Is that a damaged seal Keith?

 

[charged392]

Nope seal looked ok and so did check ball but changed anyway will see Monday morning when I start truck if it's fixed

 

[charged392]

Well it's in and drives nice actually feels like it is shifting a little better than before not sure why didn't change tune or anything even left batt hooked up so no memory loss now to wait till tomm morning and see what it does when put in reverse

at DiabloSport this morning Keith

 

[FASTHEMIRAM05]

a bad check ball could cause a lot of issues

 

[charged392]

Well still at diablo been here since 10:45 turns out the tcm side of the PCM is not working wont accept any tunes at all they even tried an intune and a trinity no luck now they are trying to load the tunes manually into the PCM and then will have to find another PCM or have this one rebuilt to be able to load tunes again

That's great to hear Keith.

Bummer about your PCM.

That sounds exactly like what happened to Nathans PCM.

 

[charged392]

well today was my journey south got the predator issue figured out and its the pcm anyway going to buy a new one real cheap wife works for parts store

but on another not this morning went to gas station on E zero miles left on the DTE counter put in 10 gallons didnt even pay attention to the price and drove all day got home light came on in drive way and this is what i got on 10g no mds here

crusing at 75-80mph most of the time at 2800rpm

 

[Carrolls Ram]

Found your problem, you need washer fluid..

Wish my truck could go 190 miles on 10g. Full tank gets me about 240 miles..

 

[charged392]

Theres a funny story to that washer light if you read back a little I'm holding some belt fragments

where I discinigrated a belt and it ripped the pump out and broke it but the gas mileage is goin to be good for the rally

 

[Carrolls Ram]

Lol I bet that sounded awesome. Probably a similar sound to all of my fuel lines being ripped off.

And how the hell are you getting such good gas mileage? I would love to get at least decent mileage. I used to be able to get high 300s to a tank

 

[charged392]

I'm honestly not sure myself all we did was scale my injectors into the tune (because they are way bigger than stock) that I know of the afr gauge bounces from 14.7-15.4 Cruseing and I was well into E before getting my gas this morning

 

[VA4MEDS]

Keith did DS tell you what happened to your predator the last time?

Think it could have screwed up the TCM section...just thinkin'

 

[charged392]

They had there engineer look at it and said its a security default in the tcm keeping it locked not allowing anything to be changed (bad tcm internals) is what they said they did try an I intune and a trinity neither worked so its the comp even tryed it on bench

I believe the predator messed up causing it but they won't admit that they changed the pci bus I. The predator when I sent it to them and supposedly tested it on my comp which I doubt because ups dropped it there at 3pm and at 345 it was back at ups so I doubt they flashed PCM fixed predator and tested it the same day they sent the PCM back to me I didn't get the predator till a week later but hey they tried now I will get a new one with no core charge and have this one rebuilt for $50 thru my works PCM fixer guy (dont know who we use )and then I will have a spare if it happens again

 

[Ghost03hemi]

Often thought of getting a spare computer.

 

[Redtruck-VA]

When using tuners it is close to impossible to prove anything, but I am convinced my DSP locked my 03 PCM an of course Diablo stated it was impossible. Whatever, I know what happened. I bought a used PCM from PCP and simply plugged it in without any flashing or anything and it works fine. Funny, I went to the dealer and asked the service manager if I needed to flash my vin into the used PCM and he said "I don't know" and then came back and said "yes, you need to flash the PCM with the VIN". I told him he should have stuck with his first response "I don't know". As it is not necessary....

 

[charged392]

met with otnielarencibia tuesday and picked up some fog lights which i have installed with a custom mod to the factory air ducts for the bumper so it doesnt look funny

 

[charged392]

heres factory vent not modded to work

 

[charged392]

heres vent after some little modding

 

[charged392]

this is the trim installed in the truck looks ok for now not like anyone is going to be crawling down there to look at them
