It could be air leak in the suction side of the pump. He mentions that the fuel pressure gets unstable then it stalls. I've seen a truck with a bad pick up tube in the tank and would do something similar and start bouncing fuel pressure and then die. The fuel gauge still shows 3/8 of a tank and the tank had fuel but the stock pick up tube was cracked and get low enough it would suck air and quit. I would look towards filling the tank and trying again. Also after filling the tank and it stands for a period of time look at all the external plumbing on the frame rail and up for moisture or possible outward leaks. Suction side plumbing typically will not leak outwards but constantly sucking air inwards even parked. This makes it difficult but not impossible to find. On a partial tank use a shop vacuum and reverse it to the blow. Using the hose you can pressurize the fuel tank. This will help in finding any external leaks possibly. Fuel pressure should not bounce or change a bunch while driving.

Haven't seen it yet... most likely will some time.

Hence why CAD axle design has been obsoleted and no longer used. All future trucks are all solid axle design now.

No there is no loss to perma-locked axle. When my high mark on the diesel is 27.2 MPG. Typically doing 19 to 20 MPG.

More... So yeah I went back to work on trucks. Still MoparMom is going downhill. This is going to expand more medical appointments. Now this is where Eileen is filling the void she is running MoparMom to her appointments today. I was working on transmission cooler lines and looking for oil smell on another 4the gen...

I've got a CAD axle in my 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 and absolutely hate the dang thing. Sometimes it will lock quickly and then fight to get it unlocked for +10 miles. I've replaced the vacuum motor, fork shoes, double check vacuum lines. Still a pain in the tail to get locked and unlocked. I agree with Evan either consider manual cable control or change axle. Another rare one is be climbing a grade but the manifold vacuum is low and have it unlock the axles when you least expect it and really need the 4WD. 2002 Dodge with a solid axles never a single problem. Clutch in shift to 4WD. Click. Clutch in and shift to 2WD no problem. Never hangs up or have any issues with locking into 4WD or 2WD. Works every time.

Back to the shop and still behind... 3rd gen truck with trans cooler line leak. What a pain in the tail. The fuel filter has to come out then the starter. Oh my gawd Mopar really screwed the pooch on this lay out. I've got the long line stuck and can't get it out of the truck yet. Stopped and came home for lunch after being rained on with melting snow and ATF+4.

Overflow valve... Overflow valve removed. Testing of the overflow valve is inside the article above.

If the injectors are stock and over 100k miles they are wasted. These engines are rather retarded in timing why most of us use a tuner like Quadzilla to crank the timing up where needed. There is a lot of upgrades to making good power.

He'll need to key off for 10 seconds. Then do the starter bump. Then it will run the 20 seconds. The stall will be counted and key bump will not function. The ECM has to be down for 10 seconds and do a fresh reboot for starter bump to work. Watch the fuel pressure.

When you figure out the upgrade to D2S lens and the D2S shroud then the rush shipping you can see the increased price I paid. Still in all the Morimoto lighting is awesome.

Mine failed on the FM side. Tuner no longer works.

Remember grid heaters will cycle still pull voltage down. Grid heaters draw 95 maps per element.

What is you fuel pressure?

Yup. Got my transmission back in and haven't been home in nearly 5 days. Seems like I get up drive to doctors appt and to dialysis. Got home last night went to sleep got up and now eating breakfast in Weiser ID. I only worked 1 day. Close to 1,200 miles this week. So my shop is a trainwreck tools on the floor, dirty rags, bench is full of junk, yup it's a mess.

Better stay away from here too. Too many tools stuck in the walls. Then too many tools left out from previous jobs.

Mine are still zipzied to the fender as of yet... PIAA 530 LED driving lights (not fog pattern). Super bright. They are brighter than the Morimoto's. Look up from the bottom there is a star wheel you can slide a #2 philips screw driver into from the bumper gap. Only up and down of the beam. No left to right adjustment.

Sure.

Neither of those sensor control idle speed. Only IVS idle validation switch controls idle. When the APPS grounds the idle pin the ECM will control idle speed directly. The only sensor that controls idle speed is coolant.

We will see..

Ummm. That's too high period. ECM possibly has fueling table issues. I was think lower like 850 to 875. 1100 RPM is like the 6 cylinder high idle but typically brake pedal or touching throttle cancels. It should not be 1100 rpm at any point after touching the throttle. I've got an guy in Texas I've been working with he's got 3 trucks with the same issue. I'll post anything I learn on this too.

Most napa stores have them in stock.

Problem is when the seal gives up will you be able to get a new seal for the sump. There has been a few that did sumps then had leaks then could not get new seals. Then the hunt is on for a replacement fuel tank. Which one member told me was a tough deal and expensive.

How old are the injectors? If the injectors are over 100k miles for sure they are shot. As injectors wear the pop pressure falls. The engine load will reach 0 and the ECM will not be able to defuel enough to get the idle down to 800 RPM. If the injectors are questionable I would have them sent for testing.

Still doubt that being the sensor is INSIDE the oil. The sensor the probe tip is nearly 3/4 long inside the oil. The oil is MOVING past the sensor and oil filter into the turbo. Now I could see you point like in transmission application where people put the sensor in the accumulator piston and the fluid is not flowing. This is in a flowing oil galley and the main oil feed to the turbo. So I still doubt your comments being the fluid is moving into and out of the oil filter.
