    Help. Crank Sensors Keep Blowing. Getting REAL tired of changing them.

    the crank position sensor again. yes, blind job and cut fingers I can't wait. mine just blew AGAIN tonight thankfully as I was turning into the driveway. but not happy. it's a good thing I can do this with my eyes closed. tip for others: get a piece of plywood and put it across the front of...

    5.2l engine stalled out while driving

    I can't believe it may be the crank position sensor again! what could be causing that sensor to go. what tools can you use to get to the 2 bolts on it? from underneath you can see it but not reach it. from top you can reach but cannot see it. I'd hate to buy a 90.00 or more sensor and have it...

    1996 OBD Code 22. I have analog odometer.

    5.2litre engine. I must have one of the last of the pre-obd-II ram 1500 2wds automatics. I have the 46re transmission. Related to another post I have, I keep getting a 22 code from the computer. I changed both temp senders on top of the engine block and ever since then I've got the code. I...

    Can Hear Air Sucking Hiss when I Try to Start it

    my 1996 ram 1500 overheated. I didn't have a temp sensor wouldn't you know and apparently I need one in case hoses spring a leak. anyway, I replace both temperature sensors and the crank position sensor. It started up very laboriously with a lot of hissing and the first time it started then...

    No Start After Changing Coolant Temp Sensor

    I had a coolant hose leak which I fixed and noticed that the sensor on the passenger side on top of the block was corroded. so I removed & replaced it. then I tried to plug in the sensor towards the driver side and it was brittle & broke. without too much effort on it. I'm going to replace...

    How Do I Adjust Caster on my 1996 Ram 1500?

    my right passenger tire is wearing on the outside of the tire. I did my own alignment and eliminated the pull to the right. if I let go of the wheel it goes nice & straight on level surfaces. I see a long bolt at the top plate that holds the upper ball joint. it looks like there are two nuts...

    Help! Cabin Leak - Passenger Front Floor - Out of Options

    well I've tried everything I can think of. I have a leak in my truck that seems to get the carpet sopping wet on the passenger side front. however, there's no Trace of the carpet being wet trailing in from the rear or from the front or from the hump. It's just as if the puddle appears in the...

    Idle Variation When Letting Off Gas

    decided to make a seperate post for this. my 96 2wd 5.2l when I drive everything is fine. my idle is steady and no check engine codes. however, very specifically, when I let off the gas over 45mph, the truck idle will drop 200rpm or so, then rise back up. it will do this until my road speed...

    Gen Light illuminated

    Upon driving home yesterday my gen light came on. Although I'm sure it refers to the alternator, what should I check before assuming the alternator is having a problem? Upon returning home I shut the vehicle off for about 30 seconds then restarted it on the Gen light did not illuminate. I'm...

    The RPMs drop low then return When decelerating driving without pedal

    This is not a problem at this time but I feel it could be a problem. Truck idles fine sitting still or in park and when I give it gas it seems to accelerate fine, however, when I let off the gas doing any speed at all even 20 miles per hour, RPMs and idle drop very low while I'm coasting then...

    Bouncing/Vibration at 45mph

    originally I found my drivers side left tire belt seperating. I replaced both front tires thinking that had to be the cause. of course the ride is better now, but, at 45mph I still have a bouncing. my new tires were balanced so that shouldn't be an issue. I replaced the passenger side inner...

    Computer throwing 43 code. but, not all the time.

    I think I narrowed this down. I listed this in a post I made titled "several minor issues" but, this is more specific when I start the engine cold, MOST the time (90%) I get no check engine / 43 code. (only code it throws. however, when I stop (like go into a store, fuel up, etc. .) I...

    Several Minor Issues

    I'm just sorta making a list here. have a few things since 2nd Gen is new to me. 1) emergency brake: how do you adjust it? just no holding power and pedal just springs back up instead of locking 2) obd-I reader - where can you get one or is there a new one with obd-I capability? I believe the...

    Engine Idle at normal operating temperature

    When I idle my engine at initial startup it idles at normal speed around 1,000 RPMs however, after it warms up and I come to a stop at a street light it goes really low it settles in around 400 RPMs. almost stalls it seems. I'm wondering if that's normal or if there's a way to adjust the idle...

    Tapping or Clicking Noise

    I've noticed a slight tapping or Clicking sound coming from the engine. at first it sounded mostly like a belt with a warp in it or like a shred tapping as it cycled its path. belt is OK though. I think it's a valve tap but not sure. can hear it on the driver side better. it doesn't get louder...

    A/C Was Working, Then Stopped blowing cold

    I tried a recharge, but, the meter on the AC recharge (low side port) pegs and it won't take anything. a/c repairs are not my strong point. if I were to guess, I'd say a valve stuck closed or stopped working. when I did the water pump I just set the compressor to the passenger side of the...

    Cruise Control Not Engaging

    I'm not sure if it's the button controls or connections, etc. when I turn it on I get the green light on the button on the steering wheel but nothing else happens when I try to engage it. I've never debugged one of these. not that it should matter but, its a 1996 dodge ram 1500 5.2l. rr

    Just Curious - Fan Shroud

    what difference does it make running without a fan shroud? is it essential in cooling or more for protection when you open the hood? I suspect both but, just wondered about running the truck without it. rr

    1996 5.2 No Start but cranks fine

    I bought the truck and it ran fine but, noticed the water pump was leaking and red atv on the heater tube. replaced the water pump and fan clutch and put everything back together. Went smoothly so I thought. Went to crank it to test it and only get crank but no spark at the plug. I can't...
