No start after rain
My pop just bought a 2000 ram sport with 5.9. If it rains over night the truck will not start in the mornning, he has to floor it to get it to go. I know that the 1 gen trucks need the distributor and wires sealed to prevent this problem(atleast that's what I've found), do the 2 gen trucks have a simaler problem/fix?

K, I had the same problem. And when it does start it ran rouch for a lil while. My problem was my wires and plugs were bad. My wires would get moisture and it took a while to dry out ( the reason why they ran rough) After being warmed up, ran like a dodge ram and not a ford. Try replacing your plugs and wires. I did with mine and it runs just like she should be.

Pop's says that it runs fine right after it starts. I'm going to spray the coil, wire and distributor with water and see if that's it's problem. Is there a way to check for codes without a reader?

RE: No start after rain
yes you can use the key method (do not start)... key on-off-on-off-on in 3~5 seconds and the codes will appear on the odometer.
there is a link to a 2001 manual at the top of the forum aka merry christmas thread... download the manual for him.
