[charged392]

sometimes they will act ok like that after a reset. until you get cvi #s drive like an old lady.

 

[04sthemi]

I got you. It's pretty much just gonna be doing some sitting for right now

Do you have a power steering pressure sensor? If so you might consider the High Idle Mod or just pulling the plug on it for a while to give the PCM a chance to learn.

Good to hear it started up with the jump like I thought.

yea tyler i was worried it wasnt gonna run. an Greg honestly idk if i do but i remember Stu messing with my truck an he would prob know lol or i can look for it if you tell me.

It's a two wire pressure switch down low off of the power steering pump easiest seen from the bottom driver side.

 

[charged392]

yes there is a pressure sensor on your truck mario

The pcm has to relearn the engine as well as the trans settings. Now you have to drive it around gently for the pcm to relearn. Drive the truck around town for half hour, then let it cool off for two hours. You will have to do this for a few days.

Did you find out why it wouldn't start up Mario?

 

[04sthemi]

I'm assuming it just needed a jump? I'm prob wrong tho cause it started earlier that day just wouldn't idle. It starts now so I'm just gonna go with it

 

[Ghost03hemi]

You need to drive it a little every day for the pcm to make adjustments to the engine and trans settings. It will get better.

To be honest Mario, never really looked at Greg's high idle mod. You could show us again Greg.:thumb::thumb: Please, include pics Greg. :bow:

i have it will be sitting today but im off tomorrow so im gonna take a cruise in the morning

Maybe this will clarify some.

Here is some information about the “03 High Idle Mod”. It will work on any model that has a power steering pump pressure switch. The pressure switch is “normally closed”, when high pressure is sensed the switch opens and the PCM rises the idle to 630-650 rpm warmed up and 800 rpm when cold. If the electrical plug is not connected (two wire) to the pressure switch, the PCM see’s a open condition and rises the idle. This condition is normally seen when conducting Parking Maneuvers at idle and rising the idle keeps the engine from stalling. A test on your vehicle can be done by unplugging the pressure sensor and shorting and opening the connection at the plug. You will see the idle raising and then lowering back to normal (525).
Parts needed for the mod is a RPM Window Switch, Standard Automotive Relay and some wire and connectors to put it together. I used a Granatelli Dual Window switch so I could install one window switch and have it control two functions.

I mounted mine so I could reach it while still seeing the dash making adjusting it easier.
I can pop the cover off and hold it in my hands when making adjustments.

This is a crude drawing but shows the connections.

This is the power panel with relays mounted for various stuff including the High Idle Mod relay.

Hope this helps…

After driving an old 4cyl 5spd ranger the last few weeks(really don't mind to be honest) an then going back to the hemi boy the ram feels so nice. I came home from work tonight an took it for a drive an it just feel so nice inside LOL. Til I get inside tylers hahaha.


Tho i did spin leaving the house. 75lb tq to 320lb tq is quite a difference.

 

[Ramsey88]

Any idea as to what was/is goin on with your trans Mario?

1st and 2nd gears are probably good to go. You can drive around town with the tow/od off.:thumb:

I drive Aprils Saturn most of the time. Then getting into the truck for a little drive is such a treat.:thumb::thumb::thumb: Green at the stop light in the Saturn. Most everyone can pull away from me while under normal acceleration. Different story in the truck. Can keep the truck at 8 to 10" vacuum(no boost) from the green light and easily pull away from everyone. :smitten:

Thanks Greg.:bow:

havent tried wot shifting yet an dont plan to, that was the only problem besides sloppy downshifting after wot to at least 2-3

not holding my breath that its ok ive driven the **** out of this truck in the 3+ yrs ive owned it

 

[04sthemi]

Shouls i just do a stock rebuild or get the upgraded clutches? I know the stock trans is junk. But my driving manners are much better now than when I first bought it knowing what to do an not do
