I’ve joined the group of dead ecm’s. I had the delayed WTS light for a few years. Other than that no other problems until last week. I went to start the truck and no WTS light, no lift pump, and no start. I sent it off to Auto Computer Specialist in Florida after seeing they were recommended on here. They received it yesterday about this time. I haven’t heard anything from them yet, I figured it might be a couple days before I hear anything. Can someone who has used them give me an idea of the turnaround time?  I will post back on here how my experience goes with them. 

I just got my ecm back from them last Friday. They had a back log of work so it took them about a week to even get to mine. From the time I shipped mine off and had it back in my possession it was about 2 1/2 weeks. But now my truck runs great. 

Thanks for the heads up larbow! I’ll give them until sometime next week before I try to contact them. 

They got a about 7 day turn around on my PCM that I burned up. Damage beyond repair but they had a replacement and it flashed correctly. 

Thanks Mike, I’ll let everyone know how it goes for me. Glad they got you handled well.

Guys I need a little help. It’s been so long since my ECM was working right I have forgot how it should work with the WTS light. I got my ECM back from Auto Computer Specialist today. Good turnaround time, they got it Tuesday and sent it back to me Friday. Got it back in and immediately got a WTS light. Bled fuel system and truck fired up and sounded good. I shut it off and went to restart and I got no WTS light, but the truck started just fine. I checked A/C voltage and it’s good. Is there some kind of delay when you won’t get a WTS light? It was my understanding that you should get it anytime you turned on the key?  Truck is starting fine without a WTS light it seems. A/C voltage was.017-.020. Any help appreciated. 

When everything is warm the WTS only comes on very briefly, less than second. If your not looking at it its easy to miss. Is it possible you just missed it come on?

Yes that's right BUT even more so as they get older and as parts become harder to find and as we're all herded into battery vehicles

He'll start making his own parts and sell them on the internet in order to keep us all going. He make sure we go at least till 2050.

I'm 57 so won't bother me ☺

Thanks dripley, you are probably right. Maybe I blinked or something. Seems everything is okay today. Went to town today and got a wts light every time I went to start it. Whoever was keeping track, another +1 for auto computer specialist. 

Send a PM to @pepsi71ocean.

White,

 

My WTS light seems to work properly, but I have noticed that if I am using the key to bump the lift pump but not allowing the engine to start (to bleed air or fill the filter), I will get funny reactions from the WTS light.  I am certain that it is a timing issue and giving it confusing instructions. (off on, bump no start, off, on, bump no start)  If I give it a few minutes when I go back it is normal.

Thanks Haggar, that’s exactly what I was doing, the bump to engage lift pump to bleed air. Everything has been good since then.

It better not happen anytime soon, I just got a new car with low miles and a loan  and it burns diesel, that stuff better be available for at least next 20 years.

Electric cars out here will not make it. Too far from charging stations and you'll need a diesel generator to just recharge if your stuck some where without power. We still have people out here living without city power. Just the logging industry needs diesel powered equipment and diesel trucks to bring logs to the mill. Farmers still will need diesel powered tractors and diesel trucks to haul cattle or food to the market. 

 

 

Electric is coming and thats just fact of life. But fossil fuel is not in any danger of dissappering any time soon. Even the the far left Democrats cant make that happen like they want to.

Yup. This is true. Still at this time its just little commuter cars.

 

Still in all all the heavy duty stuff is handled by diesel engines. When I see trains running strictly electric then I'll worry. Still even today trains are diesel over electric motors. I don't think diesel engines are going anywhere. 

 

I still think at some point electric cars will fail. Because the US electricity grid is not capable of handling that kind of load. I've got a friend that has a family member in Cally with a electric car and pays MORE to recharge his electric car because of the price of electricity down in Cally is just scary high in price. Then if you use too many kilowatts then the price jumps again and nearly doubles. 

 

This just makes it better to own fossil fuel vehicle over electric. But even in Cally it $4.xx a gallon for either fuel.
