Low pressure switch will also keep the clutch from engaging.

Update: Midway through a 1500 mile road trip, this setup is exactly what I was after - slightly wider stance, no other required mods such a leveling kit or spacers, reasonably quiet ride, room for bigger brakes down the line. These protrude past the fenders by an inch or so. There is no rub on the suspension in tight turns. My only concern is that these track so straight and true that the inch or two of slop in the steering is now annoying. The old tires had a slight pull to the left, which took up the slack.

130,000 & change - miles shouldn't add up too badly as I've got a company vehicle that comes home with me every day.

BFG KM2's 305/65/17 on Mickey Thompson Classic III 17" x 9" wheels I'll be putting the stock 16 x 8 aluminum wheels in the classified section soon if interested.

I agree with Tom. I had a 420 on my Pacifica until the cat was replaced.

That's what I thought, but wanted the opinion of people more experienced with these engines. Thanks

In the middle of replacing injection pump when I notice the condition of the tappet cover gasket. It's severely cracked, but not leaking (yet). I'm going to replace it as long as I'm this far in it already, along with the camshaft position sensor - it looks like a bear to access when the injection pump is in place. My question is about the insulation panel situated between the tappet cover and the ECM. It looks terrible, and I'm inclined to just leave it off as I don't care about the noise put off by the engine, and some even suggest it holds water and promotes rusting of the tappet cover. My only concern is it may shield some heat from the ECM, even though it's on the intake side of the engine. Has anybody left this thing off? Any ill effects? I found a replacement, but don't think it's worth $129. picture is upside down - sorry. But you get the idea.

Unknown what the fuel pressure is. Just got the truck in January, & haven't installed instrumentation yet. Just turned over 116k on the clock. I think it belonged to snowbirds that just pulled a travel trailer back and forth between SLC & Arizona, so it likely spent a lot of time just sitting around. Since it's a 2001, I've been running the 2 cycle oil in it @ 128:1 since I read about it. Think the next step is the standard gauges so I can see what's going on.

Experienced a dead pedal for the first time heading up the Blue Mountains last month on a trip to Seattle. Didn't recur again for a day, but occurred periodically on the return trip home. Seems to be under light load - last freeze frame shows 8.2%. No CEL, but found the DTC P0216 when I plugged in the scanner today, no other codes. I have 2 questions: First, I'm trying to follow the article (P0216 Fuel Injection Pump Timing Failure) and properly diagnose the problem. Where is "See FUEL INJECTION PUMP TIMING in ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS - RAM PICKUP - DIESEL article." located? I can't find it anywhere here. Second question: Does it matter? From what I'm reading, is the pump doomed? I've seen references to the "Death Code". If I'm just buying time by going through the diagnostics, I'd rather replace both pumps now and be done with it and have a reliable truck. I really don't want to waste a bunch of time and repeated repairs. Thanks!
