l had dead 2 month old batteries in my 2001. Read through threads on dead batterieshere and found info on IOD fuse #12 in junction box.The shop manual said to disconnect both batteries, connect a amp meter between the ground terminal and ground wire - keeping it connected and wait for 3 minutes then check the fuses and relays. The only drain l had was threw the IOD fuse #12 in the junction box I had a 246 mamp drain threw it. Shop manual said should be less than 30. Used shop manual wiring diagram to narrow it down to lights common to that fuse. It was the glove box light. Disconnected it and the amp draw dropped to 1.64 mamps. :)

I had the flatbed hitched up to go get some scrap from a friends house, made it 3/4 around my block and got a dead pedal. I was able to coast back into my parking spot which was nice. I checked codes on the Edge, got a P0121 and a few others I see on occasion. The pedal came back after a minute of sitting but now I'm too spooked to drive it anywhere. I got the explanation of the code from the articles section and will be going through the test steps. I wouldn't be too upset if it were time to step up to a timbos apps. I was able to do my scrap run, buddy still had his work truck, 2016 GMC 2500 so we hooked up my trailer and got it done. I want air conditioned seat…

hello I have a 98.5 ram diesel which gave me dead pedal intermittent the last week just at start up, then run good all day. it might have been worse on cold mornings. now its staying dead pedal. I have codes p01688 p0743 p0463 p1693 I cleaned all the grounds I could find except the one behind the starter was so stuck, penetrating oil and all. im going to have to take off the starter to get it off and clean that connection. could it be fuel filter or weak lift pump? or all having to do with torque converter clutch solenoid ? thanks. any leads, wisdom, experience is much appreciated

Going to be changing fluids and such on my new to me 2002. With only an edge juice is there any need for anything more than a regular parts store replacement paper filter for the air box ? I know most bang for buck would be BHAF. I like the stock look and would prefer to keep the stock box(don't see any cracks in it) If the regular fram filter isn't adequate for the Edge juice i was thinking about the slightly more expensive route of an AFE dry factory replacement for the stock airbox. Thanks

Truck started hard one day and didn't do it for a couple days and it would start hard and sometimes spit and sputter and would come out of it. A few days later the 1693 code appeared but ran fine for a couple days. Then the truck died going down the road and wouldn't start back up. Assuming the vp44 took a **** but just wanted other input

Does anyone know of any issues with removing 5th gear from an NV4500 and driving long distance without it? My wife and I are in Fort Myers, FL visiting family. A couple days ago we we on our way to Tampa and I lost 5th gear. We were about 70 miles from where we're staying, so I made sure the other gears sounded normal and we turned around and headed back to Fort Myers. Seeing as we're about 1100 miles from home, and planning on heading back to Ohio in two weeks, I'm trying to weigh my options on the best way to proceed. I'm thinking that I can just take out 5th gear (and the nut), put everything back together, and deal with the repair w…

2001 2500 2wd auto cummins. Out of the blue while everything seems to be OK. Temp 180 checked by laser heat gun. The check gauges light comes on and temp gauge goes to 240 in about 10 seconds. Turn it off and back on temp slowly raises to 240. This happened as soon as I started it and engine is cold. Last week the ck engine emoji came on and water in fuel. I drained the filter and saw no water. ???? Bad ground?? anybody seen this happen?

Hey guys, Late last year I noticed my front passenger side axle seal was leaking, so I had a local place replace it. Well just the other week, approximately 7 months after the replacement, I noticed it was leaking again. I took it back to the shop and the replaced it again and told me to keep an eye on it and let them know if it started up again. Well here we are a week later and its leaking again. What can the issue be??? All I can think of is that they are screwing it up, or the vent tube is blocked maybe. Any ideas? Second question. Last few days it seemed like my trans is shifting a little different. Not totally sure, just kinda seems it. Anywa…

I started a 6hr drive last friday and 30 min into the drive my transfer case started popping into neutral ( 3or4 times). I was pulling a empty 18ft trailer. I swapped the trailer with a friend that was headed the same way, drove my truck back to the house and it did the same thing twice. So I had to hold the transfer case knob the rest of the way home. Any Ideas on were to start? (Right now I have a bungee cord hold light tension on the shifter)

When the truck is cold the oil temperature is fine when it warms up it goes down to 8 psi. When I accelerate it goes up. I have a edge tuner so the gauge is correct.

Hey Guys, I dug around and tried to see if anyone has posted this so apologies if someone has. Trucks a 2001. Does anyone know if I can test the MAP / Turbo Boost sensor for voltage or to see if its bad? I have a FASS Titanium and 5" exhaust turbo back and that's it. I had a quadzilla at one point which I removed when I got the truck. Had the APPS filter tap and the ECU, removed that. For about a month I have been struggling with my truck having zero power after half throttle. No power, no acceleration, no B*lls. Here is a list of things that I have tested or changed. APPS - Made sure to unhook batteries and have the ECU relearn the …
