Auto Computer Specialist will rebuild wiring for you.

Could be fly by wire like Beast. There is no vacuum motor to pull the throttle. Manual trucks in the later series 2nd Gen had fly by wire cruise supplied by the PCM. Swapping you'll lose cruise functions. Most likely you have a bad switch on the steering wheel.

I'd never do a P-pump swap. Horrid idea being 100% of all my member that did this swap ended up buying a newer truck or just parking it. Unreliable, too smokey and a cop magnet, or the fuel milage drops off, worst case was one member sold because he had troubles keeping it running at all. Got rid of the truck. So your willing to ditch dynamic timing for fixed timing? Then willing to lose cruise control? Talk to Auto Computer Specialist and a rebuild is better price than a p-pump swap.

I'm going to bet its a heat issue being the turbo is buried down low on the frame and relies on coolant to cool the turbo and the electronics.

Be aware running parallel ground leads is difficult to diagnose. Being it's possible to have one ground fail and the parallel lead will cover up the failure and hard starts. This is why I do not suggest this. Factory lead position is fine and diagnosing is simple being there is no bridge cable. Just be aware.

I pulled my Bosch out at 140k miles they still ran well but won't idle at specified RPM because they popped 260 bar after 140k miles thanks to Diesel Auto Power showing me injectors do not last beyond 100k miles in normal use. The bottom end spec is 293 bar according to the Dodge FSM book. For every 10 bar drop is a 1-degree advancement. Just because it's running doesn't mean it's still in tune. My Bosch stocks didn't last very long really. My RV275s even used barely lasted one year. Now Vulcan Performance +75 HP injectors barely lasted 90k miles stilled misfiring and popped at 250 bar. Now the custom-built 7x0.010 injectors popped at 320 bar huge difference in lifespan and performance. Injectors will not last very far past 100k miles without being out of specification on pop pressure. Being Bosch could release a set of injectors between 293 and 327 bar and be OK. But the performance on the engine is going to be subpar once you experienced good balanced injectors (within 2%) vs 293 to 327 bar Bosch injectors you'll never go back to a Bosch.

I will not suggest Bosch stock or RV275 injectors. Bosch injectors are NOT pop tested as a set so they are not balanced as a set. This will void the warranty if you opt for pop testing. I typically suggest a +50HP injectors from @dieselautopower which are pop tested as a set.

Typically advancing timing makes the EGT's cooler but the boost will disappear. The more retard the more boost and EGTs. I'm running on my 2002 Dodge Cummins 26 to 27 degrees for timing at 2,000 RPM (66 MPH) under 20% engine load. The boost is typically under 5 PSI in this mode. Now drop out of cruise timing (performance timing will engine load above 20%) I'll see about 19 degrees and an increase in EGTs and boost together being you need expanding/burning gases to spin the turbine on the turbo.

In cylinder EGR event is made possible by a shorter duration cam lobe for exhaust. This could be fixed by changing the cam out for a performance cam and ditch the in cylinder EGR event and then get a tuner to ditch the retarded timing.

Two things 1. Bad APPS idle validation switch. 2. Worn out injectors. Replace if over 100k miles. As injectors wear out you will see engine load drop to zero and then the ECM can't cut fuel any deeper and idle starts to increase as they wear. For every 10 bar lost is roughly 1 degrees advanced in timing. Like my oem injectors idled at 850 RPM and popped to 260 bar which is a long ways below 293 bar which is lower limit.

No problem. Makes it a lot faster to hash out details.

Boost leaks are not a cause for high EGTs. I've pull the boost hose off the wastegate and one bolt from the manifold still reached 43 PSI and EGTs still below 1200°F. Excessive advancement of timing will create high EGTs especially if your final ratio is less than 3.55 calculating oversized tires.

Correct. 3.55 and 245s is 2k RPM at 66 MPH for my setup. Which is 3.69 final ratio.

Made a trip to Fruitland ID to chase paperwork. I have to say I'm doing good. I totally missed the website's birthday which was October 4, 2007 website is 17 years old and still going. My birthday is coming up on the 26th. Yeah I'll be 54 years old. Thank you, Suzaanna for getting my birthday present for me. My idea is since I've got Halloween coming up I had my nails done but the crazy part is I did short stiletto nails with black on all nails but the ring fingers are blood-red metal flake. I'm getting ready to have fun on Halloween. The next step is to get my makeup artistry better. I was in Walmart and a gal just came to a sudden stop to wait patiently for the clerk to stop talking but she absolutely loved my appearance and gave me a high five. Even the clerk gave me a fist bump. It's truly amazing how many people love the makeup and cosplay work I do now. I more and more I continue to build on the look and appearance the more people keep coming to talk to me and request photos with me. On Tiktok even I've been building to 300 plus followers and still growing. I build in my own Emo(tional) Goth or Goth looks now. Like I said Emo is more Goth with color vs. Goth which is strictly black on white. As for Suzanna she has become a fixture in my life now. Yeah, it's been 3 months now and we are growing together. She is pushing to make sure I stay healthy. Continually after me to check my blood pressure being my pain scale is based on my blood pressure. For every 10 above 120 is +1 to my pain scale. I'm getting out working in the yard getting things put away for winter. , Mowed the lawn, drain hoses, trimmed trees, etc. Just that could raise my blood pressure and get my pain scale started. Don't worry about me she is right after me and keeping me out of trouble. Give me a bit I'll post pictures. https://www.tiktok.com/@titaniumgoth/photo/7426514592945212714?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7426802226406147626

Amazing how proper ratio really helps out.

