    Stall, backfire, then all is fine on 2004 3.7 Ram 1500

    Just an update - too it to a local shop, asked for new EGR and O2 sensors, next evening I went to check on progress and all was well, owner thought it was probably a "cam position sensor" and got a readout saying it was a problem, replaced it, and ALL IS WELL. Just an FYI. Thanks all.

    Stall, backfire, then all is fine on 2004 3.7 Ram 1500

    Random engine stop not long after starting and driving, depress clutch (5-speed man.) then release clutch or downshift depending on speed. Engine self-starts fine then with clutch engaged. Happens only after start of longer trip. Won't happen again the rest of the day. Been to a garage, a...

    Truck has 4-wires cut and taped and no connector. Colors are yellow, green, brown and BLACK. Black is larger diameter than the other 3-colors, slightly. All 4-wire diagrams I see show a white for ground. I want to finish the proper end for pulling a 4-wire trailer I bought - is it safe to...

    Manual Seat recline issues

    I have a related but different problem: 2004 1500 Quadcab, manual seats, I can find NO mechanism to adjust the seat back. Did Dodge build a drivers-side seat that wasn't adjustable???

    Adjusting Headlights

    bug buggy: Slightly veered off topic - I need replacement headlamps, complete, because of sever fogging of the cheap plastic lenses. What did you buy, and are they quality? I see too many different brands and comments by buyers. Did you use new OEM bulbs, or the same bulbs as original, or...

    Oil for high mile engine

    Recently got a deal on a 2004 1500 with a 3.7 5-speed manual, but, 306,000 miles. My other vehicle is a '99 Ranger 4.0 with 478,000+ miles. I went to 20-50 when Ranger was about 350,000. The tolerances (gaps!) have to be way bigger than factory dimensions - what do you think should run in the...
