So I have a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2L two wheel drive that I purchased from a close friend that he parked for 10-12 years, it was parked back when gas prices where $4-$5 a gallon. It would not start, it was completely out of fuel and the fuel pump was bad. I removed and cleaned the gas tank before replacing the fuel pump and installing it back on the truck. I replaced the battery, had to replace the alternator as well, and it fired and started right up. It has a good size hole in the exhaust pipe, from just sitting and corrosion, on the left rear exhaust pipe above the exhaust. I have been making repairs to the brake system and a lot of other minor repairs while letting the truck run but it is progressively running worse and now it seems like it may only be running on 5-6 cylinders. I did a complete tune up on the truck when i replaced the fuel pump and marked every plug wire, I doubled and triple checked everything before putting it back together but it still runs really rough and if I hit the throttle a little hard I can hear a pop noise coming from the engine area like it’s coming out of the old school chrome K&N air filter/air cleaner assembly mounted on top of the throttle body. I’ve been a mechanic for 20+ years now but I’m struggling with this truck and due to overwhelming circumstances in my life right now this will be my daily driver and I just need it to be dependable. I appreciate any feedback from anyone, thank you.

Ok if you think it is missing from 2 cylinders do a spark test to see where the misfire is then when you would of done that and if you do have spark at all the cylinders do a compression test on the ones that you don't hear a change in the running of the engine,and also if your check engine light is on her it scan to pin point the problem I hope this helps you

I have recently picked up a 1999 Ram 1500 4x4 with 5.9. The instrument panel says od off. When I push the button nothing happens? Overdrive isn't working. How do I troubleshoot this?

The OD fuse may have opened or it could be speed sensor failure. The OD off state also could be an indication of transmission trouble.

1999. 5.9l. It starts but why does it bog down?

A common problem is the engine being fuel starved due to a failing fuel pump, regulator or plugged fuel filter - cannot keep up with engine demand..

Electronic Throttle Control light

I took my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi to a mechanic that works from a garage at his home, recommended by a friend of mine. He removed and cleaned the throttle body and sensor(s?), then reinstalled them, and then disconnected both battery cables and held them together for 2 minutes so that the engine controller could reboot with the factory default settings, then reconnected them. I had bought a can of throttle body cleaner on my way over to his house for about $3.00. He charged me $40.00 for the job. This was done mid-February, about 10 weeks and 2500 miles ago. So far, the problem Has Not happened again, the truck has been running great!

2006 dodge ram 5.7 litre hemi serpentine belt diagram

A diagram should already be available inside the hood on the radiator support of the fan covering. If not, follow this link: https://skippingtheinbetween.blogspot.com/2017/03/30-2006-dodge-ram-1500-serpentine-belt.html. Basically, if the pulleys are grooved, the belt ribs ride on it, and if the pulley is smooth, the backside rides on it.

I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 code P0443 code came on code p0455 code was on I replace the purge valve then the code p0443 came on

code p0443=It's whining about the control circuit for the purge valve. Make sure you are getting power to the valve, and you see 12 volts on the control side as well. code p0445 might be just a gas cap problem.

Since the tires are a different size than the computer is programmed for that could be the problem right there. U cant fool the computer.
