lol no just 20k miles. i was using the trip reset button trick -- should do something else i take it... 2005 durango 4.7l the check-engine light was lit up on the dash on friday. couldnt take it to the dealer that day. using the dash diagnostic the odometer returns the code 050601 -- could anyone tell me what that code is it means you have 50 601 miles on the truck. diagnostic codes start with a letter usually p follows by four digits. check your codes again. by the way - you are cycling the ignition key three times and not messing with the trip reset button right .

i cycled the ignition key three times -- i could only get a code the first time -- couldnt get a code after that.... the code i believe was u1120. any ideas what it might be thanks again! 2005 durango 4.7l the check-engine light was lit up on the dash on friday. couldnt take it to the dealer that day. using the dash diagnostic the odometer returns the code 050601 -- could anyone tell me what that code is it means you have 50 601 miles on the truck. diagnostic codes start with a letter usually p follows by four digits. check your codes again. by the way - you are cycling the ignition key three times and not messing with the trip reset button right .

a funny thing though about how the check engine light first came on i was driving on a road alone no other cars around and saw the drawbridge was up. i coasted down shifted into neutral let it roll to a stop at the bridge and cut the engine. ten seconds or so later i notice the engine was still running so i turned the key apparently the rest of the way off. the engine turned off. perhaps i didnt rotate the key quite far enough. after drawbridge came back down and the barriers lifted i cranked it up to go -- and the check engine light was on. im really kind of thinking that the check engine light is just an oddity caused in some way by that improper shutdown or whatever.... perhaps ignition was cut for a split second and threw a fault code due to interrupted signal from a sensor or something.... the check engine light stayed on the rest of the day friday and the vehicle was not used this weekend. the check engine light did not come on today other than the normal quick bulb test. the vehicle has run just fine the entire time. 2005 durango 4.7l the check-engine light was lit up on the dash on friday. couldnt take it to the dealer that day. using the dash diagnostic the odometer returns the code 050601 -- could anyone tell me what that code is it means you have 50 601 miles on the truck. diagnostic codes start with a letter usually p follows by four digits. check your codes again. by the way - you are cycling the ignition key three times and not messing with the trip reset button right .

the code i believe was u1120. any ideas what it might be thats a uart code - means something was wrong with the obd-ii interface itself. somethings screwy... did it read pdone when it was finished there has to be at least one pxxxx code to set the check engine light off. it sounds like youre not cycling the key correctly. the on position is the position just before the starter engages - where all the instrument lights come on. the off position is one position back from that - where the lights turn off. you should cycle the ignition on-off-on-off-on within 2-3 seconds leaving the key in the final on position. you should be able to get a code reading every time by doing this. .

absolutely tom and you were dead-on with the ignition key -- far more than you know. i never saw a p code -- just the u1120 followed thereafter by a row of dashes i think anyway the diagnostics showed a loss of power to half a dozens sensors throughout the vehicle. remember somehow in the initial shutdown when i turned the engine off at that drawbridge to wait a while and then discovered the engine was still running apparently the ignition switch was in some half-run position. they should consider changing the ignition switch to a system similar to what computers use nowadays. the power switch on old home pcs used to turn off the power supply but nowadays it tells the computers motherboard to initiate a shutdown. the motherboard and operating system do whatever they need to do to shut down the system and then tells the power supply to power down. the check engine light stayed on the rest of the day friday and the vehicle was not used this weekend. the check engine light did not come on today other than the normal quick bulb test. the vehicle has run just fine the entire time. okay - then whatever code got set cleared itself. i agree you probably made it mad by the unconventional shutdown. tempermental little things these computer controls... .

they also kindly informed me that at 20k miles i need to get that rear axle oil changed! every 15000 miles! in an 05 durango with factory synthetic axle fill. a vehicle that never tows and just idles along back and forth to work around 50mph every day. theyre just wanting me to do the severe-service maintenance interval of course. theres not even a fluid change specified at all on the standard change interval in the manual which surprised me -- not even at 100k or 150k miles. id be uncomfortable waiting past 100k miles though. absolutely tom and you were dead-on with the ignition key -- far more than you know. i never saw a p code -- just the u1120 followed thereafter by a row of dashes i think anyway the diagnostics showed a loss of power to half a dozens sensors throughout the vehicle. remember somehow in the initial shutdown when i turned the engine off at that drawbridge to wait a while and then discovered the engine was still running apparently the ignition switch was in some half-run position. they should consider changing the ignition switch to a system similar to what computers use nowadays. the power switch on old home pcs used to turn off the power supply but nowadays it tells the computers motherboard to initiate a shutdown. the motherboard and operating system do whatever they need to do to shut down the system and then tells the power supply to power down. the check engine light stayed on the rest of the day friday and the vehicle was not used this weekend. the check engine light did not come on today other than the normal quick bulb test. the vehicle has run just fine the entire time. okay - then whatever code got set cleared itself. i agree you probably made it mad by the unconventional shutdown. tempermental little things these computer controls... .

they also kindly informed me that at 20k miles i need to get that rear axle oil changed! every 15000 miles! in an 05 durango with factory synthetic axle fill. yeah - that happened with the switch to the aam axles. frankly i think its aam selling dc a bag of manure and theyre just passing it along to us. no way does an axle needs its fluid changed every 15000 miles - when we were doing 50000 miles on dana axles. ive been changing my axle fluids at 30000 - only because its easy enough to do and it lets me use my drain plugs in my aftermarket diff covers .

no way does an axle needs its fluid changed every 15000 miles - when we were doing 50000 miles on dana axles. 50000 miles if so im 35000 miles overdue on my dana 60 - spicer 70 combo. something to do my next weekend off. its also time to adjust the bands on the 47re change the coolant and do an oil & filter and fuel filter change. while im at it i suppose i should grease the suspension again out too. good thing i dont have an ignition system to tune-up too. -- ken .

when i first bought my 05 ram 1500 4.7l. i took it in to dodge dealer for an oil change. they said it needed rear end service. i thought ok that shouldnt be much cost. it was $105... ed they also kindly informed me that at 20k miles i need to get that rear axle oil changed! every 15000 miles! in an 05 durango with factory synthetic axle fill. yeah - that happened with the switch to the aam axles. frankly i think its aam selling dc a bag of manure and theyre just passing it along to us. no way does an axle needs its fluid changed every 15000 miles - when we were doing 50000 miles on dana axles. ive been changing my axle fluids at 30000 - only because its easy enough to do and it lets me use my drain plugs in my aftermarket diff covers .
