puzzled.... asalas

Just take the old sensor with you when you return the one that doesn't fit, so that they can match to it.

Believe it or not, in cases like this a dealer is less expensive than all the horsing around, swapping of parts from friends vehicles, etc. you have been doing. Take it to a dealer, get it fixed, and get your mind back on your career. That is what pays the mortgage.
- it is a clatter type of noise, it does not seem like tappet noise or engine knock almost like a diesel clatter
1. it only does it after the motor has cooled down for a few hours
2. it does not do it when the engine is cold
3. it does not do it when the engine is warm (operating temp)
- it does it for about 20 seconds right after start-up. ??
Has anybody heard of this or maybe know what might be the problem????????
Please help!!
Thanks
if your talking about trans.
there not weak its that people over use them. as in towing things in overdrive
if you have a button for on an off for overdrive you sould never tow anything in overdrive.
the overdrive gear is only made of a hard paste.
hope this helps you.
i own a 99 dodge ram i don`t even tow my boat in overdrive.
even in city i turn it off.
take care

If its under 13.0 volts it could be a bad alternator or voltage regulator.

Dodge finally got smart, and like GM they now refer to the "Overdrive Off" switch as the "Tow-Haul Mode."

I had a "ticking" sound in my 2003 dakota 4.7 and it turned out to be a bad viscous fan drive unit. I can't remember the scenario however.
What engine oil are you using? When did this noise begin?
Best regards,
Dusty
Also I checked the remote start when I picked up the truck after they gave up and found that it no longer works. Called them back today to ask for repair of the remote start or all together removal to get it out of the scenario----they never called back. Any ideas and will they warrant the install and parts for the remote start? :confuse:
Regards
Now that its stuck out it may be cocked in the bore you can try using the C clamp gently but it may have a bad seal. If the truck has a fair amout of mileage on it you may be best to get a new pair of rebuilt calipers
Anyway, before paying extra for a new speed sensor, check for problems with this pigtail wiring harness!
Thanks

It's probably the tone ring, or reluctor, that the speed sensor 'reads' to get a signal.
You really need someone with differential experience to listen and diagnose your problem. Your ears can often tell you more than yours eyes with a diff. Could be bad gear alignment, or just as easily a bad bearing.
Where did you find a replacement? I have looked all over the internet and can not seem to find one. Any suggestions?
