If I let the fuel level get below 3/4 of a tank, the engine starts losing power.
Asked by LAWJR Apr 19, 2014 at 07:13 PM about the 1998 Dodge Ram 1500
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
If I don't keep the tank full, the engine loses power and the truck shakes. I usually only put in about 10 gallons of gas and it clears the issue. It may run rough all of the time but it is certainly worse if the tank gets down more than 10 gallons.

Obviously it's a fuel issue. Have your fuel pump checked for the proper pressure and when was the last time you changed the fuel filter? I'd start there.

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
