Try looking this over... He's got a solution now.

PDC relay is the VP44. You need the relay for you lift pump. Typically elsewhere.

I did a clamp on series on my 46RE in the 1996 Dodge 1500. The sensor clamps on the line and the probe end is pressed against the line. Then you wrap insulation foam around the sensor and zip tie.

Main ground points... Interior and headlights are in the driver side kick panel. Some exterior stuff is grounded at the driver side headlight there is a ground stud. Main ground for ECM, PCM and VP44 are on the passenger side battery terminal. Double check all fuses. Like @pepsi71ocean had his brother do some wire work and misunderstood the directions and cut the power to the PCM. Then wired up the voltage regulator for the transmission. This created a weird case where if you turned on the blower the odometer would display CCD Bus and the PCM would die and voltage regulator too. limp mode the transmission if I remember right. Use the wiring diagrams and make sure ground and power are present at the PCM and the Central Timer.

No. The only thing right now on the market that does is the Quadzilla. You don't see actual timing but commanded timing. If your VP44 is damaged and throwing the P0216 code it still shows the commanded timing but actual could be way off. OBDLink LX or MX series only shows OBDII PIDs. Nothing more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBD-II_PIDs There is a way to show all the available data on the Cummins but sad to say the Hex 1C bit that shows what kind of system this reports back 05 which is "Non-OBDII Compliant" So the rules don't hold true for our trucks. Between the Quadzilla and OBDLink tool you can get all the data you need.

His is the early series which has both the cam and crank sensor. You in the late series like myself where the cam sensor was dropped and the crank sensor was moved to the cam sensor location. Sounds confusing. 98.5 to 99 had a single tooth tone wheel on the cam. Then the actual tone wheel like you see on the crank for tach signal. 00 to 02 had ditch the single tooth cam gear and then replace the gear with a multi-tooth and the sensor location was moved inward on the cam gear. The crank tone wheel was ditch completely. Now the ECM wiring for the crank sensor is the same pin on the ECM as the late series cam sensor. All years used the pin 17 on the ECM for tach signal. Pin 9 was the early Cam sensor which was dropped and no longer used.

Nothing to core out. The circuit board is mylar and it glued directly to the aluminum cover. If it burnt or damaged there is nothing to core out.

ECM will not boot below 8 Volts.

174k on stock injectors I'm sure they are shot. Popping below 293 bar.

Lot of instructions call for the test port but it's a invalid reading. Stale fluid that is not flowing. Most transmission builders call for putting a bung in the pan. Most guys on forum like the hot line heading to the cooler.

Best I can say is have your ECM tested. Grab the rebuild list and pick one.

Ummm... Sensor suppose to be either in the hot line going to the cooler. Or... Suppose to be in the pan. Test ports are invalid. Not flowing fluid.

@Auto Computer Specialist is one of the vendors here. You might want to look them up.

Link, please.... I wanna see.

Weather is OK down here. Funny I made my 8.2 mile ride and just started to snow on me within about 1/4 mile from my truck.

Ontario, OR. Clean and clear. Snow line is about 2,500 feet and Ontario is just below that. Damn stupid people. Everyday dealing with a dumb driving along at 20 MPH in panic mode. Please people put you Toyota Prius away and get your 4WD your pickups out.

Heck if your close enough come to my shop, ill break out the beer, and get it done. But you already this far along.

Gets better for me... Time to turn down the Quadzilla to Level 3 and keep the tires under the truck. From what I can see the snow goes from Pollock, ID to Weiser, ID and the roads are snow covered. It's going to be a long day for me.

Edge Products and Quadzilla ZERO impact. All it does insert commands on the CANBus with high priority and has no impact on the ECM. ECM has no clue the tuner is even there. Now Smarty or any flash tuner puts stress on the EPROM which has a finite number of times it can be flashed. Then if the flash goes wrong you can make a mess out of the ECM that requires reflashing or replacement. Smarty and SuperChips wipe out all the ECM software and reflash with completely different software. Addon... Like my combo of the Quadzilla Adrenaline and the 7 x 0.010 injectors, this reduces the stress on the VP44. Being my idle engine load is about 13% and then my cruising 60 MPH engine load is only 17%. I'm not down to running Level 3 (No wiretap) which is the cleanest overall runs with the same power as stock injectors and Edge Comp with about 35 PSI of max boost.

That also happened with ITD (Idaho turbo Diesels) they also had a Bomb party too and had guys attempting to steal tools, free work, and at dyno events attempting to get free dyno runs.

Quadzilla Adrenaline, Edge Products, no. They do not leave a footprint. Smarty is a possible footprint but they claim it undetectable.

@Alterego could I get you to write an article about the tone ring install? I'll make it worth your while.

I think some good gains can be had with ecomony and smoke control with added pop pressure. I will admit the flow rate is reduced I'm pretty sure of that.

I've a got a membership over there but wasn't fond of the members...
