trash in the line wouldnt the fuel filter in the tank catch that or are we talking about sumpn else the fuel line is steel. water in the gas can cause the line to begin to rust and when the rust particles break off they can clog an injector. again since #5 didnt start misfiring right away i think that can be ruled out. .

i would check your front flexible lines as well as your fluid level in the master cylinder. and then id change out the master cylinder. had two vehicles where the pedal suddenly and without apparent reason went to the floor. changed the mc on both and never had the problem re-occur. .

fords........ better idea! heated seats i asked my dad why he isnt keeping his little pickup truck in the garage. he said that he heard that they were catching on fire while being parked. he asked the dealer about it and they said that ford would be sending out letters concerning the problem. this was a few months ago. now you have to understand that dad is 85 and can get a little confused so i am not sure what to believe. have any of you here heard about such spontanious fires happening beekeep ps has anyone heard from budd lately and if anyone has his email addy would you ping it to me at honeybs@radix.net. i would like to send him a note. i thought that was a normal thing for fords to catch fire!! i hope he doesnt live down by your neighborhood that caught fire .

the trucks that came with 265/70s from the factory must have some kind of chip or gear to make the speedo accurate. is this changeable by me what does it cost -- homebrewer .

i have a 95 b2500 which has been whistling through the doors for a while when driving at highway speeds. sounds to me like air is seeping through the weather stripping and its most likely time to replace the drivers side and passengers side. where besides the dealer can you get a replacement set any websites that are a good source for dodge van parts thanks barry .

lawrence tnloaswpraemnmcien5g@earthlink.net writes hmmm... okay we can pretty much rule out injectors as the problem - although the fact that it occurred again on #7 could be a fuel contamination problem - #7 is closest on the fuel rail to the inlet so any trash in the line usually ends up clogging the #7 injector. however id then expect you to have immediate misfires on #5 since that used to be the #7 injector and it would have been clogged/fouled previously... trash in the line wouldnt the fuel filter in the tank catch that or are we talking about sumpn else .

lawrence tnloaswpraemnmcien5g@earthlink.net writes he could also have an excess build-up of carbon around the valve and combustion chamber. maybe a dose of mopar combustion chamber cleaner would be in order before spending major bux. of course the crossfire tsb should be performed as well. yep - was thinking about that as well... just strange that it went away for several months. nevertheless that should be the next course of action - along with a change of plugs since the cc cleaner tends to trash plugs plugs are new wires are new coil is new rotor cap is new all mopar stuff from the dealer. remember that so far even when its remained clear for weeks/months on end that i have always been able to make it code simply by starting the truck with accidental slight accelerator pedal pressure causing a slight overrev at ignition. that behavior has been with us for the past year. it will code 43 p0307 within 30 secs to 1-2 minutes of that event. does that suggest anything besides a complete doofus behind the wheel .

dodgeewe wrote okay guys. so you know i got that new nissan titan king cab right well wouldnt you know it im having transmission problems!!! i cant believe it.... its only got 500 miles on the dang thing! it started yesterday. at first it seemed like it was not shifting at the optimum rpms. i thought hum thats funny i might need to get that checked out then the next thing you know from a stop i put on the gas it gets to about 3000-4000 rpms then slams into gear wtf. one of the main reasons that i even considered other makes of vehicles was the tranny problems with the rams. damned if you do damned if you dont. i have to call the dealership tomorrow because you know damn straight that this is defiantly covered under warranty! im hoping it might be a loose vacuum hose the shift throttle or just a quick fix thing.... any ideas just to appease my mind til i take it to the dealership gloomy and miserable michele sorry sweet michelle....... lets be glad it didnt puke its guts all over the street when you were on your way to work but mark told you to get a solar yellow 05 rumble bee........ ducking under computer desk .

is it a 4x4 does it have overdrive carl i bought a used 96 dakota club cab 3.9 v6 with automatic nearly a year ago. the truck itself is close to being a cherry but the gas mileage sucks. the plug wires and dist cap appear to have been new when i bought the truck. when pulled the plugs also looked new. the cat rattled so i had it replaced. i put in new thermostat just in case. the air filter has been changed. the tires are properly inflated. the rear end gears are 3.5. i use 10w-30 oil. there are no trouble codes registering. the truck runs just fine even with 97000 miles on it. however the gas milage sucks. even though no codes were registering i took an uneducated guess and changed out the after-cat oxygen sensor. i drive it with a very light foot. before replacing the oxy sensor i was getting 12 to 12.5 mpg city. now after a new sensor i am getting 14-14.5 city. is this the best i can expect from this truck. what are others getting as city mileage with a simliar dakota. what cost effective measure can i take to try to up the mileage oldtimer .

lawrence tnloaswpraemnmcien5g@earthlink.net writes your above post. even started using chevron gas. been fine for going on 4 months but it just came back. its cyl #7 again in spite of the injector swap. hmmm... okay we can pretty much rule out injectors as the problem - although the fact that it occurred again on #7 could be a fuel contamination problem - #7 is closest on the fuel rail to the inlet so any trash in the line usually ends up clogging the #7 injector. however id then expect you to have immediate misfires on #5 since that used to be the #7 injector and it would have been clogged/fouled previously... id now guess some cross-firing of the plug wires. its been a while so i forget what was discussed before. how old are the plug wires have they been re-routed per the tsb tsb what tsb havent seen it. everythings new. plugs wires coil cap all within the last 6-8 months all in a quest to solve the #7 misfire problem. have held off on replacing the injectors because theyre expensive. the truck is a 97 1500 5.2 automatic. 77k miles. daily commuter 17 miles in through stop * go traffic 17 miles back home @70 mph via a brand-new tollway. have been running chevron fuel for the last 10-15 tankfuls. cleared the code autozones obdii tool and dumped some injector cleaner in it last fillup so far so good cold idle presently smooth but i know sure as god made green apples its coming back. nothings ever that easy to fix. so tell me about or point me to this tsb. most recent incident the truck developed a rough idle when cold i.e. first start-up of the morning 2-3 minutes later it coded. .

so are you equally dismayed with lip glosss posts yes. hypocrite. hypocrite why would you say that is it because the lip gloss posts flooded the group before i made another comment about off topic bullshit that shouldnt be here i think i clearly made my point of view known that im opposed to any political posts in non political groups. the only people interested enough in reading all of this crap already has their mind made up on who they want to win the election including you and me. if you think spamming this group is going to sway one single vote either way you are sadly mistaken. .
