did you ever get this problem fixed i have the same problem in an 89 dodge 4x4 5.9l engine at. it gets worse in the hot weather. mac wrote hi folks ive been dealing with this for a while and im very frustrated. 1992 dodge w150 318 magnum auto trans most of the time when i turn the key nothing happens its just dead. after running the gear selector all the way up and down anywhere from one to ten times and back to park it will start. sometimes i have to do this a few times before it will start. about a week ago the problem went away completely starting every time on the first try. yesterday it came back with a vengeance but i havent been stranded yet. i had the neutral safety switch replaced the ignition cylinder key slot and the starter. each fix seemed to help but only for a couple days maybe placebo effect. im thinking now that maybe the shift linkage is out of adjustment but the manual only states that the truck may start in gear no mention of starting problems. anyone have any thoughts thanks much -mac ps if you wish to email remove whatapain from the address otherwise posting is fine. .

id replace it with a sealed battery...other than a diehard. my guess is that the fluid evaporating is causing your terminals to corrode. as for the slow turnover id check all of your connections for either corrosion or being loose. then proceed from there. a loose connection will cause the cable ends to heat up...which may be the cause of the odor you described. -- laszlo almasi carolina watercraft works inc. dont you hate it when money beats out love carolina watercraft works inc. loballeng@mindspring.com wrote in those wouldnt be diehard batteries by chance would they nope. just went out and looked and it has a cover on it so i cant tell what it is. i know it came from the dealers so whatever the dealer has is what i got. its not a sealed battery as it has 2 caps that ive removed to verify that its now low on fluid. -- regards slick willy 73 cb 450 95 xj 600 03 flstf - parted ways in late july 04 flhrci - entering geezerdom at a mere 32 ... remove the bendover to reply .

those wouldnt be diehard batteries by chance would they -- laszlo almasi carolina watercraft works inc. dont you hate it when money beats out love i have a 99 dakota 3.9 sport with 5 speed trans. 103k on the clock and running pretty good except them ball joints that suck... anyway i have had the batter replaced for free 3 times since purchasing the truck new in january of 99. 1st time was in feb 00 i was up in canada and battery was completely dead when i woke up in the am. called caa and they jumped me and i went to nearest dealership who told me i had a bad battery. they replaced it for free. in december of 02 i had same problem and dealer where i purchased the truck said same think new battery. tech advised me that there was a batch of bad batteries supplied to dealerships in ne and my battery was one of them. no problamo on my end. i get a new battery and it doesnt cost me a penny. forward to late winter 03. battery not dead but doesnt sound too good. takes a couple of turn overs before it will start and sounds like its really straining. i take to dealership and once again they replace the battery telling me that when they run an electronics test on the truck everything is good except the battery. again covered under warranty so no cost to me except the test cost me $30 which wasnt too bad. fast forward to current day. i am still having a problem with starting. the battery always has juice and truck starts every morning but when it starts it sounds like its really straining. ive also noticed that there is some white/blue green fluffy build up on the negative terminal. i clean it up best i can but within a week or so it comes back. a buddy of mine works at a shop and he told me to come on over after hours and he can put clean the battery terminals correctly with some acid solution that will clean the terminals up properly. it takes about 1 month but the build up returns. im stumped and not sure what to do that this point. any ideas as a side note there is a faint burning smell when i start my truck in the extreme cold less than 10 degrees f when i exit the truck. i tent to start my truck and let it run for a few minutes before i leave for work. the smell is not as noticeable when the temps are higher but its still there. thanks to all that reply. ive found lots of good info in this ng. been lurking for over a year but dont recall ever seeing this specific problem. -- regards slick willy 73 cb 450 95 xj 600 99 dakota sport 03 flstf - parted ways in late july 04 flhrci - entering geezerdom at a mere 32 ... remove the bendover to reply .

also posted to alt.autos.dodge my 1997 grand caravan es 3.8l v6 41te/a604 trans 139000 miles gently driven was developing a transmission problem double thump when shifting into od even when just letting off the gas and then resuming gas so i took it to my local dealer for a fluid change and control module diagnosis. it was quiet and drivable otherwise. the receipt from the dealer shows they found worn out/burned trans fluid even though every required service in the manual has been done and it came back with a two failure codes p1798 and p1799 which the service writer said were wear and damage indicators in the transmission itself. in the final diagnosis of the service writer - it needs a rebuild or replacement transmission. since the symptoms themselves seemed minor to me at the time and not thinking i was in desperate need of emergency repairs i wanted to take my time with the decision. so i drove it home and parked it for a week to go on an out-of-state trip. when i needed the caravan the next weekend to tow my lightweight one-bike motorcycle trailer on a short road trip i went out on the morning of the trip to the driveway to turn it around and hitch up the trailer. as soon as it was running and i started moving it made a bunch of new noises - what sounded like quiet cv joint clicks at first which quickly turned into a nasty gnashing clanking and rpm-matching clicks as i rolled into the street in drive. after about 10 yards it had settled into a rhythmic clicking that was sort of like a much softer version of shifting into park while moving. as soon as i could get the thing turned around i got it back into my driveway. so now that its not drivable at all - anyone have any recommendations when it comes to which repair path to take unless someone knows about some simple repair short of a complete transmission overhaul - id certainly like to save some money if possible $4000 worst case scenario - new transmission and control unit and come away with the best high-mileage solution. i have no desire or need to sell anytime soon and feel fairly confident the rest of the caravan will get me to twice the current mileage before i tire of it. my choices as i see them a. keep the original transmission and have the problems repaired at whatever the usual dealer rates are and have only the usual 90 day dealer warranty on the repairs. b. replace the transmission with a remanufactured transmission from dodge and get the factory 3 year warranty on the unit. c. replace the transmission myself with a low mileage used/junkyard procured unit with no warranty. d. to change or not to change the transmission control unit. e. if i can save some money somewhere do some mileage-based maintenance while the transmission is out preemptive cv joint replacement front-end suspension and steering bushings and joints shocks. none of the parts mentioned are worn out completely but feel worn enough that i wouldnt mind the freshening-up. f. some hidden warranty will cover the repairs and i wont have to pay a cent for the repairs grin. anyone with some experience have a moment to help guide me mike g. - .
