How do you replace front rotars on a dodge ram truck?
Remove the wheels...unbolt the clips that hold the brakes pads(two bolts)...remove pads(check for wear)....unbolt the caliper assembly(2 bolts on the back side)....use a small box to support the caliper for straining the brake lines(keep it slack)...remove any serrated washers...pull off old rotor(make need to hammer it to break rust-to-rust adhesion)...replace with new rotor....take a C-clamp and tighten against the ther piston that it there to put pressure on the inside pad(piston has to be forced back to allow room for placing in new or old pads, and a gap for rotor thickness)...slide it all together lining up the bolt holes and tighten. You can bleed the brake by openining the small nipp;e pn the back of the caliper....have somebody pump the brakes and let out a little fluid then close with person holding the brake pedal.
Good Luck
Where is the fuel filter located on a 1986 Dodge Ram D150?
if it is carberated then follow the fuel line from the carberator to the fuel filter. It is usually below the alternator or somewhere in that general are. It is a small silver filter with 3 lines attached to it if im not mistaken. 1 metal fuel line and 2 rubber lines. Hope this is helpful for you.
Are you supposed to drive in 4 hi or 2 hi?
2 hi unless you're driving in rough/unstable terrain. Then you use 4 hi. And if you're pulling something, it should be 4 lo.
Your 2003 Explorer ABS light is coming on from time to time and the cruise control quit working?
Replace the cruise control deactivater switch which simply screws into the top of the master brake cylinder. Costs less than $20 and everything will run properly again! there is no deactivater switch on the master brake cylinder on a 2003 ford f-250
How do you remove the dash on 96 dodge ram 2500?
Visit the Autozone website and they have free guides...with diagrams. I just used them on mine
How do you fix intermittent wipers that do not delay?
perhaps the wiper switch is broken and needs to be replaced.-- The delay part of the Switch.
Why does a Chevy 350 have good oil pressure but does not get any oil to the top of the motor?
There are a couple possibilities: the head gasket has been re-installed wrong (good candidate), the cam bearing has turned, or there is a blockage of sludge or other material in the oil line.
Resurfacing rotor specifications for 2003 VW gti?
Any good machine shop can tell you if the rotors are a candidate for resurfacing or need replacing. They will know how to do this if they are reputable. You can get a new rotor for this car for $20 (rear) to $30 (front). I don't ever recommend having a rotor or drum turned, and I don't do it on my own cars. You need all the metal you can get to carry off the heat. I shall tell you the height of idiocy: The only place in town that has Volkswagen Beetle tires is Pep Boys. I wouldn't take a car to Pep Boys to get the ashtray dumped if I had any other option, but in this case I didn't. The worst idiot I have ever seen with an ASE patch on his shoulder was turning a brake rotor that had a huge chunk of metal broken out of it--by the time they were done the rotor was two inches smaller than it was when it came out of the box. That couldn't possibly have been safe to use--in addition to losing a lot of your braking surface and your heat-dissipation capability, a rotor that had suffered that much damage is a stress fracture waiting to happen.
Does a 1997 Dodge Stratus have a Fuel Pump Reset Switch?
No,Dodge does not use inertia/reset switches.
How do you change a thermostat in a 99 dodge 1500 5.9?
The thermostat is located inside of the top radiator housing on the engine. The air filter box and top radiator hose will have to be removed along with one bracket to get to the housing. unbolt the housing, and the thermostat will be inside.
How do you change the multi function swith on a 1994-2001 dodge ram?
# Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. # If the vehicle is so equipped, remove the tilt steering column lever. # Remove both the upper and lower shrouds from the steering column # Remove the lower fixed column shroud. # Move the upper fixed column shroud far enough to access the rear of the multi-function switch # Remove the tamper proof mounting screws (a Snap On tamper proof torx bit TTXR20B2 or equivalent is required) that secure the multi-function switch to the steering column. # Gently pull the switch away from the steering column far enough to access and remove the multi-function switch wire harness connector screw. # Unplug the wire harness connector from the multi-function switch. # Reverse the removal procedures to install. Tighten the fasteners as follows: #* Multi-function switch wire harness connector screw - 2 N·m (17 in. lbs.) #* Multi-function switch mounting screws - 2 N·m (17 in. lbs.)
