PCM controls the Overdrive light. ECM controls Wait To Start light. This is the only light that the ECM is in direct control of that is wired directly to the light. P0381 code would be present if there is no circuit or light issue for the Wait To Start. Only way to test either ECM and PCM is to send the modules to @Auto Computer Specialist and let them bench test the modules for you. Look at pin 37 is Wait To Start. Look at C2 pin 14 which is the Overdrive switch Cluster wiring... You can see the O/D switch. Orange/black pin 8 is your wait to stat from the ECM.

My Personal Opinion
I wanted to share my next idea for my makeup work. I've already used this one for my chemo treatment and my chemo staff loved the look. I'm trying to keep people on their toes being so far I'm enjoying blowing people's minds. Like last night I went to BBQ with a few friends in Riggins ID and was dressed up in my Blcak and Blue hair but I'm playing with other makeup concepts and so far people don't even know it's me any longer. Few people now had to ask Jake who I was and then when my cover was blown it was funny because they couldn't believe it was me the Mopar1973Man decked out in Emo Goth looks. Newest concept... Being I'm still dealing with my cancer. It's nice to be dressed up and enjoy my time being out and about sharing my makeup and Emo Goth looks and just forget about the fact I'm constantly hurting with these ports in my back and dealing with cancer. The fun of putting a smile on other's faces and then also putting a smile on me even for a short time. You all have to remember I'm limited on what I can do here to be productive right now and can't work on Cummins diesels. This has been a huge way for me to enjoy the time that I'm hanging out till my big surgery where I'll lose my bladder and prostate. Did you know my sexual organ (one eye) will no longer function? Yup just consider the fact I'll never enjoy sex again and I'll never piss like a man again. So again people might think I'm off the wall... I don't care. Why? What if this was my last chance to enjoy life and only could live to June? What would you be willing to do to enjoy life? Yeah I know I'm not going to die anytime soon but it makes you think. Consider my position that sexual I'll no longer function any longer. Just consider that every day I get up alone and really can't do anything. So you start looking to interact with others just to have some enjoyment. Hence why I'm enjoying some makeup artistry and just getting my feet wet and have to learn a lot very quickly.

My Personal Opinion
I loved the fact when I was leaving and I stopped out front to make sure everything was is check before I leave. I had all the receptionists laughing as I left the building. My case worker loves the energy I bring to the build while I'm there. Amount of people wanting to just ask What's your story. Oh I did find the photos.

My Personal Opinion
Good morning gang... Chemo run number two over. Being I had a chat with my pharmacist and knew what is was dealing with I've be taking care of my meds on a tight schedule. This morning I got up and feeling super good. No nausea and my energy is good. I do have some medical things to sort out with my doctor.i hoping for my phone call this morning so I can get things checked out. I feel good enough to actually sit down and do code work on the server. First let me get my doctor visit handled and if im still on track I'm going to get busy working tomorrow. I've got a story on my chemo visit. My IV nurse requested for my light blue wig and metallic blue eye shadow makeup. Sadly I got there and Rusti wasn't in being her kiddo was sick. Strange enough the hospital Chaplin walked in and seen me and sat down and asked What's my story? Well it went all over from past, present and future talks. He was giving me props on my look and liked the light blue hair. He hung out till my chemo was done. Shocked him to tell him I'm a internationally known Cummins mechanic and showing off the website. Like I told him even spiritually I'm in order and explained how thankful I am for all the medical staff has stepped up for my needs and getting excellent care.

Biggest thing is to see if you got the bias voltage of 2.49 and 2.51 on the bus. Then hunt down why the bus might have a voltage offset be it 0V, 5V or 12V either a short to power or short to ground. Could be a open circuit. I'd suggest getting in contact with our Vendor @Auto Computer Specialist and ask some question to give more clues.

Pilothouse/RAM3500 build
Yeah I get it. I'm on the other side dealing with my limitations too (money & health wise). I know this has been a super long running project. Hopefully I'll be able to build my project ride after my cancer treatment. Still planning on building a C Body Mopar on a 2nd gen frame that will have also a 6BT Cummins. Just gotta take care of me first then I'll most likely start next year.

Speed signal comes from the ABS computer then sent typically to the cluster on the CCD bus.

Everyone runs from electronics. That is why I can reach 30 MPG. Which is better than any 12V mechanical can do. Even 24V p-pump conversion I can beat that too. Electronics it what makes it possibly for some of the abilities of these engines. There is a reason carburetor vehicles have disappeared being they could keep up with efficiency. Then just understand even today most all gasoline engines are only 20% to 25% efficiency then look all have catalytic converter because there is that much sunburnt fuel in the exhaust. Diesels without smoke can do well in the 30% to 40% efficiency. The fuel has more BTUs per gallon. No air/fuel ratio. Direct injected and compression ignition.

Just keep in mind the most this does is a fresh reset. Disconnecting the batteries will not clear error codes. Do make sure you have done your repairs first. I know both ECM and PCM will reboot fully if the ignition is off more than 10 seconds. I also know even the ECM, PCM and cluster are hooked to battery power so it might have some merit but again make sure you get the bus working again.

