Q: hi max thanks for the info but whats the apps hi max thanks for the info but whats the apps thanks; dave if it worked when it went to the dealer or he was supposed to fix it then take it back and tell him its not working right!! your symptoms sounds familiar check to see that the wire harness got plugged into the apps securely. -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. will this cause a problem. since the dealer had the truck for the throttle link/ing wire upgrade. the truck will just idle fine will crap out when i try to drive loss of power will die than have to wait a few minutes then truck starts up and limp home. thanks; dave -- posted via demon.com - premium uncensored group service -------http//www.demon.com------ unlimited access anonymous accounts uncensored broadband access -- posted via demon.com - premium uncensored group service -------http//www.demon.com------ unlimited access anonymous accounts uncensored broadband access -- posted via demon.com - premium uncensored group service -------http//www.demon.com------ unlimited access anonymous accounts uncensored broadband access .

the splash guards were not the problem i had the chrome wheel well trims installed by dodge and they were not mopar parts. so dodge wont do anything i have to afte the dealership. ooops sorry... i misread your op. mike so this afternoon i talked to the shop foreman and he is still waiting to hear from dodge. here in sask they mix salt and sand in the city for icy streets. inside the moulded mud flaps they were have filled with sand. this was far down enough that it did not touch any paint. i would recommend anyone who has any trims on to take them off now and then to clean out any cunk. dale simmons mikesim@yhti.net wrote yonzie the mopar molded splash guards come with screws that have a sealer on the threads to prevent this very thing from happening. i would mention this to the dealer and he should mention this to their rep as well. if you would have installed aftermarket splash guards i would say you are on your own but since you installed mopar accessories they have an obligation to help you out. mike my 2003 has rust. i had chrome wheel well covers put on by the dodge dealership where i bought the truck new. also had moulded dodge mud flaps put on.put these on to protect the truck from stone chips. just a couple weeks ago i took of the flaps off to clean them. some sand got trapped inside the flaps and washed them. then i decided to take the chrome wheel well covers of to see if anything needed cleaning. found the paint was bubbling and peeling in two spots. about the size of a silver dollar. where the holes were drilled to fasten the mouldings the paint around them was rusting. my local dodge dealer who didnt sell me the truck took pictures of this and sent them out to the area rep. they tell me on thursday that dodge will not fix the rust. its not the fault of the truck. the installation of accessories is not covered. so who ever drilled the holes to install the guards will have to cover the problem. had two estimates to have the four fenders pained about $1300. now the shop foreman where i bought my truck at dodge city in saskatoon is going to talk to the same area rep. i know dodge will tell him its not the trucks fault that the holes should never been drilled. question is dodge sells these mouldings through parts so how are you suppose to install them screws come with them. anyhow i know im going to be stuck with the painting. got to get it fixed can not have it get worse. im going to get the truck painted even if i have to pay for it. so anybody out there dont put those moulding on. salt and sand gets between them and the paint. friday went out and drove a 2005 ford f250 crewcab. very nice riding truck. might have to go monday and price it out. dodge has really disappointed me after 5 dodge trucks maybe time to switch. dale .

its back and this time back with a vengance. p0307 cyl #7 misfire those who have followed my plight know this saga began a year or more ago. various things at various times have solved or rather mitigated the problem to a greater or lesser extent for a while but this time its back and not quite but almost a steady-state hard failure. clearing the code and it comes right back within the first 510 miles of town driving. 97 ram 1500 5.2l 80k miles work done over the past year to date all mopar parts new coil new plugs new wires new rotor cap plug wire rerouting tsb applied flushed injectors several times cleaned combustion chamber checked compression 135144 lbs all cyls 52.8 psi fuel pressure swapped #5 & #7 injectors problem stays on #7 problem seems to occur most often when decelerating from 2530 mph to a complete standing stop in gear i.e. approaching and then sitting at a light with your foot on the brake. all of a sudden you feel a faint flutter in the idle and 10 secs later the mil lamp is on. sitting in the shop idling in gear and you can see the misfires counting up 810 in the course of a couple minutes all on #7. the only code being set is p0307. what next doctor .

no map on this vehicle. i have checked and tripled checked all hoses and if there is a leak someplace i sure have missed it. it acts like dirt would do in the fuel line of a carb. version. i did replace the fuel filter a few months back. it will run great for a while then go into a rough idle state then back ot running great again. i am sure a bad or vacuum hose off what not do this. thanks anyway and i will take a forth look at the hoses. ron transurgeon wrote vacuum hose off somewhere map sensor hose for starters............... i just got through rebuilding my wifes 1989 plymouth voyager 3.0 l engine plus any thing else i would find when i had the engine out like the rack and pinion and control arm bushings. the problem i am having is one that it had before i tore into it so i it isnt anything that i did wrong. my basic reason for the rebuild was to take care of all the leaks which included a blown head gasket. ok the problem is the engine isnt running good at idle. the first part i replaced was the air idle control valve motor. at the price of sensors and valves i hate to just replace them if i an not sure they are defective. the air idle control valve did seem to make some difference but still if i come up to a stop light with the air on the engine will die. the van has 140000 miles on it and still has the original fuel pump but i was told if it is bad there would be more of a high speed problem the idle problem. any suggestions thanks ron in phx .

i have had three 360 powered vehicles a 74 roadunner best 360 ever by far a 77 power wagon horrible in so many ways a 84 or 85 ramcharger cant remember what year i sold it almost immediately back 10 years ago a week after i bought it for an insanely cheap price.. they all did this. from day one. i fixed the problem on the roadrunner and powerwagon by rejetting and/or a metering rod change. the ramcharger was gone after i changed the manifold gaskets. the 74 had no problems with the intake gaskets but the 77 took drastic measures the most obnoxious smelling sealing stuff smeared on them to solve it after changing them several times once by the dealer once by a garage and three times by me. of course if the heads would have been even remotely straight it would have helped a lot. the stock manifold was warped to match the heads so it wasnt too bad but it cracked and i wanted to go to a 4 barrel carb and so i bought an edelbrock intake and it was straight so not only didnt it seal well the damn bolt holes had to be enlarged to put it on. fine quality back in 77. one thing and i dont know how the later ones are set up that made this problem much worse was that the vacuum advance in the 77 caused the distributor pickup to graze the pole piece at a certain point in its travel. i found this out by putting it on a scope and it had a certain rpm point it started misfiring and we found out if the advance hose was disconnected it didnt do it. i ended up buying a direct connection replacement distributor and having it recurved slightly stock it pinged badly and it helped a lot but the cure was a little more fuel.. i passed on buying a ram in 2000 i just couldnt buy another la engine so i bought a gmc instead. after it was wrecked i bought a 2003 hemi ram. i sure dont miss the 318/360.. good luck.. i feel dumb when i read this forum. .
