    Motor Mount Bolts Frozen Into Motor Mounts :-/

    2004 Ram 2500 4WD CTD w/256k. Northeast truck that has plowed snow the past 4 years and has some corrosion under the hood. The oil pan rusted through and I'm working on replacing it. I'm trying to lift the motor a few inches so I can drop the oil pan to clear the crossmember and transmission...

    48RE Acting Funny. Surging when stopped but shifts fine.

    Just today the auto trans in my 2004 Ram 2500 CTD started surging when I come to a stop. It feels like the truck wants to keep going, like the torque converter is not releasing. The truck still idles, albeit lower because now it's under load. I've heard that a common symptom of the torque...

    Stalling, Loss of Power & Lights Dimming

    They cut open a fuel filter and found contamination so next they dropped the tank and found more contamination. They sent the tank out for a flush. Got the truck back after another $800 bill bringing my total expense for this problem to $4,000 including parts and labor. After the tank flush...

    Stalling, Loss of Power & Lights Dimming

    It's back at the shop and they're still stumped. They've got one used "known good" FCA that they keep on the shelf for testing purposes that will get the truck running right but they're worried that the truck will eat up that FCA after not much longer. Their next steps are to pull the fuel...

    Stalling, Loss of Power & Lights Dimming

    They replaced the fuel rail with pressure sensor and overflow valve. That didn't fix it. Then they replaced the CP3 pump and said they'd fixed it. I got it back, drove it 50 miles and the exact same problem is back. So far it has cost me $3000 and I'm back at square one. It's going back to the...

    Stalling, Loss of Power & Lights Dimming

    Update.... They ripple tested the alternator and said it was 100% fine. They swapped in some new batteries to see if my somewhat weak batteries were to blame and that didn't change a thing. They put their used "known good" FCA back in the truck and it ran well for a little while and then even...

    Stalling, Loss of Power & Lights Dimming

    This issue got beyond my abilities to fix as I don't have specialized diesel testing equipment or advanced scanning capabilities so I took it to the local diesel specialists, a shop called Lisi's Automotive in Brewster, NY. I told them the entire history and they looked the truck over and ran...

    Stalling, Loss of Power & Lights Dimming

    I'll try pulling the passenger side + battery terminal tomorrow and see if it affects the lights dimming. The batteries in the truck are about 3.5 years old and genuine Chrysler units. They have the window which glows green on them and they are both glowing green to indicate that they're good...

    Stalling, Loss of Power & Lights Dimming

    I just got done cleaning up all the battery connections. I removed each terminal, brushed it well, removed any corrosion which there was little of really only on the passenger side battery negative terminal. Connected everything back up. Didn't fix my issue. I did notice that the thick red lead...
