My 2007 dodge ram stopped and won't turn back on anything I can try to make it start
Thx!
@@daddytrui9059 check battery and connections first if you have no power at all.
Back in December 2007, I bought a brand new 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Single Cab SLT with a 4.7 liter engine. I kept this truck until October 2016, and traded it in on a 2016 Dodge Challenger SXT. During the 8 years of ownership I only placed 36,000 miles on this truck. I really had no problems with this truck except for one. The power steering rack developed a very minor leak. This could have been a result of limited driving. I'm retired so I just don't drive much. Overall, I really liked this truck.
I have a 2006. Not one of those problems do I have. In fact I don't have any problems with my dodge at all. 120k still going strong.
good for you
Congratulations, here’s a star sticker for you ⭐️
Mine still running strong I have 230k
Thats absolutely great, with regular maintence; the truck will run strong!.. Mine needs work, thats why Im here🤪 Happy trucking💜
I hope so that’s not many miles. I’m about to hit 130 still going strong
I’ve had cylinder misfires with my 2006. I also have a lack of AC/cool air coming from my vents, like it’s blocked off. I haven’t had EVAP codes, but my dad’s charger has for years. I’ve also gotten transmission solenoid codes before, and the vehicle has stalled while driving many times. It only has 165,000 original miles and is now toast thanks to a blown head gasket :(
This video is actually a pretty accurate representation of 3rd gen problems. I’d highly recommend you avoid these trucks based off of my ownership of 2 of them. Neither made it close to 200k.
thank you there's a few of you guys that do these videos and I don't mean to sound rude but I enjoy and learn how a lot more when you go over things it seems like the other guy left a lot of things out of his conversation. little frustrating but I truly appreciate it your time.
Nice video with some really good information. Just one thing i would like to add. If you have a slipping or funny shifting transmission, check your alternator. I had a problem with a slipping transmission on my 2005 4,7 and started some troubleshooting. After 2 days it finally came to my mind to check the voltage of my alternator. See there: 11.2 Volts. Swapped it and everthing's fine for about 3 years now. The solenoids slow down when voltage is low, so the transmission needs more time to shift into another gear.
Makes sense, thanks
Interesting, my 07 does seem a little slow on downshifting when pulling grade.
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for sharing!
GENIUS!!! Thank you, this was an awesome discovery! Banking in my mental toolbox! 💯😀👍
I love my 04 and this is great info for anyone who like to fix there own vehicles 🤙
I bought my 2007 dodge ram 1500 hemi brand new in 2007 and ive had zero issues with it, it just started misfiring the first cylinder after 130,000 miles but im sure its because ive never replaced the spark plugs wich i should have done a while ago. Its been a really good truck over the years i mainly use it as a farm truck, work truck, and hunting truck now. It may have lower mileage but I’ve definitely given it a beating over time, but thats why i love it. It has withstood the beating and now is a perfect work truck.
I just bought one yesterday from my friend 2006 93K. So thanks for this video.
A1 Auto the best on youtube
Nice & clear and right to the point
I have an ‘04 5.7 4x4 Sport with 290k miles and she still hauls. Routine oil changes along with plugs and wires per manufacturer suggested. Never any major issues with it other than the 0440 code that I assumed was from my straight pipe dual exhaust (cat-back). I’ve got 35x12.5x17 mud tires and it still will break loose if I gas it hard from a stop. I love my truck. Wouldn’t sell it for anything.
1A Auto videos are always so helpful!
My 07 got stuck in "limp mode" one day and it turned out to be the solenoid pack. Wasn't to bad of a fix compared to a new transmission
Helped me out so much I have a 2002 Dodge Ram and I’m having these exact same issues
+Jhill. 721 Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I bought a 2008 Ram 1500 with 150k miles on the 4.7 hemi for a really good price (under $10k). It had an exhaust leak that came and went but mostly audile at idle. Turns out a common issue is the hemi torque/heat can break the header bolts closest to the firewall over time. I took it to a shop and 2 header gaskets and $400 later they replaced all the header bolts and it's quiet now. One other issue that is common is the low beam can go out on one side (usually passenger). Its the TPMS/under hood fuse box combo unit and they cost almost $900 so for now I just ran a jumper wire between the headlights... other than that very strong engine and trans I tow a 20ft toy hauler trailer no problemo.
Nothing makes me feel more assured on this vehicle than having John Malkovich teach me about my vehicle.
