I have an 82 Dodge Ram 4x4. It has been sitting the majority of the time for the last 8 years. I just bought it from my father, and after getting it I rebuilt the thermoquad carburetor. Its my first carb rebuild I might ad. Well anyways it sputters almost like its missing while light accelerating and cruising. When I hammer the throttle its smooth all the way through the gears. The worst is when I am cruising and I just push the pedal a little farther to gain a little speed or keep it steady over a hill. My vacuum lines are okay, I changed plugs and plug wires, put a new fuel filter on. Nothing has worked yet. My next approach is the distributor, check timing, check and make sure the fuel pump is working properly. Then I'm not entirely sure after that. Anyone have any advice on what to check next or what to check inside the carb to make sure my settings are correct.

I need to change my Dist Cap and rotar for basic tune up.
I would like to know if there is any tricks to reaching it, Since it's basically under the dash and against the fire wall.
I have a 2002 Ram 1500 4x4 SLT.

JEEZ!
Shouldn't a done that......

Playing with some ideas I stopped off at the local Ramseller and looked at the 2012 RAM 1500 BIG HORN QUAD CAB® 4X2 6'4" BOX.
Everything here is sold with 'packages' so this was the top of the line with leather seats.....around $32,000.00 he said.

Made my Dakota seem junky and my Tundra doesn't stand against it too well either. Luxurious.

But, alas, the reason I'd replace my Tundra is in the Dodge; the steering wheel is offset to the left. Just about half the Toyota, but I'd still prefer it centered to my body. Makes steering easier.

i have 99 1500 4x4 318 .when the trucks sits idling the rpms drop the idle gets real lopey and choppy and tries to stall.if you bump the throttle its jumps back up then it does it all over again and it also makes a loud sucking noise in the throttle body.I cleaned the throttle body and replaced the o2 sensor but it still does it.truck has a stick shift but I know of another truck with a 360 auto that does the same thing.any ideas.there are no engine codes.

Old Ram Truck Department:

I have a Ram 1500 1998 5.2 Magnum and I am having problems with the crank shifting forward when in Drive or Reverse. The movement is causing the belt to walk forward and is taking out all components that are attached to it (belt tensioner, fan clutch, etc.) Experts have told me that the motor needs to be replaced because the harmonic balancer cannot be removed from the crank pin.
Any advice or ideas from anyone who've had similar problems??

Im going to be parting out a van and was wondering if it was possible to drop the engine and trans out the bottom?

changed out old timming chain and gears now rus like crap someone give me step by step on setting up chain timing and dis set up please

Got this left from scavenging an old pickup cab. Anyone need that "200" emblem off the right fender? That's about all that's left...

I have an 89' dodge 3/4 ton 4x4 with the Cummins diesel under 450K kms. It has some body rust but the engine and drive train is in excellent cond. Would this truck be worth a complete tear down and restoration. From what I hear, it's the first year they put the Cummins diesel in a 3/4 ton so it might be worth somthing.

have a 99 ram that i want to put an aftermarket tach in. i hooked it up to the tach wire coming out of the pcm but it didn't work.where do i hook it up to or can i just use the cluster from a truck with the tach and have the mileage and everything else work correctly.:eyesbig:

Couple of questions here. In a bad deal that is too ugly to explain I wound up with a 2002 Dodge 1500 truck with 4.7L. engine . I’m a Cummins man NOW, but I understand Most pushrod engines, but not this Mercedes /Dodgified engine. The engine itself is low mileage around 45K. No idea what year the engine is, but it obviously must be CLOSE to the year of the truck because the crank sensor wheel had the right number of teeth and I know they changed that at least once.. There is a tickety tack going on in it and it sounds like it’s in the top end and not concentrated to one cylinder that I can pinpoint. . I know about these engine terrible head gasket issues and I was wondering if there are any other inherent problems with these 4.7’s that cause this problem. It was mentioned to me about rocker studs pushing out???. Are they fussy about quality of oil or viscosity? I am familiar with this sound in Chevy’s vortec that is blamed on the CFI fuel regulator(spider) under the intake, but those engine are not OHC design. . I figured I would head to place that knows to ask. Thanx . Crossy ,
