still have the gauge issue. tank was dropped and fuel pump checked. i even checked one at autozone to get the readings.......it was the same as the 2 that I had.

Im also having a no power issue. trucks runs great, sounds great but when you put her in drive she just doesnt seem to have any nuts. You put it in reverse and it seems to have more power (I can actually spin the tires).

Its almost like the brakes are on but it rolls just fine, or the cat is plugged???
This is suppose to be my gf winter truck but damn this thing is really driving me nuts.

I did find the IAC wasnt engaged so it was sucking air like crazy. I pulled the plunger out and it seems to work fine now but??

Remove the pre-cat O2 sensor from the exhaust, and see if the truck drives any better.

If you pulled the plunger out, the IAC is most likely no good now.

well it runs better now, its not sucking air in now. ill try and removes the precat 02 sensor today. i should have checked the cat itself when the muffler was getting chopped but my mechanic was so damn fast I didnt get a chance. crazy thing was that the trukc was isnt loud when the muffler was removed. I have 2 other rams and they were a tad louder when we did the exhaust work.

So pulling the plunger out isnt good huh, lol.............go figure.
