    Brake & ABS light

    I have been having the same intermittent problem with ABS light, in conjuction with the "Parking brake Red Light" on the dash. Up until last night, it would go off after a couple miles. Of course the motor was running, so I don't know for certain if the ABS pump was activating when the light...

    New Drivetrain Vibration...?

    I had to do the fronts at 20K or there abouts. Did some others, (can't remember which ones) at 40K, but the dealer told me it was because it was so cold out and I was using 4 wheel drive to plow out driveway. (24 below zero F, 1500 ft driveway with eight feet of snow plus) Even though it was...

    New Drivetrain Vibration...?

    BINGO! You hit it on the head. The shaft WaS taken out when I replaced the clutch. There was a question in my log book about the center "carrier" because it appeared to be tweaked a little (manufactured that way) and I didn't realize it could only go in one way, otherwise, it would throw off...

    03 3500 4x4 Six Speed PROBLEMS!!! Need HELP ASAP!

    THANK YOU!!! I will put it on a trailer after tomorrow if we don't find a problem that is obvious. As for my 'service'... . there are still a million guys over there (and gals) that are putting in 24/7. Wish I was too. But like everything in life, I did a full circle. I'd still be doing it...

    03 3500 4x4 Six Speed PROBLEMS!!! Need HELP ASAP!

    You DEFINITELY have an idea there. Combined with the fact the dealer never FIXED the transmission tail shaft mount, this could be a serious indicator of what can happen. I appreciate your help. It goes "on the rack" tomorrow at a local tire shop, so I can at least get under it in my chair and...

    03 3500 4x4 Six Speed PROBLEMS!!! Need HELP ASAP!

    So can someone please tell me where this "CARSON CITY DODGE" is at??? I need to make an educated guess on the truck making it there, if it's "out of state"... ... or if I need to put it on a trailer to take it there. Thanks. Steve

    03 3500 4x4 Six Speed PROBLEMS!!! Need HELP ASAP!

    Thanks for the input. I will check it. I recently had all four changed, because I didn't have an exhaust brake. Broke all four rotors from excessive heat, and the cracks chipped down the pads like a cheese grater. Didn't take long to overheat and melt the rubber seals, smoke pouring out from...

    03 3500 4x4 Six Speed PROBLEMS!!! Need HELP ASAP!

    Flywheel, Pressure Plate, Ceramic Clutch, Throwout Bearing were all replaced as a MATCHED and BALANCED KIT! No, it did not do this prior to the clutch change, HOWEVER, there are now TWO THOUSAND MILES with the new clutch and it did NOT do this until recently. Nothing was machined. Nothing was...

    03 3500 4x4 Six Speed PROBLEMS!!! Need HELP ASAP!

    First, you're more than welcome. I'd still be doing it if I could pass the physical and get through metal detectors. Second: Thank You for the welcome. It's GREAT to finally find civilians who are worth talking with, and know what is going on, vs the oxygen thieves that are taking up two...

    Possible Injector Problem?

    Easy and quick way to find out WHICH ONE is causing the problem. Do it WHEN MOTOR IS COLD! ((prevents fuel ignition from hot manifold, etc. )) Start the motor. One by one, loosen then tighten the injector line where it hooks onto the injector. If the injector is working properly, you'll notice a...

    New Drivetrain Vibration...?

    Rotating the driveshaft 180 is work not needed. Shaft is independantly balanced, off the motor, and out of the transmission, so it wouldn't make a difference if it was put in the tail shaft in a different position. ((Unless the balance weight is gone. Spot welded on usually)) U-joints are...

    03 3500 4x4 Six Speed PROBLEMS!!! Need HELP ASAP!

    For those that don't know me, I am 100% Permanent and Totally Disabled from the Persian Gulf. I say this for one reason. It sucks to fix something, then find out it was something else that was causing the problem ((or adding to it)). It's double pain in the butt, when doing it from a wheelchair...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Dare I go to 3Rd Gen?

    AWESOME! I appreciate it. Nothing like that sick feeling when you are bouncing the pedal trying to get it to catch, going up a grade over "Flagstaff Az" with a pile of horses, and suddenly you are standing on the brake!

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Dare I go to 3Rd Gen?

    I'm INTERESTED. I had it replaced under warranty, so I am not in a hurry. BUT, I always carry backups. Nothing like being out in the middle of the high Sierras with 16 horses and down on the side of the road. Weather is constantly an issue to consider, hot or cold extremes when hauling live...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Dare I go to 3Rd Gen?

    I am "Brand New" to the forum, but am a long term owner of a Patriot Blue over black, 4x4 6 speed 2003 4 door cab Turbo 3500. I paid $53K plus tax, tags, destination fees. At 81K miles, things are going wrong, but LITTLE things that cost a ton. Make sure the APP Sensor is either NEW or...
