    2005 5.7L Erratic pulsing idle, stalled on me.

    Anyone have any ideas? I have been driving my truck and haven't had it stall anymore, but it still will pulsate when cold?

    Post Throttle Body Cleaning

    I had this same issue with my 05' 5.7L, I cleaned my throttle body and no difference, ended up researching and asking around and I changed my PCV, immediately the throttle response was changed and MPG, I haven't had and pulsations in the RPM until recently again however, It may be due to siting...

    EGR valve

    I had that code, checked my EGR, it was in need of replacing. Do not have that code anymore and the truck response way night and day difference. Now I'm having other issues that may/may not be related.

    2005 5.7L Erratic pulsing idle, stalled on me.

    Hey guys, so I haven't been driving my truck for a while, and let it sit for around 5-7 days at a time before starting it up and driving. I'm noticing when the engine is cold if I blip the throttle it will pulsate between 1,200-700 RPM and eventually smooth it self out after about 3-5 seconds of...

    Member Transformations

    Here is my transformation, as many of you have seen it and followed my build, of my 2005 Ram. A lot of work went into this old truck, but I plan on holding on to this for a long time. Built it with my father. Sorry about the Multiple upload. The attachment froze up and I uploaded more than I...

    CanadianHemi's 2005 Ram

    Thanks guys! What do you think of flares? I want to try and avoid rock chips from my new tires but, I'm not big on the flares or flaps. It's not really the hard core off road looking truck.

    CanadianHemi's 2005 Ram

    Couple more shot of my truck done by myself. Storing it this winter, and doing some work on it while going to school! I may have found a SRT hood to save all my problems with the current hood, and I'd like to get the SRT sport front clip as well. We will see what happens once I get it in the shop!

    Cams

    I'm not sure exactly but I think the 2008 is slightly different than a 2002. I would just put a comp cam in there and know that it's new and would make power vs guessing on a newer engine. I could be wrong!

    Doing a tune up, recommendations on what should be done

    What does a 190* thermostat do? What is the factory one set to?

    Doing a tune up, recommendations on what should be done

    Hey guys, I'm getting my truck in for a good tune up and I want to have it working in tip top order. looking at getting new plugs for it, I have already replaced the EGR valve and PCV valve along with a transmission flush and new filter. Is there anything else I should stick in ,that these...

    I think my HEMI is burning synthetic oil??

    I found out why my truck was burning oil!! I kept at it and did some research because i know my engine is like new and that amount of oil consumption was not normal, and I was told by my Dodge tech to check my PCV valve. Took my engine cover off and noticed my throttle body was saturated with...

    CanadianHemi's 2005 Ram

    Quick update, posted on here a while back about the 5.7 consuming oil. I noticed it kind of started gradually and then more and more. I noticed my throttle body was saturated with oil and my truck was just not making serious power like it did before until around 3-3,500 RPM. I really looked into...

    I started learning how to take better photos. Here are some more of my truck!

    CanadianHemi's 2005 Ram

    Thank you, really appreciate it! The bumper cap is actually plastic, I could paint the cap but it flexes very easily and would eventually crack the paint and it would fall off causing a big mess. I thought about buying the SRT/Rumble bee front end clip for it, but I usually just shine the...

    CanadianHemi's 2005 Ram

    Well, had my truck into the shop the other day for a oil change, greasing and fluid top up. I switched to Royal Purple, from Casterol Edge, and I'm very happy. I found that the Edge would burn faster? Must have been the additives but the RP is excellent oil. Ended up finding out that I had to...

    03 to 05 PCM swap

    Interesting, thanks! Good luck with the install.

    03 to 05 PCM swap

    Stupid question, what exactly does this do? Is this a beneficial mod of some sort? Or do you just need a new standard PCM? I put a new PCM in my truck and everything was fine?

    What is so bad about the Rams transmissions?

    You are very right there. I was looking at newer vehicles for a friend recently, I said they are made like a BIC lighter nowadays, use them for a while and throw them away, for a new one. It's scary how cheap and flimsy they are made. We are lucky to get 4-5 years out of a new vehicle here...

    What is so bad about the Rams transmissions?

    Well, I don't think they sound any worse than a GM trans or a Ford. My previous truck was a Ford, and the trans would shift super hard out of 3rd into 4th, apparently a normal thing, even after adjustments and fluid. Also had it pop into neutral from reverse. And my family is the "The GM product...

    What is so bad about the Rams transmissions?

    Interesting, I couldn't really find anything about that. Most I found was a 2nd gen Cummins makes too much torque for an old design to handle. I sometimes drive in OD to make a slow road feel a bit more fun, nothing wide open 4,500 rpm or anything. Maybe I should quit that out.. How could I...

    What is so bad about the Rams transmissions?

    I keep reading the old " Ram is junk, they have weak transmissions" or " All Dodge is good for is blowing up transmissions" blah, blah. I did some googling and I have read people actually having transmission replacements at 80,000Kms, but I can never find out what is the issue? It seems to...

    Check Engine Light

    Not a problem! I was really impressed that the truck could do that haha. I actually have this code as well, I did a EGR valve replacement, fixed two codes but still have this one. It isn't the cap for me, I will check into the hose issue!

    Check Engine Light

    I'm not sure if you Ram will do it, but If I turn my key on and off three times, leaving the key on the third time, my codes will flash in my cluster. Write them down and give them a google or search on the forums!

    CanadianHemi's 2005 Ram

    Thank you! I was going for the stock look to it. I really wanted those wheels, I think they are beautiful, and I didn't really like the look of many Aftermarket ones. I am going for a "If Dodge made a performance off-road truck" look to it, in 2005 Haha. I was very nervous at first mounting...

    CanadianHemi's 2005 Ram

    Thank you! I see you have what looks like the other A/T Toyo tires on your truck, do you like them? I almost bought those for mine, but I decided to go with what I had before.
