Most of the 4th gear hunting is caused my alternator noise/grounds read this link and try it before chucking 400+ $ for an APPS, you can also try re-setting the apps, some have had good luck with that and it costs nothing,
Grounding mod...
All the above is good...new starter contacts/ don't have a shut off solenoid (24v) on an off note just before the grids stuck, I noticed when I used my mechanical hand throttle and set the hi-idle when I turned the key off, the truck stayed running! At first I thought that the remote had been...
Well it had to happen... last night on the way home the check gauges lite came on. the Volt gauge was reading very low, so I switched the Juice to read Volts and sure enough I was down to 10.8 to 11.2, I only had a few miles to go, so home I went, parked the truck, fiqured I'd look at it in the...

I ran my drawstraw into the fuel tank module (after removing the orginal pick up tube and filter) even drilled a couple 3/8 holes around the outside of the "basket" I still have 1/4 fuel pressure fluxiations,(does not run out of fuel, just drops to 0 ) mind you I seldom if ever let it go...
I replaced my LP with an Airdog(FASS) within 2wks of the new IP, 1/2 fuel line with a draw straw. even with the Edge J/A on 5x5 a WOT run does not drop below 14psi I have the alert (data log) set for 10psi but I'll move it higher to see if the pressure ever drops when I'm not looking.
Thanks, my concern was more that they cycle on EVERY HOT start, I get what you are saying about the emmissions/cold start issue, and dont have a problem with that. so ferm your saying the ecm turns the alt off during grid cycling. gonna have to dig out the multi-meter to do a couple of tests to...
When its cold outside, 5-0 Celcius (not F) my truck will cycle the grids on every start even if the coolant temp is 195 (which it is all day) I have replaced the IAT sensor and there is no change, I think its unnecessary alternator load, and wondering if anyone else has this issue.
My choices...
I believe most of them that say gas or diesel on the box, give two options, a pre-set time or its hooked to the glowplug circuit, so when the glows go out the truck will start. I had one on both my chev 6.5 and on my 5.9 Dodge,
I found my way here from the place awhile ago, just forgot about it, then was reminded while reading a thread over on the other "place", I'm pretty sure I'll be dropping in more often seeing as I recognize a few users from the 6.5 family, still have a soft spot for the 6.5, but have since moved...
