    Frustrated... 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L "Missing"

    Sir, I have hesitated sending a reply out of sheer embarrassment. I feel like I may have to turn in my man card after what transpired. A friend of the family who owns the truck came into town for a month or so and is staying with the 83 year old owner of the truck. After many days of brutally...

    I don’t have a computer to check it but the check engine light is on. I am heading over there now to give it a once over. Thanks for your help, I’ll keep you posted.

    Frustrated... 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L "Missing"

    Greetings and salutations... Because of health and weather issues I had not had the chance to get back under the hood of the truck until yesterday. I pulled #1 plug and turned the engine to TDC, rotor was pointing to #1 cylinder, installed the cap, traced the wires and attached them.., and it...

    I didn't see your quote until after I sent the message... LOVE the analogy. Here is my signature on Twitter... "When all the guns have been banned. When all the words have been censored.

    Thank you for your wisdom... 1. Yes, first I found a small broken wire that comes off the alternator and appears to go to the fuel injector to cylinder #3. I spliced the wire together and started the truck, it still ran rough. 2. Next I took the cap off and made sure that the #1 cylinder was...

    Funny you should say that... I had the owners son in law helping me and he connected the wires to the distributor... we/he triple checked them, but honestly now that you say that, I am not positive. I am going to pop the cap off and make sure #1 is going to the #1 on the cap this afternoon...

    Frustrated... 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L "Missing"

    I had not delved into the fuel system, nor even thought of it as a cause because the truck ran great right up to the minute it ... well, didn't. That issue was fixed by the cam sensor, rotor and cap (assuming the main culprit was the cam sensor) being replaced but 100% sure that issue was...
