This is sort of out there for this forum but I'm swapping a 4 cylinder Cummins into my 2014 Ram 1500. Its all in and the Cummins is running as a stand alone system but I cant get the truck ECU to run the truck side. I have deleted all the sensors that produce errors on a scan with HP Tuners so I have no engine DTC's when you scan the system. The ECU is not pulling in the ASD relay but even when I jump the relay it does not help. The push button start system is working, the dash is all working other than the tach so I have oil pressure and temp on the dash. Whatever runs the tach also energizes the alternator and allows the trans to shift out of park. Basically I have a Cummins powered lawn ornament.
The Hemi sensors that I have installed on the Cummins are the oil temp and pressure, water temp, crank sensor and the Hemi throttle body is plugged in as I found it needed it to get any life out of the ECU. Before I pulled the Hemi I stripped it down to the basic sensors and was amazed at how little it took to keep it running and the truck driving.
I had the following sensors unplugged and then deleted in the ECU with HP Tuners. All the 02 sensors, The knock sensors, cam sensor, variable intake, Purge, and a couple more. I had it down to 5 injectors and coils and it was still running but rough.
I basically now have the same sensors on the Cummins but must be missing something in the ECU tune.
So before you go off on why anyone would do such a stupid thing lets just leave it at a desire to be different. This is not my first rodeo, I have already swapped the following: 2008 Jeep JKU/ TDI, 2008 Dakota/Cummins, 2000 Jeep XJ/TDI, 1999 Dakota/Isuzu and 1993 Jeep ZJ/Isuzu.
Any constructive comments are appreciated!