Double check all your fuses with a ohm meter make sure you getting your power up again. There are a fuse under the hood in the PDC and then the fuse in the end of the dash. You can look at the CCD Bus article in the 24V section it will help you to understand bus voltage and understand how it works. As far as I know the cluster sets the bus voltage so you might have to send the cluster in for repairs. There is Module Masters right here in Moscow ID which can repair your cluster if it's found damaged.

DIY/AM Fuel Filter Housing
I'm curious what the connections to the filter are for plumbing? Hopefully something we can adapt AirDog / FASS

If you got the skill go for it. That looks like it could be retro fitted to a 24V.

My Personal Opinion
I know I've been quiet. Chemo is pretty harsh I'm struggling with nausea and weakness. I'll make it but I'll admit it is rough. My Chemo crew are all great people. I've got a whole crew like dietitian, pharmacist, IV nurse, social worker, etc. All there for me and really helpful people making my treatments the best I can. I'll admit I was compliments about my looks, and the energy I bought to the room. My IV nurse was surprised on how much people wanted to talk to me. My pharmacist was surprised to listen in on my Cummins phone calls helping another member. Social worker was shocked on my appearance because it changed and she loved it. I'm taken care of very well by my crew. Yeah I'll say Chemo is rough being nauseated and weak aren't fun but I'll do it and get it done.

New Battery Cables
Like my solar battery setup the cables are all soldered and crimped.
-
New Battery Cables
Circuit breaker or fuse 150A. I prefer the breaker being it can be reset in the field but if there is a blown fuse better have spares and these can be spendy. New cables will be nice. Just wondering is the ends soldered or just crimped?

New Battery Cables
Got to do the charge lead too.

New Battery Cables
Absolutely... A must for keeping these trucks going properly.

New Battery Cables
Simple fix go out on Amazon and order military style terminals and a set of copper lugs. I prefer soldering my lugs being it seals the copper from corrosion. Then you just need to change terminals when damaged again. Cables rarely go bad unless the corrosion is deep into the strands which is why I like soldering my lugs. Stops that from happening. Dumb question? What are the only 2 materials that can contain sulphuric acid? One is glass and the other is plastic. What is plastic made from? OIL. Cover you battery terminals with engine oil they will never rot again. Now seeing the ground lead where you scrubbed all the paint back your going to start rusting I highly suggest to repaint those spots being it will rust and create weak ground connection. I would paint the metal and let it dry then shot the bolt and terminal back on.

My Personal Opinion
Yeah too many issues with neo bladder. Need more small intestine. Possibly need to Catherize to urinate, incontinence is the other side.

My Personal Opinion
Oh, my story goes on from here. I've had a stay over at Ontario OR for my first chemo treatment. I was in full makeup and hair for both days down there. I was in my midnight blue hair and full-color makeup with blue eyeshadow and black as well. The doctor explained to me I would have an external bag that ultimately I would be peeing into for the rest of my life. I discussed the Neo-bladder idea and he's explaining the issues with neo-bladders. In any case, they will take a small piece of my small intestine and plumb my kidneys to my right side of my belly. Still on course for this surgery. So as for my chemo, they figure I'll be going till JUNE. Yup, the schedule is set, two Tuesdays and skip a Tuesday, then repeat. As for the nausea meds well Rusti my IV nurse pumped in a good amount of meds that held me over till midnight last night. I'm hoping for a call back soon and get this figured out and get my nausea meds taken slightly early to allow me to sleep. OK now as for my make-up and attitude. Everyone could tell I'm extremely positive and looking forward. My pharmacist was surprised I was handling two tech calls on diesel trucks and did it very professionally. Rusti my IV tech put me up to the test she wants me to do my light blue hair which none of you have ever seen yet. Now to figure out the makeup and I've got 1 week till I return. My social worker loves the different looks I stopped in to drop off papers that morning and she again asked about my makeup and the products I'm using. All the staff can spot me quickly and they remember easily on phone like the one I placed this morning. I was wanting to pass info back about times of meds run length and such. Do you remember me black and purple hair? "Oh yeah, you were here yesterday." Yup, that was me. Now for those that want to follow this story in TikTok I've started another adventure where on my travels back and forth to my chemo I'm in fully make-up and hair and attempting to get people to ask or comment on my looks then ask if they mine grabbing a photo with me? So far no problems everyone wants to be involved and so here we go... My profile page... https://www.tiktok.com/@titaniumgoth?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc So consider the thought of my life where I'm here at home alone. It drives me crazy being there is no one here to talk to or anything. I can do my activity or I start to bleed. It was tough on me to do the driving to the doctor's office and then to chemo yeah I was bleeding from that. The thing is the energy I bring to the room is amazing. All my crew around me love it. Dietitian, she is very impressed. My social worker loves the fact I change looks every time to something different to keep her guessing. The people I see during my travels like the video above were the hotel I stayed at to the two gals working the desks loved the look. The other photo is of a gal I crossed paths with in a Spencer Clothing store I picked up a few tee shirts but she liked the look and wanted in the TT. More to come...
