Q: take toms advice over the professional service technicians. about the only professional service technician around here that id believe without question would be mike simmons. i can name at least two professional service technicians who after a lengthy argument finally agreed that i a lowly yardbird might actually know something. well at least one of them did. the other not so much. youre not giving marsh a fair shake max! hes a professional trainer for daimler chrysler and is involved at a very high level particullary in the transmission sector. heres marsh in a chrysler transmission training film http//www.youtube.com/watchv=pbvy5tebzlg theres info on the history of marshs turbo encabulator here http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/retro-encabulator ;^ bryan now that youve met the dealership service training department allow me to introduce the sales department http//www.youtube.com/watchv=r0frotfmwtm .

this circuit in the junction block 6 8 and 10. all fuses are fed from the same source according to the sm diagram. okay - one last thing.... did you pull each fuse in succession to figure out where the feed to #16 is coming from .

azwiley1 wrote i do think that having a test is a good thing but first what happen to the old fashion mid terms and finals i thought that was what they were for but to teach only what is known to be on the test is pure horse shit. the standardized tests were designed to solve a known problem in our schools. there was little to go on to tell if a school school system county etc. was actually teaching kids anything. difficult to tell which schools were educating better than others and what methods worked or didnt work. mid terms and finals are only as good as the teacher is. any teacher can give all as or all fs depending on how difficult they make their tests and how they set the curve. so i can see what the standardized tests are trying to do. judge the teachers schools etc. on whether they are teaching or not. however the method they came up with wont work. as stated the schools simply start teaching how to pass the test and little else. we need to come up with some method of finding which schools and teachers are doing a better job and why so we can apply what works to other schools and get rid of lousy teachers and lousy methods. there is. when i was in school i took the california achi

maybe its our behavior. she told them no its not even your behavior. and so they came and went the first period second period third period. still no desks in the classroom. by early afternoon television crews had started gathering in ms. cothrens classroom to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room. the final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the deskless classroom martha cothren said throughout the day no one has been able to tell me just what he/she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom. now i am going to tell you. at this point martha cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it. twenty-seven 27 u.s . veterans all in uniforms walked into that classroom each one carrying a school desk. the vets began placing the school desks in rows and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall. by the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand perhaps for the first time in their lives just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned. martha said you didnt earn the right to sit at these desks. these heros did it for you. they placed the desks here for you. now its up to you to sit in them. it is your responsibility to learn to be good students to be good citizens. they paid the price so that you could have the freedom to get an education. dont ever forget it. -- chris . 222 337520 lizmi.506229$115.56040@fe10.phx geekboy wrote there is. when i was in school i took the california achievement test which was suppose to give an idea on what level a student is according to grade level. that is the standardized type of tests that is becoming a widespread problem. we have a similar test here in az. the problem is that the teachers are now structuring their lesson plans around passing the test and little else. .

thanks for your suggestions tom. im assuming the top of the fuseholders are the feed side ... could be that the feed is actually bottom terminal of the fuseholders. going to follow up tomorrow. fred another thing to help narrow things down... youve identified the circuit thats getting back-fed - acc-31 from fuse 16. now you need to identify which circuit is doing the back-feeding. pull fuse 16 and fuse 12. then check for continuity between the load terminals of each fuse meaning the terminal that feeds the circuit - not the terminal that gets +12v from the battery. if you get continuity and i suspect that you will you need to trace the wiring out the the sbcm and look closely at both the dark blue and the pink wires. also check joint connector #5 which is on the drivers side of the knee blocker panel opening inside the dash. if you disconnect this connector and repeat the continuity test above you can isolate whether the short is between the junction block and the joint connector or by checking the pink and dark blue wires on the connector if the short is downstream towards the sbcm. good luck .

