I'll take a couple of my "samples" in to a local store and see if they know what to do with them, good to know I can save about 80% on these components going forward. I appreciate all the help offered and hope this helps someone going forward.

I think you're right about it being a spare, I've kept the original due to replacement not fixing the problem. I've already ordered the shop manual from Geno's. I don't know too much about relays but after having looked at three of them they appear to have similar features, I didn't realize that...

One other note, I didn't replace the solenoid relay previously, that was the fuel pump relay which I incorrectly assumed also controlled the shut-off solenoid, hope this comment helps a future troubleshooter.

Fuel shut-off solenoid relay was the problem! Replaced it and it starts like it should. FWIW the fuel heater relay and the shut-off solenoid are not available separately, about $50 at the local Dodge dealer. I wouldn't have know what part to place without Joe's pic, thanks for the help, hope...

Joe, thanks for the pic, I know exactly where that is. Obviously my Chilton manual isn't up to the task, I'll get the shop manual ordered soonest. I'll pull the relay in question and have it ordered (probably not in stock locally). I've seen the blue fusible link from the postive battery...

The starter relay and fuel relay I replaced are both part located in the PCM along with a few fuses. George, is there another relay external to the PCM located near the firewall? I did remove the rubber boot on the shutoff solenoid as it had fallen apart and cleaned the parts as best I could...

Hi all, any help you can offer here is much appreciated. Truck began having difficulty starting about a month ago. Doesn't seem to matter if its hot/cold, overnight (doesn't get below 60 here this time of year). Replaced the lift pump, fuel lines. Started great for about four days then...

Thanks Kevin, I've read the kit instructions and am considering doing it myself, will probably order the kit soon. I appreciate the tip on Doug at Deisel Power Plus as I'm having a starting problem that needs looking into. Great to know I can count on the members for help! Sorry to take so long...

Hi Kevin, I'm also in the Tulsa area looking for a good shop that can work CTD's. I'm looking to do a kdp fix, any suggestions?
