Oh ok thanks Mopar1973Man!! So as for my truck not starting I removed the Alternator, and both Batteries, and had them all tested. Come to find out one of my batteries are bad! So Iv'e got a new one and am going to put it all back together and keep my fingers crossed that was the problem. It makes sense since after I had the batteries disconnected for a few days when I replaced my starter contacts. I noticed the truck was quite turning over as quick as it used to. According to the guy at the Auto parts store it wouldn't hold a charge. I was surprised about the Alternator still being good since it was the original with 136,000 on the truck so I tested it twice at two different stores to be sure! And it's good so will see fingers crossed!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea I probably won't chance it. Hopefully I haven't ruined my turbo prematurely!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok thanks Dripley! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dripley ok that makes me feel a little better! But is there anyway I can clean it out? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alright guys so I made the mistake of using a KN Air Filter for the last 4 months, and am currently waiting for a BHAF to come to the door . But before I do my switch is there a way to get the oil out of the turbo? It's not to bad since it's only been 4 months but you can still plainly see the oil in there it's not imbedded in the metal of the turbo yet Thank god!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well that explains why the batteries have to come out! Thanks Diesel4life in the info!! So I'm still looking for the answer to my post above about the APPS any body know? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Diesel4life, well since the Alternator has to come out to get bench tested I might as well take the batteries too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why would u have to remove the batteries before testing? Can't u just disconnect them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mopar1973Man, I was reading in your APPS reset section of your website, and correct me if I'm wrong but according to it i was supposed to reset my APPS when I disconnected the batteries, and reconnected them correct? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea that's what I was thinking. On the test with the Alternator doesn't it have to be running? And to test it I would just do what u had done on your website correct? And as far as the voltage drop test on the main cables I just do that with a test light right? As far as the contacts go I just replaced them and the plunger a week ago due to it not starting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - - - Updated - - - I was also looking for the link on here to find out how to test the HF fuel pressure? for that's what Mopartechnician recomended. Any idea where this link is located Mopar1973Man?

Ok sorry guys for the delay but I work nights and sleep during the day. Anyways I still have to get a can of ether to try Mopar1973Man's technique. But when I went to start it tonight it cranked real slow almost like a dead battery. So I'm going to test the batteries tomorrow and see what they read. But i was thinking it might be the Alternator cause it's the original with 136,000 on the clock. What do guys think? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh ok thanks stodg73! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah ok I'll have to hunt around for those threads and videos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok then give the air filter it self a squirt of ether and try and fire it up right? How would I go about testing the fuel pressure with a pressure tester? Thanks for Baring with me on these dumb questions remember I'm new to this! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol ok thanks again for all your help!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so I replaced my contacts in my starter a week ago when my truck wouldn't start that fixed that issue! Now tonight I went out to start it and I noticed that mt lift pump ran for only 3 to 5 seconds and then I waited for the to go out and it just cranks, and I get no codes. So I turned the key to the "off" position and then turned the key to the "on" position and this time the lift pump ran like it's supposed to for about 20 to 25 seconds, and the came back on and I waited for it to go out and tryed it again still just cranks with no codes:banghead:. Now iv'e only had the truck a year, and replaced the fuel filter twice and each time I bumped it like required but I had to crack the fuel lines to get the air out of the system to keep her running. Thought maybe this might be related to the issue Im having. As far as fuel pressure goes I dont have a fuel pressure guage yet so I have no idea what that is:doh:. Maybe my lift pump craped out on me? Is there a way I can test the fuel pressure coming into and out of the fuel canister, and the fuel going into the VP 44? If so how? Thanks in advance to everyone that shares there knowledge!!in helping me figure this out much appecaited!!!

Ah ok. Thanks Mopar1973man!! I'd like to go with the AirDog due to the better filtration but it's a little outside my price rage compared to the Raptor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mopar1973Man ok so I've talked to AirDog and I told them I needed a 120 micron filter and they had said they only carry a 2!!! Any ideas on where I can get that 120 inline filter? I find it weird that a place that sales Fuel Pumps only caries a (2) Maybe there was some misunderstanding there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow lots if feedback on that post. Diesel4life that's a great set up u have there!! I'd like to use my carter as a back as well but am not able to find a video on how to connect it all up but will continue the hunt for one! Mopar1973Man as far as the fuel pressure gauge goes yes I need one very badly!!!! I am still on the hunt for one I'm thinking about going mechanical for a less chance of interference should any electrical issues arise. Been looking for a video on how to put one in since I've never done anything like that before. So far no luck but will continue the search. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks IBMobile for getting back with some pics! I've decided to go with the Raptor 100 and bolt it the frame with a big line kit from the fuel bowl to the vp44 and an inline filter before the Raptor. I've priced it from AirDog and got a $400.00 quote. Which I thought was kinda low but will see when it comes time to buy it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
