I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 sport. The other day my truck started to have a loud air sound coming from it and also when I step on the gas it doesnt have any ooomph to it. I have been searching and searching on google about what it might be and how to fix the problem. I keep reading all of these posts about a similiar problem except I am not having any problems with the air vents/defrost, or the cruise control which EVERYONE keeps saying. It also DOES NOT idle rough (or low), nor does it want to die. It idles at a normal RPM. When I put it in drive and start pressing the gas is when the loud air sound occurs. What do yall think the problem is and how should i go about fixing it? Is it a vacuum problem?

Please help me in this situation all of you Dodge guru's!!!

p.s. does anyone else have a problem with a cracked dash?

Use the search feature for the cracked dash. Lots of people with that problem.

 

Check for disconnected or broken vacuum lines.

 

Might b your catalyic converter also. Mine did that had no power when I stepped on gas but would idle fine. Just a thought.

 

+1 on the cat, pull the o2 and see how it runs down the road. also may want to check the vac lines to the 4x4 switch under the truck

 

is the air hat seated correctly?

 

Blown plenum, bad cat and o2's.
