    Disabling ESC (Electronic Stability Control)

    Thanks for the helps guys. I think he was hoping there would be an easier way. Like hold the ESC button longer etc. I know about disabling the ESC in 4x4. But immediately went back on once he put it back in 2WD. But I’ll let him know. Thanks for the help guys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Disabling ESC (Electronic Stability Control)

    Hey guys, it’s been a while since I’ve been on the Forum. Typically I’m seeking help or guidance on my aging 2003 Ram 1500. But today I’m asking for a buddy of mine who has a 2018 Dodge Ram Power Wagon. He’s been trying to figure out if you can totally disable the ESC (Electronic Stability...

    Rear Main Seal

    UnfortunateIy no. I had other priorities that needed my attention.. Right now it’s not high on my priority list. It’s very slow leaking and hasn’t gotten worse. But I need to address my no heat issue first since I’ve had almost no heat for a few years now. Gets bitter cold this time of year...

    '03 Ram 1500 Fluid Leak

    Hey guys, I need a little help again. I asked for help regarding how to take the bed off my '03 Ram 1500 4.7 a bit before August hit. It's is all done now. I'll try posting some pics hopefully within the next couple of weeks of that repair. But for now I seem to have a more critical issue. My...

    ‘03 Ram 1500 Bed Removal

    Hey guys, it’s been a while since I’ve been on the Forum, but I need some help. First off, I hope I’m posting in the right section. If not, I apologize. My issue is my truck bed has severely rotted front and middle cross members. The left front of the bed near the cab is actually not held down...

    '03 Ram 1500 4.7 ABS/Parking Brake Waning Lamp

    Thought I'd give you guys an update. Been nice here as of late. And I used my truck the other day to move something to the garage. And low and behold my issue seems to have fixed itself. I had no jumping speedo or ABS/Parking Brake light on. Not sure if I had an condensation issue or whatnot...

    '03 Ram 1500 4.7 ABS/Parking Brake Waning Lamp

    Yeah, I'm thinking it's probably some sensors. Only because this issue started while my truck was just sitting in the yard for about 2 weeks. So I'm assuming it's probably some sensor/s too. Thanks for the reply guys. I'll keep ya posted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    '03 Ram 1500 4.7 ABS/Parking Brake Waning Lamp

    Hey guys, back with another problem with my '03 Ram 1500 4.7. Honestly, this truck just baffles and frustrates me. But hopefully with a bit of help from the Forum community, I can figure this issue out. So the issues I'm having is that both my ABS and Parking Light are both lit up. And what's...

    Blinking E-Brake Light

    Thanks for the reply. But I don't think the cable is the problem seeing I don't use the parking brake cause it's not connected at the back end. And what's strange is that it wasn't blinking the last time I used the truck. Which was about a week and a half ago. Why it would just start blinking...

    Blinking E-Brake Light

    Hey guys, need a bit of help here. So the last time I used my truck was about a week and half ago. When I used it everything was working fine. Then this morning I go to warm up my truck to go to work and notice my E-Brake light is flashing in my ( '03 Ram 1500 4.7 ). Thinking it was an...

    '03 Ram 1500 4.7 Overheating

    Thanks for all the help guys. But the problem is finally solved. I had an appointment to go see my mechanic today and he decided to try doing a rad flush. So when he went to flush it the water exiting the rad wasn't coming out much. He continued to try flushing it out for the next 10-15 minutes...

    '03 Ram 1500 4.7 Overheating

    Hey guys, sorry it took me so to get back with an update. I've been running around trying to get this thing solved. Anyhow, I changed the t-stat with the recommendation of another mechanic, (Not Mine). And that didn't change a thing. Truck still hovers about 3/4 of the way on the gauge and goes...

    '03 Ram 1500 4.7 Overheating

    Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can lead me in the right direction with this issue here. My truck is a '03 Ram 1500 4.7, and since I've had it (About 2-3 Years), it's run very well until today. It started earlier this afternoon, I was hauling my 19ft Prowler camper and all of a sudden I heard a...

    '03 Ram 1500 Trailer Wiring Electrical Gremlins

    Just thought I'd give everyone a little update here. After doing some more diagnosis, and getting my mechanic to double check my theory. It is indeed the left trailer turn/brake relay that was bad. The left/right turn relays both make two distinctively different sounds when their on. Plus my...

    '03 Ram 1500 Trailer Wiring Electrical Gremlins

    I agree with that RonJon. So I think I'll probably end up going that route if I can't figure it out. Cheaper then buying a new IPM as you stated. Do you know where I could buy this harness for the 7pin, (Link)..?

    '03 Ram 1500 Trailer Wiring Electrical Gremlins

    Hey guys, need some help here. I've researched online for this problem and even tried to troubleshoot it myself, but no luck. The problem I'm having is I don't have power for my left turn/brake light at my 7-way factory trailer plug in on my '03 Ram 1500 QC. I have an adaptor that plugs into the...

    No Heat, '03 Ram 1500

    Update: I got my coolant system drained, heater core flushed, and a new thermostat installed. And I'm happy to say I have way better heat now. It's not really hot but at least I won't freeze. Mechanic suspects I still have air in the system, and he valiantly tried several technics for a couple...

    Popping in front end(I believe)

    Does it do it while turning, or only as you describe..?

    No Heat, '03 Ram 1500

    Topping off the coolant to the correct level didn't help. It was a bit low, so I topped it off as per my mechanic's first suggestion. But no luck. So I'm going with his second suggestion and I'm going to get a new t-stat put in and get a full system flush and fill. Hopefully that'll cure the...

    No Heat, '03 Ram 1500

    Thanks for the information guys. But I'm going to try and do a couple cheaper fixes first before I venture into the blend door realm. I'm hoping either a new t-stat or a rad flush/fill will cure the problem. I'll keep everyone updated.

    No Heat, '03 Ram 1500

    That's actually not my temperature gauge, it's an online picture I took from the web. I just wanted to know if the needle position in this picture is representative to where it should be at operating temp. Mine today when I checked it was in between the lower line and the middle line. Then again...

    LSD's

    I think you pretty much answered your own question there. The tag on the diff housing/axle. Or jacking the rear end up a spinning the wheels would tell you.
