I bought a dye kit and UV light for $30 and put the dye in the fuel filter. Ran the truck for 30 seconds then pulled the valve cover. #3 injector was leaking. Replaced that injector and the problem is solved. It’s a cheap and easy thing to do, I suggest starting there.

I wish my truck was that rust free.

The lower hard line which goes from the cooler to the transmission is leaking somewhere from the rubber section of the line. Does anyone make a repair line so I can avoid changing the whole thing? I could cut the hard line off and find a compression fitting that fits the tube. The issue is...

I just got done installing the solenoid and the transducer. I cleared the codes and the P0882 code (along with all the other transmission related codes) stayed off. Before it would come back instantly. I did a short test drive and it shifts through the gears like its supposed to. So whether it...

Thanks for the insight. The test light was one I made using a blinker socket and a tail lamp bulb - so it was drawing approximately 1 amp. Now that I have everything apart, I will backprobe and check the voltage with the solenoid in place. So should I assume the ECM detects X volts as...

Well that's bad news. I just opened up the transmission pan yesterday and plan to reinstall everything today. If it's not the solenoid and I have power at the solenoid connector, what else could it be? How does the ECM actually detect the condition for P0882?

I didn't order one, but I suppose I should. Is this the one you are talking about? https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/dodge,2005,ram+2500+pickup,5.9l+l6+diesel+turbocharged,1431395,transmission-automatic,pressure+control+(epc)+solenoid,17897

I've been there... my ECM died too. I wound up ordering a reman one from flagship one. It took a while for it to arrive, but the truck fired right up. I have a million codes, but those are real as far as I can tell and I'm working on solving them as I restore the truck.

I thought I would document my experience trying to solve the following issue with my 2005 Dodge Ram Cummins with 28RE automatic transmission: Check engine light on, P0882 - Trans 12 volt supply relay control circuit low DTC code. Transmission stuck in 3rd gear (limp mode). Manually shifting...

I have another thread going about this truck making oil (see here). It cranks over just fine and it fires once if you step on the fuel pedal while cranking, but won't start. Some odd things I noticed: The fuel pump relay (#61) under the hood cycles on and off pretty rapidly with the key in...

I found this video: I asked the poster and he replied that this leak filled his crank case in about an hour and a half, which jives with what happened with my brother's truck. Time to pull the valve cover and have a peak...

Hi Cerberusiam, the truck doesn't seem to run rough or start hard, so I'm hoping that its not an injector issue. I think it was smoking because the oil was way overfull from fuel leaking into the crank case. I'm thinking this is a pump issue - it seems like a better fit given the symptoms?

I don't think it was starting hard. Can a bad pump result in that much fuel being leaked into the crankcase? According to some videos I watched, there is an access plug on the timing cover to get to the pump bolt. I wonder if I used UV dye in the fuel if it would show up under that cover...

Hey guys, I need some help diagnosing what's wrong with a 2005 Dodge 2500 Cummins. Something is dumping a massive amount of fuel into the crank case; but I don't know if it could possibly be an injector, fuel pump or internal fuel line or something else entirely. Back story: My 19 year old...
