Find a harbor freight for cheap tools and pull off the tail casing figure out what's going on. 2wd or 4wd? Not much difference in the amount of work tho.

I haven't stacked tuners. That i know better than to do. Truck just feels like it's got way more power with the smarty over the edge. Maybe I'll have to plug the edge back in. I got both of these tuners with my 2 2nd gens I own. I'll check out the quadzilla. Just have a hard time justifying the cost with the condition of these trucks. Although I may start cutting apart and welding in new body panels this spring.

So i kinda got it. I tried a battery charger like I saw on another forum. Nothing. So I unhooked the batteries for a while , tried again and it loaded stock SW but at the end said error 14. Tried loading catcher and went back to like it was last night. I unhooked the batteries again for a bit. Got it programmed back to stock but got the error 14 again. Truck starts and runs tho at the moment. Nervous to try loading a catcher again. I like the smarty tune much more then the edge comp box that was run on it before, no longer hooked up.

I have. I get through turning the key off and back on. It says it was interrupted and asks to install stock software. When it goes to so that I get and error comm time out

That's what I'm kinda trying to avoid. Got friends with software on laptop and connections to reprogram auto computers. But if it needs fixing prior to that I'm not sure if I'm able to source the parts. Soldering on a pcb isn't difficult for me these days. I struggle to pay others to fix things I can teach myself to fix. But I may end up having to break down and do this.

So I was changing the tune in my 2000 when the smarty cable got disconnected. Now I keep getting "error comm time out" when it tries to restore it to stock tune. Is the ECM toasted?

That's what I had thought. After reading previous comments and researching I'm almost positive it is gonna be the TIPM needs to be rebuilt. Does Anyone know, is it solder connections that break that causes the problems a TIPM gives out?

So in other words, this is going to be a really mf'er to figure out. Never mind. Looks like I'll be buying a rebuild TIPM

Here is the short video of what it does. Seems to me it'd be like the stock security system, but i don't believe this truck has a chipped key. https://youtube.com/shorts/XbxbDSBhWXI?si=NB0pe7QH5kghXzvV

I'll load it to YouTube later today. It only does it for a few minutes then stops until the door is opened, the cycle starts over then.

Well, i took a video to upload and show what it does. But it won't allow me to upload it no matter what I try.

It definitely takes longer. The truck it came out off of was a pulling machine tho. It wasn't quick by any means, pulled like a freight train tho

That's the exact reason why I'm still running the stock turbo. It's nice and snappy. Donor truck was set up for towing large loads and doing pulls. It also had propane injection before. The smaller turbo is an s300 variant. Haven't done much research to find sizes. I've actually been contemplating adding a belt driven supercharger too, just for the instant boost. I saw a video where a guy had taken one from a gm 3800. It actually seemed like it quirked pretty good. Plus it provided boost at all times, even just a little at idle.

I have a pyrometer and a boost gauge. It's a 24 year old **** box. I'm not always the nicest to it. But the previous owner was definitely harder on it. Stock manifold was pretty damn rusted too. The 3 piece came off truck with compound set up and never had any problem. The compounds are going to go on this truck I think, after it's warm again. Bigger one is a 109mm off of a 14L Cummins. It's all just money, right?

So my stock exhaust manifold on my 2000 cracked the other day. I have a 98 with a cracked block that I'm robbing the manifold from. The one I'm robbing is a 3 piece ATS. Problem is, ATS manifold has 4 studs in it, while the stock turbo has 2 studs in it. Which one would you guys drill out the holes on to get them to mate together? I'm not ready yet to put the compounds from the donor truck on my 2000 yet.

Thank you. I didn't find much online either. I was just hoping someone had had this happen before. Seems like it would be something a vehicle would do for the security, but i have a black key for truck.

Not that. I own 3 cummins I know about grid heaters. They actually turn off and back on. Like 1 second each way. Does it for a few minutes them stops.

I have a 2004 crew cab short box that when I start the headlights, tail lights, and blinkers all blink for a few minutes. Any idea what the cause is?

I just put a stage 6 dual disc clutch from south bend in it over the weekend out of my truck with cracked block. Bearing seemed fine so I used it. I did get it all pulled as 1 unit, actually balanced on the jack very well. Bearing still seems fine. I think the squeal I'm getting is from the pressure plate fingers not having enough pressure against the Bearing when the clutch is engaged fully. Pivot ball is slightly worn. I put a washer behind the pivot ball, and put the new Bearing in anyways. Hopefully button it all back up tonight before work, bed is calling my name.

I need to quickly getbny throw out bearing changed before leaving for a trip tomorrow. Thinking of I pull both cross members that I should be able to pull the trans and transfer case as one unit with out draining the fluids that are brand new. Has anyone done this?? Is there enough room? I have a HD trans jack, so I'm not worried about weight.

I was towing a trailer last night and noticed that my brake lights were not working. I've dug into it a little bit. Ive tested all the fuses and they're good. I've done continuity test on the brake switch and it is good. i have turn signals and 4 way flashers, but i don't have any brake lights. Any ideas?

i was moving my 2004 2500 around today, i noticed that while i had it running the headlights and taillights were blinking about once every second. I didn't have the headlight switch on even . Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this?

I replaced mine with a steeI replacement from Heater Treater. Never have to worry again.

There doesn't appear to be link for a 2000 FSM. So do I use the 99 or the 01?
