meanv10 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 those trucks have bad intake leaks.. they leak oil.. causing all sorts of problems (no start , run rough ect...)take the air box off the throttle body and open up the throttle body ... look inside with a flash light... if its all wet the intake need to come off and you need to install all new gaskets but the one thats causing the problem is on the bottom of the intake ... its drawing in to much crankcase gases ... the cover has like 15 bolts on it... jsut a thought... ive done a ton of those intakes... (master auto tech) "aka" very shitty job... just a though.... ohhh that trans is going to go out soon if it hasnt already.... or unless its a manual... good luck josh Dont forget on the 4x4 the transfer cases go bad, had one buddy with a 99 just driven down the road midden his own, and then bam the fricken tcase cracked.

I have NEVER heard of anyone having problems with the intakes.. I have a 99 with 115,000 on it.. My dad has a 96 with 150,000 and I have several friends with similar trucks.. I never remember doing any when I worked in a shop either.. You work in a Dodge dealership? Not trying to be a dick at all.. To be honest Iam just a mopar guy, have always had mopar and most of my buddies do aswell.. Also have a close friend thats a tech(has been 15 years) and he is a mopar guy to.. I just figured if they were that natorious I would have heard of it by now.... Weird.. As for that trans, I have heard that those are natorious for going out.. However when I had mine checked out just shy of 100,000 EVERYTHING looked real good... Like anything else I think allot of how long a ride lasts depends partly on luck and a whole lot on how its taken care of... I will have to look down the throttle body for shits and giggles the next oil change.. :thumbsup: RIPPEN Quote
smokin 2 stroke Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Posted February 19, 2008 truck is well taken care of...the truck looked brand new until like last years when the paint started pading real bad in certain spots ie roof and tailgate... but ive been reading in dodge forums and they had siller problems aand it was some kind of intake problem..getting to much air and leaning the motor out Quote
