  1. The new term manufactures are using for the instrument panel is "Data Information Module" Go figure.
  2. No not the injection pump, Check Pin 3 (vio/brn wire) and pin 11 (wht/blk wire) in the data link connector at the left bottom of dash.
  3. That boost elbow you have in the pic is stock so the waste gate is opening at about 18 PSI. The one I installed is set for a max of 30PSI on the HX35. It is from China, Tomtop.com, for about $6. Some other members ordered the part and never got them.
  4. I deleted my post because, after thinking more about it, your speedo still works and a problem with those wires/sensor would also effect it.
  5. I see the diversion treatment program is working.
  6. You better stay out of Des Moines. Some "snowflake" might see it and complain to the state DMV that you're making fun of people with low I Qs then they will have to take the plate back because you offended someone. It happened here in California when someone had their initials JAPLTP on the plate.
  7. This is how Ford does it. The "I" terminal is not used in this application.
  8. Either the grid heaters are using more amps than the solenoid is rated for, the solenoid is defective or that solenoid is not up to the task.
  9. Both relays are rated for 300 amps. The difference beside how they look is the SS-598 is used in newer Fords and has the protective diode in it. I used the SS-581 relay in JAG1's truck in May of 2019 with no problems. When the switch is turned on is there 12+ volts to the "S" terminal of the solenoid? If no, then check for power from the fuse to switch and from switch to solenoid; repair as needed. If yes, then is there battery voltage to both large terminals of the solenoid? If yes, then solenoid is functioning correctly and the grid heater relays may need to be tested. If no, then check ground wire from solenoid body to grounding point; this can be done with an ohm meter. If open circuit, then repair ground. If ground circuit tests good, then replace solenoid.
  10. No, they don't need to be equal; length doesn't matter.
  11. I did mine with the swivel lines and didn't have to pull the hvac box out. You have to work the lines through the fire wall as you drop the heat core in the box.
  12. I've had them for 16 years and never noticed a blind spot.
  13. Four ISSIPRO on the A-post The green light tells me I have the torque convertor locked.
  14. @leety be careful that the truck will still pass the CA biannual emissions test if it is needed in your zip code.
  15. If the turn signals are not working but the 4 way (hazard) lights are then it's most likely the multifunction switch has gone bad.
  16. Older than dirt and collecting our Social Security retirement money.
  17. Yes, LUBRICATION DESCRIPTION NOTE: Refer to (Fig. 148) and (Fig. 149) for circuit illustrations. A gear driven gerotor type oil pump is mounted behind the front gear cover in the lower right portion on the engine. OPERATION A gerotor style oil pump draws oil from the crankcase through the suction tube and delivers it through the block where it enters the oil cooler cover and pressure regulator valve. When oil pressure exceeds 449 kPa (65 PSI), the valve opens exposing the dump port, which routes excess oil back to the oil sump. At the same time, oil is directed to a cast in passage in the oil cooler cover, leading to the oil cooler element. As the oil travels through the element plates, it is cooled by engine coolant traveling past the outside of the plates. It is then routed to the oil filter head and through a full flow oil filter. If a plugged filter is encountered, the filter by-pass valve opens, allowing unfiltered oil to lubricate the engine. This condition can be avoided by frequent oil and filter changes, per the maintenance schedules found in the owners manual. The by-pass valve is calibrated to open when it sees a pressure drop of more than 344 kPa (50 psi) across the oil filter. The oil filter head then divides the oil between the engine and the turbocharger. The turbocharger receives filtered, cooled and pressurized oil through a supply line from the filter head. The oil lubricates the turbocharger and returns to the pan by way of a drain tube connecting the bottom of the turbocharger to a pressed in tube in the cylinder block. Oil is then carried across the block to an angle drilling which intersects the main oil rifle. The main oil rifle runs the length of the block and delivers oil to the crankshaft main journals and valve train. Oil travels to the crankshaft through a series of transfer drillings (one for each main bearing) and lubricates a groove in the main bearing upper shell. From there another drilling feeds the camshaft main journals. The piston cooling nozzles are also supplied by the main bearing upper shell. Crankshaft internal crossdrillings supply oil to the connecting rod journals. Another series of transfer drillings intersecting the main oil rifle supply the valve train components. Oil travels up the drilling, through a hole in the head gasket, and through a drilling in the cylinder head (one per cylinder), where it enters the rocker arm pedestal and is divided between the intake and exhaust rocker arm. Oil travels up and around the rocker arm mounting bolt, and lubricates the rocker shaft by cross drillings that intersect the mounting bolt hole. Grooves at both ends of the rocker shaft supply oil through the rocker arm where the oil travels to the push rod and socket balls (Fig. 148) and (Fig. 149)
  18. I pull the fuel pump relay when the truck is going to sit for awhile to prevent theft. NOTE: if you try to start the engine with the relay out it will not start and the check engine light will turn on with a code about no power to the VP. Have a code reader handy to reset the light.
  19. Glad you could join the club!
  20. Diesel Auto Power https://www.dieselautopower.com/dodge-ram-cummins/1998-5-2002-5-9l-24-valve-dodge-cummins/1998-5-2002cummins-fueling-and-injection/1998-5-2002cummins-fuel-injection-pumps
  21. Yes, pin #7 (center pin) of a seven pin trailer connector. Some trailers will use that center pin for an auxiliary purpose.
  22. Are you sure that's not a urine sample? The diesel here is light yellow to clear.
  23. UBMobile repair. I hope you charged good for that road side service call.
  24. From pin #4 at the APP sensor to pin #32 at the ECM. It is the accelerator pedal position sensor ground wire to the ECM.
  25. Go to Down Loads>Dodge Ram Factory Service Manual>Down load the 2001-Dodge-Ram-FMS.zip-Doc. Open FSM and go to Page 902.
