    Shuddering, engine or transmission???

    So I guess I did have a question for input. So say it does need a valve job. Based on my rough estimates I could get new entire heads if I do the work myself vs having a valve job done by someone else. That sound about right? In that case would you just replace the heads. I guess it would be...

    Shuddering, engine or transmission???

    Well I didn’t mention it cause it has only happened once. So I did het the code last year doing hard acceleration on relatively cold engine. Nothing since and the code did come back finally. But funny enough it went away on its own just yesterday.

    Shuddering, engine or transmission???

    The plugs have roughly 18k on them I usually change at 30k but if they need change they need it. Last 2 sets were from amazon. Nothing to indicate it wws knock offs of course and roughly 6 a plug. Mopar site has them for 7. Given its been about 2 years I’d say they were priced right. Maybe next...

    Shuddering, engine or transmission???

    So you may be on to something here. Last week or so the code has been intermittent and would self correct. I went ahead and paid a shop to do compression check and leak down test. Could have rented tools and done myself but seeing how I’ve never done it I wanted to be certain it was done right...

    Shuddering, engine or transmission???

    Well WTF is all I can say. 3 days later and the code has not come back. So I’m just at a loss now. I just can’t believe these spark plugs would cause it. All I did was clean it up and switch plugs cylinders 5 with 1. I’m not a spark plug expert but these don’t look bad to me. Guess I shouldn't...

    Shuddering, engine or transmission???

    That is what I’ve been most afraid a new/reman engine and then possibly new/reman tranny. With todays car prices proably still cheaper to replace especially if I can manage go do a bulk of the work. Thanks I’ll post with any updates or new info. Thanks

    Shuddering, engine or transmission???

    So let it warm up in the garage for 10 minutes. 42F outside and no code. Did some hard acceleration on the way in and no codes. Can’t imagine cleaning couple plugs, that weren't that dirty, and re-gapping them would make a difference. Temps drop back to the 20s tomorrow so I’ll try again. Jury...

    Shuddering, engine or transmission???

    So yes shudder presents itself both in tow/haul as well as just manual shift mode. Seems to happen less often in those modes due to higher rpm range it runs in at lower speeds. True on the tranny possible issue. Not super critical especially seeing how I've had that for couple years or so now...

    Shuddering, engine or transmission???

    Thanks. Yes I have a tick. It been there for a while and yes generally at idle till its warmed up. When I swapped the coils I got same code 305 but then also 300 code. Then I checked the plugs and they looked good. I brushed them and checked gaps. I also swapped plugs from cylinder 1 with 5. I...

    2009 Dodge 1500 5.7 157,000 miles. Posted similar but no replies so deleting it, rewording and putting in a different category for hope of a response. So for the longest time I’ve been thinking I have the torque converter shudder. Never confirmed but after research and consulting a trany shop...

    Single to Dual Exhaust Conversion ?s

    So I have a 2009 and I would think the parts are the same but when I go to order the hanger on a mopar parts site it indicated it will not fit. Can this be the case? All the others seems to be welded so it’s interesting this on is bolted on. I also thought I read somewhere in here that the one...

    2013 Ram P1004 Short Runner Issue Please Help!

    So I’m back to this code. I reset in May and now going on 2 months it has popped again. So 2 things, 1. if I do nothing other than reset the code each time what is the harm? Read somewhere I just me lose higher rpm horsepower. Is that about it? 2. I also read only fix might be to replace the...

    Flowmaster 50 series HD

    Thanks. So if long tubes are the end game what muffler setup would you suggest? In case I decide to do it backwards and change the muffler first then the add LT later.
