The pin for the return signal from the TPS

First step is to find a parts truck to do the swap. Depending on the year of suv you need to get the same generation of pickup. This swap was super easy.

Did not lose factory brake. The turbo is a direct bolt up with a pre-calibrated holset actuator already installed.

@@screamindieselltd Interesting! can get mine to work after replacing my turbo with a bd diesel without exhaust actuator in it. But did buy the one that connects to exhaust pipe.

Dunnville Ontario Canada

I’ve never used them. I have suppliers for all my parts I get. But usually if they are cheap there is a reason.

@@screamindieselltd right about the price but we’re number one’s place to get them now everyone says stay away… just was asking if ya heard about them or not but thanks man

No. There’s only 3 wires connected. Power, toggle for the OD solenoid and TCC solenoid

@@screamindieselltd yeah i just figured that out, for some reason only one of my switches work on my shifter, when i’m in drive (3rd) i press and it kinda like launches it harder but by the time i get too 65 my rpm’s are sitting at 2500, and it doesn’t seem like my trans is overheating since my temps are staying normal so i thought maybe my TC only locks up and it’s just not shifting into OD, would you know how to fix that?

That was just a piece I used for the video. The heat shrink was already on.

I was always told cars vibrate to much for soldered wire

This was 8500 roughly. Customer already had the turbo on the truck for the fueling. Prices have probably changed though.

No the pump isn’t that smart lol.

The flashing was just tuning. My scanner would always communicate

I would suggest against doing this when emissions testing is required. But that brings said if it’s good tuning and the a fuel is turned down it should be fine. A vehicle that old would probably just be a snap test.

KC stage 1. Looks mint!

@@screamindieselltd oohhhhh hell yeah I love me the kc products but man a 38r just gives it that 6.0 whistle

Thanks!

9-12 depending on how things look and go in the truck. But this was a couple years ago so prices on parts may have changed.

That was a 95 I believe.

@@screamindieselltd thanks. I had to answer my real question the hard way. I have a '97 and I've seen at least 3 KZbins saying I have to peel away the liner in the front left wheel well where it's deeply hidden. Well, after a horrible job of bending part of it back, I was looking into the engine compartment. The IDM, which I thought was the PCM, is right there like yours. Do you happen to know how tough it is to pull and diagnose the power fuse box right next to it? I find that the relay coil high side for the IDM is only reading 9V. My whole IDM issue may be that it's not getting basic power. The power pin on the IDM connector reads zero with the ignition on.

I’ve got it filmed just need to edit it. It’s coming.

Yup

Buddy’s been using a gps. He’s older and the cost can’t be justified on the truck. It’s a 98 with a 12 valve in it. So it has some 24 valve parts and 12 valve parts. Components needed can not be sourced.

@@screamindieselltd I bought a gps speedo for $12 on Amazon . Plugs into cigarette outlet. Nice video

He can just listen I had to drive my manual isuzu like that to speedo or tach it's super easy once u know what to listen for

Thanks!

How so? This is what we came up with working with the customer to get the truck back driving for him. Not ideal but with a truck that has electrical parts made of unatainium it works.

@screamindieselltd it no longer operates as a automatic transmission and could be rather dangerous with the wrong person behind the wheel, which depending on the state this shop might be liable for.. Is this the forum hill billy fix for 1st gen 2nd gen dodge cummins with eletrical trans woes? Sure. Is it a professional fix? No.

All other options were tried. It was either scrap the truck or this. And this is what the customer chose to do. Parts needed can not be sourced for the truck. I agree it’s not the best way but it’s what worked to at least get him driving again.

@screamindieselltd LOL, well, that's not true. Their's like a dozen companies that rebuild the pcms. Less than $200. A multitude on ebay alone .Most of the parts are still available. Lastly their are multiple standalone transmission controllers made specifically for this application that are damn near plug and play.

Has a new PCM in it and only half the issues were fixed. Needs a whole harness. Customer didn’t want to spend over a grand on a stand alone for it. It’s an early 98 that’s rough. He’s an older guy and just needs to make it out a couple times a month with a small trailer. I’m not saying there are no other ways to fix it. This is the way we came up with with the customer.

It’s a Cummins but close enough lol

​@@screamindieselltdoh chit. Same dash as my old TJ, but mine was stick. However, my auto jeep XJ had the same problem. Wouldn't move in drive, had to shift up from first, till I rigged up the same switches. Hope my new cummins don't do this one day. Rock-on.

@@bonesBPMCnever heard a jeep that sounds like that😂

@@patrickstar5661never heard of a diesel swap in a jeep i guess. Lol But I didn't have my volume turned up.

There are some folks out there that should not be in the business of tuning. Trucks deleted so tuning was nothing to do with us.
