    Fuel Pump Issue?

    2003 Dodge Ram 3500 long box diesel with 6 Speed NV5600 transmission, family owned truck since new. It has a 35 gallon fuel tank. Had the fuel lift pump conversion (68003870-AB) in November, 2014 at 163K miles. Had another fuel pump (Delphi EFG1080) installed in August, 2018 at 197K miles. (Dad...

    Strange A/C problem

    Thanks everyone. Figured it out. A new double din head unit was installed in the winter. Apparently all that messing around in there knocked a wire loose on the AC controls (I'm assuming). I went into the dash and simply inspected, checked and tightened connections on the AC controls and put it...

    Strange A/C problem

    2003 Ram 3500: Of course this happens the day before a trip. The A/C compressor comes on and the air gets cold if the switch is set to Defrost or Defrost/Feet. But if I turn it to Middle Vent or Middle Vent/Feet the A/C compressor goes off. The light says the A/C is still on. So, the compressor...

    Removing hubs when the Power Steering method doesn't work

    An Update: I stopped at the shop this morning that the truck was towed to earlier this week. I hadn't heard anything this week so I stopped. They hadn't had a chance to get to it till yesterday afternoon. The truck was in one of the bays in the back so it wasn't evident when I got there. The...

    Removing hubs when the Power Steering method doesn't work

    I want to thank everyone here and other places for their input. Been kind of busy the last few days on a number of things. I wasn't ignoring you and I apologize for not responding sooner. The status of the truck is that I put everything back together without getting the driver side hub off...

    Removing hubs when the Power Steering method doesn't work

    2003 Dodge Ram 3500 4X4 with 218K miles. Trying to replace front hubs. When trying to remove them, the power steering method didn't work. Tried using a chisel to break the seal between the hub and the mounting face. Bent the chisel. Other than a lot of banging, any other methods I should be...

    Replacing hubs - did I find another problem?

    I appreciate everyone's input. I knew the hub was bad as I said in the original post. I just didn't know if the movement I was seeing in the other non-hub parts (see the video) was cause for concern. Seem the consensus (in the places I've checked) is that a hub replacement will address this...

    Replacing hubs - did I find another problem?

    The 1 11/16" castle nut has been removed. But the hub/bearing is still attached. I was just getting ready to remove those 4 bolts to get it off when I noticed the play in these parts and wondered if I should be concerned.

    Replacing hubs - did I find another problem?

    No play in the U-Joint itself that I can see. And yes, this is the 'short' side - it goes almost straight into the differential housing.

    Replacing hubs - did I find another problem?

    2003 Dodge Ram 3500 4X4 diesel with 218K miles on it. Inherited it from my dad 18 months ago. Heard a road speed related hum/growl a little while back and started to diagnose. With the front end off the ground I could move the driver-side tire in and out when grasping at 12 and 6 but not when...

    Shaking When Decelerating

    I'm dealing with the same issue on my '03 long bed with a two piece driveshaft. Started feeling a shudder during low speed braking. So I experimented a bit and tried coasting down to a stop. Got the same shudder as it decreased speed from 18 down to 15 without hitting the brakes. It is very...
