The model is 2006 Dodge RAM Hemi 5.7 liter Ram 1500

hard starting, cranking 3 times to start, engine lite finally came on--- 1. shows problem with coil--changed 2. problem with O2 in block--- changed. 3. did a fuel pressure check on original pump--- replaced with new fuel pump 3000 miles later had same problems did a fuel pump pressure test again and it would not hold pressure. upon removing 3000 mile pump it was hot to the touch so it must have burnt out. just installed another new one (12000 miles/ 1 year warantee)
How many miles are on the engine? When was your last tune up? If it's been a while then I would start by changing the fuel filter, air filter, pcv valve, oil change, etc.
Well, that belt drives everything including the water pump. When the belt broke and you drove it no coolant circulated and the exhaust glowed from overheating. A red glowing manifold usually only happens from excessive heat caused from modified engines. But in this case this is almost surely what happened. You are lucky you did not blow your engine. Park it and let it cool down for a few hours.
Do you notice does the problem seem to worsen in rain or humid weather? Try checking the MAF sensor it may just need to cleaned it can cause problems like this. Be sure to use MAF cleaner nothing else. The sensor may also be bad but try cleaning it first, its cheap and only takes about ten minutes.
My Lexus es 300 most often when engine is warm will not shift in to last gear. Stop engine start it will shift ok when engine is cool. engine pings kock senores. When in gear at high speed the car runs like new?? Car run bad in hot weather. VSC light on. Red light looks a circle with red line through it comes on not always..
The drain on the evaporator is stopped up,look for it directly bellow the ac lines ,where they go into the car,under the hood,it will be on the bottom of the blower box,use air pressure to blow into the drain to clear it out.
Your transmission is either overfilled or cooler sounds like it is plugged and not letting your fluid cool properly causing it to foam and run out the vent. I would recommend first checking your fluid with the engine running and in park to insure proper levels then if that looks good pulling the transmission lines from the radiator and blowing air through it to clear any trash that may of accumulated. You can even purchase an external cooler to help cool your fluid just be sure that when you install it to make sure you install it after the radiator or the side that your fluid returns back to the tranny and not before the radiator.
