I installed Timbo APPS what range voltage should I set it up?

I bought a rebuilt alternator and installed it. i'm getting 14.19 charge normal - 13.17 under fully load ( AC on max - head light - fog light - 4 way flash - radio on - interior light on - cargo light on ) + grid heaters on and off 12.19. Ripple form BATT's - BATT positive to ALT case - BATT negative to ALT and finally ALT it self like showing on the video unfortunately I'm reading 30.5 AC voltage I don't no is it acceptable or not? should I go ahead and return it an get the other one? what is your suggestion?

Appreciate

Is DVM is digital voltmeter? I do have 3 different brand & can check any small volt. how do I check the AC noise whit it? how do I probe the BATT and the alternator and the alternator case? I'm asking because newer done it before!!! I know how to check the voltage not probe. As all ways Appreciate for the helps and efforts you guys providing and Please accept my apologies if sometimes I'm getting upset. I want you as of my friends know that is hard for someone like me living paycheck to paycheck keep up whit this truck issues + payment & insurance for it. I think, mention it before the only reason of buying it was, having a camper on it ( borrowing for close friend ) & after been 16 years in the U.S.A going to see the beauty of nature on our vacation.

So if the AC noise cause of ALL this error and failure, what is the best way to get rid of it? changing alternator more often? re-rout the negative wire form under the alternator to front of the engine like the other positive wire over the radiator? install the noise filter?(if someone like fried wire on the oven this method is the very best way!!!) warped the wire with thin aluminium foil? I mean realy what we can do once for a long period of time to be free of this headache?

OK please someone tell me which local part store i have to go that have RIPPLE test for alternator? i went to NAPA, O'Rally, Auto Zone, Car Quest, Advantage auto part, ACDelco in my area NONE of em have ripple test only things they can do is testing for proper charging. now what should i do to been sure the alternator I'm buying it doesn't have AC noise? Thanks to Dodge Chrysler for this she?>?" design for all make and model they all have electrical problem. only Daimler Chrysler not any other make or brand as we seen on the video Mr. Nelson posted is the 06 Chrysler not even 98 to 04 dodge ram 2500 cummins!!!! and we have to spend hundreds of dollars to deal and fix the STUPID design. we just buying the name (Dodge Ram) not the quality. look at this way rear end / transmission / transfer case / don't know any thing abut front end yet? / steering box / steering stabilizer ( in the road looks like DUI driving) / lift pump / VP44 / vacuum pump and steering pump seal /air intake elbow / Alternator noise causing electrical and computer failure / turbo / air filter thumping noise / poor dashboard plastic / AC & heating + fan / and so on I mine what the hack. instead of all, this trucks (from 98.5 - 02) have a good looking body and body style that's all nothing else. it's been only 4 mounts I but this truck and have to spend over 1600 to fix it and still not done yet. every day I'm starting it worried & scared of break down on the road. to me this truck is not Reliable and doesn't have quality. Please Accept my Apologies.

Thanks. how much noise Frequency is acceptable?

I want to make sure what test must be done?

I'm sorry what your family had gone through. I wish could do something unfortunately my hand is tight the only thing we can do is PRAY. God Bless your family and grant you strength.

I'm sorry not having time to check the family, friendly website yesterday. Congratulation for your family first light. ( children's are like brilliant light of any house & happiness for the parents) Welcome to the none ending job " PARENTING " God Bless your family. I remember when my first son was born on 29 years ago we were so happy, now we have to take care of his 2 and half years old son. such a wonderful world. Again congratulation from all members of my family. every one saying he's so adorable.

(VP44, ECM & other computers) NO WAY I let that happened if I need to buy a brand new alternator, I'll do rather than losing all expensive part. I'm going to get rid of the aluminium & let the wiring breath & not using the truck till get the good alternator, thanks for notifying me. would you please tell me which brand is the good one? yesterday my brand new Timbo APPS arrived, I don't have a chance to install it yet since I need to replace the alternator I'll wait then work on both. if someone knows the best or good brand alternator please let me know. Appreciate for all the help and Effort.

Yahp Thank you though.

Thank You to all family member & friend on Mopar1973Man whom Continuously fallowed & helped me during past several weeks to solve my problem with transmission shifting.last week I end up having problem with APPS low voltage and dead pedal + two codes P0121 & P0122 and the check engine light. first time I check the APPS voltage it was 2.46 (not good)but in the back of my stock USA made sensor recommended volt is .619 (wow) anyhow adjust it to .580 as suggested by Mr. Nelson, test drive it, on first few miles was good & normal after that light it came back, dead pedal again, wait for minute got acceleration back & drove it home. order Timbo APPS recommended by notlimah. after I ordered saw the link on timbo web page abut trany problem (Timbo Thanks to you too.) fallow it & read the 5 page & fined out, my problem with Lock & Unlocking between shifting is the same as them! and exactly is what Mr. Nelson told me yesterday morning, stupid noise of alternator diode spread via ground wire which is black or gray color, going toward the air filter & fire wall causes PCM get confuses trany lock & unlock between shifting.I end up doing old fashion treatment (ALUMINIUM FOIL). wrap ALL the ground wire going toward the PCM & wires coming out of alternator with: 1: cooking foil 2: fixflex heating&cooling aluminium tape 3:electrical tape.check the APPS voltage which was dropped from .580 to .245.re-adjust it to .369 as far as I could get with turning APPS clock wise & idle torque all the way back and loose then re-adjusted to .430 with idle screw right before start accelerating. re-calibrate it same as Mr. Nelson video, re-adjust TV cable and test drive. Thank Goodness on this time I had smoothed and proper shifting I ever had.I hope it last longer other wise I have to buy SPONGE which is suggested by Timbo. so when I received My new Timbo APPS definitely it's going to be installed & replace the old one. Now I'm closing this tread or should say topic & move on. I'm realy realy Appreciate of every one whom spend the valuable time and effort for helping me to solving my problem with trany & reading this long store. Best Regards Sam53 Saeed Sadeghian form Everett, WA

