Q: could do any one of those -- 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. i bought my 99 ram new. after warranty expired 1. rwal sensor went bad would a bad rwal sensor cause the following symptoms 1 brake indicator lit on the dash. 2 abs indicator lit on the dash. 3 cruise control cuts out occasionally twice in about 100 miles this morning 4 speedometer operates normally. 5 brakes appear to be operating normally - i havent had the opportunity to try any panic stops. i checked the abs fuse visual and it doesnt appear to be blown. i dont want to go buy a meter if i dont have to. thanks greg .

denny wrote im just curious are there any other waste of time energy and money maintenance items that you dont believe in doing you do not take apart and or clean a carb or tbi unit because someone tells you it is dirty when the vehical runs fine. btw 99% of the time they might get dirty on outside but it has no effect of operation cleaning a tbi unit is not a normal maintance item that must be done like oil changes and such. i have seen a lot of people get screwed by mechs that tell that something is wrong that cost $$$$ to fix and puts money in mechs pocket too. i have seen this scam before you chastise me because i want him to save his money and his time and spend it on more worthwhile endevors. how about if you or someone else in this thread pay to get it done for him if you guys think he needs it so bad -- 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-throttle-body-cleaning-ftopict128090.html visit topic url to contact author reg. reqd. report abuse http//www.autoforumz.com/eform.phpp=625271 .

jeez i guess you think hes stretching the truth a bit too watch it youll be a fucking twit along with me. lol you call me that all of the time. never called you that. a least not in writing on here. -- 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. i doubt that you are trying to post lies but some of that crap is really a stretch to think that it happens all that often. with what you described as your problems i can see why you would be bitter about both the vehicle and the make and buy into the worst possible descriptions but my last two dc vehicles were and are just fine. not problem free but no worse than any other make. jeez i guess you think hes stretching the truth a bit too watch it youll be a fucking twit along with me. lol you call me that all of the time. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

the ecm programming most likely valve bodys are identical someone at mopar to get off their ass figure out the new strategy then get epa approval for the programming never happen if the 04.5 48re and the 05 48re are mechanically the same what parts would i need to buy to make them perform the same specifically what makes the 05 act differently than the 04.5 -- nathan w. collier http//inlinediesel.com http//7slotgrille.com http//utilityoffroad.com .

actually maxi it is you that chooses not to address the issue. many of the problems should not have happened at all or at least not in the fairly short time frame that they did. it seems that you blame everything on the owner and you dont know the whole story either. back to that double standard once again i see. no double standard about it. mechanical things have problems whether it be in a timely manner or not. the issue is whether or not the manufacturer deals with those problems in a timely and correct manner. according to the op the dealer did address his issues while the truck was under warranty. the issue is dcs customer service not how the paint peeled. wrong. it should not have peeled this early in the trucks life. correct but the issue is still the service rendered not the problem. when you build a million of something there will be problems of some sort within that million. thus its not about whether or not there is a problem but how that problem is addressed. hard to find fault with anyone if the facts arent presented. but one fact was presented dc fixed the problem. dc 1 justme 0 no the dealer fixed it dc screwed it up. dc 0 dealer 1 the dealer is dcs warranty representative. if the dealer scored on a warranty problem so did dc. random failures are usually caused by reduced quality controls that were corrected by the dealer. dc 0 dealer 2 dealer acts as representitive of dc dc retains lead. sorry it does mean they actually looked at it because part of prepping a new vehicle is looking at the underside for damage caused in transit including linkage. once again you are talking out of your ass. when i got my truck it had a large patch of paint worn thru on the roof where a chain from the car carrier got it and they didnt catch it. so did mine. but unless i miss my guess the roof is on top of the truck and not on the underside. regardless both trucks should have had the roof looked at for paint problems as it is part of the dealer prep process. as such it was broken after being sold. so the owner broke it and dc replaced it. dc 3 justme 0 back to spin once again. while it did break after being sold that is not the same thing as the owner breaking it. btw you still didnt expalin how the owner could have done it other than just trying to make it perform its function iow it was defective. dc 0 dealer 3 dealer acts as dc representitive dc retains score. lol feel free to hide behind the legal definition of a lemon. lets just say that the dealer probably knew that this particular vehicle was going to have a lot of problems. i assume then that the dealer had a crystal ball and looked up this trucks vin to find that out how could a dealer know that it would have multiple problems particularly when the problems are all unrelated except for owner handling a y pipe is very hard to get to rust out due to heat. further its pretty tough to hit the ground with it. so if it failed its probably from some sort of activity with the truck that is above and beyond the normal scope of operation and design. or it could simply be a sub-standard part not up to what was required of it pretty much like the shift linkage. like you said both of these components are hard to abuse so if they failed it is more likely due to substandard components. dc -1 yeah everything that goes wrong on a vehicle is a substandard part as far as you are concerned. however if it were actually true that all parts were substandard all of these trucks would be falling apart and thats just not true. btw im still waiting for you to prove that just one of these things youve called substandard is in fact substandard. the proof is simple there is no other valid reason for this type of failure unless you know of some magical way to abuse a cc unit. lol electronic parts fail at any interval this is why electronic parts bought at a parts store are non returnable. your proof is lacking. yep fluid levels are fine. are you saying that it is normal for a vehicle to leave a puddle of fluid on the ground oh wait a minute you did say 60-100k. i guess that you are referring to leakage due to worn seals and even then you are talking about wetnesss on the components not puddles on the ground.. yup. which is why i asked what the ops definition of leaking was and suggested that it might be normal. that does not relieve them from their responsibility to install quality components even aftermarket on an expensive vehicle. dc -2 wrong. they advertise by name those componants and the standard is buyer beware. why is everything he has a user problem because if he didnt use it it wouldnt fail it would be brand new. duh. no it would be unused not new and still defective. duh! you are assuming that it was broken when new and that was never mentioned. therefore i made the safe assumption and figured it ha

it could be a bad battery but that problem would not correct itself just by removing and reconnecting connections. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving on sat 09 jul 2005 014038 gmt tbone t-bonenospam@nc.rr.com wrote it sounds exactly like a bad connection causing your problems. could be a bad battery also. mine was doing similar till i changed the battery a failure of 2 cells engine still cranks and runs on most vehicles can cause a computer problem. on saturns automatic transmissions will not shift. thank you tbone. i -- .

normal. sweet it caught me by surprise when it shifted into overdrive. in 05 what about the 04.5 the tow/haul mode changes the way the transmission shifts keeps the t/c locked longer extends gear ranges and will downshift to assist in braking but o/d is not locked out. i also noticed the downshifting. good job dodge! -- nathan w. collier http//inlinediesel.com http//7slotgrille.com http//utilityoffroad.com .
