error code for 97 ram

Q: unless i missed something which is entirely possible he is the origional owner of the vehicle so it is not a used vehicle unless you are indicating now youre twisting like a leaf... i said the lemon laws only applied to new vehicles. you said please point to the definition that claims only a new car can be or become a lemon. i did just that. now you want to spin it around to talk about original vs. second owners. i never said his truck was a used vehicle... my claim this whole time was that his vehicle was too old to qualify under a lemon law. off of the lot and the law would apply to nobody. perhaps you might want to look at the third paragraph where it tlaks about the federal breech of warranty laws that also use the three repair attempt condition. even though the state lemon law might not help him the federal one might. but we werent talking about federal breech of contract laws... we specifically you were discussing lemon laws which are administered by the state and only apply for a limited amount of time to new vehicles in other words to the original owner. i simply gave a suggestion and i dont recall the handbook talking about any federal breach of warranty laws thats because they dont... because theyre not covered under lemon laws - which is what you initially suggested. you didnt even know the difference until you read the page that i linked for you. by the way - how is the restrictions of buyers remorse any more obvious than the limitations on the invocation of a lemon law claim because buyers remorse is what it is well who can argue with that definition.... it is what it is. fascinating... and usually doesnt appear years later but a warranty does last for years and a vehicle can become a lemon despite the industry definition at pretty much any time. wow... to hell with what the laws say... if i think something is so then its gotta be. yeah - you could refer to any vehicle at any point in its lifetime as a lemon - thats just a slang term. but when you start invoking lemon laws thats a specific legal remedy that has very specific restrictions placed on it so regardless of what you think or how you feel a 5-year old vehicle can not qualify for remediation under any states lemon law. period. end of story. .

*not* x-posted to rec.sports.football.college moparman wrote residue build up around and in wires cause resististance. which act like a large capacitor dissipating electricity. we see it all the time in the computer/electronics field. thats one reason we clean the insides of them bastards. you see the same thing happen if you didnt take a shit for about a month. ive been watching this thread mainly because everytime i see the title i think no i have some electric socks but no electrical shorts. as an ee i am amused by the lack of understanding on both sides of this thread of basic electricity. the problem with corrosion in a dc circuit is that the copper oxide has a greater resistance than the copper alloy used in wire. greater dc resistance causes a greater i*r voltage drop. this converts into either a lower voltage available at the load perhaps a relay or lamp that causes it *not* to operate or generates heat which can eventually cause the insulation to melt or burn causing a potential short. unless the awg of the wire is waaaaaay underspecd even a 25% surface area corrosion shouldnt make much difference at dc. it takes a potential difference between two points before current can flow. basic kirchoffs law. resistance never looks like capacitance to a dc circuit. capacitance in series will *open* a circuit. capacitance in a parallel circuit i.e. capacitance between +12vdc and ground will tend to smooth the waveform in state changes eg. turn on/turn offs. it cant cause a short unless it ceases to be a capacitor and becomes a resistor. ok end of rant. it grinds me to say it but i gotta go with tbone this one time. end of electrical shorts and on to more heated seats and swamp butt. .

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 your kidding right -- moparman---remove clothes to reply! --scud coordinates 32.61204 north 96.92993 west-- .

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 .

