Traded for a bit of a basket case
Above 0.2 volts is a fail for voltage drop test.

Steering Linkage Y, T, ?
Still running factory Y Style. My OEM linkage lasted 350k miles. To this day mine is still tight using all NAPA replacement in the front. The whole problem typically falls on the oversize tires why the Dodge Ram steering gets sloppy. Never had that issue, never ran oversized tires. Matter of fact I'm running undersized tires.

P1693 no other code
2001 somewhere in the mid year some started working. This is not a guarantee that it works with all 2001. Just depends on if you got the flash to do it. Again its a random game on 2001.

P1693 no other code
This only works on 2002 trucks. 2000 and 2001 may or may not work. Most only report the PCM. 1998.5 and 1999 truck don't work at all.

IQuad will not connect to SAMSUNG Bluetooth
That one is a good one for @Me78569

IQuad will not connect to SAMSUNG Bluetooth
I'm sure @Me78569 would know. I remember something being said about Samsung device having problems.

Coolant is a strange animal can't base it strictly on mileage or time. It has to be both. Some people barely drive 3k a year. That would mean changing coolant every 33 years. Personally try not to run right up to the full limit of any coolant typical is risky. I rather be slightly early on flush and fill than late on coolant.

Oil pressure sensor debacle
Cheap stone. Redneck class here.

Oil pressure sensor debacle
I'll have to measure the ohms on the sensor.

Just go over to the classified ads and sell the darn thing...

Throttle acting up
Need to know the error codes. Also got to ask does the WAIT TO START light come on instantly with the key? Then have you done an AC noise test on the alternator? Is there any modified wiring on the APPS or added ground wires?
-
Oil pressure sensor debacle
I don't think it a switch. I think it a true one wire pressure sensor like the older Mopar's had back in the day.

Oil pressure sensor debacle
The one I listed was Standard Products. Which is typically a good sensor.

Oil pressure sensor debacle
I never buy Cummins... Just reboxed and higher priced. Matter of fact I just ordered a Gates 200*F thermostat off a RockAuto for whole $13 bucks. To continue my efficiency testing. Over $30 cheaper than the NAPA.

Oil pressure sensor debacle
https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=1320280&cc=1440064&jsn=456 Whole $12.65 for the pressure sensor. I'm sure that Cummins sensor was way higher in price.

Oil pressure sensor debacle
2002 is a single wire, two pin plug but only one pin in the sensor. What you bought is 98.5 to 2001 sensor.

Ford CP4's grenadeing themselves...
Maybe the customer should buy quality fuels. In 350k miles I've only seen the WIF light once. After that I've never drain more than maybe 1 ounce of water from the AirDog. Factory filter never sees water. I change filters every 60k and drain the separators then still always less than 1 ounce. The one time I tripped the WIF light I was being cheap and bought fuel at a mom and pop station. Never again.

This is where your scale build is caused from. Extending the coolant way beyond the service life. Not so much about specs but understanding the service life of the chemicals in the coolant and have it changed out BEFORE the chemicals and stabilizers are totally consumed. It's that simple. Again now you running without any protection of a coolant and there is nothing to protect against water pH (corrosive nature of city water) or protecting from oxidation from the water. Again its about have the protection of the chemicals in the coolant to protect the engine.

Looking for mid size injector race tune
I've got to ask what is axle gear ratio?

Quadzilla on a stock truck
Level zero uses factory timing but your 0 PSI fuel limit.

Quadzilla on a stock truck
This is what I'm learning. 7 x 0.0085 injectors are good with the Quadzilla but you can't push any more volume than what the injector will flow at its maximum duration time. 7 x 0.010 would be a good starting place and you can tune down that injector for a daily tune just as easily. In nutshell, you no longer have to keep the Quadzilla reaching to the absolute maximum ends of everything to get the most from it. You can be slightly overpowered injector wise but cut it back using the Quadzilla for your driving conditions and driving style.

Intermittent strange high idle.
These truck are not designed to be driven short trip where the engine never builds full temperature. Really common out here where people live in a little town like Riggins, ID and never less than a full mile back and forth to work. A typical diesel engine will get washed out quickly because they never reach full temperature for very long if at all. Bad for even a gasoline engine to live that way. This is most of the reason why I've got good longevity from my truck. Riggins, ID is a 30-mile round trip. McCall is a 70-mile round trip. Either way I got I'm getting the full operating temperature and putting distance down. Ontario, OR trip for MoparMom is 250-mile round trip every Tues., Thurs., and Sat.

WTS LAMP
Sounds like the ECM is damaged on the grid heater circuit. It should of INSTANTLY power up both the grid heater relay on the key ON ran for about 15 seconds. Then clicked off. It should have had +12V power at the smaller wires. Try something disconnect the little wires on the grid heater relays and then turn the key on and see if it sets a P0380 code and P0382 code this will tell if the ECM can even see the relays. Another passing thought. The Battery temperature sensor and the IAT sensor both control grid heaters. If the battery temperature sensor is damaged or reporting high temp then the grid heaters might be disabled.

I can say without a doubt that was an abuse case. Even with all my document and record keeping even with standard anti-freeze and creek water or well water my engine is nowhere near that. Am I using spec'ed coolant. (Current is NAPA coolant) Nope. Distilled water nope. Nowhere even close to that kind of problem. The difference is I don't continue to run coolant forever which tend to create this issue. Block is still absolutely clean inside, I asked when my head was in the shop they didn't need to clean the coolant jacket at all. Spotless inside. Scale buildup is typically caused when the coolant is left in too long. The pH level of the coolant goes corrosive and the coolant starts eating everything it's touching. Like my 1996 Dodge had factory coolant in the truck when I bought it. It was already too old and was eating the metal thermostat housing. Yes this was spec'ed coolant from the manufacturer (Dodge). Just like the pictures above that is corrosion damage from lack of pH control. Very old too. I've kept my documentation rolling from start till now. Still clean!
