ok thanks so much. ky go to http//dodgeram.info/tsb/ and look under 24-heat/ac for tsb 24-01-96a. this is the dodge response to the problem but this is not the fix that was posted on line. i cant find a copy. the fix i applied was to replace the existing canister with a larger canister from dodge. if i remember correctly it is the same canister that was installed on the jeep cherokee. the other parts were miscellaneous rubber connectors from advance auto parts. you might talk to the dodge parts man. si kyhighlander wrote lol cool stuff thanks. any idea where to find the page online ky i had a 94 doing the same thing. they come from the factory that way. there is a fix that increases the size of the little vacuum canister next to the throttle body. the factory one is about the size of your little finger the fix is about the size of a 35mm file canister. someone posted the part number and connectors for the fix on line but i erased my copy when i installed it. parts cost about $10 and 10 minutes to put it on. no more problems. when you hit the throttle the little cannister doesnt provide the vacuum buffer and the vents change from dash to windshield. si kyhighlander wrote my ram 91 model flips between the defog and the dash vents when you start up a hill. it dont have to be much of an incline either just 2 or 3 percent just enough to put a little load on the engine. ive had it to the part changers over at the dealership and after $300 it is still doing the same thing. now they want to put a $400 part on it a gas canister. with it only doing it on an uphill slope it seems to me it would be a vacuum thing. anyone have any ideas ky .

well that was fun ... stripped all the wiring harnesses under the seat... examined all the wires ... wires all fine. examined all the connectors ... connectors all look fine...no signs of overheating on any connector body or terminal. with the harness all stripped i started probing around with a meter and noticed each time i turned c303 in my hand the resistance would change between the blue and pink conductors... pink conductor is from the iod fuse which is fuse 12. blue conductor from fuse 16 is terminated in c303 right next to the pink conductor. finally getting really frustrated with not being able to physically see any defects in the wiring i decided to connect everything back up except for the seat belt control module and put the fuses back in. then to give the circuit some load i turned on the windshield wipers with the ignition off and turned c303 back and forth ... sure enough a mini light show going on inside c303!!! bottom line is ... not a wise design choice to terminate both these feeder conductors right next to each other in the same connector body. thanks for all your suggestions tom ... much appreciated!! fred ps didnt order a seat heater with the truck but some options come for free i guess! 8- this circuit in the junction block 6 8 and 10. all fuses are fed from the same source according to the sm diagram. okay - one last thing.... did you pull each fuse in succession to figure out where the feed to #16 is coming from .

another thing to help narrow things down... youve identified the circuit thats getting back-fed - acc-31 from fuse 16. now you need to identify which circuit is doing the back-feeding. pull fuse 16 and fuse 12. then check for continuity between the load terminals of each fuse meaning the terminal that feeds the circuit - not the terminal that gets +12v from the battery. if you get continuity and i suspect that you will you need to trace the wiring out the the sbcm and look closely at both the dark blue and the pink wires. also check joint connector #5 which is on the drivers side of the knee blocker panel opening inside the dash. if you disconnect this connector and repeat the continuity test above you can isolate whether the short is between the junction block and the joint connector or by checking the pink and dark blue wires on the connector if the short is downstream towards the sbcm. good luck .

hello just some information i came across i would like to verify. i have a 07 3500 ram 6.7 cummins that i bought at the end of june. i went to cummins to get a oil filter for it and they gave me the wrong filter. i went back and they told me that the filter was for the 07&1/2 motor. that they had a different epa set up on the 7&1/2 motors and that they used a different filter. the second filter they gave me had a smaller inlet then the one for the 07&1/2 motor. and that one was the right one. i was just wondering if anyone has heard of this and had anymore information on it thanks for your replies. dan .

bottom line is ... not a wise design choice to terminate both these feeder conductors right next to each other in the same connector body. thanks for all your suggestions tom ... much appreciated!! glad i could help out and glad you didnt wind up changing out the junction block. seems to me the easiest fix would be to cut one of the two wires from both sides of the connector i think you mean c360 not c303 - but no matter solder a little extension on both sides and use another type of quick connector on it i personally like the posi-lock connectors. arent electrical problems fun to troubleshoot .

