    Can i somehow get mine out of derate?

    Hello GTYankee, Hey! Thanks for the leads. I'm reading up on these devices and it looks like I will most certainly obtain one of these. Actually, some of these at thousands of dollars might be a bit north of my budget. :cool: Ralph

    Can i somehow get mine out of derate?

    I'm sure glad forums keep records of members' posts; that way, we can keep track of the trolls. Perhaps, they will eventually come to their senses and recognize how embarrassing they made themselves. In the meantime, my de-rated 3500 came out of derate all by itself. Don't ask me how. I am...

    Can i somehow get mine out of derate?

    A little aggressive are we? I've never bypassed my emissions system so I don't believe I am ignorant of environmental issues as well as everyone's health and well being. The solution to my problem may still cost me a bundle but it will not be for bypassing anything. I thought this forum is for...

    Thank you for the replies. I am away from the truck for the next week and will get back to see what I can find out with my OBD-II reader. Ralph

    Can i somehow get mine out of derate?

    The truck threw a code referring to the emissions system. I've reconnected all the sensors and the truck is still at 5MPH. I knowmit has to do with the emmisions and I am not prepared to take it to the stealership.

    Can i somehow get mine out of derate?

    Is there any way, any device I can purchase for a reasonable cost to get my 2014 Ram 3500, 6.7 Cummins, standard transmission out of derate? Ralph

    What can kill an ignition coil?

    Do you mean that if there is no fuel pressure, the system won't allow spark?

    What can kill an ignition coil?

    Hello Pacofortacos, Okay, I try those steps in a few hours when I arrive back to the shop. Running errands at the moment, and I'll get back to you.

    '96 2500 plow truck won't run after sitting the winter...

    Just checked the fuel pump relay and it is fine. I also got a little more fuel up to the engine but no where near 45 PSI. This might mean a bad fuel pump which entails dropping the tank I presume. By the way, I have not found an in-line fuel filter so am I correct in assuming the filter is also...

    What can kill an ignition coil?

    Hello pacofortacos, I am working on the truck now and am looking into the fuel system. It appears I have no fuel pressure and cannot hear the fuel pump running when turning on the ignition. I've actually had posted earlier about this and didn't remember so I have 2 threads going on this problem...

    Hello DodgeTX, I have attached a manometer and am not getting any pressure, or very little, actually. I even pushed the check valve of the fitting on the fuel rack and almost no pressure is seen there with the ignition switch on. If, however, I cycle the ignition switch several times, I'll get a...

    What can kill an ignition coil?

    Still trying to get my 96 Ran 2500 S/T running. It cranks but doesn't fire. Could something destroy a coil? I replaced it but still cannot seem to get spark. I even ran a temporary hot lead to.the primary side of the old coil and the new replacement coil - no spark. Is there something I am missing?

    Hello again all, My problem still persists. Here's what I've done so far: I replaced the coil and the truck started right up. But after 2 minutes, died. I replaced the new coil and the truck started again. Could something in the ignition system damage the coil?

    Thank you, folks for the suggestions. Other, job-related issues have come up since my last post and I have put the troubleshooting on hold for the week. Will follow up with results as I tend to them. Thanks again for the time you've taken in replying. Ralph
