it is called hot wireing. very handy if you want to steal a car. well sort of the ignition switch was turned on so everything else was hot. all we had to do was activate the starter by jumping the starter relay terminals. it would take a little more but not much to start it up just from the engine compartment... but we wont go into that here .

and after all that... it could just be corrosion on a battery terminal or ground terminal. if that were the case then shorting the solenoid would not work either although there could be corosion on the solenoid terminal. i didnt think of that good call max. not necessarily. ive personally seen a ram that would not start with the ignition switch but would start by jumpering the starter relay terminals. it was a bad engine ground causing this. how is that possible -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving it is called hot wireing. very handy if you want to steal a car. jumping the starter relay terminals is far from hot wiring as that does nothing for the ignition fuel injection and other related components that will still need power. it actually looks like that vehicle had two problems. the first one was the bad engine ground and the other is a failing pitted starter relay and when combined together caused a voltage drop sufficient enough to prevent the solenoid from engaging. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

lets see 1 i plan on driving it till the wheels fall off which im putting oversized wheels and tires on it which is why i aked the question in the first place. also its not breaking the law. it is breaking the law if you sign an odometer statement stating that it is the actual mileage when you sell it. do you really think that we are this stupid if that were the case you would be asking how to re-calibrate it not disable it. btw a numbered list usually indicates that there is more than one reason even if they are bs. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

well ive got a 2002 2500 ram diesel and enjoy the manual trans on it... very easy to shit and smooth... mike i have a 97 ram 1500 4x4 with a 5-speed manual and have been very happy with it. nice smooth shifting transmission. we are considering ordering a new 2500 4x4 and as i am still partial to a manual trans i would probably bypass the automatic. use includes towing the horse trailer and plowing our long driveway which is real hard on the 1500. of course we have not been able to find a new 2500 with manual trans anywhere in new england to test drive. does anyone have experience with the nv-4500 manual transmission as the wife will also be a driver a smooth shifting trans would sure be nice. i would appreciate hearing from anyone with experience. also is the 5-speed automatic good enough so that i should consider setting aside my manual trams bias in the past dodge did not have a good reputation for reliability in the automatics. one other small but very important item the cup holders. my 97 has what i consider an optimum design with the cup holders high above the shift leaver. the 2004 slt automatic that we test drove had the cup holders low right where a manual shift leaver would be and there is no provision in the dash design for a high mount. so what is the situation with a manual trans thanks btw it is a nice minus 9 degrees with minus 30 wind chill here in central nh at 830 am. .
