Update. Last weekend I purchased and installed another motor. Picked up a complete engine out of another 99 mexican block. Installed the new motor wich replaced my ecu. Started the truck up and my problems disapeared. Thank fully this saga is over. Now I can enjoy my truck.

I had posted resently that I was having the very same problem. However I had the 53 block and was replacing my engine anyways so I let it go. I just replaced the engine and used the ecu that came with the new engine and my problem went away as well. Deffintly seems like faulty ecu is what causes...

Ok i will look at that. On a good note. I got home from work today. Turned the key waited till the it allowed me to start it then cleared the code. Started it drove it around then headed to the smog shop. Went in asked them not to shut it off they said ok. Passed the smog now i can get my...

Yes I did double check and make sure the grid heater wires are attatched to the positive. And yes I did check down at the block to confirm voltage on each telling me the fusible links are good. Like I think I said last night the thing the totally perplexes me is that if i clear the code and not...

Well the wait to start syptom is still there. But at least I have a code now.

I did double check every fuse today in the engine and the dash. Pulled and ohmed each fuse. All fuses ok. All guages work. Truck runs and drives fine. IF i clear the code and just turn the key and start it the MIL stays off the whole time I drive it. If I turn the key and wait then MIL comes on...

Now I get a code P 1694 I cant find what it means. Can anyone throw me a bone here? THanks Jason

Ok so last night I disconected my edge box and left the batterys un hooked all day. When I got home I cleaned the IAT sensor re installed and hooked the batterys back up. Check engine light still immediatly there. So I went and picked up a scan guage 2 tonight from a guy off of CL. Pluged it in...

I have the same problem. 230k 14 inch crack. Got the same quote you did and from what i have read there is no guarente with the lock n stitch methode. I am currently in search of another engine as well. I think 02 down should fit no issues be plug and play but please let me no if this is correct...

Update. Took it to work this afternoon and had our shop mechanic use his scanner. No engine codes but it had a transmission code something along the lines of bus comunication with transmission. Wich makes no sence because there is no issue and never was an issue with the transmission. He cleared the...

Has anyone tried the bluetooth scanners that work via android or apple phones? I havnt found if they work with diesels or not. Thanks Jason

So is it possible that from unhooking the battery I smoked the ecm? How do you go about flashing the ecm? Jason

Thats great to hear. I have to take mine in as well but now after this weekend it will have to wait sence I have Check engine light. Glad to hear it was fast and smooth.

Ya i no that. But like this morning it doesnt come one at all wont start. But if i just let it sit after about 30 sec i hear the pump and the wait to start lights up then goes out and it will start.

Im still trying to figure out how to fill out my signiture. 99 Ram 2500 4x4 5. 9 auto basic edge module I have double checked the wiring i messed with yesterday and everything looks fine. I have power to the grid heater relays but i dont think im ever getting the trigger voltege to the relay to...

Hey I dont no if this is just a cowinsadents or if i did something to make it happen. I drove my truck this morning no problems at all. Got home was working in the garage and had some spare time so i decided to cut back and redo the battery conections that were corroded. So i disconted them cut...

Damn i was affraid that was going to be the responce that i got. I really dont want to have the bad carma of unloading this on someone else. But at the same note i dont exactly have the funds to replace the block at this point either. Guess I have to make a dessesion before my wife kills me. .

Sorry yes my truck does have the 53 block and yes its cracked and yes it is leaking. The engine im looking at is in a truck that was t boned and broke the frame. Engine has 80k on it. Im not looking forward to having to do this. Are there any fixes out there other then the lock n stitch? I tried...
