1997 dogde ram 1500 5.2 magnum starts and idlesbut makes a loud air sucking noise and just starts chugging when i try to accelerate.this happened suddenly while on the highway. after sitting for a whi

Bad idler pulley (belt), bad alternator bearings, water pump..pretty much anything driven by the belt would be primary suspect. If all that checks out bad engine bearings are also a possibility. As well.

Highly unlikely. Car/truck manufacturers don't apply the old VW beetle philosophy that reuse is cheaper; they redesign every year. Even if it would FIT, the wiring harness is bound to be significantly different between the two model years so most things would not connect up correctly.

smokinbiskit......ya..its a truck there isnt cv boots its a solid front axle

some of these , you turn on your ignition key, but do not start the vehicle, and then push the accelerator to the floor 3 times within 10 seconds, then turn off ignition, then turn the ignition back on, oil change reminder , should be ok now.

CHECK YOUR AC DRAIN AND MAKE SURE IT IS OPEN

good day, you may try replacing your automatic transmission fluid, a good run will be noticeable, hope this helps, have a nice day

If you've been 4X4 driving a lot it could be that your gears are binding up . Meaning . . if you've ever had your vehicle locked in 4 and decided to hit pavement without unlocking, ( even if it was only a short distance, ie: a block or to), your gears have a bind on them which in time will really cause major problems. Starting with being hard to get into and out of 4WD and grinding noises. there are a few other things it could be instead but starting with this no cost attempt to finding out, I suggest you try it. You might be suprised. Put the truck in neutral . Jack up the front and rear of the truck and secure withjack stands. the wheels should give up what bind there is at that point.

sounds like a vacuum leak. spray w-d 40 around vacuum hoses to find out. intake manifold might be leaking or sucking air as well use w-d- 40 there as well. if it has a turbo charger it may be going out. water pump, alternator and belts can make winning noises as well.

this could be seveal things ,if it is running now and no more problems you my have had a vaper lock in the fuel line ,as for the rear seal thseal is around 20.00 bucks but this is a fairly labor intensive job

I do know these are good for sucking in the gasket for the pan on the bottom of the intake and causing spark knock and oil consumption but not a throttle body gasket.
