Lifter Question

From : dmso

Q: in my 97 ram when i had it i just found under the dash and removed the buzzer/chime module. i want to be able to play music while the doors are open and the key in the igninion on accessory. past autos had a button switch that could be forced closed one way or another while door was open. i assume there is a hidded switch/sensor somewhere. how do i over-ride it. .

coasty wrote i was watching a motor show and they said more than likely dodge will be dropping the cummins engine from the dodge truck line in favor of a mercedes diesel sometime around 2010 after the cummins contract expires. coast i herd a few years ago that they were dropping cummins. they said mercedes diesel would replace it but i also herd that cat was developing a diesel for the dodge. if cat diesel would replace them i think dodge would sell pretty good. it really doesnt make any sense to me why dc would drop cummins for cat instead of just using their own engines unless cat is offering one hell of a deal that even mercedes cant beat. cummins has already proven itself in the ram and while i can see a significant cost savings dropping a mercedes diesel in it after the contract expires i really dont see how cat could beat cummins price by enough to risk the loss in sales by switching away from cummins. im not so sure that there would be much of a risk. cat make on hell of an engine. it equals cummins in my experience. the risk is not in the quality of the engine but in the buyers perception. unless you are into big rigs or industrial equipment you are not going to know much about cat. i am also unaware of cat currently building anything that could be dropped into a small pickup and if i am unaware of it there is a good bet that many others are also unaware as well. this leads to people assuming that cat will need to build a new motor and deal with all of the fun that happens with that iow loss of sales. cummins has been in dodge trucks for a while now and have built up a reputation as building a rock solid small truck motor that will easily outlast the rest of the truck and in many cases is the reason why people bought the dodge at all. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .
