Hello I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7 I recently replaced the engine with a reman I put new injectors in also can anyone tell me if these readings look normal
Upload it to youtube (you will need to setup an account) then copy and paste link to video in message box or click the (chainlink) image in the editor portion and fill in the info.
From what i saw on the videos gunny they look good. The only part that i have some reservations on is the 10% positive long term fuel trims staying still. Do the long term and short term fuel trims change while driving/ at higher rpm (get more positive or negative)? If they hover close to zero (both short term and long term) while at higher rpm you may have a very small leak (air/vacuum getting into exhuast). How long ago was engine replaced? If it was very recently it may take a few days for long term fuel trims to readjust. Also did you have gaskets put on the exhaust manifolds and catalytic converter flanges when you had engine swapped?
Other than that if fuel trims stay near zero your engine should run well. If numbers go more than 10-15 negative (running rich) or positive (running lean) for short term at a stable rpm then you might have some more work to do.
It has right at 200 miles on it the mpg says I’m avg 4.9 miles to a gallon it’s been a nightmare im in the military I’m on leave right now do to having to bury my dad that took all my savings then have to replace the motor I’m just trying to make sure everything is ok with it before I drive it long distances to base
Best bet if you are limited on time is to take it to a shop that does drivability diagnostics.
If you're burying your father focus on that. Ask the shop you select if they have a veterans discount as many do. From one veteran to another Thanks for what you do! Been there and done that to a degree. I was out in 93 after 2yrs army but in 2 yrs I still saw half the world which I'd also seen as a military brat in my younger years. Most of my family's served except my younger brother but he's been serving in the wrong way, serving time! As I say he's my brother, love him but do the crime, do the time.
Worse case scenario if you don't get it fixed do you drive another vehicle back?
Where you located and having to drive to as maybe us in here know of shops, techs that could help you.
IF you were local I'd get the scope out and run tests for you no charge.
Post back and let us know where ur from and heading back to base to.
Sorry for your loss! It's tough I'm sure as I can't speak for losing a father but my father's getting up there at 76 , living on his own in Hawaii a single man.
Side note, my mother must've scared him enough as he was married to her twice and divorced the 2nd time by the time I was 3. What do I say? He was a smart man, Lol. Love my mother and all but we get along fine as long as she lives 1000 or more miles away.
It’s been rough I only had my dad growing up and don’t have much family I’m from East Tennessee and I have to drive to California I’ve done 2 rotations in Iraq and was attached with a unit in February to go sit around in the Middle East for 3 months until they decided to let us come home and it’s hard to find good mechanics around here you can trust or they charge a arm and a leg I was saving my money to get another vehicle to have as a backup and have some air conditioning in it lol but then my dad passed and having to replace this motor has me eating bread crumbs lol I can’t afford to have a good shop look at it right now I have a innova 5610 scanner and live data reader I don’t know maybe one day I’ll start having some luck
