Last year I had the dead pedal syndrome on my 2001 Cummins 3 hours away from home pulling our camper. I limped the truck home with the camper after our summer vacation. Anytime I would start from a dead stop, extremely slow acceleration. It would run down the interstate fine once up to speed. FF, I changed out the lift pump which must have been failing because it wasnt pumping enough fuel. Also replaced the stock exhaust to a 4", added 4 guages & installed the BHAF system. New tires, new ball joints, new power steering pump and I thought I was all set for awhile. Last week while hauling the trailer, I had the dead pedal syndrome once again everytime the tranny would shift. For about 1/2-second, the truck dogged down and then sped back up. I was thinking my injector pump so I brought it in. Injector pump is fine, they found that my wastegate was stuck. So while replacing that, they found out that my housing for the wastegate is cracked. I have not seen my truck yet but he told me on the phone it cracked where the wastegate is. Doesnt sound like the turbo housing is cracked, so, can I just buy the wastegate housing or do I need a new entire turbo?? Turbo's are expensive with the exception of these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dodge-Ram-2500-Ram-3500-Turbo-HX35W-Diesel-Turbo-Cummins-5-9L-1994-2001-/150843665334?fits=Year:2001|Make:Dodge&hash=item231efbabb6&item=150843665334&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr I called and talked to a rep there. He said the only thing different is the housing where the exhaust mounts to the back of the turbo. They are brand new and come with a 3 month warranty. I dont need more power so I just want the same size turbo. Anyone know good or bad about this product? Man I love my truck but when it rain, it pours................. Thanks
