The heads are about 4 years old and the entire engine was rebuilt. I'd prefer not to go through all of that again. I will do the compression test this weekend and see what turns from that.
Sounds like a weekend project :)
I have never done a compression test, but a little bit of googling I found a guide. I will give it the old college try this weekend and see what I come up with thanks.
First off thanks for reading and hopefully you all can give me an idea of where to look/check.
I noticed a rough idle and in low RPMs a stutter/slight jerking and the check engine light came on. I took it in to the local auto part store they said Cylinder 4 Misfire. I replaced all 8 Spark...
Replaced the Cylinder 4 Fuel Injector and problem solved :) thanks for the help. If anyone needs help with removing the injectors let me know I am now a pro at it HA HA!
Also I got ahold of 2004 service manual if anyone needs I can PM you it.
Yea more I've read I'm thinking it's the injector my mpg has been pretty damned bad as of late too. Going to pick one up do the tests and if it is just replace it if not then return it and keep troubleshooting lol.

I started getting a rough idle about a month ago and check engine light came on a few days after. I went to auto part store had them check and I replaced my spark plugs. The check engine light went away after I replaced the spark plugs. I still had the rough idle...

I noticed last Monday that my truck would give a slight jerking motion when i would start to accelerate from a dead stop or when slowing down anything below about 8 mph during me coming to a full stop. I also have a rough idle that comes and goes. Here's a list of...
Been working on the truck since 8 this morning just fixing up things and dead tired now :D
Repaired power steering leak
Cleaned throttle body
Cleaned entire engine with some degreaser stuff I bought made it look nice.
Rotated tires
Now I have a list of mostly exterior mods I want to do and I...
Any type of upholstery cleaner that y'all recommend? Mostly need to get some rust spots out of the carpet that I have noticed under the driver/passenger seats.
Replaced radiator, put new spark plugs in and changed oil. This morning still have a small list of things to do before it starts raining all weekend.

Gotcha buddy used it on his rims so was curious how it would last on trim.
Gotcha actually makes sense with the throttle body. The IAC is located just to the right on the drivers side?
The evap cleaner I assume you are hooking it to the compressor lines?

Thank you. I just looked it up. It's a bit pricey so I will add it to my "do later" list lol! I need to finish fixing the minor issues then i will definitely buy that thing ;) . Also I like the black trim on my truck it is fading. Have you ever used Plasti Dip on trim if so how did it turn out?
Thank you I will pop underneath the passenger side tomorrow and check it out. Now that you mentioned it I do recall a year ago hearing a minor sound coming from the passenger side assumed something was caught in the vent but may be that the motor on that blower fan went out. Thanks!
Looks like it's coming from the driver side portion of the radiator and leaking down the power steering hoses and that's how it's getting on the fan too

'04 Few maintenance questions?
I have a 2004 Ram V8 with 135k miles. I do all my own maintenance. Jut replaced the radiator, changed oil and replaced spark plugs.
I have a few minor issues:
Power Steering is leaking it appears to be around the power steering rack. I am going to try worm...
Had some issue removing the terminal from the starter. Once i got it off everything was easy. I'm trying to plug the terminal into the new starter, but no amount of pressure will budge it to completely lock into the connector. I have also tried connecting it to the old starter and I have the...
Also something I've noticed that just came to me. When my trucks running normal temp levels the oil gauge and battery gauge are slightly above normal. When my truck creeps up to normal then higher temps the oil and battery gauge return to normal.

Ty both I'll try thermostat because I know that would be the cheaper fix of the two but if it doesn't work I'll Google how to check fan clutch.

In 2010 I had the entire engine rebuilt because it had a cracked head that I didn't have the cash to fix at the moment and when we went in there was rust inside the entire engine.
3 weeks ago, I was checking my fluids and checked the coolant reservoir and then radiator. I didn't fully close the...
