my 99 ram 2500 has a short its drawing power from somewhere and killing the battery. . i have 220000 miles on the body. do you think the ignition is to blame if not possible solutionsplease help me.! i had a similar problem once it was the cable from the battery to the starter. it looked good but when i cut it in half it was green and junkified tm. the green oxidation over the years had built up resistance in the cable and would drain the battery in a few days. i tried everything else first. if you havent change the cable yet it might be the cause. ok ill bite. how exactly does corrosion inside the cable jacket discharge the battery -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

this has probably taken less than 10 minutes because i am currently on my computer and just answered one of your lame posts a few minutes ago so it really wouldnt take much of a prediction to figure the timing out. 18 minutes. not bad but still late. -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. actually i flat out asked you why it was ok for him to do it but not me and as usual you were unable to answer even simple question and instead tried to spin it into something else. talk about predictable. why would i address garys actions with you predictable has nothing to do with it placing responsibility with the person who is responsible has everything to do with it. well since he started it that would make him responsible so ill ask again why is it ok for him and not me are you going to answer it this time or am i going to get more of this expected spin. then again there is always your deletion method. youve now proven my assertion that you never take personal responsibility for what you do. lol only in maxworld. yeah sorta like only in tbone world where you dont have time to leap on my hell anyones word in an effort to prove yourself superior. you got right on this one. so.... lol think what you want it really doesnt matter. have at it i have a meeting tonight. i expect an answer in no more than 10 minutes and please make it as egotistical as possible while blaming everyone but yourself for your behavior. if i come back and you havent jumped all over it well know the reverse psychology is working. if you have jumped all over it well know your in it just for the bullshit like we said you were. there is nothing to jump on. i blame no one for my behavior but do question why mine is the only one being questioned. actually we both know the answer to that one which does little for you credibility. this has probably taken less than 10 minutes because i am currently on my computer and just answered one of your lame posts a few minutes ago so it really wouldnt take much of a prediction to figure the timing out. as far as reverse psychology in order for that to work i would have to be concerned about what you think of me and i really dont so of course im in this thread now for the bs just like you. thanks for walking right into a catch-22 and have a nice night. lol you thing a lot of yourself but i guess that is the only way for that to happen. tell all of your buddies at aa that i said hi. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

on 24 jun 2005 123616 -0400 snoman uselinktoemail@autoforumz.com wrote sounds like a good dealer that stands behind their work. generally when bearing are worn bad enough to require changing them the gears should be changed because they will likely be worn too. the general feeling of the group at the time was that if the oil was burned and had metal in it that even if the gears looked ok they might have been damaged or softened from the heat.. mac please remove splinters before emailing .

how quick you are to jump the gun not surprising though. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving so - in one scenario youre correct. in two other scenarios garys correct. gotta give the point to gary on this one for being correct in a greater number of cases. wait tbones wrong again is anyone surprised -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. because it has two o2 sensors you dumb fuck one on each bank no it doesnt you dumb fuck. it has 2 sensors but they are pre and post converter not one on each bank. well actually you insert derogatory name of your choice it depends on what engine it has which i dont believe was ever mentioned in this thread - if its a 3.9l 5.2l or a 5.9l light-duty ie. 1500-series then theres one upstream and one downstream. if its a 5.9l heavy-duty-cycle in a 2500 or 3500 or a v10 hdc ie. federal emissions then theres one sensor per cylinder bank both of them pre-cat. if its a mdc v10 ie. ca emissions then theres four sensors - one in each down pipe one pre-cat and one post-cat. so - in one scenario youre correct. in two other scenarios garys correct. gotta give the point to gary on this one for being correct in a greater number of cases. .

jesters1 wrote carb was rebuilt about two months ago. the truck ran fairly well except for the hard cranking occasional sputter. the engine did not sit for any amount of time. another friend said that i may have gotten trash in the jets when i installed the new pump. i blew them out with no change then he said to check the float level. according to my haynes manual the level should be 787 but according to the way i understand the book thats not possible. i did get it close and the truck will run now but not well at all. it has very little power and stalls and backfires under load. any suggestions for setting float level is this indicative of a vacuum leak too jester back firing is always caused by a lean condition. maybe you should have a carb rebuilder clean. they have some real mean cleaners and jet washers. there is a trick that i learned from a junkyard worker. i never believed would work until i tried it. youll need an assistant. find or make a tight fitting cover for the top of the carb. i made mine from the bottom of a motor oil bottle. rev the engine very high like 5000 rpm and while holding the throttle wide open stick the cover on and dont release throttle until the engine dies. the huge vacuum effect can actually suck out trash in the all the little tubes and jets. make sure you use something good and tough. i tried my hands one time it hurts and leaves a big ass hickey on your hands. i tried it on an old rover that i had been screwing with and could not get the fuel right no power under load. i tried this trick as a last resort. there was a huge difference in the way it ran after that. ive done this a couple more time on junkyard cars and it really does work pretty well. clay .

