Final update. Rewiring the twisted pair did NOT#@$%! solve the problem so I started on the ground connections around the truck. :confused: I removed, checked, recharged and cleaned the batteries and terminals. I fitted new ground cables from the batteries to the PCM, frame, engine and body...

Great, now I know what I am going to be doing tomorrow:) Keep your fingers crossed and many thanks again for your help:D

Once again my thanks David for the explanation and for quickness of you response. With the benefit of your enlightenment, I am now certain that I have a broken wire with one side of the break touching ground. This could explain another problem that has coincidentally arisen; my batteries...

Thanks for the diagrams David, they're a great help as they are the same as my truck. I am not very confident in my ability to understand and diagnose electrical problems so some guidance on what I have done so far would be appreciated. I have exposed the twisted RD/VT and WT/VT wires from...

OK, I unplugged the new rear sensor, started the truck and the speedo did not move and the brake and ABS lights came on. I reconnected the sensor and the speedo still did not move; a definite improvement. I backed out of the garage and set off on a test run. After 1/2 a mile the speedo started...

Damn, another module (CAB) to check out!!!

Thank's, I'll try that. Is it likely that this is an ECM and not a PCM problem? The transmission is an auto.

The speedo on my 2000 Ram behaves erratically as soon as I start the engine. It flickers all over the dial whether the truck is moving or not. I have a Scangauge II permanently connected to my OBD port which also shows erratic speed readouts. I have changed the speed sensor in the back axle...

Many thanks Joe G, much appreciated.

There is no electronic copy of #35 available in the archives!!

Does anybody know where I can get this article?? Issue 35 is not available any longer in print or in the archive.

I decided to remove the pump and fit a spare that a friend loaned me. While trying to disconnect the fuel feed line from my FASS at the pump end the whole pipe fell on the floor. The quick release fitting was stuck in the unlock position so the feed pipe was just held on the tank by friction...

Thanks for all the advice guys, I finally got some time to try out your ides today. Adding another can of coolant fixed the problem. The system was virtually empty so it needed three cans to bring it up to level. :):):)

The gauge is an Isspro mechanical operating through an isolator. It has been thoroughly tested and every component has been checked with another pump. The gauge is not part of the problem.

In the last couple of days I've noticed that my fuel pressure behaviour has changed. When I turn on the ignition the FASS pump runs briefly but the pressure only gets, very slowly, to 5 psi. If I bump the starter the pump runs for about 25 seconds and the pressure reaches, slowly and in lurches...
