I think this is the picture you're looking for.

Those pressures are for the over pressure safety switch not the running pressure. That falls in the normal range. I think @dripley and you are on to something with that connection and spring.

Need to have the pressure readings to see what's going on. Also, there is a high pressure switch which opens between 450-490psi and closes 270-330psi.

@JAG1 how about using that extra virgin olive oil you were trying out to make your trim black again?

I can't help you with the heat. I've worked up in your area in the summer...no thanks. I know you installed those new parts but I tried to take you through the diagnostic process so no steps are missed. This shows where the ground is located under the dash. It looks like a PIA to get to. If you find that the ground (black/orange) wire from the A/C heater control is the problem then just run a new ground straight down on the left center dash support and ground it on the dash frame near the power outlet.

Next time it does it have a volt ohm meter handy. Now, with the key in the on position and the fan speed switch turned to max the dark green wire at the fan motor should have 12+ volts. If no, check fuse #12 and fan relay in the PDC or the dark green wire for open circuit. If yes, 12+ volts, then ohm test the black/tan wire with the fan switch still at max and the connector unplugged from the fan motor. One terminal of the VOM on the black/tan wire and the other to ground. There should be near 0 ohms. If yes, then there is a bad fan motor. If no, then there is an open circuit in either the black tan wire to A/C heater control, the A/C heater control, or the black/orange wire from the A/C heater control to the ground at right dash center support.

Fine out how much they are going to charge to mount and balance. Some of the shops I use charge $10 no receipt and others $25 plus State waste fee, plus a disposal fee, and any other BS fee they can think of. When you get the tires be sure to check the production date on the side wall. You don't want a tire that's already a year old. It will look something like this (2119), 21 is the 21st week of the year 2019.

OK, the way your truck died is the same way mine did when the VP44 died just north of Riggins, ID almost two years ago. I suggest you do a VP44 hot wire test.

Is the engine still not starting or did it restart?

and a Colt 1911 I have the same fuse set up in my 5th wheel between the batteries and a power invertor; 15 years now and no problems. You carry spare fuses for the two fuse boxes so carry one more fuse for the alternator, not hard to do. @Threadzy I like the fuse block and where you put it

@JAG1 had told me about resettable circuit breakers tripping falsely so I put something like this in with a 150A fuse mounted to the right battery tray.

I get them from Parts Authority. I think they sell retail also. http://partsauthority.com/ locations https://www.bing.com/maps?q=parts+authority+auto+parts&form=EDGSPH&mkt=en-us&httpsmsn=1&plvar=0&refig=4d87e10a971047169c4c3e0993c89ffc&PC=HCTS&sp=1&qs=HS&pq=parts&sc=8-5&cvid=4d87e10a971047169c4c3e0993c89ffc&cc=US&setlang=en-US Rock Auto has them but the your paying shipping from and sending the cores back. This is for a 03. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/dodge,2003,ram+2500+pickup,5.9l+l6+diesel+turbocharged,1413470,brake+&+wheel+hub,caliper,1704

Diesel Auto Power was the go to for me when I needed to replace my VP44 and upgrade the injectors to RV275. Good customer service and fast shipping. The prices are about the same for quality parts no matter who sells them.

If you go with rebuilds DO NOT use Oreille's. Did a brake job 2 weeks ago where the customer supplied the parts. I went through 3 left calipers to find a good one. I normally use the Centrex brand; never had a problem with them and yes they come with brackets.

That's why when I'm in the bone yard I try to snag all those little parts and put them in the shed for "just in case". Pay a couple of dollars now or "no longer available" later.

I have to agree with @KATOOM about this. I deal with this weekly where a lot of the parts out there are junk; then sometime I find who makes the OEM part and it's just as good as the original.

Let's see what Volkswagen has to say about that... "Yes, taken to the wood shed trouble. They must be from that the last group that fled from California. Here in California the police are considered a revenue generator for the city/county/state so there are a lot of them around.

Haven't there been other tuners that tweak the emission systems on vehicles that the government took criminal and/or civil action against?

It's acting like mind did when the VP44 failed, Do the "Hot Wire "test to verify pump.

It sounds like my truck with 112k on it or bad hearing striking here also.

@wil440 is right about locking out overdrive and going up hills in 3ed locked. I do it all the time; slow to 55, lock out O/D, lockup torque convertor, set cruise control, kick back and get up the hill. Going up the hill in 3ed also keeps the exhaust temps down.

I had to get a close up

We need to sell those in the web site store an have @dripley in charge. I think he personally knows the model on the pillow.

Just woke up at 3:45 an the mind kicked on full speed, It'll shut down when it's time to get up,