How do you replace the water pump on a 1996 dodge Dakota with a 5.2 liter engine?
An excellent step by step replacement procedure is given in the "Dodge Durango & Dakota Pickups" Haynes Repair Manual. Complete with pictures. (That is for 1998-1999.) I have replaced several and would advise using a factory replacement part. The reason I have replaced several, relates directly to using "rebuilt" pumps. Also, spend the money on the correct dealer replacement hoses. They are expensive but they fit, first time. You can often find these manuals at the half-price book store (cheap), if not the Public Library (for free).
Here is another opinion:
This question is not too involved to answer here. It just takes some explaining as with any repair by the home mechanic.
1. Remove the serpentine belt by rotating the main tensioner clockwise. You may want to leave it on to apply pressure when loosening the nut for the fan, however this does not always work.
2. 4 bolts retain the fan shroud. Simply loosen but do not remove all of the bolts until the fan nut is loose.
3. There are supposed to be four bolts on the water pump pulley to apply counter pressure with a 13mm wrench when loosening the fan nut (this nut has reverse threads so it's not righty tighty, lefty loosey.) At this point you might want to remove the idler pulley right above the water pump to make the following steps easier.
4. The manual says you need a special tool to loosen the fan nut. I couldn't buy it at the auto parts store because the water pump pulley both on the old one and new one did not have the 4 bolts but unthreaded holes instead. Dodge would not tell me what they do in this situation or sell any special tools to customers. Rude. So I used a strap wrench and wrapped it around the pulley and held tight while I unloosened the fan nut. Worked great.
5. Once the fan nut is loose, remove the bolts for the shroud and lift the fan and shroud out together.
6. There are three hoses (on the V8) that need to be removed from the water pump. You will need needle nose and other pliers to do this.
7. Mark the bolt at 12 o'clock on the pump for reference and start loosening them a little at a time clockwise laying them down in order as they are different lengths.
8. Remove the water pump and get ready to start scraping gasket. The upper part is difficult to see but be persistant. Who wants to see a leak after all this work.
9. The water pump has a coolant return hose that will need to be transfered to the new pump and a new o-ring replaced that is included.
10. Apply RTV high temp. silicone to the new water pump and the side of the gasket that faces the engine. Spread it thin. I had to break the habit of thinking more silicone=less chance of leaks.
11. Install the new pump and gasket and torque the bolts in 1/4 turn increments. Let the silicone cure as instructed on the package.
12. Start working your way back up this list, reversing the procedure, refill the coolant leaving the radiator cap off. Start the engine and turn on the heater. Add coolant mixture as necessary until full. Check for leaks and hope the new pump lasts a darn long time.
Here is more input:
- I'm the owner of a 1999 durango. My water pump went out at 51,000 miles. You need to remove the: fan and shruod first,the fan comes off by leaving belt on and turning large nut with wrench counter-clockwise, then remove water pump bolts and install new one, reverse to put back on.
- The strap didnt work for me, so I made my own wrench. I used the bolt pattern on the new pump to make it, by welding 2 small studs on a piece of flat steel. Then welded a long handle on it. Instant wrench. Worked great.
On step 3 above, the writer says the big nut on the fan is reverse threaded. Mine wasn't and it cost me hours of sweat and frustration. I had to remove the radiator to get the whole thing out in one piece. From the front of the truck, like the answer just above, it's counter clockwise
Another removal option:
I had no welder or strap wrench. I applied WD-40 to the fan nut, and I used a breaker bar and hammer, tapping the nut firmly on each side. I disconnected all hose connections and all bolts. I leaned the pump and fan assembly gently onto the radiator, enough to expose the water turbine on the back side of the pump. Facing the front of the Durango, I used vise grips at the two o'clock position on the turbine. This locked the pulley/fan shaft against the A/C mounting bracket. The fan nut came loose easily. I then removed the fan and shroud, and then I removed the pump.
