Green Bean Thinkin'.........
Just another way, out of thin air, for the government to confiscate money; of course that tax is past on to the consumer. So, it is just another hidden tax on the proletariat.

Please prayer for MoparMom
Mike, Dan just shared with me about Rosalie. Although we knew this day would come, it is still so very sad; a terrible loss of an incredibly wonderful, God-fearing woman, Mom, and friend. I loved her from the first "Hello" back in August 2017! Her positive energy, joy, zest for life and her love for Jesus made an imprint on my heart!! She so loved her home and property there in New Meadows; a place God directed her to so many years ago. Well, once again God is directing Rosalie to a new home He has prepared for her where she will live eternally without pain, in a new body and in the glorious presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that Rosalie's passing with be peaceful; and, that even tonight she is seeing glimpses of Jesus and the glory of heaven. I pray God will comfort Rosalie with His peace assuring her that you, Mike, are in the palm of His hand as His plans for your life will prevail. Mike, I pray God's peace flood through you as you trust the promptings of the Holy Spirit as you make these difficult decisions on behalf of your Mom. May God's grace fill you with the perfect words as you spend your last hours together; do not rush. Rest in God. "Be still and know that I am God." The Hebrew root of 'be still' doesn't mean 'be quiet', it means "let go." Let go of what you cannot control - and rest in the knowledge that God is in control. I am grateful that God has brought Eileen into your life this past year for such a time as this; I am glad Eileen has had the pleasure of getting to know your Mom and will be with you during these next days and months of transition. The grief in the loss of your Mom's presence with you will be deep; but, I trust the years of loving memories together will fill that void in and warm your heart. Please know that Dan and I are here for you anytime during this transition season. With all our heartfelt thoughts and prayers …………… Jennifer and Dan

Productive day
I would have them powder coated; they would stand up to the weather better. What size air compressor are you using for the sandblaster?

Seat covers
dripley had his seat covers embossed with his personal logo.

Seat covers
They look good. I always have problems with the seat bottom cover staying in place. How do these workout?
-
over 2000 rpms sometimes lose of power , no pedal response
What @dripley and @JAG1 said. Here is the W-T modification.

Hard starting, no starting
That's a good point and it should be addressed and corrected as soon as you can because it can led to other problems but I don't think it is causing this no start situation.
-
Fuel sending unit
NO, @dripley just hunts and pecks at the keyboard.
-
Hard starting, no starting
So, it's an intermittent problem. Next time it happens try starting it with just the right connector at the PCM disconnected. If it still doesn't start disconnect the left connector. The PCM grounds at the passenger side battery. The center connector is for the transmission sensor and solenoid control. Be sure all the connections, battery terminals, and grounds are clean and tight.

Brake Fluid - Dot 3 or Dot 4? Recommendations welcome.
I use DOT4 in all my vehicles.
-
Hard starting, no starting
Does it stay running after you reconnect these items or at what point does it die.
-
Hard starting, no starting
Does the starter motor crank the engine but the engine does not start? Which wires from the PCM are you grounding? Color and connector position at the PCM please.

1999 3500 Cummins won't crank over
That is 87 and it goes to the starter solenoid, that is why the starter works. RELAY PIN LOCATION OHM READING TERMINAL 85 TO PIN #2 AND THROUGH NSS TO TRANSMISSON CASE FOR GROUND BATTERY VOLTAGE AT TERMINAL 30 VOLTAGE AT TERMINAL 86 WITH KEY IN START POSTION If you have a high OHM reading, 0L or 1, at terminal 85 with the transmission in park or neutral then there is an open circuit. Either the wire is bad from the relay to the switch, the switch is bad, the linkage is out of adjustment or a problem with the part that is cracked in the valve body.

1999 3500 Cummins won't crank over
If that metal square is used to activate the switch and it has become dislodged and recessed then that is a problem. If you have tried a new switch and ohm test still shows an open circuit at the center pin or terminal 85 of the starter relay plug in the PDC then yes the problem is in the transmission. What are you jumping directly and which terminal?

Thinking about a 5th wheel or travel trailer
The leaks come from the rubber EPDM roof failing and the water running down between the outside siding and interior wall. Also check the fiberglass gelcoat for delamination and microcracking. Check the suspension for wear at the shackles; I've hade to replace mine twice now.

Thinking about a 5th wheel or travel trailer
It looks like a bear of a trailer. If you have kids where would they sleep? It's an 07 so, if the roof is original it's at the end of it's life and will need to be replaced soon. See if there has been any leaks by running your hand over the walls an feel for soft spots in the 5mm under layment behind the vinyl wall covering. Check water system for leaks; not only in the piping but the valves and the one way valve to the fresh water holding tank.
-
1999 3500 Cummins won't crank over
With out the ground for the starter relay, pin 85, through the NSS the starter will never work. The power flow is pin #85 to pin #2 (middle pin) of the NSS to the metal part of the NSS body which is grounded when screwed into the transmission case.

Productive day
Some cities here in California have a 10.25% sales tax rate. They want to get your money as fast as they can. Nancy doesn't need a waiver. She has a tax payer supplied limo with driver and security.

Productive day
I tell my customers, to justify the repair cost, that if they amortize the repair cost over 12 months it will be a lot less than the cost or even a lease payment. Another cost to consider is the amount of sales tax and registration fees on a new vehicle can be more than the repair on the old vehicle. Sales tax on a $60,000 here in California can be as much as $6,150.

1999 3500 Cummins won't crank over
Test ignition switch by volt test at pin 86 at starter relay plug. Battery voltage there when key is turned to start position. Test the neutral safety switch with ohm meter at pin 85 at starter relay plug in the PDC. One meter lead on ground and the other at pin 85. When transmission is in park or neutral the reading should be about 0 ohms. Using a 14 gauge wire between pin 30 and 87 of the same plug should cause the starter to run.

[FIXED]1997 Engine Speed Sensor
Look at all the fun you get to have. There's been a lot of discussion here on the best/worst ball joints. AC Delco, NAPA are good and MOOG, Spicer are not so good is the general consensus.

CAD Questions
The connector (C106) for the CAD is at the right side of the radiator core support; see page 8W-90-21 and 8w-40-6 in the FSM.

Came across the fourm!
Welcome to the mad house; sounds like you'll fit right in here playing with your truck. I'm not that bad, I just need good coffee to keep me working.

1999 24 valve high idle and bucking at highway speeds
These trucks control units are very susceptible to not only poor grounds, weak connections at the battery, bad batteries, corrosion in the connectors but AC voltage from a bad alternator diodes. If the AC voltage is high enough, >0.03VAC, It will cause not only automatic overdrive problems but other drivability problems to the point of ECM/PCM failure. I strongly suggest you test for AC voltage with a quality volt meter, like a FLUKE multimeter, and read over that Ground Reference article.

1999 24 valve high idle and bucking at highway speeds
Check the cable that goes from the alternator to the PDC where the 140 amp fuse and from the other side of the fuse and the battery for high resistance or bad connection.. Has the W-T Mod been done? See below.