My 2002 5.9 Magnum is still going strong. Owned it since it was new.
How many miles let’s stay in touch man I have the same about to rebuilt or get new Tranny any advice? Mines at 215k and torque converter is going.
Mine has 200k on it running like new original engine and trans
Mine's got 320,000 miles runs great I'm on my third tranny though I think that was the last full Steel 5.9 engine block they made
Transmission pulled 3 times
The 5.9 are the best besides the ecu going out and converter stocked up I bought mine from my uncle had 459,890 miles
I own a 2003 Ram 1500 that my grandfather handed down to me and I can say that, among the work I’ve done, I’ve had to replace my purge valve and clean out my throttle body due to stall issues.
There is only one solenoid , Transmission shift solenoid. I had to replace mine in my '05 Ram 5.7V8. Went ahead and replaced the Transmission filter and I'm pretty sure they're was some gasket work to be done, if I'm remembering correctly. I want to say I had to scrape the old gasket off and replaced it with both a new paper gasket and a tube of gasket maker cream, put all hundred and twenty five (kidding) bolts back in plenum , sealed it all up, poured fresh Transmission fluid in and was rolling again within minutes. i tried to pressure wash my mess off the driveway , I just couldn't get it all up off the driveway ...That weekend was just a little challenging for me, she is still running well though-- byby --thanks for putting up video.
2008 1500 5.7 152,000 miles here. Solenoid pack 2 years ago at about 130k. A wheel bearing at about 50k. Water pump leak. Now dealing with a TPS issue. Really no complaints though, love this vehicle.
That crazy I’ve dealt with those issues with my 2004 4.7 the evap (it’s was the hose from the gas filler to the tank), the trans solenoid(replaced the solenoid) and every now and then I’d deal with the misfire like rarely tho (I use seafoam gas treatment and replace the coil pack and spark plugs)
+Marco Avila Thanks for the feedback!
having owned 2 dodges one 2003 2wd with the 4.7 and the 45rfe trans at over 313,000 miles and a 2007 4wd with the 5.7 and the 545rfe trans id like to add to this list. I've seen many problems with the 1-2 shift due to the filter draining back into the pan also on the dodge 9.25 in rear end the pinion seals love to leak a ton. As for the interior, the blend and mode doors will break from so many extreme heat cycles (I'm from Texas) as have mine in both vehicles and requires dash removal.
Had to pull my dash last year.
@@daddyrabbit835 Ugh... I'm sorry you had to go through that.
Yes am.from phoenix. Mine is broken half way. Tha part close to th e glas
I have a 2008 1500 Laramie Big Horn Edition with 5.7L 4x4 with 262K miles on the clock. Just installed new lower control arms, struts, and sway bar links. Did have the stalling issue, so had my throttle body decarbonized. Next up, new fuel injectors and coils. Still a very strong puller.
I have a problem 1128 1229 0158 0031 0052 this my code on my dodge ram 06 how do I fix it plz I need help
Good video. Quick tip: Reverse the heater hoses to back flush a plugged up heater core. It works.
+George Colbert Thanks for the feedback!
It works maybe twice then the driver side barely gets hot while passenger side cooks , weird i know
100% brother!
04 Cummins is what I have. The truck recently started to get stuck in tow mode. I believe it’s the transmission but I’ll check the alternator voltage first. The ac goes out at times but overall I’m a little over 214k miles and it’s still taking me all over the Courtney doing hotshot
Any resolve
I have a 2003 Dodge RAM 1500 5.7L V8 HEMI that has over 133K miles. I keep it well maintained and just drove it from Oakland California to Wintergarden Florida. I have performed all the maintenance work myself and really enjoy it. Great video!
+MINDRIGHT Thanks for the feedback!
Oh the 4.7 Magnum, very good engine if maintained and not overheated, I have one in my 06 Dakota with 100,700 miles no issue. Wish it was still in production, it had a lot of potential still left. Good video!
+V R Thanks for the feedback!
I seen a 4.7 magnum with over 250K miles! Still running very smooth. Amazingly to me, it was owned by an older gentleman.
08 Ram 1500 4.7 just hit 240,000 miles I drive 102 miles a day 51 to work and 51 home.... best truck I’ve ever owned
i here ya i got a 06 with 337,683 on her still runs great
Thank you so much for this information. I love my 1500.
