In the above diagram, the fuel pump will only work when the starter motor is being engaged and pin # 85 is energized. What else is energizing pin #85 when the starter motor is not being used? Also the ECM is still powering the fuel pump. The diagram below takes the load off the ECM/ECU and puts it on the battery/alternator.

So 220 ohms at sender and infinity reading at the male connector by the left front wheel well. I'd say you have an open circuit and need to repair/replace a wire or two. I don't know if Larry B's carries it or not but for the price of 4 heat shrink solder sleeve butt connector and a roll of 18-16 gauge wire you could have it fixed.

Since the BK/LT BLU wire was at joint connector #1 in the power distribution center I assumed it was battery voltage. After reading this I took another look at the wire diagrams. Pins 15-18 go to ground and that's why there is no voltage. Sorry, that's what happens when I assume. The voltage does come from the PCM Plug #3 pin #26 dark blue/white wire. I was doing an oil change on the truck today so while I was under there I took some readings at the connector by the left front wheel well. With a 1/4 tank of fuel the sender read 164 ohms between the DK BL/WT and BK/LT BL wires. The BK/LT BL wire that goes to ground showed 6 ohms between the female connector and ground at the battery. The DK BL/WT wire from the PCM showed 11.3 volts with key on.

What a trip, what a story! Love, kindness and good fortune was around every corner. Thank you for sharing.

I replace about one radiator a month. Every one is due to a leak in the area of the radiator where the hot water from the engine comes into it. Either the seal between the aluminum core and plastic side tank is leaking or there is a crack in the side tank. Sometimes the neck for the upper radiator hose snaps off. What I find is the plastic there has thinned out and weakened do to the hot coolant. I cut the side tanks from these radiators before I bring them in to the recycler. The only radiators I've seen with some type of blockage are the old copper/brass type that have a calcium/mineral blockage or plastic/aluminum radiator with some type of sealer (Bars Leak) at the bottom. The biggest problem I find is the ph is to high (8.0 ⇧ base) and causing corrosion in the cooling system, cylinder head, and block.

Voltage comes from PCM plug #3 pin #26 to the sender then to pin #17 of the joint connector at the PDC then goes to ground.

A few people on the Volvo forums are using Rotella in the older (1982-1998) models because of the zinc content.

I did the same when I swapped the seats from left to right.

It's most likely the park switch in the wiper motor is going bad.

I've also been known not to listen to my mom. If I lived close by I'd be happy to do it for you. My work van is all set up for it but the 2day drive would be a bit much.

Like my mom all ways said, "Take time to enjoy life because if you die today they (work) will have somebody in your place tomorrow".

I agree with notlimah. I use to do alignments at a shop for a few years. When the specifications call for a setting in tenths of a degree or inches it's impossible to do with a measuring tape and be right on. You can get it close enough to drive but it still will be way off.

Check this out, may be some info here, Also call a wreaking yard that specializes in trucks, they would know. http://www.ebay.com/itm/94-95-96-97-98-99-00-01-DODGE-RAM-1500-PICKUP-ENGINE-5-9L-8-360-VIN-Z-186334-/162122321630

I can get you a copy of an 01 factory service manual on CD.

Getting to be time for pheasant and dove hunting just north of the Mexican boarder. We walk the farm fields to flush out the birds while the Boarder Patrol goes driving around use to flush out the "undocumented" boarder crossers. Some of my friends have been wanting me to go chucker hunting up near Ridgecrest, CA

Along with everything else

This is my wife's dream kitchen

I've done the same thing. The local Appliance Parts Warehouse wanted all most twice as much for the same part on the internet. Like the difference between Napa and RockAuto price. Needs to be heat resistant to stand up to 500°F.

Nice to have you back.

I agree with leathermaneod, the chrome looks good with black wheels and that is one clean truck!

Surprise her for your 20th anniversary. She'll love you for it. A week of camping, fishing, eating and telling lies

I didn't notice that I was on the Optilub XDP site. Summer blend is still a heck of a cost savings.

How much do you buy at a time? I see a gallon (128oz) is $54.46 plus shipping verse the 8oz 6 pack (48oz) for $35.68 plus shipping. Optilub 1oz treats10 gallons Optilub Cost $54.46/1gal (128oz) $.4254/oz or $.0425/treated gallon of diesel Optilub Cost $35.68/6 pack-8oz bottles (48oz) $.7433/oz or $.0743/treated gallon of diesel WalMart Super Tech TC-W3 1oz treats 1 gallon WalMart Cost $12.88/1gal (128oz) $.1006/oz or $.1006/treated gallon of diesel For the same cost you could treat 303 gallons of fuel using Optilub (from the 1gal jug) verse 128 gallons with the Super Tech.
