    Loosing Burning Coolant 97' Diesel

    Drop the oil, what does it look it? It's gotta be leaking somewhere...or burned...but you say there is no smoke to indicate such.

    Shaking/Wobbling at 40mph

    Put the front end up in the air- spin the tires make sure there is little to no friction. then I would do the poor man's method of testing front end parts- wobble the tire either up and down, or side to side depending on diagnosing which front end part.

    hesitation & surging

    Gurgling in the dash is air pocket in your cooling system. Burp that shit. Plenum gasket can cause all of those symptoms.

    My Gas Tank Runs Dry To Fast

    Yeah, I was doing the same thing. Working for a large corporation, trying to climb the ladder- ended up using my personal vehicle for work- got used to doing it not asking for mileage reimbursement or anything (driving a tuner car getting 30+ at the time) when eventually on my way dropping...

    Needing some help

    Mine loves to hesitate around 1700-2000 RPM's. But if I am accellerating above 2k, it won't surge at all. Does this sound familiar?

    Bad night

    Keep the un-unified tire in the back like they say. Look on craigslist for a cheap set. It's always nice to have a set of spare tires lol..

    Do you guys think sandbags really help in the winter?

    I put 500lbs of driveway salt on the rear axle in the bed. It helps put the tire to the ground and atleast move. Plus, if you get stuck stuck, you can always open a bag of salt and help yourself get unstuck!

    First truck. Need some help

    Welcome to RF! Plenum gasket's are known to fail. Got my kit ready to do mine myself this weekend! 30$ from Rock Auto. Check all vacuum lines for leaks and I'd guess your plenum is broken. Any other symptoms?

    truck stalls out when brakes are applied

    Does it really re-learn the PCM? Because everyday my truck drives with more power.. after I fixed the electrical problem. It would only fire 5/8 cylinders due to a distributor cap, and now that its fixed, sometimes it acts funky.

    2001 dodge ram gas problem

    Hey, welcome to RF! Has the plenum been changed? My instinct says you have cross-firing. Make sure your plug wires aren't crossing at all- use the separators.

    If not plenum gasket, then what?

    I've had my fuel pump run 7lbs of pressure and still run my truck... and that its not showing your fuel level makes me point at the pump. Can you rent a manifold and check pressure at the rail?

    If not plenum gasket, then what?

    I would literally stall out at random times as well, but would hear a distinct whistle at various times, coming directly from the IAC- had the TB bare and saw it.

    94 1500 318

    I am going to change the CKPS and check out why that might be leaking...torq converter perhaps? We shall see.. Glad its running now too! The new exhaust has a nice tone too!

    If not plenum gasket, then what?

    IAC will whistle at ya when it's ready to be changed- don't clean it, just swap it. That will affect your surging in low r's and idle issue. Make sure you got spark to all cylinders, check out your intake manifold when you pull the TB off, and buy a new TB gasket!
