Unlikely unless on of the loose bolts is the ground point for the battery
run the fault codes
could be crank or cam position sensors from bad harness connections

you sure its not the breather tube for the t-case. about 3/8 hose if it is. the vacuum lines for the 4x4 are small plastic lines. red, blue, yellow, etc. think there are four of them

SOURCE: I have a 97 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2 that wont start

COULD BE A BAD FUEL PUMP EVEN THOUGH ITS NEW, TRY THE FUSES IN THE MAIN FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD, ALSO TRY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY CABLES FOR ABOUT 5 MINS, LASTLY IT MAY BE THE ECM [computer on fire wall]
HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEWHAT

SOURCE: Does a dodge ram 1500 have a cam or crank censor?

The 3.9L 5.2L and 5.9L engine use the distributor assembly as your cam sensor . The crank sensor is on right rear attached to engine block (behind cylinder head)

What have you done for diagnostics so far? Is the engine light on? Did the ECM store any codes? Besides the current symptoms, was there anything else you can add to this issue ( like, did it happen out of nowhere, happens when its cold, hot, wet). I need more info, several things can cause a no start. But in your discription it sounds like a vacuum leak, I.A.C.valve, TPS sensor, or maybe map or maf sensor. But it is crazy to go further until you can run some diagnostic test and narrow down, the cause of your problem. I can say that it sounds like it is related to the ECM and when you disconnect the battery, it is putting the ECM into default, and as the vehical is running it senses the fault and causes the engine to die. Try to provide some engine codes if possible.

How do I adjust the timing on a 2001 Dodge Ram

There is no adjustment for the timing on a 2001 dodge ram 1500 4x4 5.2 liter . and the most likely cause on th eother problem is the abs speed sensor on the rear differential it is bolted to the top of the differential housing with a 10mm bolt remove it slowly in a twisting motion and put new differential grease on the o-ring slide it in and bolt it down and remeber to clear all codes or the sensor will run off of old paremeters

Changed manual clutch in a 2000 dodge ram 1500 2wd v6 truck got it back together now it turns over but won't crank

Do you mean that the engine will not fire or run? If that is what you mean, When you replaced the clutch you may have damaged the Crank shaft position sensor. It is located on the passengers side of the engine. where the Bell housing and engine block are bolted together, Just above where the exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe meet. It is bolted to the engine block with 2 bolts. If you do not know it is there and even if you do it is easy to damage.

My husband is trying to fix my 04 dodge ram 1500 4.7l, the computer says to replace the crank sensor and or cam sensor. the crank sensor was replaced a month ago. it wont stay running. but he doesnt know...

On the 4.7L, the cam position sensor is located on the right cylinder head (thats the passenger side) toward the front below the valve cover gasket. Not on the front of the head but on the side where the exhaust manifold is attched at the forward end of the head. The crankshaft position sensor is located on the same side (right) but is at the opposite end of the engine between the bell housing and the block. The crankshaft position sensor can be replaced without removing the engine or transmission, it just looks tight. Also, on the crankshaft position sensor, it slides out of a rubber gromet. Here's a few pics to help. hotrodshop.gifhotrodshop_0.gif
