1997 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 318 Death Flash?
Wut other things should I look for as in popular problems and wut not I've had my truck for a year I bought it with 92,000 and now I'm up to 123,000 I drive 10 miles a week bc of work and every other weekend i drive about 380 miles and I have no problems besides a noise that I can't find I've been looking for it every olf and I can't find it it sounds like maybe the Bedliner or the plastic wheel wells moving when I go over bumps sometimes I do all my own work and I'm pretty picky.
Read this, and until you check the correct way, don't fool yourself into thinking you have no problem. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...um-thread.html
I'm a mechanic if anyone is thinking I'm just some guy with a truck I'm not oblivious to this stuff but I am still learning I've only been doing it for 4.5 years but I'm pretty knowledgeable about this stuff but I'm not arrogant I'm always open to help and advice
yea ok, did I say something wrong? So am I, for 30 years, and didn't know about that problem(plenum) until I found this place a few years ago. No big deal bud, just check it, and replace the pan anyway.
I know ur a nice guy I've been watching this forum for a little more than a year even before I got the truck but yea I don't lose oil but I've been hearing the marble noise after start up but it goes away after a few minutes but yea I'll do it. Wut kind of work am i looking at?
You need to read the plenum thread and fix that problem. I have a 2000 , 2500 that was very low miles too. But , the plenum gasket was blown , I caught it early thank god. Before clogged cat and cracked heads.
Yea, after the plenum fix, confirmation that the the cat is not clogged(or on it's way) and at least a compression test .
