Could you bring that over here so I can review what is going on? I'd love to help I need to know what they found to help you out. Stupid HOA rules.

Geno's sells the replacement dipsticks if needed. 2nd Gen Cummins have been 11 quarts for a long time. Its only when you switch to 3rd Gen the 12 quart oil system came to being.

Most likely a bad APPS sensor. The is a idle validation switch inside the APPS sensor. So if you have mess with or adjusted the sensor its possible you are stuck in throttle mode and idle will not happen. I suggest getting a Timbo's APPS and replace your APPS sensor, this should fix your idle issue. No ELECTRONICS the Timbo's APPS is fully mechanical. Now stock APPS. As you can see it requires electronics to make the idle validation work and misadjustment can and will affect idle speed.

@Sycostang67 I'm sorry that you're stuck with your ECM not working. I know you're upset, but calmly call ACS and find out what information you can about the repairs they have done and any other process or testing BEFORE the ECM is hooked up again. There is a solution, but we have to make sure the truck is ready and does not have another issue in the wiring or another device that will cause the same damage over again.

Hey there gang, I'm still here working at the website. I know there are people there that just don't understand why I've changed in appearance and my nature of being. Sadly, the whole aspect of my life was permanently altered when I had my last run of cancer. You have to realize I'm no longer able to work as a mechanic and do Cummins diesel work at a commercial level. I have an ostomy bag hanging on the front of my belly that is a constant reminder of the cancer I fought through alone. I deal with depression on a mild level because all the things I enjoy doing are gone! I can't lift more than 40 pounds because of hernia risk. My makeup is my way of making the most of the life I have left. As much as I love to turn wrenches now you toss in the fact that my shop is gone due to the mudslide here. Some people ask why you don't just put on your cowboy hat and go back to wrenching. Sorry, I can't I've got medical limits that prevent me from doing the things I love. This is why the character Titanium was created to help deal with my depression of not being able to work on diesels, I can't do a lot of things now because I need to keep my stoma and ostomy clean at all times. Infection at this point could cause huge problems for my health. What is left of my toolbox and tools, a lot of my sockets spilled out. My makeup and character "Titanium" create that boundary because I'm usually dressed up. Yes, the dress code I wear some usually shirts like my "Don't like me F___ OFF Problem solved! I've got another shirt that says Fun Fact: I Don't Care. At any rate, this is all about the laughter and smiles I create while I'm in Titanium character. My medical team loves the makeup and shirts I wear. Even when I'm out in public I've got teenagers yelling out over the parking lot of Albertson's, "I Love You Titanium!". The more I'm experimenting with movie set makeup, like Mehron and other high-quality makeup providers. This is what I now enjoy as fun is getting into makeup and making smiles and also supporting other cancer patients and medical patients. Yes, I have a following on TikTok members with similar issues. As for the nature of being. That has been changed too. I'm tired of the people who just say, "I'll pray for you" and offer zero help. It's gotten even worse now. Just now found out my neighbor, who actually his water line actually caused this issue, is willing to create a GoFundMe page for Mark, but no help for me. That is just absolutely rude. The fact since the landslide, the Dischinger Family is the only one to come help us with the clean up. Even my church group is not even offering to help. I'm sick and tired of all the "fake love" or "fake help" towards us as a family unit. I'm sick and tired of people posting this all over Facebook in turn does nothing to bring help. Everyone knows what happened but no additional help has come, and it has led to a lot of conversations. Yeah, it's been over a month still a huge mess. Month later its just the Dischinger Family and Us (Mark, Suzanna, and I) cleaning this up. Just a few days ago, the Rupp Family had a major mudslide come down through their orchard and cow pasture and made a huge mess. I know they are very religious people too. I told the owners, "I'm NOT going to say the same old, I'll Pray for you." No, I did the right thing. "Is there anything I can do with my abilities to help you and your family with getting your business back on its feet?" Yes, even as broken as I am I offer help to my local community.

Auto Computer Specialist does full wiring repairs and testing. Just a tidbit to aid in the adventure.

My only problem is this test was designed for home person to test. If you pull the alternator and bench that is done under full load. Either way excessive AC noise will cause... VP44 damage (PSG, P1688 or P1689) ECM damage (P0606 but could be a all hi or lo volt codes of all sensors) PCM damage (P1698 code typically but also code have hi or lo volt code of sensors) AC noise puts a lot of stress on transistors and IC chips. On my truck it made the cruise control to wander +10 or -10 cycling past it's set point of 65 MPH. Either way AC noise pollutes the AC signals from HAL effect sensors like crank sensors or speed sensors like ABS.

Small correction...

@Tweety Bird And I had to get out of here and get some downtime. Extremely stressful to get up every day, looking out the living room window at an entire mess of my shop buried under tons of mud and dirt. It was wonderful to just go out north of McCall, ID for about 4 days. We didn't do anything but rest. Now we have returned home and are going to start making moves to clean up the main house with all the unpacking from moving to my place. Lots to do. Then still need to handle the mess in my driveway of my shop. Here shortly I'm going to post up a Go Fund Me Page and we are going to attempt to start heading towards normal life again some how. Anyone who wishes to help out, I will not turn you down. As for those who just want to send Prayers, thank you, but it doesn't clean up the mess, replace my shop or my tools that were lost. Beast and the RV are up near Upper Payette Lake, Idaho Miss Mollie on her first camping experience.

it seems like it's mostly fuel related issue. You can't obtain the speed you are requesting of the engine. The idle speed is lower. Be aware idle speed will change with coolant temperature, but typically when it's way high, like above 225℉. I've played with a rheostat and varied the resistance of engine coolant to see what it controls. IAT will change the aspect of the timing of the VP44. The higher IAT is much more stable for efficiency. (80 to 140℉) is optimal. I'll keep thinking on this why I'm working here on the site. I'll dig for an answer.

