03 6.0 cranks but won't fire at all, please help
Well, there are plenty of things that can go wrong, but if I were going to shoot from the hip with no other information on your '03 I would guess that the ICP sensor failed and contaminated the connector and harness. It is on the driver side under the turbo. Oil leaks through the sensor and...- Doggy Daddy

Anybody had "PCM Reset" problem?
I had looked at the connections at the PCM and Power Distribution Center early on. Everything looked good then, although I have not looked at the IDM connector. I have ohm tested the sensor circuits and short-tested (connect one end to fused power, ground the other end and see if the circuit...- Doggy Daddy

Anybody had "PCM Reset" problem?
I have a problem on a '99 F250 that I have found described in TSB 97-15a as PCM Reset. The truck acts like the key has been turned off and back on quickly: the WIF, WTS and SES lights cycle and the accelerator returns to idle until it is released and reapplied. The problem happens more when...- Doggy Daddy

Engine light????????????
Hey 616, did you ever figure it out? If you turn the key on, off, on, off, on without starting the engine it should display the code (if any) on the odometer. Do you have any electronics added to the engine?- Doggy Daddy

BFG Mud Terains: sipe or not?
Interesting. I guess the edges of the tread blocks do the gripping on snow? It's easy to see that there are twice as many edges on the A/T as the M/T when you look at that first comparison page. I thought that it was the deep lugs with enough room between them to allow the snow to pack in...- Doggy Daddy

BFG Mud Terains: sipe or not?
95: It is my understanding that siping is more effective on tires that have large blocks of rubber. Trucks I've driven with these tires had good street manners and acceptable noise. My commute is 16 miles of 2 lane backroad, (not 50 miles of freeway) and when the weather is crappy it is...- Doggy Daddy

BFG Mud Terains: sipe or not?
Hey guys, I'm considering putting 285/70-17 Mud Terrains on my '03 Dodge 3500 SRW as winter tires. The truck is mostly my commuter, is pressed into farm duty sometimes. Towing is random; usually a fairly light flatbed trailer with project materials; I have a travel trailer but probably not...- Doggy Daddy

1993 W250 diesel, a few questions....
Phillip, Sorry that nobody responded, I have been away for a while. I believe that the vacuum pump should be making at least 20" vacuum. I don't know how much it takes to turn the warning light off, but if the light is on then there is something wrong. As I recall the rear axle sensor on...- Doggy Daddy

Bob V's 2wheel low kit
Second Gen Dodges up to the 2001s have a vacuum operated sliding splined sleeve in the middle of one of the front axles. When the transfer case is in 4wd the sleeve is slid onto both halves (on that side) it works like a regular open drive axle. When the transfer case is in 2wd the sleeve is...- Doggy Daddy

Squeal at shutoff??
The belt chirp seems to happen more often on the automatics, maybe the torque converter has less inertia than a flywheel and the engine can turn backwards quicker. Darrin, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but 7 grand for a first gen 2x4 and the lady is riding a bus for 1000 miles to...- Doggy Daddy

black smoke / fuel lift pump?
Well, no, the intercooler lowerers the EGT which allows more fuel to be added safely. Also, from a stop would be where the intercooler has no effect.- Doggy Daddy

black smoke / fuel lift pump?
Do you mean when you start the engine or when you start away from a stop? In either case I wouldn't sweat it too much since a bit of black smoke is normal. If it is really bad on acceleration from a stop there could be a misadjustment or a binding problem in the aneroid system. There is a...- Doggy Daddy

Fuel leak
Although not impossible, I would not think that the banjo joint would start leaking out of the blue. When I've known of it leaking is after it has been disturbed. I'd be more suspicious of the pump itself (10 years is not so bad on a fuel pump). If you have taped the fuel vacuum switch wire...- Doggy Daddy

Rear air conditioner iinop.
Is it like ambient air warm or more like "heater is on" warm? I've never had the opportunity to work on a dual climate system but I'd guess that the rear evaporator has an expansion valve (that might be plugged) that could cause it to not get cold. If it feels like the heater is on then there...- Doggy Daddy