i see ya achieved another goal i had for you the sexaul deviation remark. sure you did. pretty much like someone saying i knew that would happen after it does lol. sorry did i have to notify you what you would be doing yep because otherwise we all know that you are full of it. really try going back and reading it again. i believe that your little buddy started it off calling me an asshat. i dont care what he calls you really. when why do you care what i call him or anyone else for that matter im amused by your tactics in trying to be right not anyone elses in being right. which is exactly what you and gary are doing. is this another maxworld double standard whats amusing here is that you try to justify being less than polite and that is being polite by saying that someone else did it. so what no i believe that you should treat people as they treat you. i am not justifying what i do by saying someone else does it but i will respond in kind. take a bit of personal responsibility. and this comming from the admitted troll lol. besides my little buddy might be right maybe you are an asshat. you conduct yourself in a reprehensible manner you argue about anything you whine about proof unless confronted with someone who proivides it then you deny the proof. in short you act like a seventh grader who just got caught with his dick hanging out in the locker room while looking over the wall into the girls side. it makes for a good movie script and its just about as musing here. the funny thing is that you have described yourself and gary every bit as much as you think you have described me. while this may be true both you and gary continue to whine and spin even when someone does prove it. lol so you admit it but its ok because you think other people do it. no what i said was that you and gary are worse. talk about not understanding the language. yes lets. see if you meant we were worse you need to include that word in your sentence. i guess comprehension is not a strong point with you. hell you oughta jump off a cliff cause hell other people do it. funny thing is at least five different people proved you wrong in that thread alone but you kept on going. what thread are you talking about now whatever it was lol caught in your own spin. i find it comical that even you dont know what you are talking about. although ill grant that toms kicking your ass pretty well right now kicking my ass or just being an ass. it is sadly getting hard to tell anymore. so he may be in the lead on number of topics but gary has it covered on number of times on one topic. too bad more times than not gary like you has been wrong. sadly you often give answers based on not seeing the problem. as do you! nope. i give possibilities in order to find the solution. semantics. no its a matter of i express an idea of what i think is wrong and allow for other differing views. you otoh seem to think that only your way could be correct. lol only in maxworld yes it is a lever and lifts the engine in an arc which by definition is a circular rotational motion not a straight line. sorry max you still lose. and as for the lift piston it swings in an arc as well as it moves with the boom so once again you are still wrong. damn you make this easy. interesting. all the lift cylinders i have work in a straight line. do you have a curved hydraulic cylinder yes the lift cylinder is a linear device however it is connected to the lift by t w o pivot points. can you figure out why its a bullshit line. i asked a question about a transmission you chose to throw bullshit rather than just answer the question. no you challenged my abilities to answer a question as if only a mechanic can give the right answers on mechanical questions and my response proved that wrong as well. nope i challenged your ability to answer the question at all in a factual and informed manner. you failed to do so. bs! lol yea sure. i bet you have a 100% correct prediction rate on the lottery shortly after seeing the drawing on tv as well - as for stabbing someone in the back what goes around comes around and your little buddy is far from innocent on that level. no see..... the lottery is a random event. you well you are pretty predictable. as in its predictable that you would pass off your actions as being ok because you think someone else does it. youve done it a least three times today. and this is different than what you are doing in what way -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

it comes as a surprise to many that dr. diesel did not start out to invent an engine to run on diesel fuel but run more efficiently on gasoline. after he and several co-workers were injured in a gasoline explosion in his lab he switched to vegetable oil. the diesel engine was commercially introduced at the paris worlds fair in 1900 running on pure peanut oil. as long as you have a supply of used oil youre in the conservation business. when you run out of discarded oil it will cost you about 2500 btus in petroleum fuels to grow and distribute 1000 btus in vegetable fuels. theres nothing new under the sun. we didnt drill our first oil well until we ran out of whales! rick nerdrevenge wrote by blair goldstein www.advance.com june 24 2005 its a simple recipe mix 10 gallons of vegetable oil with 10 gallons of diesel fuel. bobby tabor has been feeding the unusual mixture to his 1987 cream-colored mercedes benz for almost a week. it fuels his car on the 60-mile commute between his home in appomattox and his car technician job at mb euro service on boonsboro road in lynchburg. theres just one problem though - the smell. i dont notice any difference in the power or performance of the car tabor said. you do get an odor out of the tailpipe and it smells just like it does outside of a mcdonalds. its that charcoaled grill odor. mark barker owner of mb euro service said he didnt know about bobs experiment when he pulled into work monday but he smelled the change. when bobby comes to work we all get hungry barker said. we have to make a breakfast run. tabor said he has been talking to his brother who works in the heating and air conditioning business for almost five years about powering a car with vegetable oil. about three weeks ago they started their experiment. they get used vegetable oil for free from friends working at local restaurants. tabor said the free oil is the only way it is economical for him to use vegetable oil in his car. youre looking at spending $20 to $25 a week on fuel instead of $40 to $45 tabor said. you put $20 in your pocket. vegetable oil can only be used as fuel in some diesel engines. however tabor said he did not have to modify his car at all. in fact tabor said his car would run on pure vegetable oil as long as the temperature of the liquid remains above 160 degrees. the high temperature keeps the liquid thin and ensures that the oil will not congeal. tabor said he keeps his fuel thin by diluting the vegetable oil with diesel fuel. while it is unusual for a car to be driving the highway on vegetable oil it is part of a growing product line of biofuels. biofuels are fuels made from recently living organisms such as potatoes sugar cane and wheat. in an effort to encourage the production of alternative fuels congress is considering a bill that would extend tax incentives for the production of biodiesel a fuel made largely from soybeans. the virginia department of environmental quality estimates that there are about 15 biodiesel suppliers in the state that serve the more than 500 commercial fleets nationwide that use biodiesel. environmental and economic concerns top the reasons people are turning to biofuel. while tabor said he thinks about both his curiosity is the primary reason he experiments with vegetable oil. the car that im driving has 451000 miles on it tabor said. it probably rides better than some of the other cars on the road. .