What is your lift pump pressure to the injection pump? Optimally, you should see 15 to 17 PSI of fuel pressure to the injection pump. Sounds like it's starving for fuel. Measure this at WOT (Wide Open Throttle) at highway speeds to be sure you have plenty of fuel pressure under heavy demands. Here in Idaho, I just got back from camping up in McCall, Idaho, and it was about 100℉ (37°C) outside for the last few days. Remember, I'm running Beast with a 200℉ Thermostat from a 2012 6.7L Cummins with zero issues, even towing my RV. With my Quadzilla I rarely see above 140℉ fuel temperatures, 175℉ engine oil temperature. The only device capable of failure without codes is the VP44. There is several cases where the VP44 just no longer will fuel properly and just not throw any codes being its consider failed within specifications. Sadly its true. ECM will typically have a series of low/high volt codes and P0606. PCM will typically throw P1698 IIRC. This combo is roughly 17,600 pounds (7,983 kgs) rolling up grades of 7% no issues.

You could use the part number lookup up tool then do a search on the internet of the part number it would tell you more about the bolts and nuts.

Both @Tweety Bird and I gotta have a break from all this. I had to deal with rusted slide pins on the calipers front and rear axle. We managed to find enough of my tools to at least do a simple repair. Suzanna has been busy packing the RV so we can go take a break camping locally. I'm kind of amazed. Got the front brakes done with slide pins. Both side you had to beat the pins out of the boots. The last time I did brakes at 350k miles till now with 497k miles and rolling. Finished this project. Sadly I found my MPG loss. Driver side rear was stuck on the side pins and ate those pads up about 1/4 of a inch left.

Correction. It only reports commanded timing only.

I spent a good part of the day trying to recover from a loss of search engine ranking. Yeah, I have been super busy dealing with insurance agents and people coming and going. Now things are settling down, I jumped back into the website more so. On to the website stuff. My biggest hit was a problem called Content Layout Shift, or CLS for short. We had most of the mobile phone pages were as high as 0.44, which is a huge fail. Now to see this for me I have to logoff and view from a guest level. Yeah this started to explain the problem why the search engine is dropping search results we are falling out of the first place. Now to fix this problem, being I have a dynamic webpage. Mopar1973Man.Com will allow you on a desktop to pull the window frame smaller width-wise and the webpage will automagically change from desktop, to tablet, then to mobile format screen. Basically, we need to make sure that frames for Google Ads are pre-laid out, in other words, reserve space on the screen for the ad to be placed without skewing any page text or graphics up or down. Inside the backend of the website, I have a way to add CSS scripts to the theme so I can alter the way information is displayed. Here is my Custom CSS /* GOOGLE AD CODE FOR RESPONSIVE ADS */ #ipsLayout__main .adsbygoogle { width: 320px; height: 300px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } @media (min-width:500px) { #ipsLayout__main .adsbygoogle { width: 480px; height: 300px; } } @media (min-width:800px) { #ipsLayout__main .adsbygoogle { width: 780px; height: 300px; } } @media (min-width:1050px) { #ipsLayout__main .adsbygoogle { width: 1040px; height: 300px; } }Now you have to go back over your Google Adsense code to add a bit of custom code around the Google Adsense code. <div id="ipsLayout__main" class="adsbygoogle"> <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-0000000000000000" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <!-- Header Ad --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-0000000000000000" data-ad-slot="0000000000" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </div>Here is how the magic works. The custom CSS script creates a container on the webpage. I'm more worried about the height pixel more so than the width. It's the vertical shift of information on the page that is where the issue of CLS comes into play. The CSS script checks the screen size (window) and then, if the window size is at the "min-width" value, then the reserved space is width and height values to the right on the same line. This keeps the layout from moving as the ad loads from Google. The <div> tags in the HTML code of Google AdSense this is what create this container in the code. The results of the code change below. The Google side panel is on the right showing the CLS value of a few random pages.

Look for anything with looseness... Shocks - remove and check for gas charge and suppression. Weak shocks can allow the the axle to bounce. Tie Rod Ends - look for any loose tie rod ends. Ball joints - Check for vertical movement by prying upwards on a hanging tire. Tires - Any deformity? Properly balanced? Wheels - Are your wheels true and now bent or out of true? Steering shock - It helps, but it's not a cure-all fix, either like some websites mention. Some people omit this shock.

I would like to welcome @Sufarry to the staff and he will be handling the Gallery Moderation. He's going to get people posting pictures and sharing their truck photos. Thank you.

@Sufarry It was a great conversation on the phone. Sorry, I've been missing in action for a while between the landslide, clearing @Tweety Bird place out, and moving here, and then my bladder cancer. My notes on this after this hour-long phone call. It is not mechanical that we can find it's a bad signal being created by the ECM and feeding the VP44 the bad information, which makes it knock. I know he is waiting for a Cummins crank sensor to arrive. I've got a few ideas, but I just have to wait for the sensor to arrive for the owner to reinstall the starter and give it a try.