i just completed replacing all four ball joints. thanks to the helpful emails i received. ron i have a 1996 dodge diesel 2500 2wd and i am in the process of changing the ball joints. the truck is jacked up on the frame in my garage and i have the nuts off the upper and lower ball joints. how do i get the spindle or axle or what ever is the correct term for it off i have a jack under the lower arm and when i raise it it also moves the upper arm. does it just take some heavy hitting to break it loose i have the press to remove and replace the ball joints after i get the spindle off. do i use the press to force the spindle off. any help would be appreciated. ron if it aint broke fix it until it is. .

wrong again asshat whats the matter gary still upset over the torque converter an o2 sensor outputs high volts when the difference between inside and outside o2 levels is maximum zero volts when they are the same you are wrong as well asswipe. while you are correct on the response for oxygen content it does not compare the outside to the exhausr stream. it looks at the % content of oxygen in the exhaust stream only. bullshit dickweed the sensor has to have a benchmark to compare the exhaust gas o2 level to here read this oxygen analyzers - principle of operation zirconium oxide sensor the sensor used in meecos oxytek ppb oxygen analyzer is made of the solid state oxygen ion conducting electrolyte material zirconium oxide. due to oxygen vacancies in the ceramic lattice at temperature over 450 degrees centigrade oxygen ions are mobile in the solid material. it is this property that enables the measurement of oxygen in a gas of unknown composition. when two gases of differing oxygen concentrations are on opposite sides of a zirconium oxide membrane each side with a conductive platinum electrode material a dc voltage is generated that is a function of the difference in oxygen concentration. in practice one side of the membrane is a known reference gas typically air and the opposite side is the unknown sample gas to be measured. more at http//www.meeco.com/pages/apop.htm#zirconiumoxide my mistake what i read was talking about the sensor looking for 2% o2 in the exhaust stream and never mentioned needing oxygen on the other side of the sensor element. now i know something i didnt know before. maybe someday you might learn something ah hell who am i kidding. so high volts would mean there is no o2 in the exhaust stream hence it is running very rich already not always. if the senssor is always high or high as in above expected voltages the computer will flag it as a problem which in this case it did and go into open loop mode which just about always results in lower mileage although sometimes in more power as well. bullshit again it will stay in closed loop as long as cts is reading above the ecms programmed level bullshit. the computer flagged a code stating that the o2 sensor is not operating properly and the op also stated that his mileage has gone down and that the engine may be running rich which is also a sign that the engine is remaining in open loop mode. why would the computer depend on a sensor that it knows ihas failed why is it that even when you are right as rare as that is you have to be an asshole to the point of making yourself wrong again because it has two o2 sensors you dumb fuck one on each bank .

lol whats the matter max the problem got you stumped yup because unlike you i dont know everything. i just figured since you know better than everyone else you probably knew this answer too. real mechanics and technicians encounter real problems that need real solutions not bullshit slingers such as yourself..... unless of course you have the answer instead of a notsosmartass question to ask in return. so have you got the answer i asked for or just more running off at the mouth -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. you dont have to have hands on experience with something to understand how it works and i have said many times that i am not an automotive transmission expert but that is exactly what makes this so funny. great. good to know you have all this expertise without hands on experience. now tell me whats wrong with the e250 that wont go into reverse. if you understand it then explain it. lol whats the matter max the problem got you stumped -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

partway through our long roadtrip through the western wilds of scotland my truck 2001 dak started making a new noise and feel. theres a distinct clunk kind of noise which can be felt in the steering wheel. first thing i checked was the power steering fluid which was a bit low so i topped that off. noise is still there. it only seems to happen when the trucks completely warmed up and seems to be triggered by depressing the brake pedal tho it could be the clutch pedal since im generally using them at the same time. at one point there was also a distinct clunkclunkclunk felt in the steering wheel as i accelerated. it would happen in first or second and would only happen once during an acceleration. that hasnt happened since i topped up the fluid but i was still wondering what might be causing that. dunno if its related but the rattle ive reported as being in the back end seems to actually be in the front - realized this when riding as a passenger which i dont do much in my own truck with the window open. from there its clearly coming from somewheres in the vicinity of the right side wheel well. the brakes and suspension were recently checked pronounced good and this made no difference to the rattle. are either of these noises just the kind of general rattle a truck gets to making over time or what should i have a mechanic look at jmc .