had this happen on my 99 dakota just three months ago. also went to auto zone. bought the part for $26 and put it on. it is right on the tranny facing the ground. if you get under there you will recognize it in seconds. i changed it in about 3 minutes. it just unplugs and you unscrew the old-- you replace with the new. when you unscrew be prepared for some of your tranny fluid to come out...so be ready with the new one fast---you wont lose much. also i would wait until the car cools down b/c you are going to get some on you. the check engine light come on. i went to auto zone and they read the code. they said i need to replace the speed sensor. just where is this sensor ive heard its located on the trans on the rear differential. my trans has also started acting up shift point between first and second doesnt seem right. does this sensor affect the trans .

12/55 diag code is normal. if theres no fuel flow either the electrical circuit is open blown fuse possibly or the pump is bad or the fuel line is blocked mashed or pinched. if you have voltage and ground going to the pump and if the tank is near empty its not too difficult a task to drop the tank and replace the pump & pickup filter. if i went to the trouble of dropping the tank i would replace the pump and pickup filter no matter what condition the original was found to be in whether it fixed the problem or not. nightowl1 jrmairborne@yahoo.com writes the self diagnostic code was 1 2 5 5the fuel pump souds like its workingany other suggestions .

the check engine light come on. i went to auto zone and they read the code. they said i need to replace the speed sensor. just where is this sensor ive heard its located on the trans on the rear differential. my trans has also started acting up shift point between first and second doesnt seem right. does this sensor affect the trans .

just because you hear it doesnt mean that it is working. a bad regulator leak in the pickup leak in the output or a number of other problems could let you hear it run while it actually isnt pumping anything. like another poster suggested i would replace the pump assembly it is about due anyway and work from there. if you hear it then it is getting power so that is not your problem and unless the line is completely crimped shut you should still get pressure when the engine is not running so i doubt that it is either of those problems. did you have it pressure checked -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving the self diagnostic code was 1 2 5 5the fuel pump souds like its workingany other suggestions .

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 nope. it compares the oxygen content of the exhaust to ambient. that is why you never repair the wiring harness to an oxygen sensor. the typical four wire sensor gets its outside air thru the harness. if you taped/sealed/heat shrinked the harness youd ruin the sensor. ask me if i learned this the hard way a bunch of years ago.. i would rather take your word for it than learn this one the hard way. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

still feeling the need to be an asshole huh -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving so high volts would mean there is no o2 in the exhaust stream hence it is running very rich already $10 says he comes back with when i said reads high i was referring to the amount of o2 detected not the voltage it puts out .

fasten the seatbelt bfore you hop in the seat should work! does anyone know how to disable that blasted seat belt alarm that keeps chiming if you take the drivers belt off it is driving me nuts when i just have to go out my driveway to stop at the mailbox. thanks 2005 ram 1500 .

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. and that batting average continues to dwindle. from http//www.mr2.com/text/o2sensor.html an oxygen sensor is a chemical generator. it is constantly making a comparison between the oxygen inside the exhaust manifold and air outside the engine. .

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 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 itdid 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 ............................................ you really dont understand do you i warned you this would happen id kick your ass every time you fucked up take it like a man .

phil rhodes wrote yeah it was howling at me so i took it in and they said 00 to 00 depending on what they find when they take my 98 ram 5.9l 1500 slt laramies limited slip apart. boo hoo! only 89000 miles! phil that is a little steep for one axle. you can get a new gear set for it on line for about $200 or so and the bearing kit for another 70 or 80 bucks. you should beable to get it done for 300 to 500 labor because that is not a hard rear end to work with. i am puzzled by its early faliure though because they are usually sturdy unless it has never been serviced regularly and it has big rubber on it too. as a foot note if you are running oversized rubber now you be the time to regear if it is a 4x4 since you have to fix rear axle anyway and gear prices are about the same on different ratios. -- posted using the http//www.autoforumz.com interface at authors request articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards topic url http//www.autoforumz.com/dodge-rear-end-noise-ftopict125878.html visit topic url to contact author reg. reqd. report abuse http//www.autoforumz.com/eform.phpp=613366 .

i would assume that with a bad o2 sensor it would decrease my mileage any recommendations on the best place to get a replacement tbone wrote if it is the downstream sensor then it could be indicating a bad converter. but bank 1 sensor 1 indicates that it is an upstream o2 sensor and would not be able to indicate the converters condition. -- get a free apple mini mac http//www.freeminimacs.com/r=14466563 .
