Dodge Ram 2001 Rebuild
Hello this is the 2nd thread on my truck.
Backstory:
2001 dodge ram 4x4 sport 5.9 v8 1500 46 re QC
I bought the truck for 3K due to the fact the engine light was on and had a slight miss.
Brought the truck home started looking at it. Scanned it with code reader
came up with about 8 codes... o2 sensor before cat... cam sensor.. idle air control... changed the cap and rotor and spark plugs o2 sensor idle air all the codes went away.
Kept driving and a misfire code kept coming back... on cylinder 6 and 8
kept looking had one of the throttle body spacers... and a broken airbox that was sucking in from behind...
also found a paint marker laying on the intake and a diaper under the rear bench... so lovely...
Other than that it was my dream truck so I am going all through it.
Here is my first thread
https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...-headache.html
So on and on had really low compression in one of the cylinders
I realized the heads were shot
so just got my New Heads from Hughes Engines they are really nice
Starting to take the front end apart to repaint and fix a few things
