timing

Got a 02 Dodge Ram 1500, 3.7 v6. 2wd It’s a 5 speed manual, 261xxx miles on it. Original Tran and motor. Recently while accelerating to shift into a higher gear, I can hear a bit of a vacuum cleaner sound when at the higher rpms. Sort of sounds like the truck is sucking air. I don’t really feel...

Hello there this is my 1st post on this forum excited to get some answers or suggestions. My cylinder 4 intake lifter failed but it didn’t ruin the camshaft bc the Pushrod fell out of rocker So I replaced all 8 lifters on passenger side. So I repaired and reassembled it, and when I crank the...

Hello, and thanks in advance for any diagnostic help. So here's the issue(s) -- There's really 2 things happening, but I am beginning to think they are probably related to the same overall cause. 1) I have noticed recently that when driving at around 35 mph my truck seems to shake resulting...

Ok, here goes.... I have a 2wd 96 extended that started as a 318 with a stick. At 275,000 miles, I got a reman 360 with a mild cam. Got the mopar dual plane intake, k&N cold air kit, and exhaust. However... I have an issue. It vibrates pretty bad. At idle (1000rpm) it shakes the truck a...

I'm trying to get my dad's d350 chasis truck w/flatbed running good. I have rebuilt the trash carb it has (carter AFB performance series), made sure all the vac lines are hooked up and in good condition, new fuel filter, and it even has an electric fuel pump to help out. I wanted to check the...

Hey fellas, I've got a 1986 D250 that was my grandpa's and has been in the family since it was new. After years of use on the farm and down the road, it leaked from every orifice possible, so we recently rebuilt it. The build went great and with minimal problems until the end; we are having a...

I just typed about 1,000 words describing the background. During the typing, I took a phone call and when I came back this forum had logged me out and I lost my post. I do not have the heart to do that again. I'm sorry. I have a 1985 D150 Royal SE with a 318 and a Holley 2bbl 2280. I have...