My 08 Ram 1500 4x4 5.7 Hemi is at about 67,000 miles (112,000 kms). No major problems, just the right front wheel bearing, back left door won't electric lock, and rust starting at the back box (it was kept for the most part in a garage). But for normal maintenance about $500 dollars to change all 16 spark plugs at a Dodge dealer! Only one more complaint, the tires wore out 😂. But I do love the truck so far. Oh yeah, also I put on a locking gas cap which I think is important.
Same issue as mine. Front right wheel hub collapsed, rear doors auto lock on their own or act screwy. Now I'm having issues with parasitic drain. I'm thinking Voltage regulator.
That exactly what happened to my truck!
Wise guy👍
Thank you for the suggestion.👍 help me out a lot
Always good information.
Thank you so very much for making this video. I'm looking at one, and just wanted to make sure that they're not a Don't Buy truck
ac condenser fan is a known problem as well
mine(2002 4.7) had a place for an external relay in the pcm box, but none was installed, thought that was odd
My 2007 Mega-cab, Cummins, Laramie 4x4 was in the shop over 30-days during the first 3-months. When steady at 30-MPH the entire truck shook violently front to back (trans' software?). Went back under Texas Lemon Law.
+Boomer Thanks for the feedback!
I do like the 2nd Gen Rams the most, but my 3rd Gen, 05' 5.9L still kicks butt (200k miles)
Still here repn for ya bro thanks for the video
Will you please do a repair video on the heater core bypass pipe that rusts out at the bottom of the block and requires the removal of the turbo? Thanks!
Rear wheel wells are rusted out, lack of power, vibration (not felt in steering wheel, but coming from the rear), cracked dash, broken wires in door jam conduits, ball joints, worn timing chain tensioners, sagging doors
2002 4.7L 4WD quad cab short bed manual transmission with ~250,000 miles on it.
Dude you just listed half my problems with my 2006 ram 1500
Vibration from the rear - check your u joints at 250K. Manual trans must be nice
Read somewhere a few yrs back the 03 was rated the best of the gen3 trucks. I never had an major issue with my 03, well yet. Has 244k. But it does/did have a bad dash, bad dash air box, cond coil fan, ignition switch, rear end bearing when bad and destroyed it. Ball joints, Ujoints. Most just minor maintenance repairs.
🌴😲 AHHHHHH WHAT A COINCIDENCE MINE WAS THE SAME 2003 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB
Same with my 2003. Only bad with ball joints going out pretty quickly so I put some heavy duty ones
YES! So awesome, thank you!! :)

Pretty accurate
+Sam Atallah Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Eric what about the 4.7 v8 what happen?
I own an 2008 1500 changed water pump at 175,000 miles and front wheel bearings at 180,000 still driving it with 183,000 miles.Been a good truck for me.
I actually made a video of me replacing the transmission shift solenoid on my 05 Dodge Ram 5.7, wasn’t too bad. At first I was nervous because ya know it’s a dodge and my transmission was acting weird lol only thing that sucks is that it’s about a $250 to $300 part and it’s time consuming
Could you give me a link of you doing that job? I need to do the same thing on my friends truck

Hi There, I have a 2003 dodge 2500 with 5.7 engine. I recently replaced my transfer case with a same model transfer case, but my 4x4 switch was different and I can't get it to work, any help out there please!!!
excellent video
I have a 03 with the 5.9 runs great only big problems I've had is @ 193000 transmission went out
+Charles Stull Thanks for checking us out!
Christianbrothers rebuilt my transmission at 220k, it's a 2001 RAM 1500 5.2 with 274k miles on it. She's old but runs just like she should.
It's hard to sell mostly cuz I dont wanna. I've worked on just about everything except her piston rings.
Harmonic balancer dislodged and ate into my cover plate... so she got a new NAPA timing chain while I had the front end disassembled.
Even lost a drive shaft at 70mph, front end drop sounded like a bag of bricks under my ass.
1A AUTO IS THE BEST!!!!
How would you go about troubleshooting a p300-p308 code? Do you start with cleaning the injectors and throttle body? People keep saying to open the engine up, that it might be an internal problem. Is this so?
Pressure transducer and governer po 748 very common on these years from what hear. I currently need to order mine
Awesome! Thanks!
How come you didn't mention rust issues? I have an 07 ram and it's got rust in the wheel wells and the rear passenger doors also.
Love your videos... I just bought an 05 ram 1500. Only problem so far is the EGR valve (easy fix).
+Kyle Glenn Thanks for checking us out. Shop for high quality auto parts on 1AAuto.com:

What were the symptom's? Before changing EGR pls.
