REMEMBER do NOT remove all the paint from a ground location. With both of us here in Idaho salt off the highway will make the matel rust and fail for the ground. Make all bare metal is painted before reattach the ground. Really sucks that you find the wire just hanging from rusted chunk of metal.

Valve guides and valve seals can leak oil some but typical not much because normal both exhaust and intake are under pressure. Like Beast long run downhill like my last trip to Heaven's Gate then I see the blue oil smoke as I throttle up from the bottom of the grade. Typically that how valve guides oil leak is seen. No blow by issues but leak oil past at zero pressure moments like running downhills.

Assuming this repaired the problem? Could you mark your post with "Mark as Solution" this way other members can see your solution to the problem.

@Tweety Bird and myself were not feeling well last night, so we slept long and hard. I got up this morning and she was requesting I head to town and get hamburger buns, and we would have something simple to eat for today. As usual, my local people know me and always love the makeup and the effect it brings to people. A couple of the female store employees have colored their hair green and purple. I always give people compliments about their appearance, and I always get right back as well. As for my appearance is with the purple hair again and similar makeup as my previous blog post. Left the grocery store and headed for the fuel station with Thor. Yeah, I've still got an injector issue, but I needed to bring home fuel in that truck as a fallback. I crossed paths with an older lady, and she looked like the outdoors type. She commented on my hair and appearance. As always, I thank the person for the comment. I put my fuel into Thor and saw her return and start to chat with her as my fuel was just completed. Find out we are both ostomy patients and she was highly impressed with my positive attitude for a person who survived bladder cancer twice, getting married this summer to @Tweety Bird and doing makeup artistry that most people think is impressive. I darted back to Thor and grabbed a business card for contact info, and often to share my knowledge of my ostomy journey to hopefully aid her. My own journey with losing the shop, digging to find anything that might have survived the mudslide. Trying to keep things around here in good repair without tools is rather tough. Slowly, we are trying to order the needed tools and stuff right now to keep even the internet and communications going. Yeah, I found a damaged CAT5 cable and am attempting to keep the WiFi going in the house. I got interrupted by Mark's dog barking, and it was the mail lady who 4WD around the outside of the debris pile to deliver our mail today. I told her Thank you for getting the mail to the door for us. She was even asking how we are doing and gave her a more detailed rundown on what's up and going on.

Just remember just one wire pinched in behind part, bolt, or bracket could do it. I had one where the PCM burned up because one wire was rubbing on the trans dipstick tube and fried the voltage regulator.

I'm back at it again. I'm looking to make this website a hotrod as well. Still having issues with the Total Blocking Time of JavaScripts. I'm playing with the Google Pagespeed Module now on the server to help clean up the wasted bandwidth on unneeded things. It's all about being able to trim off the unused code and compress the required code, and get it sent to your desktop, tablet, or phone quickly. Part of this might take some time as the pagespeed module learns and creates methods of saving bandwidth and time for all of you surfing here. I will say for the most part, the CLS (content Layout Shift) is corrected, and it was the Google AdSense attempting to lay down ads and skew the page by pushing the content down, and there is a score system to this. Currently, through my testing, I'm well below the threshold of a problem, but my biggest move, which is tiny 0.02, is looking for the staff banner. Not bad, I'd say. If anyone is having issues, please make sure you contact me in a private message here. I'll make sure to look into any strange behavior.

I wonder ifthe dipstick was traded from another truck by accident and the level is now incorrect. The only other thing I can think off is a ton of sludge in the engine but most likely not true here. At least I hope so.

Were there any steps required for testing or repair on your side before the installation of the ECM for the first time? It sounds like there was more internally wrong with the ECM, but I still wonder if there was something in the wiring of the truck that could have created this issue?

What? Paint? What color(s)?

The only thing I can suggest is contacting https://idahodrivetrain.com/ . You should be able to get information from them,

Oh, today was an awesome day. I had two younger gals walk up to me and read my shirt, and then they wanted to pose with me in the Albertson's store. Then several others made comments on my appearance. I really do have an enjoyable day just being all dressed up and in makeup. My shirt says, " If you don't like me, remember its mind over matter. I don't mind and you don't matter"

Technically, the coolant sensor will control idle, but only in an OVERHEAT condition, it will drop existing RPM by about 400 RPMs. This is not the solution, but a normal reaction. I found this way back in the day by using a rheostat to vary coolant temperature. Just to let you know, this is a normal reaction to the sensor unplugged because it's a high volt code (+5V) and the ECM reacts accordingly. Still, you have an APPS issue, most likely on the APPS sensor is not providing a proper idle validation signal. This will force the ECM to drop the APPS sensor signal and run the Cummins idle software, which is a perfect 800 RPM's. Now the only other way to raise idle is bad injectors. If your injectors have over 100k miles you need to replace the injectors being as pop pressure falls and idle speed rises. I've seen trucks idling at ZERO percent engine load and idle speed of 900 RPM, being the ECM cannot cut fuel any deeper, and idle cannot be obtained.

Yes, I'm off to McCall, ID, to meet with my insurance agent and review the actual insurance policy, word for word. Just to give me a boost today, I went a bit more like Clown Goth. I've a few other stops today, including picking up medications and doing some other shopping. I've got several fans in McCall who enjoy my makeup work and love the reactions of people. Oh, check out the gallery photos. I've got a new shirt. Gotta keep building my character up. I'm hunting for a second shirt, but still searching for something particular.

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.
