accelrator position sensor

[LMcCary]

My early 2003 needs a new APPS which is mounted on the engine. Does anyone know the part number or if the 2002 APPS will work? The dealer wants 269. 00 dollars for a new part. Says that the sensor is not replacable by itself.

Thanks

If you can get a cummins part # for it the cummins part will be cheaper.

LMcCary,



According to the Dodge parts manuals, if your 2003 MY truck with a manual transmission was manufactured before 1-1-03, then it shares the same APPS as the 2002 model year and prior. If it was manufactured on or after 1-1-03, it uses a different APPS.



Here are the Dodge part numbers:



53031576AC prior to 1-1-03

53032456AD on or after 1-1-03



Interestingly, according to Mopar Parts America, the later model APPS is cheaper than the earlier.



Regards,



John L.

I used a "Timbo" APPS on my early 03 (build date 10/02) and it worked just fine. Would highly recommend this unit.

Thanks for the help. Just order an 2002 from Jeno's. Autozone shows it to be the same part number for 2002 and 2003.

Thanks

I doubt this is it, but if your accellerator cable linkage is not allowing the throttle to return all the way, you'll get the APPS error and your truck will go into "limp home mode". I ran my '03 motor through some deep ice and mud (yeah sounds redneck) but the truck went into 1000 rpm limp mode, and wuldn't respond. Popped hood and removed lots of ice mud and crud, did a restart and it was fine. If the cable doesn't allow proper movement and it's not in the normal resting position, it'll toss the code and go into limp home mode. The hole was about 3' deep, the motor in an H1, and the run was about 75' of crud. Again, probably not your problem, but worth looking into. I'd clear the code with a scanner, check the throttle body and see if it comes back (if you haven't).



Oh yeah, I have an '06 - I baby it.

DRIVING THROUGH MUD ISNT REDNECK, THAT IS AWESOME. :-laf
