If you haven’t done it already, now is a good time to replace tappet cover gasket. I love to spend other people’s money!

This is a great idea @Me78569. Thanks for coming up with it.

While I don’t really have any experience I believe there are some here that recommend staying away from ceramic.

@pepsi71ocean ACS sent me an email after receiving my ECM to test under warranty. Their exact words were “we must advise you that having a tuner voids all warranty as per our policy.” However they did go ahead and repair my ECM under warranty.

Imagine if he had a steel fuel tank !

Don’t know if anyone here is aware of it or not, but Auto Computer Specialists will not honor their warranty on ECM if you have a tuner installed.

Sorry to hear. Wish I was closer. Will keep you and moparmom in our prayers.

Haven’t had any time to work on truck as my job keeps getting in the way. Did some checking on connections etc but been so long I struggle to remember what I’ve done. Been in touch with ACS, they repaired ecm, and they want me to send them codes and they will get back to me. So was rereading codes(can’t remember where I wrote them down) and performed the instrument cluster test. What I’m wondering is if anyone here can tell me what those codes mean. I got 900, 920, 921, 940, 950, and 999. Maybe my cluster is bad. I really need to get this truck running as I use it to plow my driveway. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

The slow crank can appear so gradually that you may not realize how slow it really is until you repair the starter.

Does Costco have a membership?

My boost bolt broke off when I was changing injectors so I drilled and tapped a hole in the back side of intake horn since I had it removed already.

What do you have for fuel pressure

Never heard who won the raffle lights

I just use good 3-M electrical tape that you should be able to find locally and use it on the outside of conduit like jag did

Make sure tip is not loose in iron and a sharp tip will work better than a rounded tip. If you melt a little solder between tip and terminal it will heat terminal up faster.

@notlimah Probably won’t start with gas. Try some diesel ??

ACS in Florida

Something else I discovered is when I plug my code reader in then abs, airbag and mil lights go off and I can read codes from odometer-0122, 1693, 1694, 1687

I sent my ecm in for repair and WTS seems to work correctly but now on odometer I have a no bus message. Also abs, air bag and mil lights are on. Odometer codes are 900, 920, 921, 940, 950, 999 and gauges don’t work. Codes are p1698 and p0237. What do you use if you don’t have DRB III tool? Would really appreciate any help you folks can offer. Thank you

You can buy a new valve for less than $15 IIRC. Check eBay

Likely the vacuum line got pulled off right on top of vacuum pump

Haynes manual may be better than nothing, but just barely. IMO

My dodge had agm batteries when I bought it. Because they are pricey I probably never would have purchased them since 2 are required, however, it sure is nice that the tops and terminals are always clean!

If elk is tied to a tree you could just run up and cut off some steaks!

My nerf bars are Lund I think. They were on truck when I bought it. I like them not only for making it easier to get in but I also stand up on them when getting out which saves sliding off the edge of the seat which will hopefully help save the seat foam/cover.
