Do I have one problem, or many
From : ernest christley
Q: the roar is still there and the engine still dies at stops. so i turn to google and search for a problem. turns out there is a problem with a $30 sensor on the rear end that will cause the spedometer/brake light problem. there is also a known problem with the fan clutch that will cause this roaring problem. i would go out and buy all the parts needed but i find it hard to believe that all these things went bad at the exact same time. can anyone here suggest a set of troubleshooting steps or test that i can work through to determine if the fan or abs sender is bad could i have gotten a bad replacement brake booster easy check for the clutch fan. drive the truck for a while to get the fan to a normal condition. then put the truck in neutral and open the hood. rev the engine up to around 2500 rpm and just listen. the fan should roar at first after a minute or so it should settle down and be quiet. there are a number of other ways to check it but this is easy. al .

hello i have a 1988 d150 with an oils leak which appears to be above coming down from the passenger side above the oil filter. is this a rear main seal it doesnt appear to be the oil pressure sender or the oil filter as far as i can tell. the truck is still in good shape and i would like to get this fixed but dont wont to drop mage bucks. any help would be great thanks. the rear main seal is the seal around the crank shaft on the back of the motor. leaks there are usually seen dripping from the inspection plate on the transmission bell housing. you may simply have a leaking valve cover gasket. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

another clue the dongle hanging off the front of the brake booster has two lines coming out. one goes to the manifold. i assume this is for vacuum. the other runs to a tee and then into the firewall at a couple of places. the new one also has a capped nipple sticking out the front that the old one didnt have but im assuming its is a non-player here. do the lines running through the firewall act as a pressure relief system there is at least one one-way valve right after the dongle i could blow through it one way but not the other. i could not blow through the system from the brake booster side after removing the valve. if the pressure gets to high would it destroy a diaphram in the booster -- this is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. it goes against instinct and morality to just sit back and watch people make mistakes. we want to help them which means control them and their decisions but in doing so we actually hurt them and ourselves. .

talk about a sad day. gets into a blow over lands on her wheels reverses direction and with the throttle wide open crashs into her tow car at a estimated 250mph and both she and her son are instantly killed. www.tulsaracewaypark.com sorry to see something like that happen. although a freaky type of accident there is little to no time to react once you notice something is wrong. -- fmb only one b in fmb .

time to get an obdii scanner for myself. anyone have one of the various actron models or otc scanners that they sell at the big auto parts chains any recommendations or advice on what to avoidthe actron cp9135 seems to be my first choice. if you ordinarily lug around a laptop computer like i do then something like www.scantool.net is your best bet. peter .

cricket... yes it is binghamton ny. i live in chenango forks a few miles north. johnc is that binghamton ny just curious my brother lives there. would be pretty funny if he was looking for a dodge and i could say a guy told me miller is pretty good. course my brother never listens to me anyway but still...; cricket ramman seacowboy milesscooter et al the dealer miller dodge in binghamton smoke tested it and intalled a new gas filler cap. less than $35.00 well spent. johnc youre apt to discover that any code that clears itself may still remain stored and come back from the grave to haunt you on vehicle emissions inspection day. been there and done that... urn4trouble@hotmail.com writes overfilling the tank does it also..done it myself a few times..it just clears itself in a few days scott thank you both for the tips and advice. i agree with miles. change the gas cap. and to clear the check engine light unhook the battery for for bout a minute. if it comes back after that then there is definitely a leak in your lines somewhere. maybe replace the lines just so you know that there isnt any leaks. good luck with that. .

steve@carolinabreezehvac.com webmaster@carolinabreezehvac.com wrote in which full synthetic trans fluid meets dodge specs thanks. dave hey..lookie who dropped in...the local illi pedophile. wow...i never thought you would pop into yet another group i am in but to anyone that is thinking of helping this fucking child molesting pervert the only help he needs is for someone to help with the knots in the lynchin rope.. this guys sick. steve what is the story with this one another dd roy well...glad you asked. dave in a nutshell started posting to the hvac group a while back and we all noticed from the start he didnt have a clue. lets face it wrong advice or advice that is just a guess is one thing totally wrong and dangerous information that goes against code is another. he was the against code and clueless kind. he also started to throw in his fundy ways telling those that told him to fark off to find god and all this stuff..about as bad as stormin mormon...another hackboi in new york. well then he did it he claimed to own a company. well...that made it so easy for those of the regs myself included to run a check on himsince its regulated business and sure enough...hes got a listing but its not legal. the state has no record of him or a licence. now...that didnt sit well after all that bad advice so we started to google this guy and see if he was a newbie if he ever gave good advice etc...now remember his advice was totally biased and wrong...dangerous to most pros not to mention the poor homeowner asking for advice. come to find out this moron was posting that he was having homosexual thoughts about his customers children...that there had been an ongoing battle in his head with demons since he had gotten an underage girl pregnant and forced her to abort it. then like all prison bitches he found god. .

isnt the sensor for the speedometer in the transmission not since 97. the sensor in the rear diff is used by both the cab for abs functions and the pcm for speedometer/odometer functions. .
