Dodge Ram 3500 5.9 Cummins TPS/APPS sensor change

[@freddexta3363]

Thanks for the video, I happen to own an identical truck that has the same problem and Dodge wants an arm and a leg to fix it so I'm gonna try this too, looks simple enough.

I purchased the Napa version of the OEM part where the sensor is already pretty attached and calibrated to the bracket. I was experiencing loss of power symptoms with no check engine light once I replace the part I no longer had loss of power when pressing the throttle but now the check engine light is on throwing a code saying the voltage is wrong. How do you adjust the voltage on these parts that are already pre-calibrated

Thanks for the vid .i did the reset on mine it only worked for a few days . im going to try the cheap non oem one but want to c how bad of a hob it is incase it dosent work and i need the $600 oem one and havr to do the jobe 2 times .oem vs not is a huge price jump .i will let you know how the cheap ine works.

Do you need to re-program the TPS? Or is it ready to use?

[@patricktucker9950]

Jose Bonilla, if you by the oem one you do not have to do anything Other than plug it in. If you buy a aftermarket sensor only you need to turn it and set the voltage. Not program but set the proper voltages I do not know what the voltage is each car is different and you would need to look up

Mine just went out and it seems that oem is discontinued but I got a 196,xxx miles out of mine and it looks like I'm gonna have to go aftermarket

Hey dude, appreciate this video. Had a customer poorly explaining what he was looking for and your video helped me match it right up!

My 2004.5 Cummins has a six speed swap from an automatic. I’m throwing a code on my tps. Also rolling coal under heavy throttle most times. I’ve heard that it can fail to tell the computer to ramp up rail pressure? Would the manual swap change how it works?

[@grasscutter88]

Possibly. Mine went straight to 2000rpm when I started it.

Maybe you know the answer to this unique issue I have on my 2005 Dodge Ram 5.9 Cummins automatic w/overdrive transmission? 196,000 miles. It's the original transmission and motor. All fluids/oils and filters regularly changed and kept clean/new. Not used to tow often...4-5 times a year at most and 8,000 lb loads at most. I've asked 4 tranny shops and a few forums and Facebook groups but no luck finding same problem or proper fix. I'm wondering if I'm just that special?!?? Lol One mild Fall day last year I had driven 260 miles on interstate at about 75-80 mph. It began slowly reducing speed over 6 miles from 80 to 15mph. Moving fuel pedal would not do anything but make it stumble a little a couple dozen RPMs up or down. Stopping and restarting it immediately did not help nor did changing gears manually. All fluids were fine, not too hot and no burning of anything fluid or conduit wire was observed. All looked good under and above it. I stopped it for 30 minutes as I checked it over. It would drive normally after that, but it would only go 25-30 miles before it would slowly slow down again as described above. I did this over many cycles all the way home 260 miles. I'd turn it off and on again, completely off as it rested for 25 minutes. The batteries seemed to be getting charged (started well each time) and no warning lights were on. Once or twice, when I drove it until it would not even crawl anymore (1-2 mph, I was testing it), it stalled. So it wasn't hard starting or hard-stalling unless I took it all the way down to 1-2 mph speed. It was not idling weird either. Could this be an electrical ground failure or electronic issue? If I had a battery connection loose or anything disrupting the flow could it cause this? It seems like something is getting tired and needing to cool down or something but nothing was overly hot or smoking. What's weird to me is it's not slipping in the usual way of revving up but not moving. It would usually get no lower than idle. Tranny shops haven't heard of this before. No transmission codes either. They want to charge me $3,000+ for new or rebuilt tranny. I want to rule out wiring and electronics (that don't throw codes) first. Any suggestions? Heard of this ever before for an automatic transmission? Thanks!

Have the same problem in my 2005 dodge ram 3500 dually 5.9. so what was the problem? Need it help

[@thesetruths1404]

@@fernandocaal9260 it was either a bad electrical connection/ground. Or a partly clogged fuel filter. Or the transmission was actually going out. If I were you I'd have the first two checked and replaced first.

Check your crank sensor
