typical 4.7 mileage?
From : nathan w collier
Q: you might as well just buy the hemi 5.7 im only getting an average of 12 mpg with that. i have a k&n cold air kit and a gibson extreme dual exhaust on it. mine is the 04 ram 1500 quadcab. i burn irving regular gas up here in nh. first tank of fuel through the 4.7 liter durango averaged 13mpg. im wondering how this compares to comparable vehicles. thanks -- nathan in montana http//concealedcarryforum.com http//1911talk.com http//glockcarry.com http//hipowertalk.com http//p99sw99.com http//ppstalk.com http//p7talk.com .

hi tom thank you for taking the time to write. all the sources ive found including my owners manual says you can program the fob yourself if you have an operational remote. i bought my truck used with 6000 miles back in december 1999 and it came with only one remote. and i lost it mowing my yard.... stupid me... ive ordered a new actually used remote off of e-bay and it also states in their ad that you can program it yourself....again if you have an operational remote. i figure ill save about 50% by doing it this way....ill still have to have dodge program it though.... thank you again! dave tom r wrote excellent! thanks chris! and of course thanks again nosey! dave christopher thompson wrote on mon 12 nov 2007 185740 +0000 dave young wrote that looks just like it. looking at ebay i found the the same fob with the same numbers but with the suffixs of aa ab and ac. darned confusing. thank you very much!!!!! dave i dont have the factory alarm but it should be the same fob. look what i found http//stores.channeladvisor.com/ubid2winit-keyless-remotes/items/c16 most of the time the aa ab ac ad doesnt really mean much most likely aa was superseded by ab for some reason the ab by ac and ac by ad....they all should work. not saying that true for all of crystlers part numbers but in my experience its true most of the time. dave i bought a fob for my dakota on ebay last year it came with instructions on how to program it and i didnt have to take it to a dealer. i cant remember all the steps but the site chris pointed you toward says they will email instructions. hth tom .

when it warms up and i take my foot off the gas it dies and i resart it but unless i have my foot on the gas it just dies ed m. wrote i have a 97 dodge ram 1500 when i turn it on when its cold it idles fine but when it warms up it quoted text clipped - 6 lines but thats not what it is. please help liz there isnt a lot you can do except take it in to a shop and find what the error code is from the computer. the idle process from cold to warm is controlled by many different sensors but usually is not an extremely expensive fix. the description you give is a bit vague too. what exactly does the engine do when it warms up does it just die does it idle rough ed -- message posted via carkb.com http//www.carkb.com/uwe/forums.aspx/dodge-truck/200711/1 .

it was a trick with ultrasonics. there had been rumors of ultrasonic carburetors in gm for several years the so-called 30 mpg box and it was supposed to be wired with transducers and such. of course the guy i ran into who claimed to really have one until the first service on his new 74 impala could have just been describing an early test q-jet with the electronics plugged in. he claimed he got around 20 mpg with his impala and then 13 when it was gone. i positioned an ultrasonic transducer above the barrels and pumped in a 40khz signal. i really didnt have anything to base it on and was just trial and error. the transducers i had were surplus electronics items and were not designed for the heat gas or anything so they failed after about a week. i went through 4 of them. the idea was that ultrasonics let the gas and air atomize better and that would improve fuel economy. it appears that it did. with more time money and equipment it might have been a good deal positioning them under the carb in the intake or maybe above and below but i didnt have the resources to do all that. i never had the chance to really tune for mileage as by the time i ran enough miles and gas they had failed. if i had transducers that could have lasted i could have tried turning the carb for the ultrasonics and seen if they actually since them the efi tbi and tpi all have created much better atomization than carbs did so it is academic today. if it improved over the fuel injection it might only be 1 mpg or so and that isnt really worth the effort. on wed 31 oct 2007 015349 -0400 tom in missouri toomuch@spam.com puked there are a lot of scams and a lot of snake oil out there but one thing i did try years ago did actually work. unfortunately the parts i used were not designed for such use or in the environment i was using them and so after a few days they failed. but during that time gas on the test car my daily commuter which was going about 80 miles per day went from 22-23 to 25. i had only gotten 25 a couple of times before - long flat non-stop highway trips at 55-60 mph. this was tested in mostly city driving. however since it involved helping things atomize quicker/better and the efi/tbi/tpi all does that just as well today there isnt any point in me trying to build one again. the suspense is killing me... so occasionally you do find some of these that do work. you just want to not get too involved in expense looking for them or you could buy more gas than you will ever save. steve wrote with the cost of crude oil hitting $90 a barrel this is something you cant pass up! this is not a scam and can save you real money. a quick down and dirty of how this works magnets on the fuel line or the turbonator behind the air cleaner lololololol -- labrat - stupid humans... .
