    So I have read everything there is about this code and parts and followed a lot of steps of troubleshooting! But my question is has anyone done the re-sauter of the transistor inside the vp44 and did it work? I know it’s either my vp and or the ecm. Just still trying to get a good idea on which one to drop the cash on. So so after new fuel pump(17 psi now ??), filter,apps, and a lot of ground wire chasing the truck starts fine but low idle around 6-700 rpm then if you hit the throttle no matter very lightly or peg it to the floor it jumps to 1400 and stays.

  2. I'm new to 2 stroke oil but I'm trying to come up with a good and efficient means of dosing it. I've got a gallon jug in the tool box but would like to be able to accurately measure what I'm putting in. Preferably a sealable container so it doesn't get contaminated throwing it back in the box. What are y'all using? P.S. getting a package from dap today. Injectors going in this afternoon.

    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?

    This morning I started my truck like normal, waited for the wts light to go out and she fired up. Took a couple more rounds than normal. Grid heater cycled like always. Get in and get ready to roll and I see the CEL. I shut her down and check the code. 1291 and that companion code as well. 1693 or something like that. So I turned the key and wts came on and went off after about 6 secs. Started up did fine I went on. Got to work (35min drive) and shut her down. Turned the key and the wts stayed on just like it sat all night. Turned it off and back on and it went off with the rest of the lights. Same thing today after work. So what do I need to look at first? Could it …

    So after reading most of the forums i could find im still haveing the wide open throttle issue. I put a new APPS on it calibrated it started the truck up worked great. But if i turn the truck off and start it back up its wide open throttle again when i touch the gas then back to idle when i let off. But i can unhook the battery cable for 20 minutes or so hook it back up start the truck and it works fine. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Hi guys, I'm experiencing a woo-woo-woo noise. It seems it's coming only while the engine is under load, or it gets louder, with the more load. So..if I'm driving on the highway, and I go up a hill, it gets louder when the engine works harder. If I let off, it goes away instantly. It sounds like something is off balance to me, I'm just not sure what could be making the noise, only while the engine is under load. I pulled the front drive shaft. The wheel balancing weights are still on tires. Tires, brakes, rotors, hubs new in the last 15k or less..and this is a new development. Any ideas to look at? Here's a video..you can hear it pretty clear at …

    I recently installed the mopar1973man high idle kit and it has worked out great. But i have noticed once I turn it off and let the truck idle for a while it will idle up again to 1200 rpm. It this normal after having my 2001 flashed with the smarty due to it being programmed into the system now. I live in clearwater florida and the days i have noticed this have all been above 70 degrees. Do you guys and gals think I have an issue, operator error, or just part of the new system flash.

    98.5 24v. truck has a block heater but it is 110volt 3 pin. I have a transformer from 240v to 110volt so no problem on that side but on the American plug what is what ? I'd guess big pin is earth and other 2 are live and neutral ? Does it matter which is which as it does here (England)

  14. I bought 6 new Bosch RV275 injectors one year ago (the price was right - $425 for the set) and finally installed them last Friday. The original injectors operated for 303,000 miles and had never been removed. They were still performing well – as in smooth idle, good power, and good fuel economy. I didn’t want to push a good thing too far. The job went smoothly with the help of this site. All of the old injector tips were clean considering the miles and years on them. I did notice however, that there is a black coating of something kind of oily / powdery (not sure what it is) in the intake area just below the grid heaters. It is not present in t…

    Hey guys can someone please help me. I had to emergency stop twice now and all the truck did was lock up the rear tires and the front did nothing. Rear abs does not work but the light does not come on to tell me there's a problem. The light does work when you turn the key on, then goes out after a couple of seconds. I'm not sure if my truck is supposed to have 4 wheel abs or not but I found the abs wires cut at the hubs. Any help would be great. Thanks

    For those who aren't familiar my truck is a 96 GMC Yukon with an '02 24 Valve, it is backed by a 6 speed Allison transmission. The tires are 285/75/17 and I have regeared so that at cruising speed (70 MPH) I am right at 1960 RPM. I am currently getting about 10 MPG and I am trying to figure out why. I run a Quadzilla on standard tune, level 4 and I have a bit of a lead foot but most of my driving is freeway miles. I also run a FASS 150 and a 5" straight exhaust with 4" down pipe. Now then...at cruising speed I am approximately 20% throttle and my EGT's are in the low to mid 800's. My load ranges between 30 and 36% based on the slope of the road. The boost at c…

    Hello new to the forum and looking for some advice and information. i unfortunately have to do an engine swap on my 2002 dodge ram 2500. i have been searching all over for information on what i need to do and i have found almost everything i need besides the easiest way to get clearance from the cowl of the fire wall. i have read to take the head off, to take the valve cover and the #5 and #6 rockers and push rod assemblies. I have also heard that i would need to raise the cab to get clearance. If i raise the cab how can i raise it without taking off even more parts that i feel aren't necessary. But i have seen a couple of videos of guys pulling the engine out with the va…

    My truck has 110k miles, edge EZ, 4” exhaust, FASS lift pump, Suncoast triple disk, dynamic valvebody, and an Oregon fuel injection VP. The pump has around 20k miles on it never seen less than 14PSI at WOT, always with the FASS, and always had 2 stroke. It recently FEELS like I’m losing low end power. Very very little smoke ever no matter what tune the EZ is on. Just feels like lately I have to push the throttle a lot more to really get going but once it’s wound up then it seems fine. No CEL. New fuel filter. Also my fuel mileage sucks (250-300 miles/tank) Runs great otherwise. Could something be up or am I just losing my marbles??

    So Im looking for a new clutch I like working with DAP, so I emailed them this: Also need to figure out which clutch I need to get. When I bought the truck I was “told” it had a dragon flow vp44, 6x18’s, .093 lines and tubes, ham cam, springs, and 64/71/14 turbo and all the supporting mods and more. I did verify I have a valair competition dual disk (sintered iron) for pulling, I have taken all the electronics off of it and the only thing I havent verified is if the vp is infact a dragon flow… It does still have a ton of power so it might have it. I don’t plan on racing or pulling with this truck just a occasional driver or weekend truck and pulling a go…
