    Power Steering Noise

    That's what I did, complete new pump, reservoir and pulley. Then the damn rack went out, lol. Now I have a new rack too and all's well! Oh, and a new serpentine belt. Thank ya'll for the responses!

    ETC light with EGR code stalled while driving and won't start

    I agree with jws123, bad fuel pump or relay. Light will be on as long as the engine's not running.

    Power Steering Noise

    My 2004 1500 5.7l developed a power steering leak at the fitting on the high pressure hose. I pulled it, changed the o-rings and put it back, filled it with fluid and did the 10 to 15 turns lock to lock to bleed the air. Now when I crank it and when it's above 1800 rpm's it sounds like an overly...

    Engine Dies Randomly

    No, the mil never lit when it would randomly die. I baptized it in July 2022. The other day the mil lit going down the road and it threw a code for the egr so I put a new one on it. I say the other day but it was like 5 weeks ago, it's ran great ever since, even better than it ran before so I...

    Engine Dies Randomly

    My 2004 5.7 hemi will randomly die on de-acceleration. Has always cranked right back on first try, but this morning it took 3 tries to get it started. The engine and majority of the accessories only have 4,000 miles on them and it runs perfect otherwise. About the only thing I haven't changed on...

    Rear end locked up

    They should change everything connected to the driveline that got broken. I'd have them check the trans. also, hope it didn't damage anything up inside of it besides the transfer case. IMO.

    Headlight question

    Ground Straps

    My 2004 has a strap from the valve cover bolt to the intake bolt on each side that are about 3 or so inches long. The one on the passenger side is under where the oil goes in. Couldn't find them anywhere except the dealer and those were outrageously priced so I ordered the 2 from Rockauto that...

    Old age and detailing.

    I'm 65 and I run mine through the carwash a couple times a year whether it needs it or not!

    IS IT TIME 5.7 TO GET DROPPED ???

    My son bought a 2018 F-150 with the 5.0 and it was crap also. Rattled like a 7.3l diesel and used oil, he traded it at 40,000 miles for a Tundra. Now he's about ready to get back to a Ram!

    2014 5.7L Knock/Tick/Tap?

    That's one the cleanest 145k engines I've seen. I think you have a lot of miles left in that yet! Good luck!

    $50 REWARD for solution - 97 Laramie 5.9 - DYING

    My son had a S-10 one time that did this. He spent gobs of money trying to fix it by changing parts. He had a new pcm put in it under the dash and that helped stop it for a while. Then the heater core went bad and while the guy was fixing it he found a secondary ground off the pcm that was...

    EcoDiesel No oil pressure

    A new engine at 50,000 miles, wow! Is this a common problem with the Eco Diesel?

    Oil pressure mystery!!

    I've had 2 or 3 engines gunked up like that through the years. I would drop the oil and filter and put in a new filter and 3 quarts of oil and 2 quarts of diesel and run it a while then drain and repeat. You may do 2 quarts oil and 3 quarts diesel first then swap around. May take 3 or 4 times...

    The sensor in the diff. was bad and a bad pin connection on the abs module plug. Got it fixed, thank you!

    Newbie with a ?.

    Bought a 2004 with a blown 5.7 hemi that had sat up for 2 years. I rebuilt the engine and have the truck running and driving fine, but there's a brake light and abs light on that I can't get to go off. Checked all the brake components and they are good, the brakes work great, any ideas on the...
