CEL came on yesterday and scanned codes P2201 & P2048. P2201 is a regular occurrence and comes and goes on its own. The P2048 is a new one and was accompanied with an EVIC message of 200 miles before limp mode. Some kind of DEF problem. I erased the codes with my scan tool. After 2 days of...

I have a 2014 2500 Tradesman stock with an EVIC screen that’s locked on “Trip A.” I can’t get access to any of the other screens. In addition, the cruise control works only when it feels like it. There’s no CEL illuminated so no codes to give a clue as to what the problem may be. Anyone else...

I’m about to hit the 67,500 mile threshold on my truck and expecting to see the “Perform Service” message on my evic. I purchased the egr kit from Geno’s but won’t be able to perform this maintenance for at least 1 month. Will the truck go into limp mode if I don’t perform this service...

I’m reading through my edition TDR 106 “The Rest of the Story” on the subject of Bosch Fuel Injection Pumps. It states that the CP4-2 used on the 6.7 CGI engine is priced at $6,260. Then the injectors for that engine are $2,465 each. This means that if you were to experience a...

On my 2014, My third brake light on the cab has developed a leak which has water running into to the rear of the cab. The light was full of water when it was removed. Anyone else experiencing the same problem.

I’ve had intermittent problems with the cruise control. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. It cropped up originally under the warranty and the dealer fixed it. I’m out of warranty now and the issue has started again. I mostly drive highway and it’s quite aggravating when the cruise...

Hi. I'm trying to determine if the first 2 digits of the ESN number represent the block designation. My ESN starts with "56". Does this mean I have a 56 block and not a 53 block?

With this truck's engine being so loud, it's unusual to hear any other noises that may be happening. But yesterday I heard noise originating under the truck which at first sounded like a loose exhaust clamp rattling on the exhaust pipe. I shut down the truck and climbed under only to find all...

Over the weekend I changed the fuel filter in my 1998. 5. I have an ISSPRO Mechanical Fuel Pressure Guage plumbed directly from the outlet port on top of the filter housing to the guage with a shutoff valve in between. When changing the fuel filter I shut the valve running to the guage. For this...

I had the truck laid up for the last couple of months. Today I went to use the truck and when I turned the key to start, the heater-AC fan was on even though the switch was in the off position, and it won't shut off. Any suggestions of how to fix this? Jim T. 1998. 5, SLT, Ext Cab, Long...

A couple of months back, I noticed the truck missing/surging between 35 - 50MPH. It threw the code P0216. After talking with a couple of mechanics they said it sounded like the "dead pedal" syndrome and that the VP44 was probably on its way out. In the meantime I started my VP44 replacement fund...

I've recently posted a thread here about a fuel leak I have. Unfortunately it's not the result of a loose fitting but the metal tubes where the fuel lines connect have rusted through. The dealer indicates that whole Fuel Tank Module needs to be replaced to the tune of $475 for the part only...

For the past 6 months I've had a fuel leak from the top of the fuel tank where all the connections go into the tank. It wasn't bad at first, just a few drips, but now it's about a quarter cup per day. I've tried to get a good look at the troubled area but there's barely enough room to get a hand...

Last summer I installed a Fass DDRP into my 98. 5. Until recently fuel pressure with the new LP has been a steady 16 lbs at idle and 10 @WOT. Within the last week I'm noticing fuel pressure readings between 19 and 20 lbs at idle, while WOT and steady driving @2200 rpm have stayed consistent...

I just received the latest Consumer Report Magazine's annual auto and truck reviews. It reports that the reliability of all model diesel pickup trucks, is worst than average. It also indicated that Dodge 03's - 06's were especially bad. We pay the largest amounts of money to buy these vehicles...

For the past week it's been pretty cold here in NH and I've been leaving the truck's block heater plugged in all night. This mechanic I know said I shouldn't leave the heater plugged in all night as I could damage some seals in the engine. He recommended I get a timer so it turns on about 2...

I recently ordered a FASS DDRP to replace the stock lift pump. In anticipation of delivery, I've been spraying the pump mounting hardware with penetraing fluid to hopefully make this easier when the new pump arrives. Today, in trying to get at the nuts I may have screwed up the electrical...

What should the normal operating temperature be running a 98. 5 24v in New England? I don't do any heavy towing and don't routinely carry heavy loads. This time of year, the temp gauge just gets over 140 and during the summer time it may nudge the second line on the temp gauge. In the last week...

While out on the highway over the weekend I turned on the Cruise control and it wouldn't set. Also I noticed that no matter what setting I used for the the heater positions, air would only blow out the defroster. Are these accessories electrically related? Any advice on fixes? Jim Titone 98...

I just installed an ISSPRO mechanical fuel pressure gauge. Now, the truck won't start. First thing I did after I received the kit was to get rid of everything but the gauge. I installed an elbow off the plug nearest to the center nut of the fuel filter assembly with a shut off. Then I ran 1/4"...