hi tom ! with the sbcm unplugged the top of fuseholder 16 fuse removed is 13.6v positive to ground ...the bottom of the fuseholder is 0.0v fuse removed the top of fuseholder 15 is 0.0v to ground fuse removed and the bottom of the fuseholder is at 0.0v. same readings for all other fuses commoned on this circuit in the junction block 6 8 and 10. all fuses are fed from the same source according to the sm diagram. the kicker here is that if the top of fuse holder 16 is live with the ignition key off ... they should all be live ... but they arent. if there is a short ... it is has to be in the junction block itself ....sm says in this case that you have to change out the junction block. fred checked for voltage again at fuse 16 with the ignition off. voltage still present at this fuse with the ignition key off. fuse 15 that has a common feed according to the service manual is fine... no voltage present. looks like it is a junction block problem. i notice the service manual states that if this occurs the entire junction block has to be replaced ! ! so let me get this straight... even with the sbcm unplugged ignition off you get voltage through fuse 16. are you saying that even with fuse 16 installed you read 0 voltage on fuse 15 or are you saying that with fuse 16 removed then fuse 15 shows 0 volts as it should if its the latter id strongly suspect a short in the wiring out to the sbcm before id suspect a bad junction block. anyone ever changed out the junction block on a 99 sport quad ctd not exactly but ive done work behind the dash. its actually not all that bad... remove the 5 screws up on the top of the dash at the base of the windshield. remove the steering wheel knee blocker panel and remove the steering column support. rest the column on the seat and loosen but do not remove the two big hex bolts on either side of the dash under the side kick panels that hold the dash frame to the body. allow the dash to roll forward resting on the seat. you can then reach from the drivers side over the dash and disconnect all the connectors from the junction block and remove it. of course disconnect the battery/batteries first and let the truck sit for several minutes to let the capacitators in the airbag module bleed off. i still vote for short in wiring myself but thats just a percentage call... .

geekboy wrote actually it was not. it was not required to be passed to the next grade. hence teachers did not teach the test. it was also used as a placement for struggling students. yes the teachers do teach for the test. same as in arizona. only senior high school students must pass the test in az. for all others the test results end up grading particular schools and teachers. schools end up getting their own report card. .

we are talking about an oil filter here not a fuel filter. the lower viscosity sulphur fuel does cause some lubrication issues and i would think that cummins is attempting to combat this by increasing the flow of oil and saw a possible problem with the size of the oil filter inlet. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving they probably had some minor oil flow issues with the initial 6.7s and the newer ultra low sulpher fuel and increased the size of the fittings on the oil filter to increase it. looking at the difference between usual and less sulphur i notice that the less sulphur product has less viscosity so i do not see a flow problem. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving hello all i purchased a 07 3500 4x4 ram with the 6.7 cummins last june. i went to cummins and bought a oil filter for it and it was the wrong one. when i took it back they said there are two different 6.7 engines for 2007 the first which i have was used until july first. the second is for use after july. cummins told me the difference was the epa set up for emissions. the two oil filters are the same size but the inlet on the oil fliter for the july and after model is little bigger. so when i tried to install it ot slipped right over the threads. so when they gave me the second filter it worked just fine. which is the same one used on the 5.9 model. i am just wondering why the oil filter for the new motor would be different. how is that relativenet to the epa setup for emissions on the newest motor. mine clearly saids 6.7 on the top of the motor. thank you all for your information. best regards dan .

=a0oh and add to the fact that all students are required to take spanish class so they can learn to speak a foriegn language to be able to communicate in the usa! all were s ariz organized as we/they should be we would be a bicultural and with it bilingual part of this country. our problems with the mexican border would have evaporated long ago. but our narrow and probably biggoted political system seems to thrive on being narrow minded when the good of the country is up for grabs as it is every 4 years. but amazingly we have the worst system on the face of the earth and sadly it is the best there is. mexico is our neighbor across a narrow street called the border with nothing in between. we are so different it is pitiful. were we to share our common things and seek to live with the differences life would be simpler. things will go on as they have for a long while. probably long after i am gone. now for the flames!! bob az .

kyhighlandnospam@roadrunner.com says... my ram 91 model flips between the defog and the dash vents when you start up a hill. it dont have to be much of an incline either just 2 or 3 percent just enough to put a little load on the engine. ive had it to the part changers over at the dealership and after $300 it is still doing the same thing. now they want to put a $400 part on it a gas canister. with it only doing it on an uphill slope it seems to me it would be a vacuum thing. anyone have any ideas ky get yourself a couple of rolls of vac hose and start changing them out. youre sure to find cracked hoses in a 16 year old truck. the cruise diaphragm is a good bet too. bdk .

