I don't know where you live but most states do have lemon laws. Most attorneys will give an initial consultation at little or no cost and let you know if you have any options, just find one that specializes in lemon law.
Am I missing something or is this struggle normal? This is the first vehicle I have owned with rear disk brakes so I am a little unsure of myself but I've done my own brake work for the last 25 years and never struggled like this!
I just accquired a 2001 Ram 2500 SLT. 2wd, 5.9 well equipped. 24,000 KM. The truck has been in storage since '01. After installing a new battery, it is impossible to get passed the security system in this truck. Three dealerships have ran the serial number (vin) and determined that it does NOT have a passive key.
Using a Snap-on MT2500 scanner, there is "no communication" with the "body" ecm. A Chrysler tech brought out a DRB chrysler box, and could not access the security system. We have chased down numerous wires in the schematics, to no avail. yet, the security light keeps flashing, the truck will only run for 2-3 seconds after starting, before shutting down.
A new BCM is coming in the morning, we are going to try this tomorrow evening. Locking and unlocking the doors has no effect on the security system...anyone have any ideas or simillar problems?
Thank you

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check near where the exhaust leads from the engine and there may be an unhooked sensor dangling.
I am 32 yrs old and just got my first New truck... Never had a new vehicle...I got myself a pretty good one I think... Its a 2500 Dodge Quad/Screaming Yellow,With the High out put 5.9 Liter Cummins and Manual 6 Speed Trans.
2wd.
OK Here is my question...I got this truck for a steal... Only paid 28,000 for it at Lithia Dodge In Grapevine,Tx...I wanted a Dually But wasnt in the cards I guess...I dont need the One Ton Hauling or Towing capacity...I just wanted the Dually look and Stability that the extra wheels give when hauling a Fifth wheel or goosekneck.
I have seen the Dually Conversion Kits and They seem Pretty Simple to Install...
If I was to get one Would It cause any problems with my differentials? Would My current Axle be able to spin those 2 extra wheels and not destroy anything in the process?
Any one willing to help me on this would be a saint in my book...I am not however asking if I should do it...I am going to if it will not tear anything up.
I just want to know what the Rammifacations would be...Fuel Economy...Mechanical damage and so forth.
I would also like to say...I own a company Here in Bedford TX in which I Relocate R/Vs Autos & Boats...So I will be using this Quite often as it is why I purchased this powerful truck.
Thank you in advance.

I just simply tightened the band up after making sure it was secure...I then had no more problems.

Hope this will be helpful.
I am not quite sure what my axle is ...I have the slt 2500 with 5.9 High Output 6 speed manual trans 2 wheel drive ...
Other than the fact that it pulls 7,000 like its nothing at 63 mph with 16.9 MPG.
I believe you have been very helpful with your information.
I really appreciate that..
Any other useful info on better intake set ups and eguahst systems for better mpgs and of course nice sound and look...?
If So please let me know.
Thanks again,
Scott
