Mopar has a point on the mpg. The Fass DDRP might have a hard keeping up time bigger injectors also. Do you have a fuel pressure gauge to keep up with how the pump is working?

First all 2nd gens have a PCM and an ECM. The PCM is on the firewall. It seems a lot of co's. get that confused. The ECM is on the block below the fuel filter canister. It has a 50 pin connector on it. If i am not mistaked the ECM does feed info to the cluster. Please post the codes that you pulled so we can see them. When my ECM went i had codes out the wazoo. They seemed to change sometimes. It was very confusing. If it is the ECM none of the codes are legit. I ran the diagnostic on my cluster and it said it was bad. Now i have a spare cluster. Same thing on the coolant sensor and the apps sensor. I now have spares of both of those. By any chance is one of the codes P 606? That is ECM death code.

the blower motor will pull out from the bottom. there are 3 or 4 screws to take out and as I remember at least one is hard to get to, but other thatn that it is not to difficult. A Haynes manual has it covered or the FSM has it also.

under the dash on the passanger side for the 2nd gen.

that is cheap compared to what i found when i had to buy one. Like blueox says miles and condition make a differance. i paid $2500 for one supposedly with 52k on it. i works pretty good but has jumped out of 6th a few times while coasting, but never under load. this still has me a little worried though. I am either going to rebuild my old one or use it for a core.

I have not used either one, but have read about problems with Pesacala, on the other hand i have heard nothing but good things about DAP. i bought my rv275's from DAP. great folks to deal with.

Welcome from NC.

I had a similar issue a while back. Most of mine were working however. Turned out mine was the ECM. Not sying thats your problem. I think we need a little more help from the more electronicly inclined. i am a novice when it come to that stuff. Did you check for any trouble codes?

My last big haul a weighed 22.7k ran 65, occasionally 70(55 when the limit drooped), and got 10.2 hand calc. i know the weight is a factor, but i cant help but believe pulling that billboard thru the air is the biggest factor. i came over the Blue Ridge mountains and had to down shift to 5th for the grades but mostly stayed if 6th. my egts stayed in check, the Banks is suppposed to monitor that and no let go over 1300*. i mostly saw on longrades egt's of 1100 to maybe 1200. but i would take 12.5 mpg any day. I am not unhappy with 10.2 beings my 5th wheel is almost 13' tall.

it could just be the cluster is bad. there is a diagnostic for that but i cant remember what it is. have you checke for any DTC's?

What speeds were you running?

it is a transmission code but i dont know how to deal with it. it is in the trouble code forum with trouble shooting.

I have the same problem when I drive the Dakota. i believe there is a dent in the floor to the left of the brake pedal. But if you stomp it it will pass very well. That funky tranny works good on passing.Since you have a 5 speed do you ever find yourself looking for one more gear? I always did it in my 96 5speed. When i got my 6 speed i ended up looking for 7th. I still do it every once in a while.

Thats what drew me to Banks 6 years ago. One package with every thing I thought I needed. Fuel pressure was not issue with them then. Might have done it differantly knowing what i know now, but who knows. It is still serving me well though and I am happy with it.

Born in the fifties in Japan. Father US Army redneck, mother japanese. she is a Japaneses redneck. She is ambidextrous, so i am always steering in the direction of the skid. Great for driving, not good for self defense though.

I have the Kroger card. My wife uses the points. That is a battle i choose not to fight. She is only 4'-10" tall, but weilds a mean foot.

just remember you gotta stick in the other truck, dont forget how to use it.

The only reason i asked is because some folks think if the CEL does not come on that there are no codes. But it still seems like your truck ought to be talking to you.

I have never had any but I would think they should not. If your tire was doing that you would know you have a problem.

Did you check for codes or assume ther are none because the CEL is not on? It just seems like the truck ought to be telling something.

Diesel has not followed gas here in Tenn. were i am working nor back home in NC. It has styed in the $3.70 to $3.95 while gas has dropped about 60 cents a gallon.

did you set a distance record for how far a drill can fly or did you maintain your composure?

That is impressive. What a way to make a living.

all of my power comes from the push of a pedal. the skiny one!!!!!

thats one thing that drew me to the banks is i like actual gauges, not a computer screen. if i went to the comp or juice i might have to buy new ones. i just want to keep it simple as it is now. plus the pockets are mostly .
