Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Any one know what I can do to make my truck run like it should? here is the problem, I built back a fire damaged automatic (11/99) early 2000 ctd dually, I had to replace the ecm (engine computer) and found the same part #s computer in a local salvage yard but it came off a std shift truck , I have been driving my truck for the past 9 k miles but someone not used to driving it would have problems, I can drive it but I want it right!
1. when you turn key it will start in any selection of gears! so I put in new netural safty switch too (didnt cure problem) and the check engine light still reads pnp switch failure? no other codes though and I have cleared that code and it comes and goes.
2. I had to take starter relay off and jumper wire the relay because the starter would only click and not turn over? the starter checked out ok and I also replaced the contacts while into it !
3. the lift pump will not operate until I bump starter over and then it runs the 45 sec to minute as normal.
4. I have to kind of crank longer to make it start while holding acc pedal down some to make it start up, the grid heater is working too!
5 . when you first start it up (especially cold weather)you have to keep it reved up some or it sounds like a top fuel dragster with a large camshaft (heavy idle lope)
6. when I drive it down the road everything seems fine and has lots of power but when you come to a fast stop or let off the acc pedel normal like at a stop light or stop sign engine will die! unless you keep foot onto pedal and hold brake at the same time!
7 it has a heavy idle lope like a dragster again in reverse backing up !
8 . truck gets 20. 1 mpg, has great power,and its a 410 ratio 2wd.
9. dealer told me that they could not reprogram the ecm computer and that I would have to get a new computer thats for a auto truck? all the #s on the computer matched? does anyone know what I need to do? any one got a ecm for a early 2k auto truck? hope someone can help?
