then a lot of people are being duped. rick i think you just hit the nail on the head... a bunch of people have bought these cause they look cool or cause their buddy has one or cause they saw it on hot rod tv. if the filter really did what it was claimed to kn would have no trouble running a few dyno tests to show it off. just because it sounds faster doesnt mean it really is faster. denny .

boy what a suprise when i tried to start my ram up at the airport. the trucks a 1994 5.9l cummins standard trans. the key will go all the way to start dash lights up and wait to startetc. come on and go out but will not engage the starter. have to craw under the truck and short the starter to fire up the truck.. is there a way to pull the switch out to see if its the tumbular or have to replace the whole thing thanks; dave it is unlikely although not impossible for the ignition switch to be the cause here. the first thing that i would look at is the starter relay fuse. in the 97 it is located in the pdc black box with the relays under the hood but i am not sure of the 94. if this fuse tests good the next place i would look is the clutch position switch to make sure that the connector did not come loose or fall off. if the connection looks good remove it and check for continuity at the switch itself. it should be open with the pedal in its up position and should close in the fully depressed position. make sure that the switch is not hung in the open position tap it a few times firmly. if the switch checks ok you can also check both the ignition switch and starter relay coil from here. with the ignition switch held in the start position with the clutch switch unplugged you should see 12v at pin 2 wire might be dark blue with a yellow stripe of the clutch switch connector. if so then the ignition switch is ok. you can also test the starter relay coil make sure to release the ignition switch and wiring by measuring for continuity between the other pin and ground you should measure a few ohms here. if the circuit is open then either the starter relay coil is cooked or the wiring has failed somewhere on the primary side of the starter relay. if you get the few ohms of resistance you can connect 12v to that pin and the engine should crank and if not the problem is either the starter relay itself or the wiring on the secondary side of the relay. good luck hunting and post back what you find. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

i dont know about yours but my fan just bolts on to the side of the box with as hanfull of screws. i had a rat get into a squirrel cage fan in a air conditioner once when it started and the condensor damn near left the pad. beekeep on sat 10 jan 2004 102448 -0500 jammer jjhysternot@hotmail.com wrote used the truck last sunday and all was fine got into it tuesday and when i fired up the heater to high speed it sounds like the dash is going to come apart. the blower motor has a vibration and the system sounds like a jet taking off. it doesnt matter if its in the defrost or any other position loudest in full speed tolerable in the two lowest speeds. also thought i picked up a bearing noise as the motor is shut down but not always there. 18000 mile on the truck. took it to the dealer for warrantee and was told it may be that a mouse got into the system and that if they found any thing other than a defective part the cost would be on me. the truck is parked outside but mice have never been a problem. would it be possible for a critter to get into an area that would cause this over a two day period i dont keep anything on the dash so nothing got in thru the vents. should i try to pull the blower myself to see if something is caught in the blower cage or just let the dealer get into it one other thing........ maybe my is mind playing tricks on me but it seems to take forever twenty-thirty seconds for the airflow to change to a different position like from defrost to floor or vent. maybe its just this freaking cold weather were having here in maine. .

shields wrote im just glad i didnt rely on this group for any kind of real answer. but i knew id get a true showing of your knowledge. at least you know the post is showing up on the servers and people are reading your question. it would appear that nobody who read your question is familiar with that fuel rail. in a situation like this it can go one of two ways. someone replies to the question without really helping you or nobody replies at all. i personally prefer to get a reply even if it doesnt help my problem because then i know its being read. .
