    He found out that he has an electrical draw of 2.8 Amps which is running his batteries down. He has disconnected the power wire from the driver side battery to the Power Distribution box, disconnected the Alternator charge wire from the PD box, disconnected the Alternator feed wire from the Alternator, removed the aftermarket stereo, removed every fuse and relay from the PD box, unplugged the trailer plugin receptacle, unplugged the ABS module, unplugged the PCM, and from inside the fuse box n the driver side of the dash, and his test light will still stay lit. He has unbolted the PD box from the left inner fender and turned it upside down and vis…

    Hi, I'm new to this site. Have a question about a transmission issue: Started almost one year ago, while pulling my 5th wheel RV. Had driven about 15 miles and it went into limp mode. Took to a transmission repair shop the following day and they replaced all the solenoids in the transmission. Problem continued, so took truck back to repair shop where they said it had thrown a code for the 3rd and 4th shifting solenoid (malfunctioned). They then replaced that. Problem still persisted. Repair shop then said it needed a new 'brain' or PCM. Took it to a Dodge dealer who replaced this part. Still having problems. Here is what is occurring: When it first started acting up, upon…

    My 02 cummins 2500 4x4 with nv4500 has a rough idle or like a miss after the truck is warmed up. It smooths out if the AC kicks in or you let the clutch out just a little as if you were to roll ahead a bit. The truck has a new vp44, TPS, and FASS titanium pump. I've seen this problem posted on other forums but nobody had a fix to the rough idle. Anyone have this problem or have a fix for it? Any help would be greatful.

    So today I installed a brand new quad Adrenaline v2 with iQuad I drove the truck for 3+ hours with no issue with pedal response.. later on in the day while driving the volt gauge bottomed out. I pulled over looked over everything and it all appeared fine. I went a few places with shutting the truck off and starting back with no issue. I get home truck sits for 1+ hours I go out to install the egt probe after getting required bit and tap. I start the truck to a CEL I pay no mind as I idle into the garage. After I install the egt probe I start the truck and go to give it throttle with no response I check the DTCs to find the P0223 I follow mopar mans diagnostic with no luc…

    Hey Fellas, 02 cummins 3500 dually 6 speed Intermittent dead pedal. Sometimes while driving it sputters bit or it doesn't accelerate, does not stall out, it's just kind of runs flat and pedal does not respond as it should. Intermittent. No rhyme or reason. Some days it's fine, other days seems like it only happens for the first 15 minutes after starting when the truck is cold. It kind of feels like when my APPS failed a few years ago. Could my issue be as simple as resetting the APPS? Have not tried that yet. More info: Current mileage: 250,000 Installed new timbo APPS 2018 @ 226,000 miles I checke…

    Anyone have a suggestion for a pilot bushing rather than the needle bearing in my flywheel. Maybe a supplier. I have sworn off DAP. It looks like a weak design and I've seen pictures of input shafts chewed up after these have gone buggy.

  9. my truck is throwing 4 different codes 1693 1689 0382 0380 and well the vp44 has around 420k miles on it so im thinking that its the pump but i figure i will get some insight first... i was just driving to work like normal and the thing i could feel was losing power and by the time it was ready to get off the hwy turbo was full blast and fuel to the floor and would only do 75 barely and i made it about another 3 miles and it almost shut down and threw those 4 codes and now she is just setting in the driveway....

  10. Hey guys, So the truck will let out huge cloud if sitting for a few days. Clears up to just a little haze right away. Idle for a min then driveaway smokes till the truck is warm. Then gone and cant make it smoke and runs to what I think is perfect. If ran everyday the first startup puff of smoke is small but still smokes till up to temp. I have ran a bottle cleaner with little inprovement. Have been reading for awhile on line now with out any great success. Thinking hoping only injectors cause I wouldnt mind upgrading anyway. Anyone have this same problem.

    Total rebuild on 00 24v. I put in my 02 truck with rebuilt nv4500. I’m having trouble finding the correct wiring harness to make this work. Can anyone point me in the right direction please. Or can I just use the ecm/pcm from my 02 and make it work?

    I've gotten this code recently on my 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 with the Cummins 5.9l diesel. At first I thought it was the APPS as I was getting the dreaded dead pedal syndrome with no other symptoms, but it has progressed to having a little chugging or missing at highway speed under heavy load. Mostly I get a completely dead pedal when first starting out and cold, but then it will usually clear and begin running fine. I've confirmed the APPS is fine with an analog voltmeter hooked up while I am driving; the voltage change is smooth and continuous even when I am not getting any actual throttle response. I've also confirmed the lift pump is fine by hooking up a pressure gaug…

    This code came up on my 2001 3500 Cummins 24v when we had very cold weather. Truck would not start. Replaced filters and truck started back up but code is still on. The truck runs but when I’m going down the road I get a dead pedal and no power but the truck is still running. I take my foot off the pedal and accelerate again and truck is fine. It will do this once and a while but it’s getting worse and worse. I believe it’s the vp44?

    So when I put my truck in drive and try to power brake it. It won’t go over 2000 rpms,it just acts like it’s red lining. I am just wondering if the 0237 code could cause this and what else it could cause? Thanks

    I'm getting this code approx once a week........scanner says it's a low input. At first I thought the MAP sensor was bad, so I replaced it. Still get the code. It's a little irritating, since the truck runs a little weak after it pops that code. Mods are in my sig, with the exception of a Quadzilla boost fooler, which I haven't added onto the sig. I added the boost fooler over a year ago and have had no issues, this is a recent development...started a few weeks ago. Could the fooler have failed?

    It’s the 2nd time this month the check engine light has come on for this code. I replaced it 2 weeks ago with a new one from Cummins in el paso because I’ve been traveling, this morning the light came on again. i thought something looked off getting on the highway today when I saw on gray smoke and a little black from the exhaust. is there something that is the culprit usually other than a sensor? I’ll be home late tonight or tommorow, but if I can fix it on the road that would be cool to.
