we would need more information. do you have a link to this reader -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving hi ive posted a problem here about my ram2500 that the dealer screwed up. any way i went out and bought a astray code reader very good one helped me fix my 98 diesel jetta. come to find out that dodge did not release info to allow use diy to scan our trucks. is there a reader you can use on this truck. i checked with the manual and it tells me i can get the codes by turning the ignition key on and off several times. im still try to read the blinking engine light.. i found a reader on ebay that says it can read the codes on diesel rams this age. it plugs into the cigarette lighter. any input on this one thanks; dave .

budd cochran wrote tom im just giving the viewpoint of why it can get out of hand easily. where do you stop calling abortion and begin calling murder this is why the nation is split on the abortion issue. some people call a zygote or gametes a person and therefore an abortion would be murder. others do not view it that way. it is a very personal viewpoint that neither side will ever get the other to understand. therefore i dont try to convince someone else of my viewpoint nor do i tell them that their viewpoint is wrong and needs to be changed. but i do get upset at others who insist that i change mine because they feel its wrong. .

hi howie if its a point-type distributor set the points at 0.015 to 0.016 or 30-35 degrees dwell the more dwell the better. you may need to go as close as 0.014 to get the dwell right. if its electronic ignition the dwell is permanently set at 38 degrees. since its a motorhome set your initial timing at 10-12 degrees before top dead center. the extra ignition lead will give you better starting and easier acceleration. i suggest at least 89 octane fuel. the vacuum advance line goes to a ported vacuum nipple on the right side of the carb holley and carter 2 - barrels about 2/3 of the way up from the bottom. btw you need to block this port when setting your timing as it can affect the advance mechanism. set your idle rpm in drive and warmed up engine to about 650-675 rpm and the cold idle to about 1000-1200. -- budd i have a 1972 motor home built on a d300 chasis. i had to change the distributor and my manual says for timing and dwell to use the info from the engine decal. naturally the decal is long gone if it ever existed. also the vacuum advance hose should it go to the carb fitting below the throttle plate can someone help on the dwell and timing the engine is a 318 with 2 barrel carb and automatic transmission. .

really mine grinds unless i am at a complete stop. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving if you for some reason want 4lo then the vehicle must be stopped and probably in neutral or park before shifting it into 4lo. if its an automatic it should be in drive creeping along at 2-3mph. if its a stick it should be rolling at the same 2-3mph with the clutch depressed. shift from 2wd through neutral into 4lo. dont stop in neutral - make it one smooth motion. ditto for coming back from 4lo to 2wd or 4hi. .

it is beyond my understanding as well but the liberal platform appears to be full of contradictions imho. -- budd i agree with you 100% here but the problem and fear is that is will not stop there. but you cannot justify this unparalleled savagry for fear of further legislation. nothing you or anyone else can ever say will justify partial birth abortion to me. it is the most barbaric practice ive ever heard of and its being done on children tom. you cannot compare the murder of an innocent baby to the execution of a convicted killer getting his just deserve. ironically to your view i find it disturbing that liberals want to protect the lives of convicted killers while protecting the mothers right to kill her unborn child. protect murderers kill children scratching head. there is a time when death is appropriate and when its not. how liberals could get it exactly backwards is beyond my scope of reason. how can anyone suck the brains out of an unborn child until its skull collapses .
