thanks to all who responded so far. last i posted was that the transmission was not engaging. this was based on my experience when i was sitting on a hill.the truck kept rolling back when in any gear. last night i tried to drive it again. this time i am on flat surface. when i press on the accelerator the truck tried to move. it was like there was not enough power to move it. now what could this signify for those who dont know its a 2000 ctd. .

the truck is a 96 ram 2500 4x4. the bearing they are sealed right separated while removing the hub while changing my rotors. could this be a problem i changed the rotors repacked the wheel bearing and put everything else back on. i hand tightened the hub into the torque range. i dont want the grease to wash out. will the bearings be protected .

i had a 79 chrysler with a lean burn module. it would fail on occasion.. driving along and all of a sudden engine would just die. all these mechanics would say check everything else except that. i borrowed a mitchells troubleshooting book which pointed to that. on the 87 only had the spark module. which is fine; the plugs spark. -- christopher a. young you cant shout down a troll. you have to starve them. . ignition computer stormin mormon cayoung61-&spamblock*-@hotmail.com wrote in message 1987 dodge one ton b350. 318 cid engine. mileage is about 160000. ps/ pb. used to be a telephone company vehicle. then it was owned by a rental property guy who badly neglected it. .

i unscrewed the drain plug the pan is made by hy-tech and it has a magnetized head on it. on the head was some metallic sludge. it looked like it had been there for a long time. i forgot to take a picture before i wiped it off. in the pan is nothing and fluid is still bright red. i still have to remove the filter which is made from a metal mesh. i dont know if that is good or not. one of the three screws is strangly metric hex so i have to go and buy a metric hex set now. update later on. gb .
