    2003 ram 1500 5.7l P0108

    BTW: This is the TB you should have bought. It's made by the OEM. Available at Rock Auto.

    2003 ram 1500 5.7l P0108

    I bet it's the ECM. Ask me how I know this! Had a 2005, 1500 with the 5.7. New from dealer. Constant lightning bolt light. They tried everything to fix it multiple times. Total parts cannon. Problem always came back. Dealer would not put in a new ECM. But I knew it had to be the ECM. I lived...

    PCM Problems, 2003 Hemi

    Here is my advice. Take the TIPM out and open every harness connector. Hit all the connections with dielectric grease. Reassemble and see what happens. I had a 2005 Ram 1500 that would just go into 4WD all on its own among other nutty electrical things. The above procedure solved it. Moisture...

    SOFT BRAKE PEDAL

    Finished the complete brake system overhaul. Finally had a a helper today and started at the MC and pedal bled it. Got good smooth streams of fluid to come out multiple times. So that was eliminated. Then did the same at the ABS. Helper ran ABS Bleed on the scanner while I cracked open 1of 3...

    SOFT BRAKE PEDAL

    Thanks for the question. Yes, I put a Raybestos new MC in. I may do the plugging off the MC ports test to see if it holds tight. But here's the thing: the pedal is rock hard with engine off. No fade, just perfect. Fire up the engine, pedal goes half way to floor. It's a damn nutty problem. I was...

    2003 Dodge Ram 2500 5.7 — ETC failure is going to get me killed.

    Had this same lightning bolt light problem on my 2005, 1500. Bought it new in August of 2006. It was the last 2005 on the lot. It was a great truck except for that one problem. Dealer tried umpteen times to fix it. Throttle bodies, gas pedals, complete wiring harness change. No joy. It would...

    Brake pad advice please

    With all the RAM trucks I have owned, I have tried just about all the brake pads you can think of. The HD trucks rip through pads pretty quick if you actually use it for heavy loads and hauling. The Bosch pads are good, but really the Duralast Gold pads from AZ are the quickest way to go. Plus...

    SOFT BRAKE PEDAL

    The pedal is perfect with engine off. Once the boost comes on with the engine vacuum, halfway to the floor until brakes work. Pumping does nothing to make the pedal better once boost is on. I have seen that this is a common problem on this era of Dodge HD trucks. This Kelsey Hayes 4WALB system...
