How to remove wiper arm from the post on RAM
From : kyhighlander
Q: you shouldnt have to remove the wiper arms. but it does sound like a rat took a liking to the hoses under the plastic cowl. i had to fix a plugged nozzle. as i recall i no longer have the old 95 getting under the cowl was but a few plastic screws. right at the base of the windshield. sorry too much gray hair to recall more than that. ed hi i need to remove the wiper arms from the post on a 95 dodge ram truck. the washers arent working and the fluid just pours out onto the driveway when you try to use them. i figure i have a chewed thru hose or some such. we have had rats make nests in the engine compartment before. the dealership was supposed to have fixed this but you know that story i suppose. lol figure i may as well do it myself rather than waste the gas to take it back a second time. any and all help is appreciated.. ky .

craig c. wrote i read the paper too. do you think that maybe al owns one too i know its a stretch for that right wing mind of yours. ive seen him driving a prius. moron. do you think he might have been driving his sons maybe that would be a stretch for a left wing mind of yours. according to his public statements he doesnt drive his own car much but when he rents he apparently likes to speed in a 4 door gas guzzling lincoln. .

z88z wrote project - replace the 46re in my 98 5.9/auto/4wd zj with a 5sp from a 98 5.9/5spd/4wd ram or dakota build is for street performance not off road use. probably won be mega horsepower maybe 400 at most. slightly confused on the crank/flywheel/trans issue. 1. the 5.2 is external balance the 5.9 is internal so they us different flywheels but the mopar site shows one flywheel p/n# for 5.2/5.9l and different flywheel p/n# for the 5.9 magnum. so a used flywheel would have to come from a 5.9 magnum and not th stock 5.9 2. are the 5spd models different depending on whether the truck ha a 5.2 a 5.9 or a 5.9 magnum 3. i believe im looking for an nv3500 or is it the nv3550 wha are the horsepower ratings and which years will fit the nv4500 is bullet proof but has a granny 1st and i more suitable for off road use 4. how can i tell which vehicles have close ratio 5. does the v8 dakota have the same drivetrain and 5 speed model as the ram 6. anyone installed a 5spd into an obdii mopar vehicle tha originally came with an auto 7. can my jeep pcm be reflashed so its not looking for auto tran inputs or can i reflash the pcm from a 5.9/5spd/4wd ram with my vin and mileag or whatever i cant pass ma vehicle inspection with a cel on. any help is appreciated. the answers dont have to be too long o involved. mostly looking to clarify the flywheel/trans model issue. thanks. joh great info steve! you came through onc again ok ive boosted my knowledge base in the last week so in spite o the length of this post i think theres really only two or three mai questions that should be pretty easy to answer the only issues now 1 still not sure what trans im looking for. 2 one more basic ecm/pcm question. 3 how do i find out if a used tran is close ratio lots of little question below here but again i really only need tw or three answered. im mostly concerned with finding a trans preferably close ratio that will work. i dont really need answer or info about all the various trans listed here unless theres mor than one application for my swap. if you have the time and inf though thats good too was the 5spd ram you put the 5.9 into a 4wd truck if it is 4wd wha trans is it and how much horsepower are you putting through it im looking to do some performance mods but im not talking crazy h here. id be lucky if i got anywhere near 350hp again im hoping to use dodge parts from a donor truck. not goin for a mega-dollar buildup here maybe im chasing a ghost but im almost sure i had seen 150 laramies with 5.9 magnum/5spd/4wd for sale very rarely in our loca wantads. if so what 5spd would be in that or is it like this 5.9magnums/4wd only have autos 5.9/5spd/4wd only have non-magnum 5.9 5.9magnum 5spd are only made for 2wd trucks i hope not other trans questions any of the following applicable nvg3500 - different from the nv3500 nv3500 only good for 400hp or even less nv3500 has fixed bell housing and the nv3550 is removable nv3550 was not used as a factory dodge application but can b adapted nv4500 can this trans be regeared with a more streetable close rati gearset nv35xx series can be close or wide ratio if true how do i find ou which ratio a used trans has electronics question so engine and trans functions are controlled through the ecm but th pcm is a whole different animal and as long as i can find an ecm from a v8 5spd it wont give cel so i can pass inspection that leaves only two questions am i correct in assuming the ecm does not know if its in a 2wd or 4wd truck wont the ecm have the wrong performance mapping if it isnt from 5.9 magnum i thought the pcm did the whole deal. shows how much i know like i said kinda new to hotrodding computerized vehicles. again thank you very much for your time and effort - joh .

tbone wrote this really has to be just about the dumbest thing to come out of you so far. if a battery is no stronger than its weakest cell then replacing that weak cell would restore the entire battery so why would you not want the ability to do that if all other cells were perfect. odds are thats just not the case. you might buy yourself a little time but not much. lol a bunch of if whats and maybes. in many cases a battery fails because a cell was defective and in the case of these batteries it makes perfect sense to have the ability to replace just one or two cells if needed. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

miles wrote craig c. wrote btw im still waiting on the source stating that gore intentionally chooses to rent gas guzzling lincolns and not hybrids. oh ya i am sure that the oregon airport he rented from only had lincoln town cars available. just picked a bad day to travel im sure. still no source to prove any of your accusations just your word. you sir are a liar. plain and simple. craig c. .
