This 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 is rough. Really rough. Can we get it running and fix a parasitic draw?

Hey, I have a quick question if it isn't too much trouble. Where do you get those nice printouts of wiring diagrams whenever you are working on something? I always end up with crappy blurry pictures whenever I try and find some.

You need to get a remote starter switch that clips to your battery and starter. Kinda makes your job easier when you're testing an engine. Can't believe I got in under 600 likes on one of your very interesting vids Wes.

In my experience as summer help on farms back in the 60s, that 30° + steering slop tends to equal out when you hook up two overloaded bale wagons and pull them down the highway while attempting to beat the rain. Because the brakes are always at least twice as sketchy as the steering, one quickly learns to plan any stops and turns at least a mile ahead IF the U-joints will take survival downshifting!

When I worked for a guy he had me drive an old international truck, told me to stick it in one gear and leave it there and don't stall it, apparently the gearbox had been rebuilt and the gears had been put into the gear box the wrong way and it didn't start too good. Well driving down the road was too slow so I tried another gear and was slower still so put it back where it was, when I got to where it needed to be I stalled it, luckily it started right up again, i was younger then so just did what I was told.

@@mharris5047 Chicago is the third most populous, by almost half a million, but Houston is coming up fast. In the Chicago area, as well as in the counties around St Louis, there is a mandatory biennial emissions test, but no actual inspection. In the years I (in Cook County, the county Chicago's in) don't need an emissions test I just send the state $150ish and they send a new plate sticker. Downstate you don't even need the emissions test. That said, if you were driving something that was an obvious quasi-legal road hazard around here, you'd be a lot more likely to get one of Illinois' Finest turning their lights on behind you than Wes would test driving on gravel roads out his way. ...

Dodge...for when you want a vehicle to look cool in for five years, but made to last 3. We had an old 1977 F-150 in West Virginia. Working a cattle farm and driving when you are 14 was awesome. We loaded that truck down with hay, cattle feed, corn and salt bricks. Sometimes a dead heifer. It had a headache rack in the back that came off a tank. Big winch to pull stuff up. Everyday up and down the mountain, through a creek. That truck was a beast. Then we got an 84 Ram 1500 in 88. That thing broke all the time. Traded it for a Toyota Tundra. That truck still runs on that farm. If you ever eaten a Smashburger, that's where the meat comes from.

We don't have emissions or safety inspections in most of Michigan but if I was going to drive that thing down the road the front end would definitely be repaired (I would probably not repair the A/C, though). More than likely the truck would be relegated to wood hauling, pulling stumps, hauling feed and other on-farm jobs. Since I don't have a farm I don't have to worry about it.

Yes, stealing Catalytic convertors off of parked cars in the city is now a "thing". So the amount of precious metals in a convertor causes thieves to look for particular cars/trucks with original convertors, I didn't know that! "Eric the car guy" has video of someone stealing a convertor off a Honda SUV of his.

Thanks for the video, I drove a dodge farm truck from a field to a guys yard for him about 12 years ago. Man the steering wheel felt like it was connected to the box with a tarp strap it handled so bad. I kinda hinted it maybe needed steering/suspension component work. About 2 weeks later the guy had a new truck. Apparently he took it into a shop to get fixed and they told him go buy a new truck it would be cheaper. over the years I've driven others trucks, it becomes apparent some people get used to things like steering/suspension as it progressively wears. If you want to know how bad it really is get somebody else to drive it and they'll tell you. Take care.

I have a battery cutoff switch for my truck that has nothing wrong with it except a computer designed by the manufacturer to slowly drain the battery over a couple months. When I leave town for extended periods I use the cutoff switch so that when I get back in town a dead battery will not strand me at airport long term parking. On the other hand my 1985 no computer truck can sit for a year and still crank right up like it was just running yesterday.

Ram 2500 are HUGE trucks. You don't see them too often here in Germany. You won't ever find a parking lot where it fits in and it's very expensive to operate a truck of that size. I almost forgot how huge they are, until I saw one about two weeks ago.

My mind said lift pump problem when I first seen it but you did a great job diagnosing the problem. Just seems like I have changed a ton of them. On that truck I would cut a hole in bed floor and pull pump saving some labor. I have done that on a few old ones. Last one was a old Ford van. Took me less than an hour whole job. Even used the piece I cut out to fill hole.
