yes because brake fluid wont wear out as much No, brake fluid will destroy the seals in the power steering system.

If shaking ihappens as you pick up speed could be worn U joints, loose or broken motor mounts for starters. If at idle could also be and engine issue due to timing problem, emission control issue, burned valve or ignition problem causing misfire or dead cylinder.

SEATING AREA, DRIVER SIDE, AT THE LEFT SIDE OF INSTRUMENT PANEL ON FUSE BLOCK

how do you open a fuse box on a transit van 110 t280 passenger side

have fun. bring plenty of tape and a pen to mark everything unplugged and wher it goes. I would pull te seat out of the way to make it easier. The steering column will have to be dropped also. Just start looking for all the screws to get panels out of the way. drop glove box, radio mark all wiring as you go If your truck is an automatic watch for the little cable attached to column this movews your indicator for park reverse etc. To reinstall it have your steering column back in place and pull the cable unti it is on the neutral area with the tranny in neutral and everything will line back up on gear selector. Your vacuum lines can be a pain, but remember if if it won't unplug from this end will it unplug from that making it easier. mark everything as you disasemble There will be screws in the vents by the windshield and probably under the speaker covers, these just pop off with a screwdriver or door panel removal tool if you have one

The "BUS" is the system Chrysler uses for it's computers to communicate on this truck. The error in the odometer means that the cluster is not receiving any messages. Any of the computers on the truck can bring down the BUS. ie pcm, abs, airbag, ctm, cluster, overhead mssg center, etc... The wiring in between can also be the cause.

At the dealers during the 80's we often saw this intermittent problem in the service department. The most common cause was the TPS (throttle position sensor). An easy and accurate way for anybody to verify that it is indeed the TPS is to crank the engine while observing the tachometer needle. If the "tach signal" is present then the tach needle will fluctuate slightly off of zero. This simple test proves that the car's ECM (electronic control module) is receiving the "go-ahead-and-start-the-engine " signal. Unfortunately, this signal is required to keep the engine running as well. If there is no tach signal the ECM cannot recognize that the engine is running so it turns off the ignition and fuel injection. If while the engine is stalled you witness the absence of the cranking tach signal you will need to replace the TPS sensor. Be carefull to follow the replacement procedure exactly because these old sensors are adjustable. Better yet have a reputable shop do it.

It should have R-134 from the factory

A 1997 Dodge Ram Club Cab, 8ft box and 5.2l (318c.i.) motor has a towing capacity of 8100 lbs when properly equipped. Options that would be beneficial are a transmission cooler, heavy duty alternator, heavy duty battery, and possibly the trailer tow prep package.

If you are looking to haul a RV camper trailer, don't forget that you need to add all the belongings that will be taken, such as canned goods, clothing, kitchen items, lawn chairs etc. Also the number of people that will be in the towing vehicle must be factored in to the total amount. So if properly equipped the equation would be for example:

Trailer weight # people amount of stuff max Total

6000 lbs 2 x 150 1800 lbs = 8100 lbs

The head bolts torque in three steps. First torque all the bolts to 36.1 ft/lbs, then loosen all bolts in reverse fashion. Now torque them to 18 ft/lbs. Finally turn all head bolts 90 degrees. The order is essentially from the center two, forward and rear, then working out evenly left and right tightening forward and rear each time. Replace all the head bolts, never using the old ones. The two short bolts go on the passenger side, (last two holes forward and rear on the passengers side). The rod bearing to crankshaft torques at 47 - 51 ft/lbs, however, I had trouble with mine stripping the bolts and ended up replacing all the bolts and nuts. They would strip about 40 ft/lbs. Torque all nuts to 30, then 38, then 47 ft/lbs.

With Tools Idiot

I've tried every tool I have but cannot reach the hose clamp is the intake manifold recess. Is a special tool required?

Just remove the alternator, ac compressor, and their mounting bracket. It will be out in the open then. With an air ratchet this only takes a half an hour.

Behind the appearance plate that's underneath the headlight on the driver's side.

could be a bad fuel pump or fuel filter. have a friend crank the car as you bang on the fuel tank.this can some times free up the trash on your fuel pump.

Under the truck, along the driver side frame rail.

O'Reilly's, auto zone etc. Try Part number 74612. This is a Murray Heater Valve. Good Luck

I just paid $400 for upper ball joints on a 2001 dodge ram van. Also had to get $50 alignment. That was at Tire Discounters.

I had an 88 b250 and an 92 b150 the 88 had 300k and the 92 had 200k but was in bad shape when I got it at 117k. Both vans I drove to the scrap yard. The main issue with those vans are the severe rust problems that occur here in northeast Ohio and many other areas. I spent a total of 1500 for both vans and got 1000 of it back in scrap. I did well over 2 million worth of roof and siding jobs with those vans. I never replaced a major part once just some brakes and mufflers and a couple hoses. Needless to say they are awesome work vans.
