  1. Thanks everyone for your help! I've finally found my issues!
  2. I have a fass, there are no screens. We also took the entire fuel unit out and changed the line for tge pickup tube just incase air bubbles just to rule that out
  3. I drove it today, got maybe 100 yards and it died. Took forever to get it to restart. When it did it didn't stay up for long, died again. Idled rough, put it in gear and it went to hell quick step on the clutch and it'd idle but crappy. Even in the idle, it would die, got it close enough to push to the house and parked it. I had to go on an emergency storm call so I may not be able to put more to it until a week or 2
  4. Yes, I'm just finding this out now.
  5. Trust me, I know. I order one of those scan tools obdlx and I'm gonna set up a day where I can drive it until it acts up and see what happens
  6. Thanks, I'll definitely try it. I'm up for anything right now. I'm almost $3,500 down from all this
  7. I have been having an issue that's come down to being a major pain in my ***. My truck began to have a slight miss in the pedal, rough idle and would die at times. So I ran some codes and Saw 0216. My mechanic said a miss in the pedal is probably the vp44 taking a dump. About 2 weeks later the truck died! All signs pointed to vp44 so we changed it out. Mind we didn't diagnose, just assumed that it died and wouldn't restart that was it. After changing vp44, 3 days later it acted up again. We check fuel pressures, and pressure tested the pump and checked for air. we found a voltage issue, a battery was shot, replaced it. Decided maybe it was the vp44, claimed warranty and got another. With the new vp44, it happened all over again. Pulling on wires, checking grounds, checking connections the mechanic was worried it maybe the ecm. I sent the ecm off to rebuild, had issues with the rebuilder, so I bought another. Pulled ecm in truck runs, ran fine just had strange codes, 0230,0575,0370. Later down the road it started to have a miss pedal, then the idle went to hell. Pulled over checked voltage on the alternator, it bounced all over 13-14,5,0,18,16,13-14,5,0 and so on. It finally leveled off at 13-14 and idled and ran just fine. Few days later, drove down the road same thing. This time lots of white smoke, and it died. Waited a few minutes then it started up and ran fine for about 50 yards and did it again. Sat and waited 15 mins or so started up and ran fine. Next time, I limped it home and tested ac ripple, 23-25 mV on charge side and voltage was fine. Idle sucked, I turned all electronics on, while checking ac ripple and it was barely loping. Today I took alternator in to test it passed everything. Ran codes with alternator off and only codes I get now are the 0216 and the 0230. I'm going to check all grounds again, clean, ohm, and retighten. I just find it odd 2 codes are gone now the alternator is off, granted I didn't check them before I pulled alternator.
  8. Where do I do that, I'm new. I tried to edit profile and it goes to change password
  9. I have a new transmitter, just not sure how to program. As for auxiliary, I mean when you turn the key back, as to just turn on the radio.
  10. I've never had a transmitter, I was just curious. Now, I do have another issue with my windows not going down in auxiliary. Have any ideas on that?
  11. Has anyone ever rebuilt a hydrobooster?
  12. I have a 2001 dodge ram, how do I know if it's capable of having a keyless entry?
