wrote just replace the output speed sensor. its a common problem. take ya 5 minutes. its threaded into the side of the transmission i believe on the drivers side. youll need a 1 wrench. i have a 98 1500 1/2 ton 2wd with the 5.9l 360ci my check engine light came on last week and i pulled up code 0720. according to my manual and the code reader it is a output speed sensor circuit malfuntion. where would be a good starting point to find my problem. the book says theres a sensor above the harmonic balance but then states its on a diesel thanks lost and needing help i have the same code in my 98 dodge. thank you for the information about finding the sensor. how do you reset the computer i was reading in the hayes repair manual that on 98 models and later that you can not disconect the battery terminal to reset the computer please advise. -- posted using the http//www.autoforumz.com interface at authors request articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards topic url http//www.autoforumz.com/dodge-98-ram-code-0720-ftopict122879.html visit topic url to contact author reg. reqd. report abuse http//www.autoforumz.com/eform.phpp=653840 .

tire rack.... i live in hawaii and had to replace a couple of good year a/t. found these to be excellent for on road low noise and good tracking and decent for the quick off road impulse runs.. i paid about $182.00ea with costdelivery and costco install. the local rip off assholes wanted $295.00ea for 295s.. dave suddenly without warning edtheward exclaimed 20-aug-05 427 am ill second that recommendation. ill third it! mike -- .bob 1997 hd fxdwg - turbocharged! 2001 dodge dakota qc 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 mustang coupe - daily driver 1965 ffr cobra - finally on the road! um..ill uh..fourth it....whats for dinner again i dunno. salmon i think. but fresh-picked blackberry cobbler for dessert! i have the stains and quite a bit of thorn damage to prove theyre fresh picked. got over two quarts off the moor behind my house and wasnt even trying hard. thanks all. guess that means tirerack.com it is... be sure to e-mail us some of that cobbler. well tell you ifn it was any good. bg denny -- posted via demon.com - premium uncensored group service -------http//www.demon.com------ unlimited access anonymous accounts uncensored broadband access .

i had the same thing this fall on my 3.9. the pickup for the ignition is a know to fail or intermediatly fail. mine went at 79000 miles. drove home one night and it stumbled and backfired on the highway. when i got off the highway it just died. then it took a few long cranking to catch again. i did have a fault code pop up for the sensor. changed it the following day in 15 minutes was $70.00. never happened again. this could be the same issue you have. many have this happen but i lucked out it didnt completely fail out on the road. scott they seem tight although there is some up and down play.ive been told that is a good position for the firing of the injectors.what would you suggest for syncit doesnt seen to really make a difference although it seems to gain power when at +6. pxhne.7057$rz2.2972@read3..atl.earthlink.net scott and barb crowley9@gate.net. wrote runs as though it is running out of gas.usually feel a hesitation when accelerating lightly although it deteriorates to backfiring and stumbling .sometimes seems to get better if the engine is turned off and restarted.can make accelerate smoother if you feather the throttle.if you hold it to the floor it runs fine.always starts right up.changed fuel pump.might run fine one day although seems to be running worse lately for longer periods.39 lbs fuel pressure doesnt vary.injectors test at 14.6 ohms.the belly pan and intake i replaced same problem.the cam position sensor is new and synced to +6.it stays unvarying in degrees.throttle position sensor is new and adjusted correctly.the crank position sensor has been reading no signal on my tester last couple of scans although the timing can be seen advancing.the injectors are opening for 2 milliseconds currently.the 02 sensor has been reading rich whether closed or open mode lately.the map sensor appears to be varying voltage correctly.the computer has been changed out to no avail.19 inches of vacuum at idle and steady.the problem continues whether egr is hooked up or bypassed.temperature sensors are reading correctly.before i throw more money at thisi was going to replace the map sensor first the crank position sensor next and then the 02 sensorsame problem whether cold or hot.any one have suggestions why do you have the cam sensor synched to +6 check for worn distributor bushings. .

lol because there is no reason for an argument. never stopped you in the past. pkb and as if to prove me correct in a spot where there is no reason for an argument and plenty of reason to simply shut up as in saving face and proving you can walk away from what you think is a non issue you jump right in with stupid name calling. the only name calling here is coming from you there maxi. all i said was pkb to what you said and if you attribute that to name calling then the name calling initially must have came from you imagine that. the fact that you posted in this part of the thread at all proves my point that it is you jumping in with the name calling and this responce from you now shows that you are unable to as you say save face and prove you can walk away from what you think is a non issue. like it or not you do jump right through hopps placed in your path. or in this case placed as a diversionary tactic.... right friggin through. almost like shooting fish in a barrel except the splash back in the face. funny it looks more like you doing the jumping here since this thread had nothing to do with you and yet here you are first with the name calling and then with the jumping when called on it lol. any answer from you at this point would simply prove me correct even further. can you resist there is nothing to resist here maxi and your attempt at reverse psychology is about as lame as garys. but you are right this is a non issue so feel free to have the last word you have already shown your cards. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .
