Looks like pulling the transmission is almost your only option to installing a new crankshaft positioning sensor. 95 Rams had a reseccessed 6 mm hex head ..96 and up had a 13 mm bolts. Holding the sensor in place. Your thoughts?
I wouldn't worry about a little piece of wire in the bellhousing. It will get chewed right up. If it was a bolt or something , then it would have to come back apart.
Mine has no cranking over but replaced crank sensor cap rotor solenoid spark plugs no spark to cap rotor not turning over just cranking fuses are all good too
Hey man good video by the way, I have the same truck for 12 years now. Never had a major problem with it alway been keep as well. Started to get hard to start then one day just wouldn't, try to start then start for a brief half second then wont again till I let it set for a couple of hours. Gets gas fine, I changed plugs wires Distributor cap ignition coil and still the same... Think it will be the crankshaft? Or something else, no check motor light on...
The Rumbler I have a problem I have a 97 Dodge Dakota I was going to work all the lights quit brake lights headlights turn signals I stopped and put a fuse in they all work for about maybe a half a mile and all blew out again and now it won't start any suggestions
I have 94 dodge Dakota 318 quit on the road then started up and keeps on quitting , replaced coil and then crankcase movement sensor and still have no spark and will not start.....
@@JanYi2023 everyone gotta learn somehow... I don't know much but still work on my vehicle... I don't got $600+ to spend on a single repair at a shop so ya... that's why some of us would rather work on our own vehicles also it's my only vehicle
I hear you. I am on the same predicament like you. If we had money we wouldn't be driving 1998 trucks, most people around me drive brand new $ 50k and up trucks.
@@JanYi2023 ya I've talked to few people that own newer diesels etc and all they say is "I've been where you are or I worked my ass off for it" my guess is worked alot and saved alot of $
I have a 2000 Dodge it starts and runs and drives as long as I don't shut it off the second I shut it off I can't restart it until it cools down like two three hours later I can start it again what's the problem is that a bad heat sensor somewhere I don't understand what the problem is can anyone help me
garymun420 did you find out what it was? I’ve been having same issue for the past 6 months changed fuel pump new wires new plugs new sensors and it keeps on doing it wonder if it’s the auto shutdown relay or a bad wire?
What info you want, go graduate from University. Lisa no matter how much info the guy gives you never will be able to do what he did anyway. Don't be delusional Lisa.
As soon as you mentioned the transmission swap, I knew what the problem was. I immediately thought “crank sensor wires!”. Common situation.
John Acuff yea that happen to my brother once
I just swapped mine to a new trans and now I have no start at all
That's a common issue with Rams and Dakota s too I've seen ASE certified mechanics do this so don't feel bad lol

BTW my 1995 Dodge Ram is a one owner. @ 200 k hopeful another 200 k.in our future
I stared it touching the wires, at least to move it home but the air and windows don't work.
I would leave that little wire.it should just burn up in there..lol..
But seriously,I'd leave it
Thanks for the vid bro👍
ha ha I did same on a v 6. all ya had to do was undo 2 hexed allen screws to remove it. made u feel silly. I was like wtf
The Rumbler I have a problem I have a 97 Dodge Dakota I was going to work all the lights quit brake lights headlights turn signals I stopped and put a fuse in they all work for about maybe a half a mile and all blew out again and now it won't start any suggestions
Could anyone tell me why my 97 Dodge Dakota keeps blowing fuses
What fuse it keep blowing? And do you have any other electrical hooked to battery or something that's pulling more voltage than normal factory?
Shud be able to get that out thro bell housing.. Without droping
Yeah that will do it. I am glad you are doing it and not me. If it was me I would of junk it by now.
Haha
I wish that mine was a 5-speed mine is an automatic but it does have the 5.2
I have a 95 1500 no fuel to injectors changed fuel pump
I’m at the same point
I have 94 dodge Dakota 318 quit on the road then started up and keeps on quitting , replaced coil and then crankcase movement sensor and still have no spark and will not start.....
Did you find the problem?
Im having the same problem
5.9 !!!!!!
wish there was more on how to do this job
Roll your sleeves up and get going, that is how you do it and if you don,t know this much about vehicles you shouldn't be doing it anyway.
