Q: mine bombed out at 79800 and started to rattle. i was real lucky that it started making noise when it did or i would have been paying out the big bucks. i brought the truck in for the hood latch recall and asked then to check it for me and they replaced it on the spot. i was surprised and impressed and if i still lived in nj that is where i would be buying my next car. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving writes i get the following trouble code when driving it returns when i clear it out p0132 - o2 sensor circuit high voltage cylinder bank no. 1 sensor no. 1 i also get the error code 21 now i would assume that this means i have a bad o2 sensor but if that is the case would it be the pre-cat sensor or the post-cat sensor when searching online someone said that code could mean a bad catalytic converter. is that also a possibility thanks in advance code 21 is the generic keyswitch flash code while p0132 is the corresponding specific code. 21 is telling you have an o2 sensor problem the p0132 tells you which one pre-cat. if youre the original owner of that 97 ram and have never had the cat replaced under the original federally mandated 8-yr/80000 mile federal emissions warranty then most likely it needs to be replaced in addition to replacing the pre-cat o2 sensor. i honestly believe every catalytic convertor on every single 96 and 97 ram 1500 failed rotted/rusted out usually long before 80k miles but sadly not many owners were aware of the federal 8/80 emissions warranty so most either ate the cost or never replaced them until they had to when the truck failed an emissions test somewhere. mine went at 58k miles and the dealership replaced the cat along with the y-pipe under the emissions warranty. they didnt do the work at the dealership but rather sublet it to an independent muffler shop. .

are you still trying to pass of your stupidity as math........ a percentage is a certain proportion of a particular value. it always relies on 100% as the complete value and 0% as the non-existent value. therefore 200% is twice the complete value. to explain this an alloy may be 25% steel and 75% copper. therefore there is 3 times as much copper as there is steel. if an employee had a 200% increase in salary his salary would be 3 times as big. this is because he would have twice the complete value on top of his original salary. must not be able to find any little old ladies to rip off lately....... truly brilliant in the hypocrisy of it all. jerry whines about me coming just for an argument and then goes off and jumps in one for himself. must be a friggin amusement park. only i dont deny my motives. -- max see his exceedingly brilliant reply where i point out that the ratio between 75% and 25% can be expressed as a percentage............ .