I just changed it on 04 Ram 1500 5.7L
Do you want to spray intake cleaner before the MAF sensor?
Second gen Rams have fewer problems and actually selling for higher prices if they are well maintained.
I have a 06, Relative has a 99 ctd farm truck, over 640,000 km, less rust, better seats, less front end issues than my 2500 hemi, at 194,000..
When Daimler got engaged to Chrysler, every thing good about the 2gens were tossed out with 3rd gens.
I have a 2003 dodge ram 1500 with a 5.7 . Been having problems with oil pressure. Had the pump replaced but the guy did not change the pickup tube. Had the pressure sensor replaced. Still have issues with oil pressure you can drive vehicle for about 20 min and pressure will drop and the get the rattle . Turn vehicle off and pressure again for around 15 min then drop and rattle. Has mopar filter heard some filter cause issues. Have put mechanical gauge on to and reads the same . Thinking maybe pickup tube but any help would be appreciated before spending a full day trying to replace pick tube .
I have a 2005 ram 1500 rwd 5.7 Hemi and just hitted the 220,000 mile mark
have an 04 4x4 5.7 just hit 240k
I want my dads ram to run that long wow he passed away in march the emission light stays on and shuts off while in idle
06 1500 hemi slt 260k still runs strong
03 1500 SLT door 5.7 4x4 Just turned 243k Started throwing P0302? #2 Cyl. Misfire running a little rough especially at low rpm under load. Swapped Coil with #1 no change Checked plugs and wires, seem good. A guy in a RAM forum said check for broken valve spring. But I'm glad I've seen this first! I'm gonna try the Carbon and Fuel injector Clean first before tearing the Engine apart. Not a single Engine/Drivetrain problem before this!
great video! I have a 2008 dodge ram sxt 4x4 with the 5.7 hemi. When it is in overdrive and i feather the pedal there is a studdering issue,but whe i tap the pedal it clears up. I had the plugs and oil changed and it continues to be an issue. It only does it in overdrive,what could possibly be the problem?
Most of those are common maintenance items for all 5-10 year old vehicles. The newer Rams are just cheaply built and don't last.
Does anyone know why a 2003 Ram 2500 with the 8L V10 has a strong smell of gasoline in the oil? The truck had been sitting a couple of months at a dealership and when I checked the oil before starting it I noticed a strong smell of gas on the oil.
Thank u for this video

My 05 4.7 sbsc has 218k miles and still burns out like butter. (1 wheel only) 😂
I have a 05 with 244k & still runs strong, did need a file pump around 170k but other than that it's all original other than normal maintainence things.
I have an 04 ! It has 396000 miles on it ! Maybe your grand daughter will be driving it one day !
I have an 04 with 178k so all of these comments warm my heart
Thank a lot!
Very professional breakdown- ...now is the 2002 Dodge 1500 4.7 a basket case engine- with a poor design? I've heard mixed opinions- mostly that the Oil Sludge build's up due to faulty design - and Cooling System has design flaws also-? I'm also hearing that transmission typically go out at 100k ? Is that to be expected on HARD driven or ALL 2002 Ram 1500 transmissions?
Don’t forget get if the heater cord goes bad on these and it does quite often it’s a major job you have to pull the whole dash out and the passenger side inter fender well out to get to some bolts. It’s a major job changing a heater core dealers about $1500.
I have a 2008 Ram 1500 never had any problems, regular maintenance… 180k miles runs awesome

Thanks very helpful
GREAT VIDEO THANKS YOU CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR IS ON A 2004 2500 SLT 2 DR WITH 5.7 REG CAB . CHANGED FUEL PUMP ON MINE 1 WITH THE ROUND SILVER FILTER ON TOP IS THAT THE ONLY FILTER I SHOULD HAVE THANK YOU AGAIN
4:30 so I’m not the only broke person that had to Jb weld they’re throttle body haha
The radiator will almost certainly have to be replaced. I have an 07 5.7 thunder road slt hemi and have replaced the radiator twice as well as the water pump. My best advice is use after market parts oem is great but damned expensive. The water pump from dodge was $600. the after market was $250. The problem with the dodge radiators are they have plastic sides and will eventually crack and leak. All things considered I have 145000 miles on my truck and other than having to replace normal ware and tear items it has paid for itself ten times over. In fact my next truck will be a ram.
