stormin mormon wrote hmm. are you suggesting that i take the carb apart and have it rebuilt yes it wasnt too much for the rebuild kit and only took a few hours. just follow the instructions. of course i took it apart before i had them and that was a mistake. get kit read instructions and then take apart. ken .

yes 312 cid. believe it or not. i just replaced whole spark plugs distribution cap rotor and wirings all bosch bosch 4 split spark plugs. and distribution coil. it works really great. dude probably beat the crap out of his dakota besides its a sport performance truck of his so it eats gas unlike mine. i bought a great truck for cheap. it just needed new tranny and new 4x4 shocks tune up i spend 5 grand on new parts and done it myself. got truck for 4 grand with 48k miles. its now 70k miles. no problem since i fixed it. go go dodge ram fans larry crites wrote 312 larry behold beware believe my truck is 5.2 liter v8 auto with 312 cid 1996 ram with 70k miles on it and it drives 15 miles per gallon and i cant argue with that. i feel my truck is great on gas. it takes about 280 to 310 miles on full tank. -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

im looking for a completely lift kit 3.5 inches front 3 inches rear since my truck is 1996 dodge ram 5.2l with 312 cid 8 cylinders. its a plow truck so front is one inches lower than rear. i just put all new suspension on it so i can have better ride when driving with plow. dont know my axle ratio yet just got the truck and fixed little up had 4x4 worked on new tranny altogether was 4 grand. i m looking to spend 3 grand in spring time on this truck. its easy to lift it up want two shocks in front with enlongated steering stabilizers better control arm and pitman arm my steering gear is getting wornt out so add other 300. i dont think it ll need new drive shaft after lifting it up 3 inches more. i also want 34 inches by 13 maybe 14 if permit this is why i asked about the axle from 2500 or 3500 on my 1500 i want make it look wicked mean. it would be nice if i had ten grand budget then i would go for 4 bore carb turn it into 5.9 liter with chrome headers chrome manifold chrome cat conventor chrome muffler. along with what i said above. my rear differentals r defitinely single wheel differental. right side but left side seems to lock on with right side when it comes to reversing or towing. its getting cold to work on my truck right now. any ideas dudes .

the 1500 is a bit underdesigned when it comes to the drive train as they use the same components as the dakota. you cant even get the standard shift with the 260 as the nv3500 is not up to the added torque. i guess that they think of it as just a big car. you realize that the 1500 is a half ton rated probably at best around 7000 lbs gross trailer rating. while the engine hemi for example in a lot of half tons are the same engine found in the gas versions of the 3/4 and 1 tons applications the suspension drivetrain and brakes are designed as such 1/2 ton. so i would disagree that the half tons are under designed but would say instead they are over abused. im guilty too thats why i quit buying half ton trucks. -- ---------------------------- -chris 05 ctd 06 liberty crd real trucks dont need spark plugs. .

tbone wrote gee and why doesnt every one do that perhaps because those in power like to keep it that way oh geez typical liberal. always blame their problems on someone else. if you wanted something bad enough and had the abilities youd have it instead of whining and wanting something that belongs to someone else. when you can explain to us how anyone is capable of actually working hard enought to earn over $1000000 dollars if its so easy then go do it yourself instead of whining. most wealthy people i know worked their way from the bottom. they spent many years living a rather poor life and putting everything they have into it to get where they are today. most people are not willing to do that or theyre a liberal and blame others for their own failures. really it did in the past. when has raising taxes in a down economy created growth and prosperity i never said that but what you are doing is simply blowing smoke. the only way that a tax cut can raise revenue in taxes is if they cause the creation of high paying jobs complete bull. lower taxes puts more money into the hands of the people. the current tax revenues have skyrocketed over your idol clintons years. it is because consumer and corporate spending has increased. look at the figures the tax revenue increases match the rate of money changing hands almost exact contrary to your warped explanations. despite the crap of record low unemployment crap low unemployment is crap the figures today are computed exactly the same way they always have. so if they are bad today then things really sucked under clinton. the median income has gone up. that means the new jobs are not low paying as your liberal bs propaganda tries to claim without any proof otherwise. great economy many are not living as well as they were before got proof people are living worse funny how people can afford more expensive houses if they are doing so poorly. probably so for the far left ideas but if you think differently name a few. funny how arizona killed making gay marriage unconstitutional. i would say that happened because that law would also make unions also illegal so the public is not as far right as you would like. youre talking about prop. 107. you need to read arizonas constitution. it already does ban gay marriage. failure of 107 doesnt change that fact at all. gay marriage is constitutionally banned in arizona. .

i bought it new and kept it alive through the years. i probably know as much about its carburetor as anyone alive. today i finally tracked down the main cause of the current problem which is a repeat of a past problem. the problem is a dying engine when idling. the first cause was a worn throttle shaft bearing in the carb. a rebuilt from ebay solved that. the current problem of dying at idle seems to be caused by an intermittently leaking vacuum transducer at the spark control computer. a sharp opening of the throttle and a quick return always induces a lose of power and engine failure unless the throttle is quickly opened at least slightly. disconnecting the vacuum hose to the vacuum transducer at the spark control computer and plugging it up seems to fix this problem. rather than replacing the spark control computer/vacuum transducer its one unit what are my options for upgrading the ignition on this vehicle thanks for any help. jack .

ok heres the deal 1999 durango v8 64k miles intermittent engine + guage failure; odometer reads no bus. the fix is i go and press on each of the three pcm connectors and at some point the whole thing comes back to life. no heat correlation and its really easy to get it going again. when this happens the odb codes get reset but there arent any codes being recorded i know the codes are being reset because some of the tests that only complete once youve driven a while show as incomplete again after the error occurs. finally - its a friends backup car but her parents are coming to town and this just started happening. id like to save her a bill at the dealers. is this definately the pcm and therefore covered under the 8/80k warranty i pulled all the connectors and sprayed everything down with electronic cleaner; didnt really help anything. sometimes the jostling of the engine trying to start actually fixes it. any help terribly appreciated! elijah .

hello all of youse i ll have to agree with tbone on this one. i had same problem with my 4x4. it works on 4x4 low no problem my 4x4 high was not getting in right. i had to move the truck little bit then shift it in high on some days it works on some days it doesnt work. i end up replacing my 4x4 shift it was just rust that makes it hard to shift in dont ask why i had it fixed with new shifter. now it shifts so smoothly. that part cost me 250 and its worth my work. i just saved myself fortune not to take it to shop. just use your haynes manual booklet. most of information is right there with some troubleshoots. .

hi i added a reformulator to my oil crankcase and gas tank and got better performance and an increase in gas mileage. it works on just about any combustible engine. it works on cars boats generators etc. i even use it in my lawn mower lol. this stuff works. i put 1 ounce per 10 gallons of gasoline in my car and 1 ounce per every quart of oil my crankcase takes. of course you have to adjust it to put it in smaller engines like in snowmobiles motorcycles generators etc. you wont get maximun results on your first time you use it but the more you keep using it the better the gas mileage. anything to help with the high gasoline prices now days. here is the link where you can get the fuel reformulator. i hope it helps. http//www.gasclubusa.net/go/reyesfc/retail.htm --- maf anti-spam id 20061107160956w6w4fwq4 .

tbone wrote front or rear axle while the axle should bolt right up the pinion will be a different size and require a modification to the drive shaft. both front and rear axle. even if its same year of truck but different in size and shaft requires modification i assume it ll be the same pinion size. wish dodge made their truck easier i never had problem except for 4x4 hi gear had new tranny and new 4x4 auto and runs so great. just want make some modification with my suspension and make it stronger for some serious mud ride .
