get a valve job done and replace the timing chain and gears. recheck your compression but im pretty sure the low cylinder will come back up. budd toivo maki wrote ive scanned the 26000 + messages since sometime in 2002 and havent found a problem such as mine described or solutions suggested. so here goes vehicle description 1974 dodge b300 1-ton maxivan. 318 automatic no factory air. engine had a good rebuild at 91000 current odo reading 179000 southern california vehicle all its life as far as i know. im the second owner. everything sounds good - no clatters or knocks anywhere carter bbd 2-bbl carburetor dual exhaust no crossover pipe vapor cannister and pcv are the only emission controls i know of this truck ever having. no evidence of anything being removed. ive owned it for 19 years. it used to run great. the problem ive been experiencing an increasing occurence of backfire through the carburetor. the weird thing is that it doesnt do it on acceleration or deceleration just at cruise speed. it doesnt matter what the cruise speed is - if i go 50 it starts to splut and backfire at 50. if i cruise at 75 same thing. if i could keep a constant acceration going it runs great. going up a grade i couldnt expect better performance. the carburetor is a holley-rebuilt. its not a holley carb - just rebuilt by them. cost nearly $200.00. in doing some investigating i found a gasket missing from under the step-up piston cover plate. made me wonder what else wasnt done right. i checked the float level and it was 1/8 low 1/4 is spec. i reset it and things seemed to be a bit better but it didnt cure the backfire at cruise speed. ive put on new plugs cap rotor ignition module coil plug wires. timing is dead on at factory spec of 0. vacuum advance is working properly advance weights are free and recently lubricated. when i put in new plugs champion n11y as per oem spec all the old plugs were white and had some blistering evidence of perhaps advanced timing and/or lean mixture. all the intake manifold bolts are tight. im starting to see some whitening of the metal of the choke stove well in the intake manifold. when i put a vacuum gauge on it i get a little fluctuation 3-6 in. at idle. other vacuum tests seem to check out fine. compression check shows one cylinder at about 90 others at between 130-150. im about ready to give up. can anybody point me in the right direction what other tests can i do does this sound like a carburetor or intake problem the questions keep coming - any advice or suggestions are welcome. thanks greatly. t maki riverside ca .

my guess is the pilot bearing is starting to tie up. ive seen this several times on the cummins. denny manual transmission clutch not releasing ok heres the truck. 1999 2500 diesel 5 speed. 57000 miles. no prior transmission or clutch problems. yesterday it was 100 degrees out and i drove the truck on a shopping errand about 50 miles away. i left the truck running at several stops. i noticed it was becoming stiff or difficult to shift. i couldnt get the truck into 2nd at one light so i left it in neutral while the light was red i had to kill the engine to put the tranny in gear and then restart. it was not releasing fully as when i started it to dragged the truck forward with the clutch depressed. i got on the interstate and headed home. after driving the 50 miles it now releases perfectly. the fluid reservoir is full. comments suggestions could the fluid in the system have boiled from the heat .

on sat 05 jul 2003 120813 gmt budd cochran mr-d150@citlink.net wrote i find it amazing that he claims to have never abused it and yet it goes thru transmissions like crap thru a hen. btw my son in the navy called and said he was told by a shipmate that my 727 in the old dodge could never have towed the load it did over vail pass . . . but then he drives a 2000 ford f-150. budd well if you could comprehend what you read you would realize that i have around 100000 miles on this aamco transmission. i dont see that as going through trannys like crap through a hen i see an old fart with a mental disability trying to think of something to ramble about. isnt it time for someone to change your depends beekeep .
