Getting rid of mt BD killer B turbo, looking for a another.

[Bob4x4]

I noticed the difference in its willingness to rev quicker on a completely stock truck

Have you tired unplugging the waste gate fooler and reconnecting it. The fooler should prevent the check engine light.

For low boost?????

Just finished an 07 last week... We used the Phatshaft 62 on it,no codes,also installed ATS manifold,100 hp injectors, Suncoast trans and converter. Awesome spool up! Seems instant! Talk to Cody at II, he will steer you in the right direction.

 

[AH64ID]

100's on a 62 is HUGE, how are the EGT's?

 

[Bob4x4]

The op doesn't want to add fuel from what I see. If he did adding injectors would make his current turbo work fine

 

[HDR]

I think I have talked to Cody at II before and he was very helpful. Much more than BD ever was. Just my 2 cents.

I think I'm going for the 62 at II next month with a exhaust manifold.

Thanks again.

 

[AH64ID]

Doesn't the PS62 require a HX40 downpipe?

 

[TCDiesel]

You can order the PS62 with large flange and keep you stock elbow.

The egts were a lil high at first because we actually did the silver 62 on it with efi live, we added bunch of timing trying to get it to spool lil faster but that turned the smoke up so i pulled my brand newPS62 off my truck and traded them out. Now... we pulled the timing out and changed a few other things and barely smokes in od 35-40 mph where we were puttin out a huge cloud coulnt even c through... Its more of a sport truck occasionally pullin small sled trailer so... . But it will hit 1600 at the top end of a full throttle run...

UPDATE

I broke down and took my truck to a shop that our company uses when I'm too busy( mostly alignment and suspension ). They looked at it and couldn't find anything and recommended a Tech at a Dodge dealership down the street. He went through the same steeps I went through and couldn't find or reproduce any condition to throw the P0299 code. I did have them turn on the high idle feature and calibrate for bigger tires. Then i had a thought when I drove it home. Could having bigger tires without calibrating the ECM for the bigger size throw the code?

Also my truck has been sitting for about a week because my wife and I had our 3rd son. When I did start if U1421 showed up. From what I looked up this might just because of sitting or not. I don't know.

I am know strongly thinking about EFIlive. I've downloaded the tuning software and a Cummins stock tune and have been playing around with it. Seems like a good idea ( LOL, I've said that alot and it not be a good idea).

ANY INPUT is welcome. Thanks again.

Hey HDR, I'm learning along with this thread so have nothing to add - Just wanted to say congrats on your new son!

 

[AH64ID]

You can do all kinds of things to increase spool/boost, or just turn the code off.

EFI or UDC is what I would look at.

 

[HDR]

I know you can disable a code with EFI but can you with UDC?

 

[AH64ID]

You cannot disable the code, but you can tune around it.

From what I understand the code is rpm based, not speed based.

In your other thread you mentioned you changed the MAP sensor, but did you look at the IAT sensor? Both sensors are used for that code.

Did you ever use the Edge to watch the boost the ECM see's vs your analog gauge? If they are different and you have a new MAP sensor then the air filter is plugged, or the IAT sensor is bad.

 

[HDR]

The air filter, IAT, and MAP have been changed and cleaned. The air filter I changed to paper and got rid of the S&B oiled filter just in case. I wonder if the taller tire size, lowering the RPM for any given speed could do it??

 

[Bob4x4]

Btw all u codes are communication. On the road right now so I can't look up that specific code

 

[JamesStevens]

HDR, I have a 07, and I upgraded to EFI Live, best decision ever!! I think it would be alot cheaper then messing with turbos and exhaust manifolds. If you want you can turn up the fuel a bit and use that Killer B to its full potential, or keep the power stock and just optimize for fuel economy. Just my 2c.

 

[HDR]

I think that is what I'm going to do. I would like to find someone experienced with EFI or maybe a book to get started.

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to the Wiring Information.

When Monitored:
While engine is running.

Set Condition:
The boost pressure is lower than the expected boost pressure based on engine operating conditions.


Possible Causes
OTHER DTC'S
INTAKE AIR SYSTEM RESTRICTION
TURBO CHARGER DAMAGED
INTAKE AIR SYSTEM LEAK
BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR
BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR
TURBOCHARGER
INTERMITTENT CONDITION

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Engine Control (ECM) - Standard Procedure)



1. OTHER DTC'S


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, read the Engine DTC's.


Do you have other DTC's?

Yes

Repair other boost related DTC's first.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST (DIESEL). (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Engine Control (ECM) - Standard Procedure)
