I was watching a motor show and they said more than likely Dodge will be
dropping the Cummins engine from the dodge truck line in favor of a Mercedes
diesel sometime around 2010 after the Cummins contract expires.

Hey Everyone,
Dirtclod here again with yet another question.  In my 2000 CTD 2500
4X4,  the driver side map light broke.  The small spring in the swith
has broken or came out.  I had the dealer order a new one but I can't

My problem started as a nuisance and progressively worsened into a
disabled vehicle.
I have a 1994 Dodge B2500 Ram Van, 3.9 L, MPFI with 88k.  A few months
ago it would occasionally crank excessively and finally fire up.  I

My hubby took the day off, and while driving the truck first the radio
intermittently cut out (display and sound)... driving it a bit later the
radio cut out again, then completely, and he noticed the turn signals

There has been a small discussion in another thread about giving our buddy
Snowidiot a new, more fitting moniker. Myself, I kinda like the name "Anus"
but I'm sure there are many other qualified suggestions out there. Speak up
everybody and may the most popular moniker stick.

Where can I find information on identifying automatic transmissions? I
have one running in my 94 that's going bad and I have a "spare" tranny,
but I want to know what it is. It is suppose to be an A998/99 out of an
89, but I'm not sure.

I have a 93 Dakota 2wd auto 3.9, that lately has been hunting in and out of
O/D, right around 50-55 mph. Any quick thoughts??

Well should say was seized.. BUT now It starts then shuts off .. no fuel.
The guy I bought it from flooded the engine so much that after he ran it 10
min it seized.. well I get the truck and like to tinker so I  take all the
plugs out and dump some diesel fuel.. let sit 4 hours, ...

Gentlemen All:
I am considering the purchase of a 1 or 2 year old 2500 series Ram diesel,
probably with the 4 door cab.  I would like some feedback about whether or
not to shop for the automatic or just have some fun with the 6 speed.  What

I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 4x4, 108,000KM, 5.2L with the 4-speed
automatic tranny.  A while back, I went through a total mess with the
dealership I bought it from (non-dodge), the problem was that it
wouldn't stay in overdrive.  They replaced the overdrive solenoids, the

Motor runs but seat doesn't move.  Haynes book stops at testing motor
for current which it has.  Is there something simple like a shear pin?
It looks like it runs with a cable.

Ok gentlemen, here is a question from a Canadian Gal. I have a 2001
Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 5.2L (had him since birth). He has recently
developed a rough idle when first starting. Give him a couple minutes
to even out, then runs fine. I've had an entire tune-up done within the

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP AND WANT TO BUY A SET OF 4 FACTORY
POLISHED ALUMINUM 20" WHEELS, WITH OR WITHOUT TIRES. WHEELS NEED TO HAVE THE
CENTER CAPS, LUG NUTS ARE A PLUS. CASH WAITING.

Later I'll post about my first real (sort of) four wheel drive
experience in the Australian Outback (great fun!), but for now:
(2001 Dodge Dakota SLT, 4x4)
I'd been noticing on this trip that my truck has a strong smell of