this doesnt sound like a way to be removed from the yardbird advice watch list. keep it up old boy. didnt disconnect the ctm ... when i removed the fuse for the seat belt module killed the back feed to the wipers and radio as these are fed from a common circuit acc 31. okay - you should do that and check the radio with it disconnected. you want to make sure its really a fault inside the ctm and not a wiring problem or even some other component thats back-feeding the accessory circuit. if you disconnect the wiring from the ctm and the radios still energized well - its obviously not a problem within the ctm itself. after that id try the radio disconnect it re-connect the ctm and see if the wipers work with the ignition off. is the ctm feed from the acc 31 circuit as well yes . its got a couple of different power feeds into it... one is an always-on feed from the battery the other is the acc31 circuit from fuse #6. .

tbone wrote thanks tbone. some good info is there non-magnum gas 5.9 also or ar all the 5.9 motors after 199 or so either magnum or diesel z88z wrote do not confuse the 5.9 diesel with th 5.9 gas engine they are two very different animals. the 5.9 diese is the cummins engine and it has nothing in common with the dc 36 magnum gas engine. i doubt that they would make the a engine onc the magnum engine cam out tbone wrote got ya! just read up on the cummins motor toda and found out its a v6! i assume it does not have the same bol pattern as the v8s from wikipedia the la family wa rebranded as the magnum v6 and v8 in the 1990s. so after about 1994 there was only the 5.2 magnu and the 5.9 magnum and no stock vs hp motors im used to the old days when there were stoc motors and high performance versions and the hp versions wer designated as magnums going back even further they were given th commando designation! i believe the 6cyl and 8cyls have the sam bellhousing to block bolt pattern. is the diesel 5.9 the same too z88z wrote the 5.2 and the 5.9 gas engine have the sam bolt pattern tbone wrote same pattern as the 3.9 v6 too right is that b bolt pattern the same as the i6 i believe the ax15 was used on the i6 in jeeps. wa it ever used on the 3.9 v6 so im finally figuring out the nv4500 was th only manual transmission available behind any kind of 5.9 and tha was a diesel 5.9 z88z wrote that would be incorrect. the nv4500 sat behin the 5.9 gas engine as well tbone wrote anyone know if a 5.9 to nv4500 bellhousing woul fit an nv3550 z88z wrote nope. the nv4500 has a removable bellhousing whil the nv3500 is a on piece unit tbone wrote highimpact shows an ax15 bellhousing for adapting a nv3550 to the 5.2 & 5.9 z88z wrote if you get the dodge version it already fits both motors tbone wrote great! so there is a 5.9/5spd removeable bellhousing actually the transmission i mentioned in that sentence asking i the nv4500 bell housing would fit was the nv3550 not the nv3500 the nv3550 does have a removeable bellhousing so that still leaves me wondering if the nv4500 bellhousing fit the nv3550 so heres what ive got so far nv3500 fits the 5.9 but might not be able to handle the torque nv4500 fits the 5.9 but the 1st gear is too low for stree applications nv3550 sounds like the best option but would need the bellhousin from an ax15 to fit the 5.9. just saying it seems odd that the nv3500 is made for the 5. but might not handle the 5.9 whereas the nv3550 is made for wrangler i6 motor but can handle the 5.9 then again maybe the high impact nv3550 is built with stronge internals and an interesting quote about using the nv3500 fro notchlx a bionicdodge i ran at 320rwhp and 375rwtq for over 10000miles and bolted o slicks once a week for a year with 3000rpm clutch drops and neve had a single problem out o mine..... ive heard of people blowing out their 5spd wit littl to no mods...... plenty of people are running modded 318 287 360 and 408 engines in front of these units with good results z88z wrote it sounds like this person was using it in a car which doe put a little less strain on the transmission. from his post sig im pretty sure hes talking about his dakota.either way 320rwhp is nothing to sneeze at. if people are spendingthe money on a 408 most likely its putting out some good poniestoo.maybe the nv3500 would stand up to the strain. i doubt ill be goingtoo crazy with the horsepower on my zj. it might see a bit ofspirited driving but it certainly wont see street racing or quartermile use.as far as the pcm goes i can use one from a 5.9/5spd ram but it wouldhave to be reflashed with my vin in ma im pretty sure the wholeemissions inspection on obdii vehicles is done by the vin which isread directly from the port.tbone - thanks again all replies are appreciated - john .
