check for clutch slippage --and when charging system was it done at idle [which is incorrect ] or at raised rpms may be low on freon

dealer not interested in your problem low vacuum at idle ( normally 15 inches of mg) indicates problem intake valves check the valve clearance ( .010"intake hot .012" exhaust hot) you can set it the same cold as the settings will change but still be within specs for the hydraulic followers to compensate the firing order could have 2 ht leads crossed and that will also cause low vacuum

Usually a wiring problem - the wiring on your truck connector may not match the pinout on the trailer plug.

I'd suspect that the gauge is just tired. Check the voltage at the battery with a multi meter while the engine is running. At idle, if you are anywhere near 14V (13.8-14.5) you are fine.

Check crankshaft sensor.

Fly Wheel Pitch Gone

100 PSI is way to low, I think you have a burnt valve. Check the cylinder compression on all cylinders, no cylinder should be 5% lower than the highest cylinder pressure measured or the engine will run rough or misfire.

the idle air control is on the back of the throttle body. it has a plug going to it and is held to the throttle body with 2 screws

Hi Dennis if there's difficulty changing gear. Or if it slips under pressure like going up a hill the motor revs up but the speed of the vehicle dosent change. Regards Jim...

you have a bad earth somewhere

cluster or bus wires going down, test bus voltage to cluster,if reference voltage ok to cluster then internally a cluster issue,best place to start diagnosis.

check the under hood fuse block/relay box,ive seen these go bad, i see you said starter was checked how was it check .also check to see if getting power to starter when you turn to crank,will have to have friend help you,if the test light lights up,give that starter a big smack with bfh! is there a sercurity light coming on and staying on,if so check your key,it could be worn out.there is a starter relay that controls starting is this a stck or auto,good luck,mike

2000 dodge ram 2500 truck 4wd the abs light and air bag light were on then the check engine light went on then all of a sudden all the gauges and warning lights went dead and off including the tach and other gauges. But now all the gauges are working and the check engine light went off with all the others and the tach and other gauges are working. what is the problem with this truck ? The only code it read was p1687 from the dtc. Is the problem the pcm or something else.

Is it auto or manual?? If it's manual I would say your clutch has thrown in the towel, if it's auto if could be transmission oil dirty and will need replacing, hope this helps

No fuel in tank , bad transfer pump, test suction 12 inches hg min. hole in suction hose tank to pump.

crank timing censor went bad on mine I had the same simtoms

I assume you checked and are missing spark? have you unplugged the cam sensor and tried to start? I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

On some vehicles these two systems are on the same fuse, check manual for location, failing that sounds like something has come un plugged, good luck

PLZ BE SURE PUMP IS PROPERLY PRIMED AND NO FUEL LEAKS THROUGHOUT SYSTEM. Hope this helps