There is a metal pipe that extends at a 45 degree angle on the right side of your pump. This must be removed. My pump went out at 108k miles and this pipe stem was corroded into the pump. I scraped the rim with a razor blade and then applied WD-40. Do not use pliers or a pipe wrench! this pipe has very thin walls and will twist and cave in very easily. Instead I secured the pump on a table, and put my channel lock pliers behind the mounting wing that is attached to the pipe and gently hit the back side of my pliers. After lots of tapping I started to wiggle the pipe and working it in a circular motion. This freed it from the pump, and I was able to remove it by pulling and "unscrewing" it. This is not a threaded port, it is held in by an o-ring and pressure.
One More Removal Tip:
I own a 1999 Durango and just changed the water pump. The strap also didn't work but I found out a simple way to loosen the fan nut if you are throwing out the old pump. Drill a 1/4 inch hole from straight above into the water pump pulley. It is thin metal and takes less than a minute. Then stick a screwdriver into the hole to stop the pump from turning. Now you can loosen the fan nut easily. Mine loosened counter clockwise (right hand thread).
Tips for installation:
I applied the RTV on the pump side first, then laid the gasket onto it and waited a few minutes. This allowed the RTV to become more tacky and less slippery. I inserted the 3 mounting bolts into their rightful places into the pump. I threaded them two full turns into the gasket because the threads wanted to catch the gasket and pull it off the pump. Inserting the top bolts will hold the gasket in alignment and allow you to hang the pump into place without having to hold it there and try to tighten the bolts one by one.
I removed the top hose clamp completely off the top hose and used vise grips to open the clamp completely. I l looped the clamp and vise grips onto the top hose fitting of the new pump, leaving it clamped open. As I installed the pump, I had to push the pump up into the hose. Then, I hanged the pump on the mounting bolts as described above, fit the clamp onto the hose and released.
Check your belt for signs of wear and replace if necessary. In 2008 this belt runs 25.99-32.99.
What does a throttle position sensor do?
The throttle position sensor (TPS) keeps the PCM informed about throttle position. The PCM uses this input to change spark timing and the fuel mixture as engine load changes. A problem here can cause a flat spot during acceleration (like a bad accelerator pump in a carburetor) as well as other drivability complaints.
the throttle position sensor (tps) tells the computer where you have your foot while driving ( half throttle or quarter ect.)
Trouble code P0700 means:Transmission control system malfunction
The leakage can come from a water hose, or the water pump or a front freeze plug.
Hello, that sounds like the water pump is gone bad. If you are looking at the front of the motor, on the left side close to the center of the engine that is where the water pump is located. It is driven by the belt and it circulates the water from the radiator to the engine. The water is pumped out of the engine to the radiator, which cools the water and then its goes back into the engine. I would recommend running the engine very little, and check the water in the radiator 3 times a day until you can get it fixed. DO NOT let the motor run hot. You can cause serious engine damage if you do.
Where does the fuel line enter the engine compartment?
Fuel lines in vehicles are routed from the tank (usually back in the back) along the undercarriage or frame to the engine compartment. The place to begin looking is along the bottom of the firewall. The line will be a steel tube, but don't confuse it with a brake line.
Where is 1991 dodge ram fuel relay switch located?
I'm not seeing where there is a fuel pump relay. It's not listed at Advance Auto. Usually this is due to a part being non existent or a dealer item only. There is, however, an issue with the fuel pumps on the Dodge Rams around that year. Engine: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP Service Bulletin Number:140593
NHTSA Number: 39531
