How do I change fuel filter in 2005 Ram 1500 4.7L? If it is located in tank are there any tricks to getting it out more easily? My engine seems to surge from idle to around 1100 RPM down to 600 RPM when I come to stop, change from drive to reverse, and when I bring truck back to stop again. Then it smooths back out after couple seconds. am I barking up the wrong tree here with the fuel filter? Thanks Jerrod

it's inside of the tank, you need to remove the fuel tank get to it.

sounds like you should start by dropping the pan and changing the filter, put cheap fluid in it or reuse the old fluid if its not too bad bring it to a shop and have a transmission flush performed with a good flush machine your valve body is sticking and this should clear things up please rate -jeff

Sounds asif you need a REAL GOOD Flushing of Fuel System, Now you can EASyly Purchase a Cleaning kit and Fallow Directions ---OR-- Pay a SHOP to do it For Some Anbelievable Price.

What you did in Tromping the gas Pedal is what I call Gettin the COB WEBS out Fuel Injecter Cleaner INTANK is a Good way to KEEP it Clean but a GOOD FLUSHING is what gets all the Junk OFF & out of the Internal Fuel Parts. Hope this Helps Rate me PLEASR

I think you have ruled out the engine with all the parts you have replace. The transmission torque convertor is in lock up mode all the time. The engine is having to hard of a time to stay at the normal idle. The over drive clutches and soleniod are most likely damaged in the transmission.
I think you should take the vehicle to a trasnmission shop , The can check the torque convetror soleniods and pressure control soleniod.

The oil light coming on bothers me. I know you have the rebuilt engine in the vehicle but I think the oil pump in the engine is starting to go out or could be weak. The lower bearings connected to the crank shaft might be starting to leak. Have the oil pressure checked .
