Electrical troubleshooting wipers on 86 Ramcharger

Q: that is my camper and my 05. from the looks of it if i did buy the 3500 megacab and use the standard hitch i should still clear the trailer except for when the truck and trailer are more than 90 degrees with one another. is that right nope... the closest distance between cab and trailer comes at 45. measure the distance from the pin of your trailer to a front corner. then measure the distance from the center of the rear axle to the back of your cab on your long bed. subtract 2 feet from that measurement. if the trailer measurement is longer then youve got a problem. .

i have a 98 dodge ram 1500 4x4 about 2 weeks ago my i loaned it out and they ran it out of gas. now it wont stay running after it warms up. if you start it and its cold it will hold the idle right at 600 rpms. once it warms up and you are driving it when you put your foot on the brake to slow down or stop the rpms drop to 0 and it dies. i have taken the truck to two of the local mechanics and they are telling me the fuel filter is inside the fuel tank and is non-serviceable. i have never heard of such a thing. i took it into my normal mechanic and he ran a pressure test it came back fine. he also hooked the truck up to the computer to see if any error codes would come up nothing. then i went down and bought some sea foam and put that into the gas tank. the problem is still there. its funny because if you bring the rpms up to 2500 for a couple of seconds and then take your foot off the gas it will run just fine for a short time. i am afraid of doing any more damage. any help would be appreciated. thanks gina gina@duffertech.com clean the throttle body and check the operation of the iac motor. you stated that the fuel pressure is good so that rules out a plugged filter or bad pump. .

do the 2008 rams suffer the same shortened front end life from heavy bumpers that previous models did or was the front end beefed up to support the weight of the 6.7 thanks nathan in montana http//concealedcarryforum.com there is always going to be a percentage of folks that have front end problems and if you have a forum for chatting about problems you will read about a lot of problems. not too many forums about good front ends to see how many have not had issues. i only have 130000 on my 03 2500 ctd with about 25k of that towing the 5th. ive replaced two front u-joints around 40-50k miles ago. if you read the forums everyone is getting new upper and lower ball joints at 30-50k miles. not me and i cant explain it. i dont baby my rig. maybe its cause i only rotate my tires once and only after towing the 5th for 10k miles straight. tires have great even wear when im done with them. check out http//www.dieseltruckresource.com/dev/showthread.phpt=199384 for the latest thread on front ends. fmb north mexico ** posted from http//www.tera.com ** .

i remember the conversation about the bumpers a while back. and where the concern was with the intention of using a large slide in camper and the heavy bumper possibly exceeding the fawr front axle weight rating of the truck. i forget who expressed the concern maybe tom l anyway with just the raptor and no slide in over hang to deal with i see no reason for concern with a buck stop bumper or what ever manufacturer you choose nate. its the megacabs that have had the front axle issue. -- ken .

you should read through the directions in the kit. it sounds like you tried to charge the system without the a/c turned on. if you have a can of refrigerant hooked to the system there will be enough pressure in there to close the low-pressure switch. dont worry about that. nope there isnt. i just did this on a friends 00 durango last week that had leaked out its entire charge over this past winter. i had to jump the low pressure switch before the compressor would even engage at all. .

snip maybe the inline dispenser hose gauge is reading wrong and refrigerant is still too low thanks you should read through the directions in the kit. it sounds like you tried to charge the system without the a/c turned on. if you have a can of refrigerant hooked to the system there will be enough pressure in there to close the low-pressure switch. dont worry about that. air conditioning systems arent really an off-the-cuff affair. you have a leak somewhere. the kit you bought will probably get your system working but youre going to be adding refrigerant again soon if you dont fix the leak. youll also probably overload it with oil if you keep adding it. .

#2 - if i have to drop the tank do i have to buy a special tool from dodge or is there some other deep drive socket out there that can reach the nuts. gear wrenches have always worked for me on the tank strap nuts. they also make a socket set google either gear wrench or gear ratchet. ive also made a couple of extra-deep sockets by welding a pair of cheap sockets to either end of a length of 1/2 electrical conduit. and yeah i think your pump is toast. .

nope... the closest distance between cab and trailer comes at 45. i just realized what a stupid statement that came across as... obviously if you keep going beyond 90 youre eventually going to hit. what i meant was between 0 and 90. the critical dimensions come at 45. if it will clear beyond a 45 swing then youre good up to and a little beyond 90. based on some quick calculations here and a lot of estimating i figure the pin-to-corner distance to be around 45 or so.... might be a tight squeeze. .

replace the pump. steve i read someplace that if your fuel filter is a bit clogged it can cause the pump to overheat and shut down. ive been dealing with a very intermittant problem for a few years on a 318 van and im thinking that it might be due to the pump shutting down. i tracked down a few other intermittant electrical problems and up untill yesterday the truck had been running perfect for about a year. i wasnt getting fuel at the engine so i eventually pulled the fuel line off of the filter input and ran a direct 12 volts to the fuel pump to rule everything else out. the pump didnt pump. but after sitting all night the pump works. i guess the pump had enough time to cool down my question is if the pump overheats does it normally take that long to cool down or do you think that my pump is intermittant #2 - if i have to drop the tank do i have to buy a special tool from dodge or is there some other deep drive socket out there that can reach the nuts. tia bg .
