Car Makes - September 2007

I have a 1994 Dodge Ram 1500, and just the other day i was driving home and saw my RPM jump to about 3000 (was running at only about 1500 - 2000 before that). I didnt think anything of it. About a mile up the road it happened again, but this time i could not accelerate (like i was trying to drive in neutral) Occasionally the engine would connect with the transmission and i could drive a few feet before it would disconnect again. I just parked it out in a parking lot until i could get it going enough to make it home.

Now when i start the truck (while its cold) everything seems to run fine, but as soon as it gets a little warm there is a loud grinding noise (like the gears on a diesel engine) that comes from the transmission. Is it possible that this sound is actually coming from the torque converter (maybe the stator's clutch went out??) It also whines as i accelerate relative to the RPM

(fluid has been checked and is good and full).....

Thank you very much for your answers.

Man i love them both!! but which one would you prefer?? FOr azera, you can buy the Limited version with full option for just 30,000 and it includes all the high tech which should be like $40,000 or more. And same as c-class, but i think Mercedes and other company try to copy what hyundai is doing, (most safety features comes standard??) i mean do they really need to do that?? anyways ...

i was looking into getting my 94 300zx's computer reproggrammed to get a lottle more power out of it. it is not the turbo model and i hear that have the computr reprogrammed can give alot of power. However i have heard that doing that can kill your motor way sooner than if you had left it stock. And how does a computer uprade work? i heard it just floods your motor with gas and cause more power, but less gas mileage. PLease some on tell me pro's and con's and price.

92 Honda Civic lx 5spd sedan, stalling and at times won't start.

I have replaced the following= fuel tank, fuel pump, main relay
When I accelerate thru the gears ....the car bogs
The car won't start sometimes...... if it does start it will snuff out. I wait and restart and seems to run ok.

Does it need a timing belt adjustment?
