got it, few problems

From : montanajeeper

Q: 1 when cold the truck wont go. it will start out and once you start to gain speed its like it stops responding to throttle. it will maintain about 25-30mph or so and wont go beyond that no matter how far you push the pedal. switching the truck off and cranking again seems to solve the problem but i want to fix this. is this a common or known issue sounds like it could be an apps problem. on older mechanical trucks the throttle cable ran right to the injector pump. on the 24v engines it goes to a fancy potentiometer that just tells the ecm where you put the throttle pedal. this is located on the front of the engine drivers side underneath a plastic cover. youll see the throttle and cruise control cables running into the back of this. take the cover off and inspect the assembly and electrical connection. these can get corroded from water spraying up from underneath and cause erratic readings. 2 rattles....something under the dash rattles/squeeks at low speed. i havent been able to narrow it down yet anyone have anything similar yeah... probably something loose sorry... could be anything 3 there is some type of security card that must be plugged in for the truck to run. any way to remove this system sounds like either an aftermarket alarm system or maybe the chrysler evs-ii which is just a chrysler-branded aftermarket alarm system ... sure it can be removed - but you have to know which wires to cut/connectors to unplug. im also wondering if the 01 cummins also had the 100000 mile warranty like my 04.5 if so i want to get it in the shop before the warranty expires. yep... 5 year 100000 mile warranty. that would cover your no power when first started problem... let them mess with it. .

lol no more childish than you are for posting it in the first place. its not childish to post a warning about a potentially dangerous source of incorrect information its a public service. lol with all of the incorrect things that you are comming out with you should keep it at the top of all of yur posts as a disclaimer. its funny how you get corrected about 100 times more often than i do. if i were as incorrect as you think the numbers would be reversed but theyre not troll-boy because you are a total mechanical idiot. it is not the number of times but the accuracy that counts. take this thread for example you have you who takes the opposit side no matter what it is right or wrong and in this case you are wrong. then you have jerry who doesnt have a clue about any of it and compares his diesel work truck to a record holding super truck as to the reaction of a boost increase yet more bs. then you can add roy who jumped in to protect the public from well nothing at all. yea a lot of valid correction going on here budd. as from the numbers being reversed not hardly. many are your friends or just like me less than you at the time and everybody in here knows your reaction to being told that you are wrong which is ten times worse than anything that i would do. fell free to keep calling me names christian boy i as well as the lord know that its just your insecurity pouring through and we forgive you. how can i be wrong when i given evidence you are the one that is wrong lol when did you do that every time i ask you to back it up you either spin or call me names. hell even when i ask

tbone wrote you keep saying this miles but you have yet to ever create this list. quit with the complete bs tbone. you and i have discussed many things over the months to which you disagree 100%. i went on to mention items i agreed with kerry on yet your 100% political bias continued. and now you make this bonehead statement. what that indicates is that you have a 100% memory failure. the reason is probably because you are profiting off of the misery of others and dont want to make that known. another blanket politically motivated trolling deragatory baseless statement from the bonehead. is that your best factless attack you can do iirc your company works in the it industry probably in software. wow two statements about me which you have no knowledge and so you guess. my company is not a software company although we do produce some specialized as a minor product. how come you never say what your business is i dont want the name of your company so it is not a privacy issue just what you do. i work in the force and torque transducer business. it encompasses many industries of all areas. you use them almost daily without knowing it. now does it really matter to you i could care less what you do. well i have to go watch bush lose another debate talk to ya later. considering there is no set standard for which to score a debate its a matter of political bias that determines who wins. well in your case its whatever the experts on the media tell you. .

