Starmotor problem ??
From : mattias
Q: not yet with extra battery connected it was still very weak and could not turn the motor. where is the startmotor located sqdancerlynn sqdancerlynn1@verizon.net skrev i meddelandet could be lots of things starter ign switch start relay have you applied 12v direct to starter to see if the starter works .

jackvt80 wrote back in april i posted about a torque converter lock-up problem that i was experiencing on my 2000 cummins 2500. since that time every time i drove the truck at about 45 mph the torque converter would jump in and out of lock-up. i had that problem with a 2001 ram. i rarely could drive it on the freeway even flat ground not towing and the tc would constantly lock/unlock. the dealer replaced the tps which did not help. they had no idea what to do and dcx was of no help in the matter. i finally talked to a dodge transmission specialist. he said he solved that problem long ago. i do not know exactly what he did but it involved alternator noise causing the tc to lock/unlock. he rerouted wires and added a filter. problem was solved. i have no idea why dcx could never solve the problem. .

you guys are complicating the issue if the motor is lacking power the accelerator pedal will have to be depressed further to get the expected performance; this will result in the throttle valve cable being extended farther than normal for a given road speed and this results in delayed upshifts. precisely john but... the op doesnt mention any engine problems. what we do have is the op saying that the shift problem happens at some points but not others. hi all98 ram 15005.9 4x4 quad cab.90715 miles. for the past weekit has started shifting later than it used toand a couple of times wouldnt shift out of first unless i let off the gasthen it shifted with up through the gears. when this happenedi just got off the freewaypulling away from a stop sign. it hanging on longer to shift.any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated. thanks. the only thing that would have a definite sudden symptom is a sensor. all else would come on gradually. -- 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 when a engine is out of tune it will have a higher manifold pressure lower vacum at a given speed than one that is in good tune so the shift will delay or hang whether it is a dodge chevy or ford. more false info. vacuum is a factor of rpm vs throttle position. state of tune is irrelevant unless mechanical problems are present in the valvetrain. you guys are complicating the issue if the motor is lacking power the accelerator pedal will have to be depressed further to get the expected performance; this will result in the throttle valve cable being extended farther than normal for a given road speed and this results in delayed upshifts. .

not really road speed and engine load and load is primarily used and it is calculated by rpm and manifold pressure as this is a measure on engine output against speed/load throttle position play a roll but only realeted to the resulting manifold pressure um no. according to the 2000 fsm inputs to the governor control come from fluid temp tps speed sensor gov pressure sensor pcm gov pressure solenoid valve notice that this list has no map sensor or tach signal. when a engine is out of tune it will have a higher manifold pressure lower vacum at a given speed than one that is in good tune so the shift will delay or hang whether it is a dodge chevy or ford. more false info. vacuum is a factor of rpm vs throttle position. state of tune is irrelevant unless mechanical problems are present in the valvetrain. and as mentioned earier if it has oversized tires this increases the effort required by a untuned engine as well as a tuned one and it can change shift points as well. correct but the state of tune would have to be drastically degraded to have a change in shift point no something that generally happens overnight. -- 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 mon 14 aug 2006 214016 gmt max dodge max340@verizon.net wrote shift points are determined by more than just engine performance. many inputs are taken by the pcm and used to determine transmission shift points. not really road speed and engine load and load is primarily used and it is calculated by rpm and manifold pressure as this is a measure on engine output against speed/load throttle position play a roll but only realeted to the resulting manifold pressure when a engine is out of tune it will have a higher manifold pressure lower vacum at a given speed than one that is in good tune so the shift will delay or hang whether it is a dodge chevy or ford. and as mentioned earier if it has oversized tires this increases the effort required by a untuned engine as well as a tuned one and it can change shift points as well. ----------------- thesnoman.com .

i know you all have an opinion on most things having been on the fringe of this group for years not one of the regulars. so i need some advice. i just bought an 03 3500 diesel. am radio comes in like crap. checked the antenna connection took the radio out its one of the stock ones that displays the station and what is playing it all looks ok but i can not listen to wabc in the ny metro area which came in fine in my durango and my wifes 300. so any suggestions or ball breaking thanks andy get a new radio. my own and i have heard from some others that this is a common occurance. -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

on mon 14 aug 2006 173523 -0500 geekboy nerdynerd@geekboits.com wrote the supply of oil is not limited. according to data it should be at $29 a barrel looking at historical prices to supply history. where are you at mars it is very limited and world demand will exceed world production in the next year or so and then prices will really climb.it is predicted by some very smart people that we will see $100/barrel or more by end of 2007 it is a real pipe dream to think otherwise. in the us alone we use the equivlent of 125000 semi tanker truck loads a day and growing and on the global level it is about 500000 truck loads a day. you honestly beleive this is limitless bizzare. btw we consume little over 25% of the worlds oil and have only 5% of population and our thristy is going to choke use one day because they only way the public will consever is when it gets to costly to buy it. just since 2001 or lust for big iron and other energy needs has increase our oil consumption from about 20 million barrels a day to almost 25 million and growing and we not make less that 40% of what we use and it is driopping too. by 2020 the dept of energy predict that we will produce only about 20% of the oil we need. the writing is on the wall but many choose to ignore it. when gas hits 4 to 5 bucks a gallon those 40k suvs will not be worth squat. choose wisely because you might get stuck with it in a few years. ----------------- thesnoman.com .

shift point are linked to engine performance manifold pressure and if engine is lagging a bit it will delay shifts. shift points are determined by more than just engine performance. many inputs are taken by the pcm and used to determine transmission shift points. maybe you should start with a fresh tuneup and oil change and if that fails try better fuel higher octane in hot weather. a tune up might help but not likely. an oil change will do nothing for the shift points. better fuel wont change shift points. also if you have oversized tires this throughs things of too which many do not realize. oversize tires wont make a difference from one day to the next unless its the day you install or remove them. first step would be to check the pcm for codes. since its a 98 youll need to have it scanned for these codes. second might be to change filter and fluid in the trans and put a new set of solenoids for the governor pressure sensor and transducer. -- 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 mon 14 aug 2006 085527 -0500 elowejr@webtv.net e lowejr wrote hi all98 ram 15005.9 4x4 quad cab.90715 miles. for the past weekit has started shifting later than it used toand a couple of times wouldnt shift out of first unless i let off the gasthen it shifted with up through the gears. when this happenedi just got off the freewaypulling away from a stop sign. it hanging on longer to shift.any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated. thanks. elowejr@webtv.net shift point are linked to engine performance manifold pressure and if engine is lagging a bit it will delay shifts. maybe you should start with a fresh tuneup and oil change and if that fails try better fuel higher octane in hot weather. also if you have oversized tires this throughs things of too which many do not realize. ----------------- thesnoman.com .
