Random question: How many miles on the engine and when was the last valve adjustment? I noticed with high mileage on my truck that I had a few cylinders at numbers like that, and found the valves were out of adjustment. After adjustment they were much closer. The ECM can only look at the...

I just noticed this double posted. Mods, please combine or delete one.

The ECM has 2 pins. Connector B Pin 39 for Exhaust Brake "request" (you run it to a switch and then ground). Pin 42 for solenoid control activation (ground control). The actual commanding of the EB is all controlled by the Cummins ECM. I have PACBrake Air solenoid controlled EB for reference.

I have been looking through the FSM, forums and general internet search's and I have not found a clear answer to what the logic behind the exhaust brake (EB) control is for the 2006 5.9 Cummins ECM. I have found (and from my experience) that is will run the EB to aid warm up (under 900 rpm, 170...

What was the outcome from this? Did you end up replacing anything or having the issue again?

Since it has been awhile, what was the solution or outcome from this? I may be having a similar issue.

Also physically feel the crossover cable. It should be slightly flexible. It is it stiff, the cable has corrosion within the jacketing. Unfortunately common. If you have a corrosion present it will effect the charging system, as the generator is connected to the passenger side (aux)...

Can you define "blew"? Did it scatter, lose pressure, lock up? Did you clean out your intercooler?

It sounds like you are on the right path, but please always have both batteries connected as the generator (alternator) is connected to the aux (passenger side) battery and it then charges both batteries (and supplies system power when running) through the crossover cable. I have also seen...

Also looking through Prodemand (ShopKey) U0141 is an error code for any of the CAN B devices losing communication with the TIPM for approximately two to five seconds. A long way to test it would be to disconnect each device until you no longer have the issue. When you installed the aftermarket...

After reading this (and some how missing it for the last few months) why the dual alternators, and are they isolated from the ECM? I only ask since the the OEM alternator does have a ecm controlled voltage regulator. And I have heard of one truck that had random CAN issues (mostly lighting...

They use a screw drive. I would think electrical if it works in one direction. Check the switch voltage output. If not Geno's has parts ;) https://www.genosgarage.com/category/seat-components

I setup a Racor R90s water filter/separator (2 micron) just outside tank (under bed) and kept the oem filter as a safety catch filter. Micron Rating: 98% @ 4 Micron μm https://ph.parker.com/us/en/racor-replacement-filter-element-spin-on/r90s
