I agree. Usually I assume that something I did may not have gone quite right. In this instance, it had been so long, I had forgotten that I'd even replaced the switches. On the bright side, these types of problems always pay off as a learning experience. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?bvc4fo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It fixed! Last thing I don't check were the wires in overhead console. About two months ago I replaced the switches for my map lights. I pinched a wire when reinstalling the console. Took a while to rub through the casing, but finally did and grounded out. Luckily my local dealership didn't rape me. Only $150 and half day in the shop. I assumed by taking it there I was going to be spending twice that. So glad to have gauges again!! --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?1tuumw Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine is Suncoast with special tweaking done by Chris at Relenless diesel when he built the rest of the tranny. I live it. He's done alot for Texas guys. From mildly modified to 11 second monsters --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?jfsdh4 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Truck goes in first thing in the morning. Hope it's not too expensive! --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?c3jtur Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Making an appt at the dealer tomorrow. I hate not being able to fix something myself. Luckily I live in a small town and the service manager is a great guy. I'll let y'all know the outcome. Thanks again for all of your help --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?yaeqfc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No tach signal. The turn signals work, low fuel light and the ABS and CEL lights stay on at all times. As well as the "no bus" on odometer and "ccd" displayed in the overhead console. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?cyfxpl Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I crawled all around under the dad checking connections. Still no good. Read some threads on CF and most referred to the plug in the fuse box with the bolt in it coming loose. Mine will not tighten much. I cleaned and applied dielectric grease and tightened as much as it would grab. Still no luck. I swear I've read as much as I can and traced all wires looking for wear. Checked grounds and connections till I'm nuts. I never say this, but I'm about to give up and take it to someone. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?ytyj0t Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's what I was thinking. Just gotta quit working so dang much so that I can really take a look. I'm thinking under the dash, since I've spent 5 hours looking under the hood --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?bgu1pk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got in my truck after work, no gauges again. Bout to go nuts! --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?5mnicb Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I worked both jobs all weekend, do I only had time to read the info that Michael sent. Very nice, thanks. Out of boredom before work this morning, I fired up my truck. All gauges working! I know it's not fixed, but does that give any clues? --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?uy5oyq Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok. Dash removed and connections checked and cleaned. Still have the no bus indicator and no gauges. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?qi3xsn Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk --- Update to the previous post... I read your link with the very helpful tests concerning my codes. Only problem is I don't think that my code reader has a "body" option. I have scanned agin and retrieved only these codes. P-1698 P-1687 P-1694 These all came up under the Transmission DTC option. None appeared under the Engine DTC option. Also, I'm still unfamiliar with what CCD is. As well as TCM. Any help or advice?

Thanks for the help. I checked all grounds, including under the battery box. Still no good. I'll pull the dad right now and inspect the connections at the cluster. I may have incorrectly transcribed the codes in my haste. I'll check again. Any more suggestions? Thanks again, Patrick --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?3dwrey

Please help. I was driving home from a nearby town, and my CEL came on, all of my dash gauges quit working and the odometer says "NO BUS". When i got home, I scanned for codes and came up with these: -P1698 - No CCD, message fom TCM -P0383 - Generic Grid heater relay -P1687 - No mechanical instrument cluster BUS message -P1694 - No CCd message from PCM - Aisin transmission -P0122 - Low imput throttle position sensor circuit low imput - I replaced the apps 2 months ago with a Timbo unit. Any insight would be much appreciated! --- Update to the previous post... Any chance i have a bad ECM?

Your site really has been a lifesaver. It makes these trucks and their quirks really not seem like such a big deal. I take a lot of pleasure in doing the diagnostics and repairs myself. It's not just being able to brag to my wife about how much money I just saved her either!

Yessir. Seems like it's all good. Starts up great everytime and have'nt detected any fuel in he oil. There is no odr of fule from the puke tube or inside the cab like there was last time. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

After an email to Jkidd, i had a long conversation with his injector guy, Jose. He told me the only 2 possible leak spots would be the injector o-ring or around the vp shaft. He said that if the pintle was not operating correctly my truck would smoke like crazy and run like it was running without all cylinders. The truck was running like a monster. I pulled the valve cover and let the truck idle. There was absolutely no fuel coming from around the injectors. The only other part would be the vp. I bit the bullet and ordered a new one. With Michael's instructions off of this site and a great video on youtube from dieseldan, I replaced the pump without any problems. The was alot of evidence of fuel around the pump shaft and the truck runs unbelievable now. Thanks for all the help. This site and cumminsforum are priceless. Guys with a shared passion for diesel trucks are the best!

I'll call Jacob tomorrow and pull the injectors this weekend. Thanks.

Having a little problem. I searched and didn't find an answer. I have internittent hard starts. Hard to isolate a common denominator except when parked at an angle. It always cranks extra before firing then. Other times it just does it, whether it's been sitting for awhile or just a few minutes. This is the problem that doesn't bother me too much. The other problem is there is consistantly fuel in my oil. These problems just began when I installed my new injectors. This was my first install and I took my time and follwed Mike's instructions. No big deal or problems on the install. Since then I have noticed that I have fuel in my oil. I changed my connector tube o-rings and tightened my injector hold downs. It seemed to get better, but has not gone away entirely. I posted on cummins forum and some suggested the diaphram in my VP. I also asked Jacob (whom I consider to be quite trusworthy). He also suggested the diaphram in the VP. I have scanned and got no codes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks- Patrick.

Don't have the link, but there were alot of bad experiances over on cumminsforum. I got a set from Jacob at dieselautopower.com, the price was great and performance incredible.

ive had problems with them getting into the hvac system. Yhe last time was the first warm day of the year and I blasted the ac, stench and a little bit of fur flew in my mouth. Not real cool:mad:. Are they getting in through the cowl? Would a cowl vent filter from Geno's help?

I had the same problem you are describing with my airdog. I thought the pump was bad and they sent me a brand new one. Was better for about a week, then same problem came back. I got frustrated and took it to a mechanic. They traced the problem to bad battery cables and corrosion. They replaced the cables and my fuel pressure has been great since.
