Re: Article Comments - 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 First Look [jjcold417]

So much for "expert auto journalists." Yep. My '71 Chevy had coils, too. In that year the leaf spring suspension was optional and was the preferred setup. Having driven several with rear leafs, I can see why. The coil suspensions were sloppy and weak. I can't say they rode better, either. The new RAM coil set up looks like a far better design. Of course, in my opinion anyone that buys a truck and expects it to ride like a car, should buy...a car. Dusty

A binding or loose Throttle Position Cable can cause this, or a weak or missing Throttle Return Spring. I highly recommend that you get that Lucas stuff out of there. Mopar automatics use a special ATF (ATF+4) that can be easily destabilized by incorrect or incompatible fluids. Regards, Dusty

A sticking, mispositioned or out-of-adjustment Throttle Valve Cable can cause this problem, and in fact is fairly common. In addition, the return spring for the Throttle Valve Cable may be missing or stretched. The most common problem is a sticking pivot shaft at the transmission. To check it, start at the Throttle Body Lever bracket and follow the cable down to the side of the transmission. When the throttle is opened and released, the pivot shaft should return fully to its starting position from curb idle. Low or high fluid levels and a partially clogged filter can sometimes cause the same symptoms, especially in cold weather. There are other possible causes, such as bad electrical connections at the shift solenoids, etc. Regards, Dusty
Re: V6 or V8 ? [sirkeats]

Power is in the eye of the beholder. When I was very young I drove various medium trucks, including a 1949 White 6 cylinder boxed and a 1960 C60 Chevy medium flat bed. I typically hauled between eight and ten thousand pounds and both trucks did an admirable job. I once had 14K on that old C60 and still managed to get from point A to B with no problems handling hills and traffic. There's a guy around here with an old ('86-'91 vintage) Dodge 6 cylinder 1/2 ton pick up that carries bricks, stone and concrete blocks all day long. He's probably replaced a lot of springs, but the 6 cylinder handles it fine. Most people...including myself...don't really need a V8, much less a large V8, but just prefer to have the power. Speed (ie: acceleration) is very important to many people. In actuality a 6 cylinder in my truck would meet my requirements just fine, especially since I've really never loaded or towed to the maximum rating. Even if I did a six cylinder would be able to do the job, albeit without the reserve power most people like. I opted for a V* because like most, I wanted the feeling of power. Best regards, Dusty

Check the Throttle Position Cable that goes from the throttle lever on the side of the throttlebody to the transsmission for binding or a broken (missing) return spring. Regards, Dusty

I've worked on or around motor vehicles for nearly fifty years. In all that time I have never experienced, seen, or even heard of a leaf spring eye-bolt breaking on any car or truck. Using larger pieces, especially fasteners, usually means a decrease in metal quality or heat treating. Its also cheaper in many cases. Dusty
