    87 5.9 idles high until you goose the throttle

    Hello all. I have an 87 5.9 idles high until you goose the gas pedal. Most of the time it will idle down by itself after it reaches running temp but not always. I had to smog it this year and it did not pass due to high idle. I tried to tell them to goose the peddle but he said it had to be...

    2004 Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi Is Producing Oil Smoke At Idle

    I bought a used truck from marketplace a while ago and didn't see this problem when I was test driving it, good job me. I have now figured out that it is burning a heavy amount of oil when it is idling. If I sit for a minute at idle and then rev the smoke gets forced out of the exhaust and...

    2019 ram 1500 bighorn idle question

    I just bought a 2019 ram 1500 bighorn with 57k miles. I also drive a 2017 ram 1500 tradesman all day that I try to compare it to. Anyway the 2019 I feel it has a slight bump shake feeling at idle thats the best I can explain it atleast. I took it to dodge and they didn’t help at all. They looked...

    2017 5.7 VERY Rough Idle…But only for a minute

    Kind of a weird one here. I did search around on the forum to make sure I wasn’t double posting, but couldn’t find anything quite like what I experienced today. A little background: 2017 Ram 1500 Sport 5.7 Hemi ~85,000 well maintained miles Have always run the “recommended” 5w-20 changed at 7k...

    Big problem

    so I’m hoping someone could point me in the right direction, I think I’m right but just want a second opinion before I go gung-ho. My 06 ram 1500 has had a weird issue while at idle the second it gets warm whether it’s a few minutes in the winter or immediately in the summer the rpm’s will drop...

    Almost growling at idle

    I have a 2016 2500 6.4l hemi. When driving and I come to a stop sign or light there is an almost growling noise coming from what sounds like inside or under the dash. I can fell it slightly in my brake pedal, (keep in mind, when I’m already stopped, not stopping) almost goes away if I turn the...

    Auxiliary Pusher Fan for long Idle (K9 + AC)

    Hello All, From what I have read these trucks (2016 Ram 2500 5.7L Crew Long bed 4x4 SLT) have adequate cooling at idle. However I am planning on running this for extended periods which I have been told on a few different forums (non Ram) that is a bad idea. I have a Search and Rescue K9 that...

    2008 Ram 1500 stuttering after new o2 sensors

    2008 Ram 1500 2 wheel drive 2 door 4.7l flex, 110000 miles. I've owned this truck for about 5 years and it has always weird little gremlins that pop up. For instance I've had the tire light come on at random a few times. I pulled over and the tires where fine, then the truck wouldn't start...

    Idle down and stall

    So I have a 99 360 4x4 quad cab. It sat in a field for 6 years and I brought her back to life and drove her home. She has all new O2 sensors, new IAC valve bad gas is gone. I've been alternating barrymans and seabfoam for the past 3 gas station visits. She had had a tune up and oil change. All...

    Engine "freezes" over-night

    I drive a 97 ram 1500 5.2L and recently while driving the battery fell onto the serpentine belt because the holder broke. It made a hole in the battery and got acid all over. Now it will only start after cranking the engine over and over for about 10 or so minutes. (With breaks in between...

    2003 Dodge Ram 5.7 Red Lightning Bolt

    I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 hemi. It will sporadically start idling funny and the red lightning bolt will pop up and I have absolutely no power, shut it off and restart and I will run fine until it does it again could be an hour or a week. I have taken to one mechanic who replaced the...

    Weekly Shifting?

    So the truck sits for a around a week most of the time or even up to 15 days sometimes before being started. Over 6k miles. I run Redline 5W20 (going on a full year). Based off how often I drive I'll be conducting yearly oil changes with 5W-20 (not the 5W-30 because that may be too thick for...

    Surging idle after overnight cold soak

    I am new to owing a Ram so I am not familiar with what is normal for these trucks. When I first start up after letting the truck sit overnight the idle surges/searches for a few seconds before it smooths out. It runs fine afterwards and doesn't have the wondering idle again until the next...

    New Ram Owner

    hey, so I just bought a 97 5.9 Laramie ext cab, runs beautifully while driving, however on first start of the day, if I keep it parked idling it starts to sputter and makes almost a screeching sound, can’t pinpoint it. Any ideas? Also the bed or cab sounds like it’s squeaking on the frame a...

    Rough Idle, Misfires, Rough acceleration, any help?

    I got a 2012 5.7 Hemi. Got my truck back from the shop and it's been misfiring since. They replaced a leak in the manifolds that was causing the tick and the tick is gone now. They also replaced the o2 wiring harness from the injectors all the way down to the o2 sensors and replaced both...

    Oil Pressure/Temp about right?

    So I just did my RAM's first oil change. Switched to Red Line 5W20 and Royal Purple Filter. I'm sure we all feel this way after an oil change, but it seems SO MUCH SMOOTHER. Even after only having 3k miles I swear the Hemi tick is gone...what little bit I did have I can almost not even notice...

    No idle when cold.

    I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi that I just rebuilt. I added a Lunati cam but everything else is stock. The ECM was reprogrammed to work with the cam and everything has been running great until a few days ago. The truck will not idle when it's cold, it will start strong then die right...

    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...

    Engine runs/idles rough, doesn't burn fuel completely

    Hello, I just got this truck, a 1985 D150 318(5.2L) 2WD. Pretty vanilla truck but it's marvelous. Long story short, it was running fine until one morning I got in it and it was idling roughly (loaded and unloaded) and it isn't burning all the fuel, puking (definitely) gas out the exhaust. It...

    Dodge Ram Rough Idle but runs perfect?

    I have a 1995 dodge ram 2500 V10 4x4. It has the 47re transmission. In stop and go traffic it has a weird idle issue where it idles fine, then when you just every so slightly tap the gas it dips from 600rpm to 200rpm then slowly climbs back up to normal. This is really annoying in stop and go...
