Q: suddenly without warning roy exclaimed 9/13/2007 339 am it is a much more common problem than it once was because of modern casting techniques. the new processes allow much thinner and lighter castings but this by itself wouldnt be an issue if the casting was annealed before they machine it. of course that costs money and it isnt done. the newly machined manifold is actually better than a new one because your useage has already annealed the casting and it will not move again. in point of fact a gasket will not be necessary at all. however i would replace the studs as a matter of common sense. it costs very little when they are whole but very e

last week when i was about to get out of my 99 dodge ram van i pulled the handle and i felt something give inside the door. no big deal i thought. i rolled down the window and pushed the door button outside and it doesnt work either. what kind of stupid crap is that i started to take the screws that i can access out of the door and removed the bezel for the inside handle. i pulled the handle after the bezel was off and it looks like the frigging bike brake cable is still intact. i really dont want to destroy the door panel or the door so please make suggestions as to how the heck i can get the door open.. .

- would anyone know whether i need the one for standand gear rotation or for reverse im assuming standard but want to be sure. yes. secondly can anyone confirm that it is indeed a dana 80 on the 2500hds it depends on your drivetrain. cummins or v10 with a standard transmission have the dana 80 - cummins/v10 with automatic has a dana 70 - 360 with either transmission has a dana 60. .

most likely it is in tat area. i know of several differential rebuilds from myself and friends. the pinion bearing has gone out in each case. you dont need the entire rear end rebuilt as we did we didnt know. i told the dealership that if they didnt save all the parts for me i was not going to pay. the parts are all fine except the pinion bearing - shot. that cost me $1300 for being stupid and in a hurry. i know now that i could have 1. done it myself; or 2. had another reputable place do the work for much less. i talked to this place after the fact and he said it was common for dealerships to do this - lots of hours = lots of $$$ its common for dearlerships to do that because they have to stand behind their work. if the failed pinion bearing allows the pinion to move around in relation to the ring gear it can cause an abnormal wear pattern. in some cases you actually hear the ring and pinion howling because of poor gear tooth contact not the bad bearing. if you just replace the bearings and re-use the ring and pinion it will be noisy. now you have to take everything apart again to replace the ring and pinion. when any bearing in a differential fails it usually sends metal particles through the entire axle housing. if you look closely at the bearing surfaces you will see the metal particles embedded in the bearing races and rollers. it is not uncommon to see particles of the failed bearing embedded in the ring and pinion gear teeth also. that is the reason why most reputable shops will replace everything. at the very least you must replace all the bearings and flush out the axle housing if you want the job done right. .

i stopped by the dealer to get one of those hoses....just in case. while i was there i learnt that there were 3 rams in for the samevcode and all three ended up being the cap. they had several in stock so i replaced mine and reset the dtcs....ill let you guys know in a day or so what the verdict is. -- ------------------------------------------ laszlo almasi ----cool toys formerly carolina watercraft works ----mack daddy trailers ----ice angels maybe i gave you the wrong location for the can i dont have a service manual for your truck in my hands here at the house and cant remember exactly where else they hid those things. hopefully tom or denny or someone else with more exact information will chime in here in a bit. passenger-side frame rail on the outside. ones round ones rectangular. i second the gas-cap... check that first. .

in response to abby.normal s post. i thought everyone should know most likely it is in tat area. i know of several differential rebuilds from myself and friends. the pinion bearing has gone out in each case. you dont need the entire rear end rebuilt as we did we didnt know. i told the dealership that if they didnt save all the parts for me i was not going to pay. the parts are all fine except the pinion bearing - shot. that cost me $1300 for being stupid and in a hurry. i know now that i could have 1. done it myself; or 2. had another reputable place do the work for much less. i talked to this place after the fact and he said it was common for dealerships to do this - lots of hours = lots of $$$ if you are tearing all the way to the pinion bearing then why not replace the other bearings its no more labor time as you have already taken that stuff apart. and pitting on the gears because of bearing shavings from the failed bearings that will make noise for sure. so a gear set is in order in that case. axle bearings have been exposed to shavings in the fluid also heck they probably need attention too. plus its a prime time to replace those axle seals you have the axles out so why not your already there i got for ya dude unless the tech/shop is crooked as hell when your all the way to the pinion bearing

rebuild price for labor. so the only question is what parts do you need and what parts are you willing to pay for as a pm thing while your there remember if you dont replace the axle seals for example and 2 weeks later they start leaking its not the techs fault they leak. you decided not to do them when you had stuff apart when it wouldnt have cost you anything but the part. now you have to pay labor again or should in my opinion because its not his fault or the shops fault that you didnt want to replace the seal because you believed you were going to get charged extra for it. -- chris .

in response to carolina watercraft works s post. i thought everyone should know well....couldnt find an evap can but i do remember a cracked hose that runs from the driver side valve cover gasket to the intake manifold. thought i had patched it well enough....could that possibly be the culprit i wouldnt think so as that sounds like the pcv valve hose you need that working right or you will have oil leaks all over the place. maybe i gave you the wrong location for the can i dont have a service manual for your truck in my hands here at the house and cant remember exactly where else they hid those things. hopefully tom or denny or someone else with more exact information will chime in here in a bit. -- chris .

clouds of white smoke. i know this is a very long shot but my symptoms were the same except for the engine using oil the transmission was though!. larryd that would be a modulator valve. . 222 339209 1190313837.280679.239270@q5g2000prf.googlegroups.com im thinking about buying a new 2007 ram quad cab diesel. found a dealer who has a 4x4 with the big horn package and some other options. msrp is 44k. they will come down to 38k. there must be a factory to dealer rebate i dont know about as this price does not include the factory to dealer rebate of $4000. so that brings the price down to 34k. my company is a supplier to chrysler so i can get another $5000 off. that brings it down to 29k. this particular truck has the older 5.9l engine which is discontinued. any reason not to go with this engine and instead opt for the newer models one issue i see is that the new engine also comes with an exhaust brake which i do not see listed on this truck. .