This was really good but didn’t mention the infamous death wobble. But that itself needs its whole own video
I had the infamous death wobble in my 06 Dodge Ram. Spent months trying to identify the cause. New ball joints. nope. New steering linkage and suspension on parts that looked worn. nope. Put in one of those steering box reinforcing braces. Nope. Everything that looked like it could have been causing the wobble was replaced. Nothing solved the problem. The wobble was still there. Then . . . . . I got new tires. Shazam! The wobble disappeared. I put heavy duty tires on my truck with stronger sidewalls. I haven't had a death wobble since. It was the tires all along.
@@darrenbrandes3119 maybe the tires were cupping, since as you said the other things seemed worn, and could’ve worn the tires unevenly
Na 4.7 v8 2002 dodge ram 8 ft bed wirh cap headgasket!!,Will blow at 250k on the dot!,Mine did and i didn't care it wasn't overheating but the oil cap Was milky as hell, and had blow by!,heat work and ac was cold,Scrap it at 360K,Too rusty and not worth saving.(Michigan for you)

+Samuel Ojeda Thanks for checking us out!
valve springs, seats, and lifters seems to be a common issue. I have a 2009 ram 5.7 hemi and it's misfiring. I did replace the coil pack and the plugs but it is still misfiring. I'm going to check the injector but if it's fine then its going to be a valve issue. truck is at 142k miles
@@xxgunsling3r169 Roller on the lifters were bad about going bad and stop rolling. If you are having misfires then your cam lobe(s) is probably worn down.
I'm about to buy a 3500 with 347xxx, truck seems stout. Would you trust it with that many mikes?
When should I change my transmission fluid? At what kms is the recommendation?
Need help. I have a 02 dodge ram 1500 5.9 L. The fuel pump works but when you hit a bump It will shut off. I need help knowing which connector to replace because it is a connector that needs replacing.
#6.........R-U-S-T!!!!!!! I had an '06 Hemi and now an '07 Cummins, and no matter how diligent you are at taking care of them, they are 100% going to rust and fall apart. Fender wells, rocker panels, bottoms of doors, bumpers. The best thing about my '07 is what sits between the front wheels.....and that's it.
Sucks for you. We dont get any rust here in California.
most common issue i have had with them.. had 6 3rd gens... under hood fuse pannle, corrosion in the small pins 1000 dollar part. scrap.
How were the trucks did you have any from 2008 and were they solid trucks? I have been looking at a 2008 that’s for sale near me
Hey Didn’t they go from two ecm boxes to one in 2006
That p0300 code recently popped up on my 07 1500 slt and I’ve had no idea how to fix it gonna try this
Can you show a video on replacing the oil pump on a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 V8 engine start to finish many thanks?
i have a 2007 1500 5.7 with 180k miles and it runs beautiful, i take care of my truck like it’s my baby yet i drive it like it’s a race truck and don’t have any problems with it
340,000 miles on my 3rd gen. I have many problems with the truck. but not one of these..
230k miles and so far the only thing wrong is bad ac fan, evap thing which i ignore, should buy a new cap, and might need a new trans coil pack at some point.. Only shows the codes when I use the trans really hard. Other than that door ajar. Front grab mounts are broken, I have seen fixes for them.. So far those are the only problems I have had.
Mine is good except for only having heat on. Passenger side. Drivers side is cold
Hey what year is your 3rd Gen. Thank you I’m looking at a 2003 2500
My 08 just hit 200k and has had a new alternator and radiator. The radiator was my fault but I guess my half ton wasn't meant to haul like a 1 ton

My 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 3.7L has a problem with the blower motor not working .. Replaced the ignition switch, resistor and blower motor ...checked the fuses which all look good but blower motor still not coming on ...What's next on the list to replace?
When mine does that I literally just bang on it til it comes back on 😂
How about the manifold exhaust! The HEMI tick! Good video!
+Frank Ortiz Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Mine has that broken bolt now it ticks
The Hemi tick is not the manifold it's the lifter failed. If caught right away you can fix it otherwise lifters lobe the cam and you're screwed!
I’m thinking of a 3rd gen 1500 they are about 5g or less for a decent one but sometimes there is a 4th gen for 5g or less that is more of a ex company truck condition not sure what to get we will see next year when I’m 16
I just picked up a 2002 ram 1500 4x4 with 99,000 for 4,300. It's not rotted out one bit and super solid, just keep looking you'll definitely find a good deal. I've always been a 2nd gen dodge guy myself.
