2003 Ram 1500 Pickup Brakes Don't Release?
From : martin
Q: rq wrote i am thinking of buying a dakota but i hear that they are real gas hogs. is this consistant with the experience of the members of this groups thanks rq wow after reading the responses youve received to date i am surprised at how bad the dakota mileage really is. my full-size 2003 ram with v8 hemi is getting better mileage both in-town and highway than these dakotas. it doesnt make sense particularly on the highway where profile of the smaller truck should be a big advantage. martin .

iow you are still wrong and you know it but feel free to explain it. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving just saving time asshole the explanation involves percentages lol pretty good at dishing it out but completely incapable of taking it lol. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving piss off alright genius how is that going to make any difference. at best the voltage between the battery positive and the engine ground will be higher than at both terminals of the battery while the alternator is working. do you need a lesson on the current path during charging too -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving are you measuring the running-charging-voltage at both battery terminals or between positive and engine ground ok you guys seem to know it all thats not intended as a slight 91 plymouth laser i know dodge truck ng but it is a chrysler product and i do own a dodge truck and well you guys know it all. constant clear liquid around the battery especially around the top vents very corrosive. no the battery does not have a leak battery was three years old exchanged with another three year old battery same thing clear liquid around battery. constantly adding water to the battery. removed regulator from the car set it up on the test bench regulator turns on alternator at 13.8 volts and turns off the alternator field winding at 14.2 volts at about 70 degrees f. battery voltage measured at the alternator/regulator is the same as the voltage measured at the battery. this vehicle uses a separate wire to measure the battery voltage for the regulator tests ok same voltage at either end of the wire. with the car running the measured output voltage of the alternator is 14.2 volts. manual says voltage should be between 13.9 and 14.9 volts question is why am i boiling the batteries. car runs fine starts ok no other problems. .

about 2 months ago my clutch went out and now i finally got around to fixing it. but while it sat there for so long now it wont start. i have no fire to the coil. it was running just fine when i started the repairs. if there is anyone out there that can help me figure this out it would be appreciated. thank you .
