My truck is dead . . . need some help here

[Chicago TDP]

Well, I fixed it, not gonna believe this one.

The small ground wire that was on goes to the PMD was cut and corroded. As the truck warned up, the wire would get hot and loose connection.

So, it was mentioned before, CHECK ALL GROUNDS.

LOL... good job, Chicago! That friggin ground wire has been the cause of lots of little problems, but it's just SO easy to forget.

Yep, he is the man on this one. Although, the connection was good, it was the wire that was shot. I had made the wire too taught trying to ground on the manifold. The wire then was rubbing across a rough spot on the manifold, became bare and must have gotten full of road salt and water. Corroded real bad inside.

It is all good though!

And I will say this, wit the stock ECM back on the truck, it is no fun anymore:nonod:

I am gonna have to put my Wester's back in, get some umph! :thumbsup:

I wonder if that is my problem although I have codes.

You'd get a real good view of all that stuff when you yank the intakes off to fix that flt mgr leak... Real good view OPS too

Good idea to yank the intakes to remove the EGR anyway, which could also cause some problems. Either fix this one up or find the 6.5 that youre willing to invest some time and money into.

I fixed the fuel leak without pulling the intake. It's in the other thread. It wasnt the problem.
