2006 dodge ram 2500 diesel. I was recently on a road trip and i noticed that all the sudden my oil pressure gauge was reading half as much as usual. i always pay attention to my gauges so it just happened right then. I took it to power dodge for a tech to check it out. the tech said that there was only 3 quarts of oil when drained it. they checked o few things and did an oil change on it and said it was fine. I do not have any oil leaks and it does not smoke any more than normal. 2 weeks later i check the oil and 2 quarts low. still no leaks or unusual smoke. why is the oil just vanishing into thin air and so quickly?

2006 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 4x4. What fuse runs the 4x4 please?

It isn't specified. There is more than one fuse that covers transmission. You would need an auto electrician or a transmission expert to connect a pro grade scan tool computer and diagnose if the switch or solenoid is faulty. A scan tool at this level is bi-directional and can command solenoids to operate and confirm that they do.

Oil pressure gauge in my 2001 2500 dodge ram diesel is at 0. the check gauge light came on. Plenty of oil. what could it be

Any number of things but do not drive the truck. Possible sheared oil pump drive. Possible electrical fault in oil pressure sense and warning system. If it is an emergency you can loosen the oil filter a little to allow it to leak, start the truck briefly and see if oil is pushed out under pressure. This tells you if the oil pump is OK. Personally I would have the truck towed to a garage or dealer.

What should the high and low side freon pressure be on a 2006 dodge ram 2500 diesel?

The re-fill kit for the r-134 will only fit on one of the sides. You want to fill the low pressure side, but be sure you have a gauge not to overfill. he high pressure will be the larger side. But the gauge will only fit on one of the inlets for safety precautions.

Dodge Cummins Diesel

short to ground from the signal wire. resistance to ground makes the needle move. if grounded or shorted to high(+) could cause irregular reading. if your gauge is mechanical you could have an oil filter thats bypassing into the oil cooler and not completely being filtered. good luck...
