I have had enough problems with this truck I am thinking about getting rid of it. For the trailer I have I would be better off with a long bed, possibly dually. Then the extra money for the turbo upgrade may be good money after bad. However I have beefed up the trans and have the air bags and...

Well I did take the truck to be dynoed. When I was driving it over it felt much the same as when I took it in to the shop. Without the PMT loaded it ended up with 260 HP at the wheels. I was quite surprised. When the PMT was loaded on tow mode, it was over 300. The extreme setting was about...

It is an aftermarket inline fuel pump and the shop that put it in said it should be around 18psi. I am installing a fuel pressure gage. I have had the transmission rebuilt and beefed up but I had similar symptoms when I bought the truck. I tried the BD 5 hour trial and the truck was fine for the...

Not to flog a dead house but just to update the forum. I Got the truck out of the shop and I now know what is NOT causing the power loss. Fuel pressure 10 psi (should be around 18psi??) Injector leak down test #1/38 #2/42 #3/46 #4/40 #5/42 #6/44 ml/min Noticed higher than average...

The fuel seems to be the problem. With the PMT I am told that there should be smoke on the higher settings but there is none. With the setting on tow I do get an increase in power from the stock mode, however the performance and extreme modes do not give any additional power. In my test I time...

I found out that it is the 250HP version. When I travelled across Canada last year I had gobs of power without the PMT chip. To test the gas mileage at various speeds I even ran the truck at 90MPH for a full tank (6MPG) with the 14,000 lb trailer. When I picked up the trailer from storage this...

Thanks for the replies. The turbo/wastegate came back within spec. I am replacing the fuel filter and looking into adjusting the valves. Will keep you posted. I will ask about capping the fuel rail. Thanks Richard

I have a good one for you experts on the forum. Sorry for the long post but I figure the more information you have to go by, the better. 2003 Ram 3500, 5. 9 CTD, 47RE trans, 148,000 km (90,000 miles). When I bought the truck Apr 2006 it had trouble maintaining 100kph (60 mph) on level...
