Hi I have an 88 dodge ramcharger 5.2 318 my problem is that it sounds like my truck is misses firing and when you step on the gas to go it putts really but I've changed the coil cap rotor wires and still get the same thing if fine before but its staring to get bad some dodge expert said to change my resistor but I couldn't find it on the fire or fender. Help me please

if you are talking about the trans no! the 2wd trans has a longer output shaft than the 4x4 you can have the shaft changed so that it can work if you are having trouble finding a trans.

Pull the coil wire out of center of distributor cap and lay it close to where you unpluged it from distributor cap, and turn over engine if coil is good you will see the spark jump. If no spark coil bad.

SOURCE: ballast resistor location

should be on the firewall...can't remember which side but I think its on driver side It's ceramic rectangle with four wires. (I had one and just can't picture where exactly it was.) One tip though, when you put it back on, use some high temp silicone around top and side edges, leave bottom open. They usually fail from water dripping down and cracking resistor (gets hot).

check the crankshaft sensor

SOURCE: i have an 88 ramcharger, with a 318. trans slips

sorry but there is no adjustment for slipping,the only adjustments are for band adjustments.
