recently went to turn on heated seats and steering wheel in controls. Icons are there but not lit up and dont respond to touch. Checked fuses, 96 and 97 check out good. Any ideas?

Yes sir popped right off. I want to thank you all for taking the time to help me. I learned a lot along the way.

IT'S ALIVE!!! My buddy came over and he cycled the key while I loosened injectors. Next thing I know fuel is spitting out. He said he was pushing throttle down slightly while motor was chugging. true story!

Yes I have fuel to the banjo bolt at pump. Are there any specialized tools needed for pump swap out that I would need? Ive always been pretty good about making sure power service anti gel is in the system before winter. I suppose gelling and gumming are not the same thing.

I ordered one. have any idea on what its gonna tell me? do the vp44s get rebuilt, is there a better direct replacement?

No I have not. Do you recommend a good scanner? I do remember last time I drove it to Hay Days that the fuel gauge was all over the place. I figure once I get it moved I could replace sending unit. I would wager that this truck is one of the few remaining rust free 2nd gens in MN.

I had tree line damn near off but no fuel flowing. must have cycled 6-8 times. got it to chug but just wont fire....

Got the starter installed turns over really quick now, got fuel to vp44. but not popping off. Seems to me its lost its prime again, even after having a shop replace a check valve. What is the proper way to prime pump? TIA

Thanks fellas for the input. I only get home on the weekends witch makes things difficult. last weekend I was searching for the neutral safety switch down on the clutch pedal, all I can really see is what I would say is the hydraulic plunger. SWo I crawled under and looked at tranny driver side, nothing. Passenger side is a 2 wire connector that worked it self out, I thought that might do it, but no. The #2 fuse checked good. Ill check the relay tonight. While I was having the fuel issue it cranked over just fine, is it possible the starter got to hot and just failed ? Yes all lights on dash work. Is the clutch pedal position switch testable ?

Could I please get some help. Ive trying to get my 01 6 spd manual started after sitting for 2 years now. I got the fuel problem fixed. turned the key and nothing. new batteries fully charged. Are there still neutral safety switches? something else I could be looking for ?. TIA

Thanks for the input guys. Went to check voltage at dueche connectors at pump. both wires fell off in my hand from corrosion thnx to these pesky Minnesota winters. fixed that and walla! got fuel. Never ends tho, went to fire her up and nothing not even a click.

Ole girl has been sitting for a good while. waiting for glow plugs to warm up I didn't hear fuel pump run. The FASS 150 has been flawless on the 01 dually over the years. 12.95V from battery across 30 to 87 on the relay but only 8.5V across 85 to 86 with ignition on. Ive never been good at diagnostics, seemed logical. power and ground from original carter pump. That 2 pin connector leads into large factory harness that's run along the block should have 12V right?

Hi Mike, sorry ive been tied up. for whatever reason ram has left this wide open. been digging mud out already, cant wait for the snow and ice.

ISO company that makes the top dead center piece for inner fender well liners. Or whole new linner. Ram in their infinite wisdom left that piece out in their 18 dually. Have contacted them, and I can get from the little girls that answer the phones and emails is sorry but unfortunately... TIA.

hello everyone, looking for information that can help me make a decision on new rig. Being a 798 pipeline welder I travel from top to bottom, coast to coast of this great county of ours looking at a new ram dually with the I6 and Aisin tranny.Seems all that is available in the 18 models the 4:10 gears. Now after reading all the info that i can find, I have yet to find anything that will give an idea of the truck will ride down the road at 70 with just my welding machine and tools loaded up, about 2k lbs id say. towing a 10k trailer from job to job should be a breeze. But Is the rpms just gonna be screaming? I cant help but think that somewhere there has to be a chart/graft showing this info. TIA Bill

Morning,I'm having dead peddle issues in my rig and stuck up on a mountain. Put a new tps in and the followed the reset proceedure, no luck. How did you test for voltage? I have a meter with.

HX35W turbo too small for the 275 injectors ? exhaust is 4" turbo to muffler, dual 4" back. on a side note, brake booster sprung a leak. looks to be from the flange closest to the fire wall. wet under side. are they rebuildable ?

I did find out that the turbo is a Holset HX35W, couldn't find out what size in MM thou. and the toy hauler is just under 10K with one bike in it. Thanks again for all the input, PS does anyone know what injectors come on the HO 5.9 ?

sorry fellas, most of the paragraph that I typed this morning didn't show up, had to do with nv5600 being a six speed. But since we are talking tires, this tire n rim combo were free, so I'm gonna drive em off. Been running door sticker air psi, seem to be wearing ok, cept front right. that one always gets cupped really fast on outside edge but here is what my door sticker says.

morning, my data is limited as well as coverage, want u to c this, pg 1A.

Hello and good morning, I recently bought a 33' toy hauler. and I quickly found out that my rig is not set up for towing that kind of weight. wondering if I can get some recommendations for solving this dilemma. truck is all but stock with a juice with attitude programmer. set up is as follows, 01 3500 dually HO 5.9, 6 sp man NV5600, front axle dana M60 f/ 248mmFBI, rear Dana 80 (hybrid) ( not quite sure what that means ) with 3.55 gear ratio, currently running LT 245/75R17 tire n rims. I work this truck 6 days week as a union pipeline welder, time is precious and I only want to have to do this once. does anyone have experience with the gear vender product? Anyways it time to burn rod, thank you in advance for any and all help.

thanks you guys for the help.

a little on the warm side here in Ohio, so ive been using the AC a lot. the other day I noticed the floor was wet, sure enough I peeled up the carpet an the carpet is soaked. clean water so I'm thinking its condensation. does anyone know if there is a drain under the dash that could be clogged or disconnected ? thnx in advance

Hey every one, just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. After a 3hr run lets say from MPLS,MN. to Duluth, MN. 190 miles. I get to hotel turn key off and pull it out but truck still running. this has happened a couple times now. I let it run for bout 10 minutes while I checked in but still wont turn off. had to put in gear and let clutch out. thnx in advance.

well, they all light up bright under braking. I guess that's all that matters. thnx every one.
