    Can i somehow get mine out of derate?

    Hello GTYankee, Hey! Thanks for the leads. I'm reading up on these devices and it looks like I will most certainly obtain one of these. Actually, some of these at thousands of dollars might be a bit north of my budget. :cool: Ralph

    Can i somehow get mine out of derate?

    I'm sure glad forums keep records of members' posts; that way, we can keep track of the trolls. Perhaps, they will eventually come to their senses and recognize how embarrassing they made themselves. In the meantime, my de-rated 3500 came out of derate all by itself. Don't ask me how. I am...

    Can i somehow get mine out of derate?

    A little aggressive are we? I've never bypassed my emissions system so I don't believe I am ignorant of environmental issues as well as everyone's health and well being. The solution to my problem may still cost me a bundle but it will not be for bypassing anything. I thought this forum is for...

    Can i somehow get mine out of derate?

    Thank you for the replies. I am away from the truck for the next week and will get back to see what I can find out with my OBD-II reader. Ralph

    Can i somehow get mine out of derate?

    The truck threw a code referring to the emissions system. I've reconnected all the sensors and the truck is still at 5MPH. I knowmit has to do with the emmisions and I am not prepared to take it to the stealership.

    Okay, I did exactly as told. No start and no trouble codes

    What can kill an ignition coil?

    Do you mean that if there is no fuel pressure, the system won't allow spark?

    What can kill an ignition coil?

    Hello Pacofortacos, Okay, I try those steps in a few hours when I arrive back to the shop. Running errands at the moment, and I'll get back to you.

    '96 2500 plow truck won't run after sitting the winter...

    Just checked the fuel pump relay and it is fine. I also got a little more fuel up to the engine but no where near 45 PSI. This might mean a bad fuel pump which entails dropping the tank I presume. By the way, I have not found an in-line fuel filter so am I correct in assuming the filter is also...

    What can kill an ignition coil?

    Hello pacofortacos, I am working on the truck now and am looking into the fuel system. It appears I have no fuel pressure and cannot hear the fuel pump running when turning on the ignition. I've actually had posted earlier about this and didn't remember so I have 2 threads going on this problem...

    '96 2500 plow truck won't run after sitting the winter...

    Hello DodgeTX, I have attached a manometer and am not getting any pressure, or very little, actually. I even pushed the check valve of the fitting on the fuel rack and almost no pressure is seen there with the ignition switch on. If, however, I cycle the ignition switch several times, I'll get a...

    What can kill an ignition coil?

    Still trying to get my 96 Ran 2500 S/T running. It cranks but doesn't fire. Could something destroy a coil? I replaced it but still cannot seem to get spark. I even ran a temporary hot lead to.the primary side of the old coil and the new replacement coil - no spark. Is there something I am missing?

    '96 2500 plow truck won't run after sitting the winter...

    Hello again all, My problem still persists. Here's what I've done so far: I replaced the coil and the truck started right up. But after 2 minutes, died. I replaced the new coil and the truck started again. Could something in the ignition system damage the coil?

    Thank you, folks for the suggestions. Other, job-related issues have come up since my last post and I have put the troubleshooting on hold for the week. Will follow up with results as I tend to them. Thanks again for the time you've taken in replying. Ralph

    '96 2500 plow truck won't run after sitting the winter...

    I couldn't hear the fuel pump but don't remember ever having heard it in the past. Yes, I was a bit unsure of the other but I DID try the gas down the TB truck with no result. I'm going to run down and pick up a cap and rotor. They have not been changed in a long time anyway.

    '96 2500 plow truck won't run after sitting the winter...

    Hey all, I parked my '96 Ram and hadn't started it all winter. Came out on a warm spring day to start it. It actually started fairly quickly and ran for about 2 minutes, was smoothing out and just beginning to warm up when it suddenly died. Tried several times to restart it to no avail. It...

    Looking for a full replacement frame...

    Hello all, Up here in Maine (as with many northern states), winter salt application has doner a number on my 1996 Ram 2500. So I am seriously considering replacing the frame on this truck. Would anyone have a good source for a replacement chassis? Mine is a 1996 RAm 2500 ext. cab/short bed 4x4...

    6.7 Emissions issues

    Please excuse me stupid question but: What is a grid heater, what does it do, where can I find mine and how can I detect it being clogged? I have a 2014 Ram 3500 6.7 Cummins with 6-speed drive >10,000 miles/month hauling cars.

    Upgrading rear axle and springs from a 3500 to a 5500

    I don't avoid scales ever.

    Upgrading rear axle and springs from a 3500 to a 5500

    Understand and I appreciate your concern. I'm registered for 38,000# gross and since last December (2015) drove 110,000 with no accidents. I do what many "four wheelers" or motorists don't do, I leave reasonable following distance; probably why I rarely even have close calls.

    Upgrading rear axle and springs from a 3500 to a 5500

    Yes, me too but two things have me not going that route 1) Having to trade in this truck for a 5500. Not financially prepared to do that and... 2) All other major components of the truck, ie, the engine, transmission have been sufficient for my needs. :favorites13:

    Upgrading rear axle and springs from a 3500 to a 5500

    Hello all, Has anyone upgraded their 3500 rear axle and suspension with that of a 4500 or 5500? I understand I will have issues if I only try to use the leaf springs out of say, a 5500 because the U-bolts are of a different size. I would also upgrade the rear axle because of the loads I...
