Great thread Black Dodge, I too remember when this body style came out and people either loved it or hated it. I was driving a 90 3/4 ton two tone blue with a 360 auto at the time. A fellow worker bought one of the first gen diesels and I think even still has it.
About that time my job changed...
Well our morning tempretures here have been in the teens for a couple of days and my truck is still starting. Guess it was the crank sensor causing the problem.
Got a code that the crank sensor was intermittently working. Replace it and my truck started right up. I'll have to wait for another cold day to see if it solved the problem. $34 for the sensor.
Thanks for responding Bear, I haven't had a chance to get it checked for codes yet. I've been looking on line and it seems that it has been a problem with more then my truck. But haven't seen where anyone has posted the cure yet.
Right now the check engine is off but it comes on every once in...
Hi Bear,
It cranks good and tries to fire but won't start. After a couple tries smells like it's flooded. I have to let it set till the temp rises then it will start.
Had the battery checked yesterday and it was still in good shape.
My thought was that it must be a sensor, I've also read that...
Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
When the outside tempreture drops to around 45 degrees my truck will not start in the morning. Later in the day after the outside temp rises it starts right up.
It's a 2003 ram 1500 4x4 with a 5.7 Hemi in it.
Heck I'd buff it out then see what you think, I kind of like the survivor look if the paint is still good looking. but the paint job you described would be WOW!!! That's going to be sweet with a pumped up 440 in it. Is it an auto or 4 speed?