tbone wrote tbone wrote gee i wonder why traction would be an issue with such a mild motor - did you use their irs and is so is it worth the money i did. its half ffr and half t-bird. it went together really well. very easy to align. i cant tell you how it performas yet but all reports have been good. it really isnt that much more money compared to a rebuilt solid axle with disc brakes. cool but that kinda kills the single donor car idea. since i will not be ordering mine for another year i hope you will get yours out of paint by then and can let me know what you think of the irs. did you do any of the body work yourself or did you leave it all up to the paint shop. did you cut out the holes in the body or did you have ffr do it the car is a single donor until you start adding options. they are all like that. with the new miii kit you can use a cobra as a donor and it has the irs so its back to a single donor again. i didnt go the donor route. there just isnt much on my car thats stock mustang. i wanted something above and beyond the basic kit. i think the pedal box and the lower front a-arms are the only original ford parts on the car. every thing else is aftermarket or modified. and i didnt feel like messing around with dismanteling the donor. i paid a little extra for the body cut outs and im having a shop do all the body work. i tried to do a little bit of it on my last kit car and i just screwed it all up. i just dont have the skills or the patience for that. -- ..bob 1997 hd fxdwg - turbocharged! 2001 dodge dakota qc 5.9/4x4/3.92 1983 gmc jimmy - mountain beater 1966 mustang coupe - daily driver 1966 ffr cobra - ongoing project .

on thu 7 oct 2004 john kunkel wrote the engine speed is not connected with the oil consumption. if your engine consumed or lost 4 quarts of oil in 800 miles you either have a whipped engine or a large leak. disagree many vans had ridiculously low axle ratios and the absence of od would have the motor running at 3500+ rpms at freeway speeds. a tired motor will suck more oil at 3500 than it will at 1800. ...and a non-tired engine will use no more oil at 3500 than at 1800. blanket statements like the engine speed is not connected with the oil consumption. invite disagreement. if the engine consumes a certain quantity of oil on each full combustion cycle the consumption will increase with engine speed simply because there are more cycles per minute. .

craig christian wrote i am not a geologist but there is oil in other places other than one of the most beautiful places on earth ... alaska. drilling there is a mistake environmentally. alaska is a huge state. its geology varies widely from one part to another. every part of our entire country is beautiful in one way or another so that argument is meaningless. most of the area in question in alaska is barren treeless. is it beautiful sure it is just like the barren deserts of arizona. beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. but the argument is weak. the democrats wont allow drilling anywhere in the usa. they try to stop every existing well and prevent any new ones no matter where it is alaska or elsewhere. .

i listened with interest to the debate on letting the drugs come in from canada. i am quite positive that the us drug companies are behind the delay or stopping this action. but if the ban stayed in effect and these companies could be convinced to reduces they prices somewhat and supply a quality product - it would keep the income taxable and jobs in the us. i believe we can be a profiable country keep the jobs here and keep the revenue here. and saves the medicare program which i work with on a daily basis money! -- dudlee brennfoerder edgar ne 68935 here is something to think about. when i lived in southern ca we used to go into mexico a few times a year. when my first wife was stationed at larrys base there in sierra vista az i went across the border a few times too into a small town called nogales. the main things i would find myself spending money on were gas smokes and the sometimes tylenol. a package of marlboros with made in usa and richmond va on the pack cost about 50 cents...this was a few years back when the costin ca was about 1.80 a pack..before the ca $1 per pack tax went on them. a bottle of tylenol 50 count was about 30 cents. granted the dollar has much more pull in mexico but still made in usa hencho en usa was on the bottle. the problem the smokes tasted like cow shit and smelled like it too and it took 4 to 5 caps of the same tylenol to kill a general headache that one or two would here. the fuel....i dont know since i only bought from places that were larger and not the mom and pops style places that abound there. r12 freon could be had for under $10 a 30lb jug...altho it was and is illegal to bring it backjust as its illegal to bring back cartons of cigs from over there. canadian drugs i dont know about other than a few reports that have been on the standard media outlets...dateline and such. they claim what i already suspected..the quality of those drugs are not the same. granted being that the media controls to a degree what we think and see its possible that the drug companies have paid off or suggested strongly that such reports go out and be the norm however i have yet to see much in the way of quality from across the borders on the same items we use and take for granted. even the r12 i talk about above....when you read the quality report on the jug the min moisture content was above that of the us products..and that is something that you dont want in your ac system. personally...all that above pales when you consider this...thanks to a democratic presidents decision semi tractor trailers from mexico can cross the border unfettered. they can crosss over without the same checks and such that the us vehicles have to have. who really gives a damn about a bottle of tylenol when you could have a semi bringing over something that a tylenol wont fix .
