Bought my first Cummins in January. It's a '99 crew cab, long bed, 4X4. I have not done any performance upgrades to the truck. Since January I have had to do a complete brake job (rotors, pads, shoes, rear brake cylinder, and wheel seal). Needle bearing in transmission broke, shattering transmission, VB, and TC. Had a transmission company in Lebanon, recommended by Suncoast, do a complete rebuild with a Suncoast TC and upgraded VB. Got the truck back from the transmission shop and had to take it to a Chrysler dealer to have ECM updated to correct shifting problems with new equipment. That was the beginning of last month. Yesterday the check engine light came on. Took it to my mechanic and connected it to his computer. Received an error code P0238. The mechanic told me to take it to a Chrysler dealership because he does not have the advanced computer systems the dealership does. But, that it could be either the MAP sensor (which has been real interesting finding, the dealer tried to sell me the wrong part) or the ECM.
I guess, in a round about way, I am asking if there is anything else that I can expect to go wrong with this truck? Am I better off repairing the problem after all that I have done to it? Or should I cut my losses and move on?
Only after I purchased the truck I found out that it had been used to haul a street rod to car shows in the summer, and as a plow truck in the winter. The dealer I purchased it from is more than shady (Car Village - Lebanon, PA).
