1996 dodge ram 1500 5.9 gas I replaced the battery, but the positive cable where the terminal connector is, was just hanging by a thread. I went to the auto part store but they didn't carry that positive cable. I went to the dealer and they wanted $180. I cut the corrosion and the old connector off and replaced it with a connector I bought from the auto part store. I turn the key on and have power, but there is no spark to the starter. I checked the fuse and it was fine. There are 3 wires that are going to the connector and they are all getting juice, but i'm not getting spark to the starter. Do I need a factory cable??

I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT with the 4.7. The plugs for the 4.7 have a reach of 3/4". I believe my mechanic may have installed the plugs for the 5.7 hemi which are 1" in reach. My truck went into the shop perfectly fine and came out with the engine knocking. Is it possible that the 1/4" difference in length caused the pistons to strike the longer, incorrect plugs hence, that caused the knock? The shop admitted to me that the wrong plugs had been ordered. When asked if it was possible that they may have installed the incorrect ones, they told me that the thread size wasn't the same. Well, truth be told, it is the same size thread. Thanks for any input! 2 Answers
