I thought exactly the same thing. I do have an annoying wine that at first I thought was comming from the tranny, but I believe it may be from the tensionometer stressing to keep the timing chain tight. I will call the dealer first thing Monday to have them check that. I would do it my self but I now live in an apartment complex so I don't have anywhere to work on it temporarly. Thanks for the input. I will keep you all updated. |

I think a fix is on the horizon
I talked with the technician at the dealership this morning. He told me that I was down 2 quarts of oil(with no oil leaks) and found 2 oil fouled plugs. The intake manifold gasket has been leaking on the lower end causing oil to get into the combustion chambers. I looked into the manifold last week, but I didn't see anything(untrained eye). I will update you guys after I get the truck back to let you know the conclusion to this nightmare.

you will not see oil down there unless the gasket is leaking near the throttle body, if its not near it, the oil will be sucked through the engine before it reaches sight from the TB opening.

Question for you. Why would you take your truck to a dealer? They are the worst. I have heard horror storys about the dealer mechanics. My Ex's bother was a dealer mechanic and he used to sabotage customers engines just to create work when it was slow. Did you have a diagnostics test done? |

I just ghad the same thing with no code thrown on a 2000 eam 5.2. The dealer had a hard time finding the problem and guessed tht possibly the o2 sensor could be sticking. there were multiple missfires. They tried an o2 sensor and it did the job. the truck runs fine now.

Re: Multiple missfiring
everybody is missing the obvious.... fuel! the first thing I would do is obtain a fuel pressure tester. fuel pressure should climb to spec.s within 2 seconds or so as yo turn key on (pump will run for 2 sec.s when key is turned to "run" position) and it should hold pressure for a while (@ least 5 min.)
if it doesn't reach spec.s AND HOLD (usually 30 - 40 psi), possible problems: 1. bad pump 2. bad/leaking fp regulator 3. restricted/plugged "filter" All these components are in the fuel tank.... but your fuel test port is on the fuel rail.... I would definitely confirm/rule out these items! |

Re: Multiple missfiring
actually, you're missing the obvious.
and that is that this thread has been dead since '05. well done, give yourself a pat on the back for reviving an old thread.

Re: Multiple missfiring
it may be a dead topic, or the R1500 may have been sitting in a BARN since '05.
as you were.... and yes, I assumed that it was still an open ended thread, as most top notch forums close or lock threads after a certain length of inactivity. |

Re: Multiple missfiring
the rule here is that if a thread hasn't been posted in for 3 months, it's dead. and we don't bring back old threads.
i can't close this because i'm a regional and not assigned to this section.
