Can I Test for AC ribble with my Fluke multi meter? My local Alternator/ starter repair shop can check it again but I have to remove my alt. from my truck because he only does bench testing He also said there will always be some slight AC ripple. Is that true? .

So the Best way to disconnect is remove the ring terminal and wire at the drivers side battery ?

I found that company too, In Tennessee. I saw they had a "repaired" price and a "remanufactured" price I didnt call them though .

While waiting for Mike's response Will disconnecting the heater grid effect the "wait to start" light? I thought it might not even light up after disconnecting, but it still lights up on on the dash on my truck....??? .

99 CTD 4x4 Tell me about advantages of disconnecting the heater grid. Im in Calif, but will be moving back to Idaho or Washington state I disconnected the Heater grid wire eyelet right at the drivers side battery positive terminal. ( is that the proper place to disconnect?) Ran my truck to see if it would throw the checkengine light (nope} So tell me the advantages or extra safeguard I benefit by disconnecting the heater grid. I thought I heard disconnecting it helped protect the ECM or something like that ? ? ? Or what issues does the heater grid operating cause, if any ? I obviously draws amps/power

No , incorrect

Well that was just my poor writing description They upgrade and reman. the whole unit, Gomer's US Diesel Parts uses Flight Systems(RAE) as their ECM reman vender and Gomer's said they have had good reviews and No CBs(comebacks). http://usdieselparts.com/i-22169855-ecu-ecm-98-5-99-dodge-5-9l-cummins.html Anyway Ive been doing alot of Research on ECM suppliers .

Anyone heard of RAE Diesel (Reman Auto Electronics)? They are Part of Flight Systems Electronics group http://www.remanautoelectronics.com/about https://www.fseg.net/ I talked to them seems like a winner . The ECMs are re-manufactured, up graded, and also repaired if needed , not just repaired .

Gomers US Diesel Parts in Montana sells Flight Systems ECMs.1 year warrenty I talked to them . Seems like a good seller, Couple place claim lifetime warranty, Flagship and All compu Resources in Florida but I wonder if that's because they have alot of CBs (come backs) bad units I've heard comments, calling around, the florida sellers, beware of

Ive found Go ECM, The above that Bobalos mentioned, I just called FlagShipOne in NY- lifetime warranty no core charge...

Bobalos, I just called and talked to Steve. He knows his stuff , Used to work for Cummins. He is in San Diego too and Im in Temecula area Do you have anymore info and input on the ECM you got from Steve. I had a nice chat with him Rick

Is it necessary to disconnect the battery s to pull out, check, or replace a relay in the circuit box? Rick

ASD relay , Thanks.... exactly what I needed

Has anyone had experience with GO ECM . com? For a ECM rebuild Thanks Rick

I talked to a "really good" mechanic recommended on the phone He said to check my "power-up relay" and my "ECM relay" in my fuse box I cant find anything called a power up or ECM relay on my '99 CTD Are these two relay something that dont even exist ?

Mike , I found what your are talking about and every thing is good tight and clean. In the picture your hand is on a ground wire that has a plug connection. Is that plug something that should be pulled apart and plugged back in? Mine plug looks in great condition. I also have new military battery terminals and up graded cable ends

Where is " passenger main ground for the computers " Do you mean the ground wire on the PCM ? not the ECM

On that link I see only One good shop listed., Auto Computer Specialist,,, I called the phone number and it wont accept calls ..... Im is Calif. is there any ECM repair places western US? I called Auto Computer Specialist in Florida and talked to the girl , They seem pretty knowledgable I told her the delay of the "wait to start" and lift pump Where is the "passenger main ground for the computers" ?

Ok, You guys told me this before, 2-3 years ago, And Mopar man had a thread on Alt noise and bad diode that I saw I had my alternator checked and it had a bad diode so I had my alternator rebuild with new diode pack and brushes a couple years ago, So my Alternator is good Did my bad Alternator diode damage my ECM? So I need to get my ECM rebuild or get another rebuilt/ good ECM ? What / Where exactly is the passenger main ground for the computers. Ill read the link

I have a long time issue '99 CTD 4x4 with 170,000, Ive owned the truck for a long time When I turn on the ignition key to 'On',,, the truck alot of times the lift pump and "wait to start" light have a 3-4 second delay before they get power. So it will crank but not fire up unless you wait to here the lift pump turn on and the 'wait to start" light to go on. Its like a 3-4 second delay for the computer to boot up or something is the best way I can describe it. It is a electric issue not a fuel issue sence I mentioned the lift pump, dont get the wrong idea Any ideas what causes this?

Yeah, I had called Chevron tech and asked the guy that. He said he didnt know and "they" dont tell anyone I had researched bunch of PQIA (Petroleum Quality Institute of America) unused new oil sample analysis a while back comparing delo, rotela, valvoline etc. Bob the Oil Guy site is good too look here: http://www.pqiamerica.com/June 2014/consolidated HDEO 2015.html

I havent been here in awhile Has anyone researched the new Delo oil labeling containers you see at the store Delo 400 SDE SAE 15W-40 Im wondering if the changed the zinc/phosphorous and other content from what the 400LE was? Edit: Yep, they sure did take out some Zinc and Phosphorus Delo 400 LE 15-40 https://cglapps.chevron.com/msdspds/PDSDetailPage.aspx?docDataId=415568&docFormat=PDF Delo 400 SDE 15-40 https://cglapps.chevron.com/msdspds/PDSDetailPage.aspx?docDataId=481951&docFormat=PDF

Yes, I found the list of Chrysler licensed service pack ATF+4 brands. There are quit a few. Wallymart SuperTech atf+4 is also, but I dont think the base oil is synthetic, least it doesnt say on the label

Basically I was looking for what brand name OEM aftermarket. Looks like look for "DOT approved OEM" I thought you had to re-wire and put in relays etc so both bulbs stay on at highbeam....When you convert to sport headlights That link looks like just pig tails to separate for two bulbs each side instead of one dual bulb Does the low beam bulb go off on high beam (like the non sport)with that set-up? It should id think Found these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O83JAWE?psc=1 Are the bulbs in these different than stock? Found these .
