No you can't all the fuses under the hood are live 24/7 so there is no way to shut it off... That why I told you about the fuses in the cab that are key switch active.

Done...

PM sent...

You might consider pulling the injectors and pop testing them.

Bands adjusted properly? Valve body issues? Pressure issues? :shrug:I know my stock 46RE in my 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 has never had any debris in the pan since I've owned it! (112K to 149K from 2002)Auto trans are not my cup of tea...

I noticed the same thing to. I know this filter is not going to filter properly either because the core roll is larger and the seal ring isn't cutting the roll like in the past and the roll being narrower is allowing it to slide in the can vertical. So now I know this fall I'll contact Debbie in Nampa, ID and find out if she has update filter part for me. www.wefilterit.com

Here is a corrected link. But your going to need to get past limited member... Let me know I'll get you hooked. http://forum.mopar1973man.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=220

Late to the party as usual... :banghead:Hmmm... Strange as it is MoparMom is tone deaf the upper freq's she has a hard time hearing like the phone ringers (digital).But its great to have another tech to the family.

Fuse 9, 11, 17, or 19...

You've got transmission problems it sound like. 83% of throttle to hold 40 MPH running 2,748 RPM's... Holy Cow! That a lot of drag going on... Typically at 55 MPH for me is about 8-15% of throttle at 1,689 RPM's consuming roughly 2.4 GPH and load of 10-20% on semi-flat ground.

Hook it up here this is the start / run fuses of the power distribution. (Cab fuses)

Just yank that auto out and stuff a manual 5 speed in...

Hmmm... Correct me if I'm wrong but the Edge module is under the hood too. I really do wonder if it either the module under the hood cooking or is the display cooking in the cab (A-pillar)?I know the Edge EZ had water issues with the module leaking.Edge Comp was the only series I know of that was fully in the cab. The Edge Juice went back under the hood. But thinking back I never heard of Edge EZ problems from heat. (Thinking out loud)

Where is a slobber rag wipe up the keyboard? Oh, smoked meats and me don't last long at all.

I would switch back to standard green or yellow coolant and see what happens... Would be weird to find out the coolant is a factor to wild swings..

No. I'm not doing maintenance this time.I'm going to stay mostly to my own fire station. They have already elected a maintenance person in Whitebird Idaho which is getting paid. Great for him. But at least I don't have to spend long hours working on trucks. All I got to do is report any issues to the Fire Chief and/or Chairman of the Board.

Sorry to hear about your wife I'll keep her in my prayers... :pray:Reliable is a good thing to chase, especially when a family member health isn't good. Ok then look at it from another angle on the tires then. Look at availability and prices between 16 and 17 inch wheels. More or less why get something that might be difficult to replace or might cost more.

Cut out Rogan... :drool:I love smoke salmon or tuna... Yummy... Thinking of that I got some in the fridge some where...

Valid point... I've measure dash temperatures as high as 140*F in the sun. That's why I moved the ScanGauge II under the dash because it would darken the LCD screen from just the sun. Since its moved no issues. Are you selling the truck?

Maybe or maybe not... Depends on how hot the electronics might of gotten. It might be other things too. [h=2]Possible Causes[/h] [*] Wiring & Connectors [*] Fuel Injection Pump Relay Output Circuit Open [*] Ground Circuit Open Or High Resistance [*] Datalink (+) Circuit Open [*] Datalink (+) Circuit Shorted To Ground [*] Datalink (-) Open [*] Datalink (-) Shorted To Ground [*] ECM

(Sigh) The common display failure... It seems both Edge and Quadzilla both have the very same issues. The only suggest off the top of my head is check all wiring (disconnect and re-socket again). Slim chance that might fix it. Another thing you might try... I know the module is under the hood and might of leak water within might open the end and check the internals. Also this might be the cause of the low MPG's... Module was dying... :shrug:Truely sorry about the above post... :banghead:

Sorry... Didn't mean it that way.. But AFAIK this is a known issues with Juice modules from the beginning and I've not heard of end user fix for it yet.

Here is the diagnostics for the P1689 code... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/59-obdii-error-codes/228-p1689-no-communication-between-ecm-and-vp44 But typically the fuel flow stops or slows to point he the pressure falls below 14 PSI the overflow valve starts closing and the cooling fuel disappears so now the computer on the VP44 (FPCM Fuel Pump Control Module) start losing its cooling fuel and the electronics starting getting hot. Yes. I know there is a P0168 code for over temp but in all these years I've never seen 1 report of it. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/59-obdii-error-codes/155-p0168-decreased-engine-performance-due-to-high-injection-pump-fuel-temperature I consider the P0168 code worthless because you'll never see it.

I stopped by Harbor Freight and bought to 60 count boxes of fuses for like $4 bucks a piece on sale. These stay under the back seat...

Remember I'm in a different class of road and travel... :wink:Flatlander's please don't come to Idaho...
