Asked by Guru932J9 Apr 19, 2018 at 10:56 PM about the 2003 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT Quad Cab RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

If you own a dodge with a 4.7l that is surging or
hunting and have tried all the sensors with no
results, try checking the power steering fluid and
the power steering fluid pressure sensor.  If u have
the common dodge 1500 stalling problem. You
know, going somewere between 1-60mph and it
stalls while slowing down. Remove the fuel pump
plug find the power and ground wires, I think mine
where the outside wires on the 4 wire plug.
Remove the metal terminals from the plastic plug
and bend the tab in the middle of each terminal so
that it is closer to the other side ( tighter
connection around the male end on the pump
terminals) also remember to bend the locking tang
back out before reinstalling into plastic plug.  If you
have enough wire you can buy new terminals and
fix them to the wire. Plug back into the fuel pump.
