Q: the lights that illuminate are the ones controlled by the computer as well as any critical warning lights and the 4wd light does not fit either category. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving tom lawrence wrote run diagnostics on the unit with the key on-key off 3 times routine and see if the bulb lights up when all of the dash lights come on. i dont know if the 96 had a cluster test. on the newer vehicles 98 and up you would initiate this by holding down the trip odometer reset button while turning the ignition on then releasing when it all lit up. since the 94-97 trucks have a mechanical odometer i doubt this would work. my 4x4 dash indicator works when i lock the transfer case on my 99 but the cluster test doesnt light it up and it doesnt come on during the startup bulb check. maybe a glitch in the programming -- ken .

ckbrew@adelphia.net wrote please help- i have a 2000 dodge ram 2500. i need to replace the power window motor. the chiltons manual i have says not to remove the motor from the regulator because it is spring loaded and may cause injury if removed. napa sells only the motor not a motor/regulator combination. this leads me to believe that there must be a way to replace only the motor. is ther a safe way to replace the motor with out the regulator flying apart in my face thank you. mark. wear safety glasses and leather work gloves and take it apart carefully. or use something to hold it in like a vise be gentle generally the most important thing is not so much injury to you but loss of parts if you are not careful... they go flying across the room never to be found again p .

buying a whole truck just for the engine is like marrying a fat ugly chick cuz shes got nice eyes. g buying a whole truck just because it has a bowtie on it is sorta like marrying a chick because she has a nice dress. generally those are the ones with some sort of.... padding.... to the actual package buying a truck based on name alone is sorta like marrying a chick because she has a good name. generally those are the ones that are insane but ya put up with them because the family is cool. chevys record in styling sucks the 07s finally look.... good ok maybe not.... the diesel is a joke regardless of hp if its got aluminum heads its gonna need head gasket attention because of its high revving design among other things. suspension has always been geared towards being a large caddy rather than a truck. fords psd has turned into the piece of shit diesel the styling is... well... better than chevy and the suspension has long been the stuff of nightmares for alignment guys. they all seem to have the transmissions sorted out finally. but lets face facts..... if you want a truck not a work vehicle with overstuffed chair from the home theatre suspension ya go with a ford or a dodge. if ya want an engine with a proven track record b series has been around for over 30 years proven longevity testing puts it at well over 300000 for all varients of the b series and better overall design inline six vs v8 is no contest and one that has a decent name behind it cummins dodge is the only game in town. beyond that its what you are willing to put up with in terms of interior. my 00 has perfect seats. in the end thats what counts as much as anything.... because if the drivetrain will take me anywhere i better be able to sit long enough to get there. -- max join www.devilbrad.com and find out what free exchange of info is all about. there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author on fri 29 sep 2006 082215 -0700 mac davis mac@bajadavis.com wrote snip i know that when we were looking for a 3/4 td a few years ago dodge and ford were so close in price etc. that it was a real pickum between the 250s comfort and the dodges ctd... both retailed at just under 40k fully loaded i think.. sorry i didnt even consider chevys durasmoke... too many horror stories.. mac funny thats exactly what i said about dodge when i bought my chevy three years ago. i had one warranty issue in the first 500 miles and a seat motor problem at 15k otherwise perfect... buying a whole truck just for the engine is like marrying a fat ugly chick cuz shes got nice eyes. g dj .

after more thought it just hit me about your posts . . . . if the bible says anything negative about other religions although it actually ignores them except for the altar to the unknown god paul writes about then you accuse me of preaching . . .yet if you say anything negative about my beliefs you claim is discussion. what are you talking about budd what have i said that is negative about your beliefs another t-boneism. this time the denial part. how far back do you want to go tom you have derided me and my beliefs for a few years now. all my posts back as far as the archives retain still are there and still contain your statements. ill make it easy for you budd you only need to go back to the last time i attacked your beliefs. what i said was the same thing that greg has said not to long ago and that is that you like to talk the talk but you never seem to walk the walk at least not in here. when you start acting like you claim to believe then i would have nothing to comment on about you. yep thats t-boneism thru and thru. once again more baseless accusations. once more a t-boneism. and once more another baseless accusation based on spin and lies. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

true when people dont bother to reduce the intake restrictions the infamous silencer for example on some diesels or improve the exhaust systems. improve those and you can see an improvement in economy. this is one thing id really like to take the epa to task over since there are many little tricks that do improve economy of an engine and the performance considerably but may not be as ecologically horrid as the epa claims. water injection is one item for example on gasoline engines that improves performance reduces octane requirement and reduces oxides of nitrogen. -- budd cochran john 316-17 ephesians 28-9 romans 323 623 our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. it is wholly inadequate for the government of any other. john adams the edge fattens up edge adds more fuel to a diesel. roy wrote what does that mean what does what mean when i rebuilt the 318 in my old d-150 it had been getting a consistent 14.5 mpg on the highway and about 11 mpg around town. quoted text clipped - 12 lines roy -- message posted via carkb.com http//www.carkb.com/uwe/forums.aspx/dodge-truck/200609/1 -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

i dont know if the 96 had a cluster test. on the newer vehicles 98 and up you would initiate this by holding down the trip odometer reset button while turning the ignition on then releasing when it all lit up. since the 94-97 trucks have a mechanical odometer i doubt this would work. my 4x4 dash indicator works when i lock the transfer case on my 99 but the cluster test doesnt light it up and it doesnt come on during the startup bulb check. maybe a glitch in the programming the lights that illuminate are the ones controlled by the computer as well as any critical warning lights and the 4wd light does not fit either category. that makes sense. it just seems odd that every light on the dash can be tested except that one. -- ken .
