2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission out of my comfort zone (again)

[billyzz]

seems like about once a week i take on something i haven't the foggiest of how it works etc.
but i am successful just often enough to blind me to the fact i have no business doing it
this box went bad on my cummins and i loved what it did. so i am going to look for any obvious loose wires etc. i got nuthin to lose
#ad

i think i found one inside one of those fat connectors. the wires have this black rubber stuff holding the wire ends inside the plug and one of them has a tiny crack and seems loose.
i hosed everything down with a can of QD electronic contact cleaner
now i am trying to figure out how to secure that wire in that plug

the equivalent replacement starts at $650 so i dont think i am gonna be beating on this thing with a hammer anytime soon.
i did contact the manufacturer in the UK via email
i doubt anything will come of it but it is worth a try.

[billyzz]

here is the email i got from vanaaken, Hi William
Many thanks for your message.
Regretfully we did not make the older units and the Company that did no longer exists.
Sorry we can’t help.
Kind regards

i found one for $125 from a guy i met here. i got my fingers crossed that it lasts
i sure do miss the better fuel mileage and that extra 60hp

Any of the tuners that fit that year truck should have those same connectors since they all plug into the same places on the truck. I had a Van Aaken on my 01 and loved it. I will check to see if I still have it when I get home. If so, I will be glad to give it to you and then you can use the connectors off of it. If I don't still have it, I'm sure someone on this board has one laying in their shop that is not longer being used. I think I had a Raptor as well and it was a good unit. I will look.
