    NV5600 lock up?

    I will report back what I find. I'm probably going to ship it to Standard Transmission and Gear in Fort Worth if they will take it. They did my NV4500 pinning the 5th gear and rebuilt it on my '99. That shipping cost me $238 after I palletized it and took it to Conway which a shipping...

    NV5600 lock up?

    Reading that article seems to summarize what exactly happened to me, felt the engine being dragged down, immediately slowed and found exit in 2 miles, trans locked up at base of exit, let cool down after 3 hours and was able to move truck. We put 7 quarts of the recommended AMSOIL after rebuild...

    NV5600 lock up?

    I was towing a boat/trailer < 5000 lbs on my return trip NJ to Atlanta down I-81 and midway on trip a puff of smoke came up thru my shift boot (console still removed to replace heater core AGAIN) and seems like I felt motor being dragged down. I headed for exit ramp in < 2 miles and as I turned...

    random no start/not turning over issue fuse & relay panel problem?

    I'm having random no start/not turning over, like battery completely dead problem with my '04. When I get in and turn the key, absolutely nothing. My mechanic son said jiggle the positive power cable coming into the Fuse and Relay Panel with the key on and you should hear a click and then try...

    Hyper sensitive brakes on 04.5 Ram 2500 quad cab long bed

    I was 1/2 mile from home when I experienced the brake lock issue and I typically try to anticipate a stop light and slow to a stop without breaking and was barely rolling at 10 mph so truck stopped in less than 3’ so I never really heard any scrapping, it was a lockup/shudder is all I heard...

    Hyper sensitive brakes on 04.5 Ram 2500 quad cab long bed

    You’ll notice I loosened the 2-12mm caliper bolts to pivot the caliper out to check pad thickness. They looked new. What happened was when I applied brakes, the caliper pivoted off the top bolt and it ground into the soft aluminum of the wheel causing the violent shudder throughout the...

    Hyper sensitive brakes on 04.5 Ram 2500 quad cab long bed

    I went to test the truck brakes on gravel and as I stopped at 1st intersection. I lightly tap the brakes and the front right wheel, locked and skidded, leaving about a 32 inch skid mark but none of the other wheels locked up. What confused me is that with that right front locking up caused a...

    Hyper sensitive brakes on 04.5 Ram 2500 quad cab long bed

    Ozy...respect your response and tend to agree somewhat, something is raising the brake line pressure but how would the Hydroboost raise it? If it failed, I would think I would have a hard pedal and no power steering which I've encountered on my '99 and replaced the HB on it. Can the HB fail the...

    Hyper sensitive brakes on 04.5 Ram 2500 quad cab long bed

    I eliminated it being a caliper/pad overheating and making brakes sensitive. I drove truck down my subdivision street in AM cold and barely rolling down slight grade applied the brakes and they immediately locked and the anti lock kicked in. Gonna replace flex lines and flush lines. Will report...

    Hyper sensitive brakes on 04.5 Ram 2500 quad cab long bed

    I’m wondering if the front brake flex lines are the problem not letting brake fluid back flow after applying brakes being 19 years old. The replacement maintenance never ends - new $750 ball joints, rotors, pads, calipers all around 5k miles ago, hvac heat and a/c core replaced, new blend door...

    Hyper sensitive brakes on 04.5 Ram 2500 quad cab long bed

    I did feel the wheels with my hands for temps and they were warmer fronts than back wheels to be expected. Not too hot to hold my hand on for a while (6 spoke factory 17” aluminum rims). Will get infra red temp sensor tho to verify.

    Hyper sensitive brakes on 04.5 Ram 2500 quad cab long bed

    I'm not smelling that telltale overheating brake smell that I’ve experienced many times with my’98 Ford diesel van. It’s notorious for that and I need to replace the flex lines on the front brakes. I will get that infrared temp sensor tho just to make sure the Dodge isn’t dragging pads.

    Hyper sensitive brakes on 04.5 Ram 2500 quad cab long bed

    Searched on "hyper sensitive brakes" but maybe I'm not doing it right. Just drove 7 miles to store and back no problems but as traffic slowed to red light to my street on way home I rolled to - not quite a stop so lightly touched the brakes and they screeched to a halt. I let off the pedal...

    Think twice before getting a one piece driveshaft....

    Wish I'd known this before paying $1000 for mine 2 years ago. The previous owner had installed an upgraded Borg Warner turbo and Industrial Injuection I2 injectors and the dual disk Southbend clutch twisted mid bearings on this 6 speed 2500 long bed so we ordered/installed the one piece shaft...

    zero fuel pressure

    Thanks for that picture showing the screen i need to check. Guess I'll get busy dropping the tank after I siphon out about 10 gallons of remaining diesel. Hope my transmission jack can be used to drop tank.

    zero fuel pressure

    One battery terminal (positive) was loose and I could remove easily because it wouldn't tighten, so I pulled it all apart and filed the gap down to allow proper grip. Thought that might be the answer but still no f/p. I also checked the lead to the pump by disconnecting and probing with test...

    f/p indicator light

    Good points, I have already installed an ISSPRO f/p gauge but I'm trying to figure out why I have no f/p after installing new FASS DRP-02 a month and a half ago and only 3500 miles. I did check the lead for power which it does have. So I either have a faulty new pump of something upline...

    f/p indicator light

    Anyone ever add an indicator light off the fuel pump hot wire to your dashboard to show you've got power to f/p?

    zero fuel pressure

    Sounds like a great plan. Its at the shop my son is a mechanic at so I got to decide to drop the tank or pull the bed.
