get a new truck and you will get 2 always hot and 1 thats not. this is my third ram. on my 96 and 02 the power outlet was hot whether the truck was running or not. i now have a 95. its only hot when the key is on or in the accessory position. has this thing been rewired or is this normal for a 95. ed dowdy fithian il .

seeing as it has been slow around here i figured this might wake it up a bit. seems that the 06 viper is 7 10ths. slower and 9 mph slower than the corvette z06 in the quarter mile. one place the viper did beat the corvette was price. viper cost approx 35k more. if ya want to talk out your ass how about a hi-point 9mm carbine will out shoot your bushmaster......and do it at about 1/5th the price....... denny .

is there an axle vent for a 1995 dodge ram van b1500 rear axle believe to be the chrysler rear not the dana. want to make sure that if there is one that it is not clogged. should be vented through the rear brake distribution block on top of the drivers-side axle tube. the rubber tube that connects to the top of that block is the vent tube. it should have a white plastic breather/filter on the other end which should be clipped up to the frame rail or a crossmember somewhere. .

you may want to check and see if the plennum pan gasket is leaking. there was several tsbs on these trucks for simmular complaints such as rerouting the spark plug wires. but the one i personally had best sucess with was the plennum pan. simple to check just pull the pcv valve out of the valve cover put your finger/thumb over the opening in the valve cover if you feel vacumm in the crankcase then the plennum pan is suspect. at that point its just a matter of pulling the intake and replacing the pan gasket on the bottom of the intake. also you may or may not want to consider a combustion cyl cleaner. mopar has one and if you google this group you can find posts discussing procedure on using and the successes of its use. i have a 1999 dodge 4x4 360 with 133k miles it has alot of valve chatter ..92 octane seems to help some anyone have any thoughts.....tim -- message posted via http//www.carkb.com .

there are two issues here both related to whether you use it as a truck or as a car with a really big trunk. the lt light truck series tires usually have a higher load range than do the passenger series. one would expect the tradeoffs to be higher cost and lower carlike qualities such as handling and noise. if you drive around with a bed full of construction materials or a heavy camper and two weeks worth of hunting and fishing stuff or whatever it might be worth your while to consider gross weight. either series can be had with a variety of tread styles from highway-only to significantly off-roadey. when going on bad roads or none at all you usually want a blockier more open tread that looks like itd dig into mud for traction and fling it out afterwards. such tires also tend to have tougher straighter sidewalls so you dont kill em on sharp rocks and so forth. winter performance if that matters to you can be harder to tell just by looking though if going through deep snow matters to you a blocky tread sure helps this from driving both an s-blazer with mildly suvish passenger tires and a new dakota that still had its oem all-terrains in snow last winter -- it made the difference between a churny squirmy excursion and just another day at the office. check out the ratings in addition to eyeballing them. of course if you deal with serious winter a lot of the time a set of steel rims and some snow tires might be in order. the bottom line on the bottom of your truck yes there is a difference but which way you want to go to engineer is to compromise or specialize depends on what you mean to do. probably most people with pickups and suvs are fine with a tire in the passenger series and the highway style -- but there are also numerous exceptions and if youre one of the exceptions you wouldnt want to get stuck in more than one sense of the word with a badly wrong tire. cheers --joe .