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTFuhQynP/ Another run out to go shopping at Walmart and Winco. Suzanna and ended up skipping Walmart being ive gotta go back to Boise this week for medical with Suzanna. This time I did monochromemakeup and hair and even older folk would smile at me. Still enjoying mymakeup artistry and being out in public. This gal walked up to me and commented on my looks Suzanna got her to pose for a photo to add to tiktok. Sadly if you look on the left side of my belly you can see my ostomy starting to swell. Getting time to drain the bag.

I'm still here. I'm still waking up every morning ready to battle each day. Even though my body is not quite ready for the world of work but I'm trying to figure out how to work with my new body. I'm thankful I've got a few good friends that advocate for me and helped out. I need to call out Mark Hall thank you for being a close friend and helping out get my firewood for the winter. Then Dan Catherman for bringing his Datsun pickup with his fishing pole setup that loaded all the logs on my trailer. Then Einer for helping up in going out and doing the heavy work getting the firewood loaded. I'm even making attempts to see how much I can do. I had the driver's wheel joint fail last spring. I managed to change it out but took two days getting it done and still not quite right. The wheel joint is fine but my slide pins on the calipers need replacing and the kits were missing the rubber boots. Now to add a bit of good news. I had to endure hell to get to heaven. What do I mean by this. My hell was handling my mother's dialysis, my mother's death @MoparMom, 3 bad relationships. Then hit with bladder cancer both times on 2018 and 2023 Christmas. Then deal with 4 months of chemo. Then a 7-hour surgery to modify my body to no longer have a prostate or bladder which are gone! Now on my trip to Portico West medical building, I ran into Suzanna Lopez and had a few words and got called into my appointment. Now during my appointment, I rescheduled for 2 weeks not the 4 weeks that the doctor wanted. This lined me up to see Suzanna a second time and she came off the elevator and said "I remember you from the last time!" yes this was true. I was decked out in my Black and blue hair and makeup. She got in and sat down and the first thing she asked was for my phone number. Crazy fact Suzanna is the first woman to walk up to me in 53 years to ask me for my phone number. I asked why she was impressed with my makeup and appearance as well as some of my story about my cancer and taking care of my mother. Suzanna has more or less just stayed with me. She is attempting even right now to sort through all the Social Security documents and getting information dealt with. She has been there for all my medical appointments too. We have already been together already 2 months and have a difficult time when we are separated for a length of time. Suzanna issues are that she was injured in an accident that broke her left ankle and then had issues for most of her life. Now she had her ankle fused and now we are healing together attempting to support each other to work out and get back into shape. So there you go gang a tidbit of good news. I'm trying to get over the Social Security hurdles and she is being a huge help.

Yes sir no CAD axle here... With all my tuning like dropping from 265's (31.7") to 245's (30.5") tires, then adding the Quadzilla Adrenaline Tuner and understanding how to properly build tunes that are highly efficient. Then watch my temperatures of everything because anything creating a large amount of heat is loss of power and efficiency. This is why I never bother with free spin hubs because no one to this day has beaten me in efficiency numbers like MPG. My current high mark is 30 MPG and crossing the entire state of Washington on just a 1/4 of a tank of fuel from Seattle WA to Idaho border outside Lewiston ID. Just keep in mind every 1 pound of rotational mass you remove is like removing 8 pounds off the frame. Like on my tires just dropping from 265's to 245's was about 20 pounds per tire off which 800 pounds off the frame. This is why racing slicks are barely 20 to 30 pounds per tire also remember smooth tread face is more efficient than offroad mud tires. Then with a 5 speed NV4500 transmission with a dual disc clutch I've got no slip in the transmission which 47RE are more prone to slip. Proper use of gearing and throttle goes way better than "Babying The Truck". Optimal RPM is 1,800 to 2,700 RPM. Anything below this is considered lugging the engine. Optimal Boost pressure is ZERO! Yes, this is correct if you are properly tuned then you should be able to cruise at highway speeds (55 to 65 MPH) without any boost pressure. Optimal coolant temperature and Engine Oil Temperature is hotter than most think. I'm now running 200℉ thermostat from a 6.7L Cummins with engine oil temperatures following at 170℉. So the whole free spin axle set up is going to net you a very, very small gain that is barely noticed. Where they mods I've done makes the truck efficient.

Better add that extra VP44 so you can actually leave Idaho.

Or just have the solid axle like Beast and not worry.

Wow back up camera on a 1950's truck this is going to be feature rich truck.

I'm going to give this a shot on Beast. Thanks for the tip.

Vacuum? Now that I owned... 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L V8 46RE 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9L Cummins 5 Speed 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 5.9L Cummins 6 Speed I can say loses to spinning hardware are minimal. Being 2002 Dodge is a solid axle and spins constantly and still can reach 30 MPG. My 1996 Dodge had a CAD axle and barely got 14 MPG and nothing spins. As for the 2006 Dodge it can reach 15 to 16 MPG but it 2,500 pounds over weight with a flat bed and huge winch bumper which I'm removing and putting a factory bumpers and bed back on and going to get a CR truck to 30 MPG again with a solid axle.

Problem what are you going to to about the PCM software? Remember that the Smarty will reprogram the ECM but does zero for the PCM on removing transmission controls going from Auto to Manual.

Sadly you have to send the ECM in for repairs and maybe about 5 to 7 days on average to get it repaired. I had a job where I had the client send both PCM and ECM to be refreshed for manual and everything worked out right.
