    Exhaust brake issues

    Thanks! I appreciate it! I wonder which ambient temperature sensor they are using? I'm showing 3 PID. I will check those to see if they are reporting as expected. Coolant temp is reporting accurately. Exhaust pressure is reporting but as I stated before, it doesn't go to zero. Lowest it goes to...

    Exhaust brake issues

    Yes, I know that parameter is part of it. It's on my list to clean. Mine doesn't go to zero with the engine off. I'm not sure if that's normal or a problem. The sensor could be bad if it's supposed to go to zero. Can some of you please verify if your exhaust pressure sensor goes to zero with...

    Exhaust brake issues

    50's this morning, no warm-up from the exhaust brake. No change in command/position of the turbo actuator with the switch. No change in the exhaust pressure with the switch. No exhaust brake sound. Seems there is something preventing the exhaust brake for warm-up. Unfortunately I don't know what...

    Exhaust brake issues

    Yes I replaced the CCV filter twice now. No, haven't clean the EGR circuit. There is no schedule maintenance on those items on the later trucks. I saw your post on the grid heater hardware.

    Exhaust brake issues

    The exhaust pressure sensor? That's on my list to clean. The sensor, the ports and the connecting tube. It varies in readings. Doesn't go to zero with engine off and key on as I mentioned. But I do know that sensor readout is use by the PCM to control exhaust brake function. I've read they can...

    Exhaust brake issues

    But the exhaust brake at warmup is at idle. That's why I say it's confusing that 93% closed can and can not be braking, including at idle. But I will try to catch it working at warmup to see what it goes to at idle. Maybe 100% vs 93%. BP sensor? You mean MAP?

    Exhaust brake issues

    That's what I figured. They just haven't removed the icons for the manuals that just loop you in circles. But when I get a chance I will pay the 3 day subscription and download it. That's how I had to get the manual for my 2014 VW I had. VM has a tech site like that. Yeah if I need an...

    Exhaust brake issues

    It's been a few years since I had any software updates. But that wouldn't explain intermittent issues with it in warm-up. Like ranging from not working or partial or long delay. Even had it "stick" on with throttle open. Thanks, Earl

    Exhaust brake issues

    I agree unless the actuator is only have an issue in the close direction. Trying to find out what all controls the exhaust brake. I know the exhaust pressure sensor plays a roll. It changes so I don't believe it's plugged up unless it's intermittently plugging up. I do plan to pull the sensor...

    Exhaust brake issues

    I've had the truck since new. I know how the exhaust brake is supposed to work. Lol It will heat the engine to a about 160F coolant temp and kick off. So if the coolant temp is under 160F it will come on for warmup. I always use high idle and exhaust brake to heat the engine up to about 80F...

    Exhaust brake issues

    Total hours on the truck engine is 2647. 101,275 miles. No noticable boost issues. I see up to 32 psi. Which my understanding is that is normal for a stock engine. That's the plan once I confirm that $985.00 actuator is that I actually need. Thanks, Earl

    Exhaust brake issues

    It's on my list to thoroughly clean the coils. I have commercial coil cleaner at work I can use. Thought about a water pump and thermostat too but they seem to be ok. Unless the thermostat isn't opening fully and fine until under towing load. I've had that happen on previous vehicles. As well as...

    Exhaust brake issues

    Hello all, 2018 Ram 3500 SRW aisin transmission 4wd. 102k miles. No codes. All factory stock. No prior issues or codes. Not a single part has be replaced other than general maintenance. I run in tow/haul and full-on exhaust brake all the time since it was new. So, if anything, its worn vs soot...

    Intermittent Roaring 2018 2500

    My 2018 didn't make noise but I would get 4wd shifting in process randomly. Turns out it was a bad transfer case switch making the system think I was shifting it in and out of 4wd. Dealer said it was a common issue and the switch was on backorder for a while. Mine is manual shift 4wd. I agree...

    What's this wire/conector for?

    Optional led floor lighting? At least that's what it reminds me of. Earl

    Yep, I grew tired of the bs on her last couple threads and spoke out. Pretty sure I mentioned that. If I didn't or didn't make it clear enough, I spoke out on the bs. Call me what you wish. You're in the same boat as you didn't scroll on either. But I stood up for someone when you're just...

    Some of the ppl on here are that way. He's decent most of the times but can be a real ass at times. Some always need to give their opinion. Some don't have the ability to keep on scrolling, so they stop and post and usually no benefit to the OP. You started a thread on floor mats. I came in...
