Thanks Arjay
ill will try to keep u posted on what happens
(2) Just recently while travelling down the interstate at about 60mps the truck lost pulling power as if the fuel was just shut of momentairly then returned to normal.. I have replaced the fuel filter and also added water rerover in the tank with no difference..I can accelerate fairly agressively when it is in the lost power and it makes no difference until it recovers... Any suggestions..
Thanks
Billy
Tach was about 850 RPM .After about 10 seconds and pumping the accelerator petal
took off again.I lost power 1 more time about 5 minutes later for a second or two.
Made it back to the shop ,about 40 miles, no trouble. Had Friend check codes
P2121 P2122. He reset. drove home about 35 miles no problem.
Next morning drove about 200 yards Light comes on again loose throttle response for about 2 seconds then runs find rest of the day. Same codes P2121, P2122.
Reset again. no problem for 3 or 4 days. Then leaving for work same thing happens about 1/4 mile from home this time. After several stops I notices Check Engine Light is Off. Later that day light comes on loose throttle response for a second or two. Then I try to set Cruise Control will not set. Cruise Light comes on it just will not Engage. Later that same day light goes off cruise works fine.
Every day or two same thing happens light come on loose throttle response for a second or two, after a while light goes off.
I've had truck since new 292,000 miles. Replaced Lift pump with in the tank unit about 1 Year ago. Any Ideals?
I also have a Crew that drives the 3500 with 4.10 ratio and only gets about 12-13 mpg on average.
If you don't tow something all the time, I recommend the 3.73 for fuel mileage. Most Dodges come standard with Tow/Haul mode on the gear shift and you can manually shift the automatic transmission when climbing steep grades. The exhaust brake will slow you on downhill slopes too.
I hurried to get the Megacab while it was still offered. I was told they were going to discontinue it in 2010. If you can get a Megacab 2010, I strongly recommend. The back seat area is huge! Hope this helps... Stay with Cummins Power...
I get 17 if I keep it under 2000RPM's but if I touch 2100 RPM I immediatly drop to 12-13
When I tow anything from my 5000lb trailer to my 15,000lb trailer I get about 8MPG.
I also don't seem to have much power with the truck
I'm thinking there could be something majorly wrong with the engine in this truck but I'm just now sure.
My friend has an 06 with the HO as well with LARGER tires then me and he is getting 20-25 on the freeway and 16 towing.
Is there in fact something wrong with my engine or is there that much of a difference between the 04 and 06?
(The reason I'm suspecting an engine problem is also because I bought the truck used, and found evidence of at one point in time the truck having a chip AND programmer of some type, as well as having a 15,000lb rated 5th-wheel hitch)
You didn't mention which Ram you have... 2500/3500, regular cab/Quad Cab, 4x2/4x4, dually if 3500... so it's hard to tell what you may be experieincing regarding mpg and power.
