So I have been having a battery drain issue from what I can tell is directly related to fuse 35 (ABS Control) that is supposed to be key on only power. Based on other posts, thought this could be the TIPM so I replaced that and no change, is there a key based relay or switch that is stuck that...

Folks, curious if anyone knows the old part number for the in-tank pickup and sending unit? My in-tank lift pump had died after the conversion, it's the Airtex E7187M 2004.5, I installed A FAAS 150 and the STK-1002 with the new pickup, however I was messing around with something and broke the...

I think anyone that is on commission like most mechanics and service writers is truly at risk for wanting to overcharge and stick you for work that is not needed, most people would be shocked that 99% of the people on the other end of the line say "sure, go ahead and take care of it". My...

So real nice representation of a solid clutch fail, have seen a few but nothing like this. The spring ejected from disc and wedged between the pressure plate not allowing the clutch to disengage, so needless to say I drove home about 180 miles without a clutch, in light traffic. By the time I...

Thanks Dave, that was my suspicion, this truck has been a joy of issue after issue and I currently have a soft p0480 that won't clear, was apparent this weekend when I was towing my 37' fifth wheel up a grade. On to replacing the fan clutch after I deal with the clutch that I blew on the way...

Truck (purchased used) has some frayed wires on the drivers side of the radiator connecting to the fan clutch, however there appears to be a connector at this point as well where the splice was done. Question is, does the fan clutch connect at the drivers side of the radiator then use a...

LOL Paychk. It was me, as Bob pointed out below, I had access to the procedure off the 2006 service manual. I'm pretty good with a meter and fixing electrical shorts/issues (my garage queen is a 71 Corvette) so lots of practice on that one. Dissapointed I couldn't find the splice as it's tucked...

For future reference Fuse 42 comes out of the TIP via C3 pin 1 and feeds pins 20, 30 and 40 on C2 of the ECM.

White smoke low power (**RESOLVED**) Just wanted to reply with the resolution, I had a break in splice s140, I was getting power out of C5 pin 26 but no power at connector c130. I spliced in a new wire and ran it past the splice between S140 and C130. All is resolved, codes reset and cleared...

Although the scanner reports no codes or pending codes, when I do the key trick I'm getting P0243 WASTEGATE PRESSURE CONTROL PWM, which I cleared and it has not come back, but for two days now the scanner shows no codes but the check engine lite is still on. Guess I will know better when I get...

No, I used the FASS STK http://www.fassride.com/products/accessories/suction-tube-kits/12-suction-tube-kit.php

Was on the freeway cruising around 60, downshifted to 5th to pass a truck and there was really no power. Got off at next exit, truck idled ok, 1st to 2nd OK, then no power, felt like truck was not getting fuel. Made it up to my house threw it in reverse to back it into the driveway and it died...

No gauges, I have a Boost, RP and FP on order from Geno's. I used the STK from FASS with the suction and return. I haven't removed the filter, I really didn't think that could cause any issue as it's pre turbo and I'm not getting any codes from the sensor.

Folks, truck ran fine up until a few weeks ago. Lift pump in my 04. 5 had been converted to the in-tank setup and died, no fuel in the filter. Installed a FASS platinum 150gph, cleaned out tank, installed FASS Suction tube kit. Truck started and seemed to run OK, I had an AFE stage 2 that I had...
