Engine starts but no power

Q: bruce mercer wrote so far i havent been able to find its location. i looked behing the glove box nothing there but those air servo things that control the air passages and some kind of a block with a plug in it in the far right hand side. after i get the replacement i may be able to tell by the plug configuration if that is it or not. it looks too large but what do i know. also i have to go out to the dealer to get one. autozone etc. doesnt carry it. hopefully the new one will look like or similar to the old one. bruce if i remember correctly by removing the glove box you can see about 4 or 5 wires going to a connector at the upper portion or top of the heater housing. after unplugging the wires and removing two screws you can lift the resistor block out of the housing. the nichrome wire coils making up the resistors and a diode hang down inside the air flow in the housing. .

just to add to maxs info pretty well but i cannot find the oil filter on the diesel yet. as max said its on the passgner-side front. you can access it from below with a 93mm end-cap wrench and long extension or from up top with a strap wrench. just remove the air box easy enough to do and youll have easy access to the filter. also noticed that the drain plug looks to be a square indention rather than a normal bolt head so it looks like i need a new tool. anyone have any ideas on either of these for me watch your torque when putting the plug back. its only 44ft.lbs. several people have cracked their plug by over-tightening. as for the fuel filter use a 1-1/8 socket to unscrew the lid. befoe you do that aim the clear drain tube that comes from the bottom of the canister into a coffee can i extended my drain hose - used a 3/8 hose barb repair kit and a length of 3/8 air hose then open up the yellow drain lever. now when you back off the canister lid the canister will drain out if it didnt already drain when opening up the lever. remove the lid and the filter comes with it. pull the filter off the lid remove the o-ring from the lid new filter comes with new o-ring put new o-ring back onto lid lube it with some oil or diesel fuel snap new filter in place and put the lid back. do not forget to close the yellow drain handle. tighten the lid just snug - but make sure there isnt a gap between the lid and the canister housing. now turn the ignition to on and momentarily bump the key to start. this will activate the fuel pump and will fill the canister with fuel. once the pump shuts off about 30 seconds start the truck. it may run rough for a few seconds - it may even stall. if it does just re-start it. once the air purges out itll smooth out. fuel filter changes should be done anywhere between 10000 and 15000 miles. that usually works out to every other oil change. buy only fleetguard fuel filters and only fleetguard stratapore oil filters. genos garage http//www.genosgarage.com is the popular on-line source for these. genos gets $12.95 for a fuel filter and as you read above it takes about 10 minutes to change out. most dealerships charge over $100 for this service. by the way - youll use 3 gallons of oil on an oil change. plan accordingly use a 15w40 oil rated for diesel use and stick with a name-brand oil. shell rotella-t mobil delvac 1300 valvoline premium blue or chevron delo 400 are all popular choices. okay... thats enough rambling for now. .

my 2000 ram is. thats because your truck is well... different and even so you still have a cable going from your pedal to your apps - just as i do. cummins-powered trucks didnt go true dbw until 05 hence the funky little tv motor on the tranny instead of the cable-actuated valve the 318/360 are always mechanically-controlled throttles as they have an actual throttle on them. of course the tps would be another place to start and really getting the codes via the ko/ko 3x method would be the best place to start. true - any stored codes might be helpful. i would think something other than a tps though - even if the tps was bad within a short period of time sub-second the map sensor should detect the higher pressure caused by opening up the throttle plates and cause the pcm to adjust the fuel accordingly. .

fine. ok. budd miles wrote budd every year new arguments from both sides come out. its back and forth like a ping pong ball. you have yet to refute my claims that nothing was ever written during jesus life by anyone. josephus was born after jesus death. there are scores of unanswered questions and conflicts in the bible but you and many others will always have some reason why. trouble is they dont even agree and their reasons. we just dont know facts either way so i do not rule out any possibilities. you do rule out all but one. thats the trouble i have with so many religions. they all claim to be right yet disagree on so many issues. budd cochran wrote youve been to http//www.answersingenesis.org/ current events in science / apologetics in the last 6 months or to http//www.drdino.com/index.php dinosaurs / evolution or http//www.carm.org/ apologetics / bible information the first one has over 100 scientists affiliated with it and they have a lot of articles that have been written recently. no miles christian sources have changed considerably in the past couple years because of new information being discovered every day. anyway you have decided to terminate the discussion as have i so be it. may the new year be good to you and yours. budd miles wrote your sources really havent changed much at all and are covered on many websites as well. it just depends on what you choose to believe. fact remains that there are few facts known either way and to say what we dont understand must be because of god is what people have done for 1000s of years. budd cochran wrote no i too thought it to be a conversation. i only offered my sources becaue of recent developments by christian scientists and scholars. your sources have not changed hardly at all over the years and are covered accurately on christian sites. me change your mind nope only facts and truth can change a mind and then only if the facts and truth are accepted. .

i have a 2003 ram 1500. the radio will not turn on. i checked the wires and i have good ground and the positive ignition switched wire turn 12v on and off. i do not have a constant 12v power wire though its just dead. i checked the fuses under the hood next to the battery all are good and have 12vs of power. on the cover it says radio amp which seems strange that it doesnt say radio head unit. any ideas is there any other fuse boxes to check out i didnt see any fuse boxes to the left or right of the dash which seems weird. thanks .
