    Cooling System Refuses to bleed

    Is it possible the thermostat was installed upside down? If you end up replacing the water pump again there should be a bleeder screw on the front though I've never actually used it. If it's just a stubborn air pocket the other thing you can try is have the truck parked on an incline with the...

    No heat

    Any problem with the engine temp? Wondering if there's air in the system.

    Gas spray

    Fuel tank Inlet check valve, my 2006 Ram did the same thing. I took it to a dealer and it was covered under recall.

    05 dodge ram hemi no super cold start

    When the sparkplugs got old on my 2006 Hemi it had trouble starting down below 10°F. Changed the plugs and that fixed it.

    Driveline "clunk" sound

    Try changing the transfer case fluid. With my foot on the brake a shifting into drive or reverse my '06 would make a very loud clank. Changed the T case fluid and it sounded much better.

    engine rebuild

    If you'd like to save some $ I've got used forged CP Carillo pistons .020" over stock, Molnar connecting rods and a 6.1L crank gathering dust on the shelf. Also have an intake from an '04. Send a PM if you're interested.

    Door rubbers & moldings

    Try 1A Auto. I got vent window seals and was very pleased.

    Engine noise help needed

    My 2006 2500 Hemi sounded the same after being rebuilt. Turned out to be a leaking exhaust manifold gasket. In my case I used a gasket for a 1500 Ram so the gasket wasn't sealing the EGR port on the cylinder head.

    Anyone like the old 1981 d150 slant 6?

    I saw a Ram at a campground a few years ago that a turbocharger on the slant six. I guess it made enough power to haul a pickup camper on the back.

    Need some help diagnosing a cooling problem

    I'm also thinking it's a bad water pump. Not too difficult of a job on the 5.7L.

    2004 Ram 2500 5.7 engine swap

    You're welcome. No reliability issues that I'm aware of, it would be no different than turning the MDS off with a tuner. Since you'll have the front cover off you could replace the timing chain guides with new 6.1L Hemi guides since they're more durable. Other than that I'd leave the 300 engine...

    2004 Ram 2500 5.7 engine swap

    If it's an '05-'08 5.7L it will work. You'll need to swap over the front cover, oil pan and manifolds as you mentioned. Not sure if the oil pick up tube is the same or not. Also remove the EGR blocking plate from your '04 engine's cylinder head and put it on the 300 donor to delete the EGR. Make...
