    Engine dies randomly

    2008 Dodge Ram 2D 4.7l I've been having issues with the engine dying at low rpms, high rpms (highway speed). The engine light comes on and blinks and dings. The only code is for multiple misfires. I am seeing misfires on cylinders 3, 7, and 8. Fuel pressure is good and have installed a new...

    Engine dies while at highway speed

    I had my phone attached to the wireless ob2 reader and was watching my truck info while this has happened. After I fired it back up and found a spot to pull over I scanned for codes and it had nothing on it.

    Engine dies while at highway speed

    The dash goes dark. I've checked positive and negative cables but they are clean and seem to be making good contact. I will take a look at the ECU connector. Another thought came to me, I have an after market auto start on the truck, that when you hit the brake, shift to gear without the key...

    2008 Ram 1500 stuttering after new o2 sensors

    2008 Ram 1500 2 wheel drive 2 door 4.7l flex, 110000 miles. I've owned this truck for about 5 years and it has always weird little gremlins that pop up. For instance I've had the tire light come on at random a few times. I pulled over and the tires where fine, then the truck wouldn't start...

    Anyone bother to put synthetic in the 3.6?

    I was told by some mechanic/ gear head buddies, that you shouldn't use synthetic on flat tappet lifters. The reason was they won't have enough friction to spin and wear evenly. If its a roller then its fine and encouraged. I'm more a shade tree mechanic anymore but I think it makes sense.

    High RPM's on highway

    The speedo is correct, would that still be an issue? Tires are just wider it seems 285/70-R17.

    High RPM's on highway

    Hello and thanks for the forums. I just joined the Dodge family with a 2008 Ram 1500, 4.7 l 2 door. I have only had her for about 6 months now, with spring here I'm staring to get out in the garage more and see what kind of maintenance she needs and what improvements I might want to consider...
