    My 2001 Ram 1500 won't go into Park

    My 2001 1500 Crew Cab won't go into park. Started all of a sudden, it tries, but just won't get to the park position. So right now, I have to leave it in neutral with brake on to turn it off, but I can't get the key out so it stays inside. I've seen a couple of videos on Youtube that show...

    What's the rating on the step bumper for towing?

    Sorry everyone, should have looked in the manual before posting this. The manual says the bumper is rated at Class III and can tow a trailer up to 5000 lbs. Guess I'm going to have to get a Class IV hitch to pull a heavier travel trailer.

    What's the rating on the step bumper for towing?

    I've installed a 2" Ball on the step bumper of my 2001 Ram Short Bed with the 5.2L engine. What's the towing capacity of the step bumper? Thinking about towing a 20' ultra-light travel trailer and was wondering if I needed a aftermarket hitch installed.

    Oil Pressure Sending Unit?

    Here's an update. Found a reliable mechanic not too far from my home, a one man shop, and we discussed the problem. He says he's replaced a bunch of the Oil Pressure Sending Units in his life, but since I'm hearing tappet noises when the gauge drops to zero, then he suspects that it's...

    Oil Pressure Sending Unit?

    I was able to get Dodge to refund me half the cost of putting in the sensor, since that wasn't the problem. They said for two hours of labor they could wire around the harness. I said BS, I can do that myself and in a lot less time. But I don't think that's the issue. The last time I drove...

    Oil pressure sending unit. Need to know which connector the leads lead to and where to look for a possible short or open condition. Scott

    Oil Pressure Sending Unit?

    Just spent $350 to have my local Dodge dealership replace the sensor. Drove about 50 miles and just before arriving home, the oil gauge dropped to zero again, came back, dropped again came back and then dropped for the remaining mile to home. So obviously, the sensor wasn't the issue. I will...

    Oil Pressure Sending Unit?

    Well, I was able to get my cell phone back in behind all the hoses and wiring to get a picture of the sending unit. Does the wiring look normal to everyone? To my electrical engineering mind the wires coming from the top of the connector look a little strained. Also, I see obvious...

    Oil Pressure Sending Unit?

    I'm new here having recently acquired a 2001 Ram 1500 with 82K miles on it. It was well taken care of and is almost showroom condition. Anyway, was driving it today when the oil pressure gauge dropped to zero and I got the check engine light and the chime, then it went back to 30, then to zero...

    Keyless Entry Transmitter Replacement

    Thanks Calab, but nothing happens when I open the door after pressing the lock button inside the cab. I've tried the other procedures in the manual and still only get the lock and unlock function. I fear that this some sort of dealer add-on that only unlocks the doors and is not the equipment...

    Keyless Entry Transmitter Replacement

    I'm new here, just having bought a 2001 Ram 1500 with 81K miles on it. The previous owner gave me a keyless entry transmitter that he said didn't work anymore. I opened it up to check the battery and found the battery contacts a little corroded, so I cleaned them off and checked the battery...