turn $5.00 into $15000 in 30 days. it really works you have most likely seen or heard about this project on tv programs such as 20/20 and oprah or you may have read about it in the wall street journal. if not here it is below - revealed to you in step-by-step detail. this program is by no means new. it has been in existence in many forms for at least a decade. but in the early days it required a lot more time and effort as well as an outlay of a few hundred pounds. however thanks to paypal and the internet the outlay is now virtually zero! and whats more the entire process is faster easier and more lucrative than it has ever been! robert t. kiyosaki a financier author and teacher says this system works 100% guaranteed - it is the best cash flow system that offers high profit returns with only a minimal initial investment. read on how to turn $5 into $15000 in 30 days with paypal i was shocked when i saw how much money came flooding into my paypal account i turned $5 into $14706 within the first 30 days of operating the business plan that i am about to reveal to you free of charge. if you decide to take action on the following instructions i will guarantee that you will enjoy a similar return! please do not be sceptical about this program. at least think about it for a few days. otherwise you will be throwing away over $15000 in cash! this system has been working for 2 years and thousands of people have joined and they have been amazed by the results of a little time and $5.00! you will too! i became unemployed in august of 2001 along with several other colleagues at the printing firm where i worked. at that time i was living beyond my means and in serious debt. several debt collectors were hounding me on an almost daily basis and this consequently started a chain reaction that ended with the repossession of my car and then my home. as you can probably imagine my prospects looked pretty bleak. then in march of 2002 i received a short and simple email telling me how to make over $15000 at a time. i ignored it because of course i was sceptical. however i didnt delete that email because something about it rang true to me and i was desperate to know whether it was possible to make that amount of money in such a short space of time. by this time i was even deeper in debt and i had just about reached the point of despair. i finally realised that i had absolutely nothing to lose by having a go at the plan offered to me in that email. and apart from that i just couldnt stop myself from thinking what if it actually works therefore i put my doubts to one side and i went ahead and followed the simple instructions given in that email. it took me less than 30 minutes to complete and it cost me no more than $5. and yet by the end of 2002 i was able to book the family holiday of a lifetime in the caribbean and i bought a brand new bmw with hard cash. also in the autumn of 2003 i purchased a tidy condo in florida for no less than $125000. and yet i dont owe a single cent to anyone! to date i have made exactly $376855. my accountant has drawn up a cash-flow forecast in which he predicts that within the next 18 months i will become a millionaire just through this one business alone. even now as i write this i find it strange to come to terms with the fact that like most people ive worked hard and struggled all my life just to get by and then something ridiculously simple drops into my lap and immediately turns my life around completely. when i think back to all the similar emails i had previously deleted it makes me shudder because now i know just how close i came to missing out completely. what did it say in that email well if youll read on all will be revealed! the business plan i am about to share with you works perfectly every single time. ive never made less than $15000 from it on each occasion. let me assure you that this is a legitimate business opportunity a perfectly legal moneymaking enterprise.it does not require you to sell anything. it does not require you to speak to your friends family or anybody else unless you want to. in fact you do not need to come into contact with any people whatsoever. anyone with a pulse can become successful and make their fortune with this system. if you believe that every dog has its day then follow the simple step-by-step plan exactly as it is set out below. if you do this and this alone i guarantee that within the next 30 days you will receive over $15000 in cash via your paypal account. i know that this must sound like an outrageous claim particularly if youve never had possession of this sort of money before but believe me this business works like nothing else you may have seen before in your life! by following the simple 3-step plan set out below within a few s

they probably had some minor oil flow issues with the initial 6.7s and the newer ultra low sulpher fuel and increased the size of the fittings on the oil filter to increase it. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving hello all i purchased a 07 3500 4x4 ram with the 6.7 cummins last june. i went to cummins and bought a oil filter for it and it was the wrong one. when i took it back they said there are two different 6.7 engines for 2007 the first which i have was used until july first. the second is for use after july. cummins told me the difference was the epa set up for emissions. the two oil filters are the same size but the inlet on the oil fliter for the july and after model is little bigger. so when i tried to install it ot slipped right over the threads. so when they gave me the second filter it worked just fine. which is the same one used on the 5.9 model. i am just wondering why the oil filter for the new motor would be different. how is that relativenet to the epa setup for emissions on the newest motor. mine clearly saids 6.7 on the top of the motor. thank you all for your information. best regards dan .
