P0296 Cylinder 12 Contribution/Range Fault
Is triggered when the Power Train Control Module (PCM) detects that the acceleration rate of the crankshaft for Cylinder #12 was less than a calibrated amount. During normal conditions the PCM turns the Fuel Injectors ON and OFF in the Fuel Injection System.
Symptoms:
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Engine Misfire
- Engine Run Rough
- Low MPG

Possible Causes:
- Fuel Injector #12
- Faulty or Corroded Fuel Injector #12 Connector
- Plugged #12 Fuel Injector
- Dirty #12 Fuel Injector

Possible Solution:
- Clean Fuel Injector #12 Connector
- Clean Fuel Injector #12
- Replaced Fuel Injector

P0298 - Engine Oil Over Temperature Condition
Indicates the Engine Oil Temperature Protection (EOT) strategy in the Power Train Control Module (PCM) has been activated. This temporarily prohibits high engine speed operation by disabling injectors, reducing the risk of engine damage from high engine oil temperature. Note: On engines which are equipped with an oil temperature sensor, the PCM reads oil temperature to determine if it is excessive. When an oil temperature sensor is not present, the PCM uses an oil algorithm to infer actual temperature. Engine shutdown strategy function is the same on vehicles with and without oil temperature sensors.

Symptoms:
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Lack/Loss of Power
- Engine Surge

P0298 is set when the vehicle has been running below 1,000 rpm and less than 20 mg/stroke MFDES with EOT sensor signal reading above 110C (230F). The time to set the fault is dependent on EOT and Intake Air Temperature (IAT) temperatures, and can vary between approx. 15 to 45 minutes

Possible Causes:
- Very high engine RPM for an extended period of time.
- Overheating condition.
- Malfunction EOT sensor or circuit (vehicles w/EOT sensor).

Possible Solution:
1. Inspect EOT sensor circuitry at sensor and PCM. Inspect for damage, loose or pushed-out pins, loose or poorly crimped wires
2. If connectors are ok check cooling system, radiator, fan/clutch operation, thermostat
3. If cooling system is ok carry out KOEO On-Demand Self Test
4. If other fault codes are present after test repair them, if only P0298 is present clear codes
5. Let vehicles sit for 8 hours and then KOEO
6. Monitor EOT in live data
7. If EOT sensor reading is above 110*C(230*F) replace sensor
8. IF EOT is below 110*C check continuous memory DTCs
9. If P0298 is present replace PCM

Hope helps (remember rated and comment this).

Right front bearing bad

yes u can use any prestone.

But i highly recommend draining all prestone out and running just regular green antifreeze
the prestone tends to collect more derbis and breaks down quicker which clogs passages and causes problems such as blown head gaskets (it was designed to be better than green antifreeze but in real life it worst ) ask any mechanic that dealt with the stuff and will tell u the same

no i dnt think there is a fuse just for the odometer...is everything else working?

this may be under warrenty, have you talked to dealer? this is not a fuse problem it is cluster or module related takes in depth look with alot of reference material. did you check for trouble codes? let me know !!!

factor defeact the deal here had to change out motors and swicths and something else

jack up truck support truck remove brake caliper and support the caliper dont let it hang by the hose remove cotter pin from bottom of ball joint remove castle nut from ball joint use ball joint press to push ball joint up and out then use press to push in new ball joint make sure you grease them when you are finished both uper and lower press up and out.

on the intake manifold passenger side near the front i think

well knowing Dodge as well as i .....dooo.Yes! it probably did fall off! i seen some really sorry work come out of their plants over the years and yes you need to replace it also EGR valve should be on the back side of the intake manifold

You will need a warning cancellation kit with a built in transistor.

i believe you have to turn the key to the accessory but dont start it. then you push the button in and hold it.

worn suspension components, like bushings loose fittings components tuching frame

After all is said and done, you may pick up 10% increase in power, and it will sound better. If that's worth it to you, go for it. If you did all this AND added a computer chip, you may increase mid range up to 20 %. But you're going to spend some bucks. It's really a judgement call. I've done this exact same thing before, and it looks and sounds better, but you really need a V-8 to make the difference. If you still want to do it, write back and I will give you the best brands for each.

if it is a 2008, take it back for warranty

It might be as simple as having the computer reflashed for canada and adding a relay. I would think the bcm will have to be programmed for sure