Congratulation.

you make my minds free. realy realy APPRECIATE. Best Regards Sam53

Appreciate for respond. by saying that you mean I have a bad VP44 or TPS (APPS) which one? what it can be proof by hot wiring VP44? truck starting with unplugged TPS (APPS) what is that mean? code P1693 ( crankshaft position sensor) I had that before at 184k abut two mounts ago after replace in it don't have scanner to erased it from ECM. today I bought one Busch pocket scanner & pull up 4 codes P0121/ P0121pd - P0122/ P0122pd (pd= pending according to scanner manual book). I went to NW Cummins they told me cummins didn't made APPS (TPS) Chrysler made it. will man it's so EXPENSIVE about $500 @ Dodge Dealer- $274+ @ Napa- $264+ @ O'Reilly!!!!!!!!!!!!??????wooooow I was worried about the sensor price now must dealing with the over 1 grand? J this truck is realy realy break me down. I'm wondering how much more she wants me to spend for her? I just bought it (01/19/2016) for our vacation time to put camper or RV behind it & didn't know, we be end up with this, anyhow it's to late now. any ideas to solve this problem cheaper. I'm totally dissatisfied with this truck & don't want an other headache & may end up sale in it (Apologizes). to me the moment stop losing money that 's start of gaining and profit. Best Regards Sam 53 on my screen still circling would you please sent me again. thanks

Hi there, today any was more confuse than other days. it was acting like wont stay on any speed lower than 25mph or over 55mph otherwise flip flop if I want to stay on any speed rather than those. I've to accelerate or let go of pedal. when I got back home,loosen up TV cable a little bit and test drive it. I could count shifting 1 through 4 even stays a bit more on each specially 3rd that I was complain abut it, but here ago again same o same. as Mopar man suggested, unplugged APPS sensor and start the engine she fire up normal only thing no accelerate. shot it down plug the APPS and start it again engine light came on, do the key things shows 2 code: P0122 & P1693. now what I have to do? any idea or suggestions would be Appreciate. SORRY I don't no how to hot wire VP44.

Thank You so much now it makes sense. I have to stop been worried and Appreciate every one how helped me for my idling problem so I'm going to closed this topic and start fixing the other parts for this old beauty.

Thank You. did you see the light going lite & bright ? when idles like that somethings uses battery voltage. as long as engine warmed up idles on 900 at park & 700 at drive. there is 2 video, 1 shoes idle & out side temp, other shoes idle & interiors light. look to (my ram 2500 weird idling part #2) video.

Thanks how do I do it?

OK friend at last I post my video on you tube and I don't how to share the link but I wrote it here it is:

Thank You, Is it possible APPS cause all of this weird acting and high idling? I test it today on the same road and same speeds with cruise control, guess what? NOTHING just the smooth ride. as Mopar man mentioned on my high idling problem I think this one is caused by APPS too and it's maybe acceleration failure not the poor transmission, what you expert friends think? please let me know. Appreciate

thank You. when I've O/D @ ON (light OFF) or I call it 4th shift. she won't stay on 3rd properly and change to 4th quickly regardless of speed. even flip flop between 2nd & 3rd. EXACTLY.

Thank You that's what exactly I mine. today I try to get the video, it's so weird cause just the 3rd shift acting like that. on up hill ( not much grad ) trany act flip flop between 2nd &3rd, at stop and go on highway traffic between 3rd & 4th. she's not staying on 3rd wile O/D is ON, but when O/D is OFF (light ON) she has no problem at all and working properly. it must be something realy wrong with it and that's the reason I start this topic from the beginning. I'll be appreciate for any suggestion / advise / anything I can fix this problem. if the is no way to solve it by myself then my best choice would be travel to @Dynamic shop.

Appreciate for respond. I must be under 45 or over 55 mph other vise it keep do in it, 10 mph differences it don't make since to me. in fact why not the other shifts or speeds? something is not right. how abut if I just want to stay @ 50 mph from point A to B which is 25 miles a part, then what should I do? ignore the up & down shifting or speed limit? is yours does the same? any advise, Thank You What do you mine?
