As a colleague of mine used to say, "everything works, but the hands don't move," He used that expression when he had checked everything on a certain system and found it to be working correctly, but the system was still...
If the oxygen sensor waveform doesn't look "well" on a scope (a direct test), it definitely should be replaced prior to (or during) the diagnostics as such could be at least a part cause of your difficulty. Slow acceleration can...
Hi there. Typically when a vehicle is hard to shift (either up or down), it's caused by an obstruction of hydraulic fluid inside the transmission inner lines, a gasket or seal leak or a shift solenoid that is faulty. To...
The cause of loss of power is identified in YourMechanic's engine loss of power diagnostic. To give you an initial idea of the possible causes that would be considered, a partial list would include oxygen sensors, fuel pump and/or filter,...
Hi there. Typically this issue is due to a damaged shift solenoid, or an issue with the electrical harness fro the ECU to the shift solenoids. It is also possible that there is internal damage such as a broken seal...
If the wheel is stuck on the centerbore where it mounts to the axle hub, or the lug nuts are rusted to the stud(s), a certified mechanic will resolve this if you request wheel installation/removal. If you have further questions...
To answer your first question, "Is my engine dead?", I would fix the leak, add oil and see if the truck runs and if it runs, see if there's any noise. If the engine does run, and there is no...
It sounds like you may have a worn out U-joint or potentially a worn out pinion gear in your rear end. The other possibility may be worn out wheel bearings. A wheel bearing will usually fail due to pitting or...
Hi there. In most cases, this will occur due to an obstruction of fuel or the inability to correctly mix the right ratio of fuel to oxygen. This could be due to dirty or clogged fuel injectors, throttle body or...
Hi there. You may have a dirty or failing idle air control valve. The idle air control valve reads the air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the engine at low speeds and at...
You may want to check to be sure the fuel pressure regulator is working properly. The fuel pressure regulator is a device which controls the pressure of fuel supplied to the fuel injectors on an engine. This works by bleeding...
The transmission fluid pressures and shifting will need additional diagnosis to determine if the transmission has internal damage or a solenoid and valve body is the cause of the no shifting out of second gear. Make sure you have check...
If you are driving your truck with the rear driveshaft removed then you are feeling the transfer case slipping internally since this vehicle has internal clutches in the transfer case that let the front and rear driveshafts equalize. You are...
Hi John. Thanks for contacting us today. Unfortunately, we're not best suited to provide that type of information through this platform. Your best option is to contact a local Dodge dealership to receive the pin code you need to reset...
The lack of heat being generated by your system may indicate a clogged heater core. The heater core is a small radiator like unit that circulates the hot coolant from the engine through the heater core which then uses this...
Overheating can be caused by a number of things such as low coolant levels, a faulty thermostat, a clogged radiator or a failing coolant fan switch. As you may know the coolant fan switch helps to maintain the proper coolant...
You might be able to find a used gasket via a used parts website such as Car-part.com. If not, either one of the major auto glass installers, or a custom body shop, will have to either use off the shelf...
You should first turn off a/c and see if system equalizes and then turn on system. If pressures on the high side goes too high then you have an expansion valve that is not working correctly and needs replaced. Make...
