Q: met a guy yesterday who took my suzuki 750 motor that he bought from me. he is a truck driver and an all around nice guy. i gave him a ride from his semi to my house and back and he told me that my u-joint in my 1999 dodge ram is going bad. he claims that he heard it when i was accalerating or switching into reverse. i could not tell much but figure that he had no reason to lie to me. my questions are 1 just what exactly should i look for to see if the u joint is bad and 2 how hard is it to diy replace it. thanks i .

.... the part that fails is the slide area that looks like a reostat. cant be fixed is what i was told has to be replaced. hard part is dropping the tank to get it out not changing it. in your case i would wait a while. could just have gotten stuck. mine started giving intermittant bad readings frank my 2c worth i had the same problem with my old fairlane -- i took it out in the spring and found the gas guage not funtioning piece in gas tank possibly had frozen down and broken off but after a bit of driving around and the pot holes in downtown hull qc it started working i agree -- wait until warm weather -- take the gas tank off later give the tank sender and contacts a good clean you may as well coat and paint the tank while you are at it then troubleshoot. in the meantime use the odometer to tell you when the tank needs topping up and keep it over half full i am lucky -- my 86 ram has fuel pump under the hood easily installed laying underneath and cost less than $50 cdn. if i were looking at $180 for a fuel pump i know an electric fuel pump is only $100 cdn brand new fits up front is easy to install great for trouble-shooting etc. so i might look into whether to replace the fuel pump with that if it is the culprit best of luck rach .
