Good morning been fighting with my truck for sometime it’s all manual no electric locks, windows, cruise etc. ive had the truck a few years now don’t drive often but when I get ready to it’s a flip of a coin on my gauges I’ve tested the cluster it’s good I went through grounds a while back while Also changing cam sensor and checking others. Problem was gone for six months but once again has returned I’ve searched forums for a while and can’t seem to find anyone with these issues seems like I remember a code 1698 haven’t got to check alternator yet but it’s on the list any other ideas or suggestions?

Go over the articles look up P1698 code and then look for the CCD network article. Then you'll want to test your alternator and do the W-T ground mod.

 

As for CCD error double check the big connector in the PDC and the two connectors near the valve cover on the cowl.

Hey k thanks I’m searching 1698 now that just popped in my head as I was making the post it seems like I chased that one a couple years back and never had any luck I’ve done the ground mod planning on testing the alt. As soon as I get off. Thanks again

 

Either P1698 or P1694 codes. One is PCM failure on the net. Then the other is ECM failure.

Got my gauges back ?. Gotta finish sorting wiring out. But while tracing wiring I discovered my harmonic damper is shot, was looking at a fluidampr then seen people talking about a viscous damper from the 6.7. so I’ve been searching posts for two days is there a reason why it won’t work on a 02? my eyes are sore and my data low lol I’ve read and read about 3rd gen but only a couple small mentions of the 2nd gens would much rather spend $150 then $400. If it’s compatible

I can't say whether or not a 6.7 viscous damper will work on an 02, but I have read that engine OEM dampers that have replaced with the 6.7 viscous damper, it is necessary to remove the damper when replacing the serpentine belt.  You may want to check that out if it matters to you. 

 

I have the Fluidampr on my truck ( 4 years and 90,000 miles) and no need to remove it when changing the belt.   For me the Fluidampr works as advertised and there have been no issues.
