I have an 01 24 valve, 193k, 6spd, 4" straight pipe, quadzilla, airdog 100. Decided to replace my leaking/lots and lots of play gear box. Did the gear box, pump, and hoses, had to move my truck out of the garage without hoses hooked up to gearbox (not the smartest I know) fired it up real quick pulled it out and shut it off. Now it runs really rough but I can hear my alt kick in/up and it smooths out then idles rough again. Starts fine but have quite a few codes, P0500, P0463, P0460, P1693, P0523, P0238, P0236, P1475, P1688 :cry: P1693. My theory is I just got lucky and lost the ECM while doing other repairs??? Will check all grounds in the morning and will test alt as well. Thought i was losing alt about 2 weeks ago but it started acting normal again and I blew off testing it.....To add to the mix lost fuel pressure hauling an excavator last week, idle I had good pressure but get on the go pedal and it dropped to 2 psi, caught it quick but it ended up being my water separator on the airdog. New one to me, changed the FF and nothing, Changed the separator and back in business. Have never heard of a clogged water separator anybody else have that issue?? Thanks in advance for any advice with my current trouble!!

Thanks, I should have said I looked up the codes already on here, Thank you for posting the info on them! Before starting this project I didnt have any codes (that I know of, no light) I just find it hard to believe that I shelled my VP, spring a fuel leak, lost a map sensor or major turbo issues, have a speed sensor out,(no abs light) and have issues with the fuel tank all at once. I supposed weirder things have happened though :banghead:

Not all codes will set the cel light, even with the number of them you have. Spin your rear tires and you can set the 500 code, does not mean the sensor is bad. Clear them, drive the truck and see what comes back.

Thanks to all for the suggestions! Got her runnin great!!:thumb1: Checked alt, grounds on and on and on with no luck, when I deleted the codes the 238 code wouldn't delete and stayed on after starting. I finally unhooked my quadzilla and she runs just like normal, plus with it unhooked I was able to delete the 238 code which is the overboost code. Very unimpressed with quad seeing as the turbo timer quit on it about 6 months ago and wouldn't let the truck shut off..... should have checked that thing first off. Now it is in the trash where it belongs! :punish:Looking for tips on what chips you guys run, liked the quad for the turbo timer, warm up timer and all the gauges included but for now gonna look for a gauge pod and set of gauges. Thanks again for all the help!

Learn something new every day!.... Do other brands have this issue or is it just a quad thing? kind of a pain if I can't use my truck for that with a chip, always seem to jump somebody or another one of my vehicles once in a while

Edge Comp doesn't seem to have that issue. Mine is quite old now and survived many jump starts on other vehicles. I've never had a dead battery on my truck yet to this day.

Ya, quadzilla is the only one I have heard do this, and it is a horrible design. I had a buddy that fried the motherboard three times on his adrenaline

You do not fry a Quad from jumping other vehicles. I have jumped many.The reason the Quad goes bad when the host truck is jumped, is due to the inrush of current being too much to handle. The capacitors are discharged & get a huge amount of current draw that goes through semiconductord & pops them.Ed
