Stock.
Pull the two connectors on the driver side valve cover, see if they're oily. Clean, dielectric grease and stuff them back in. It could be a break in the wire, or a loose pin somewhere to the main harness.
Injector is very likely done. Bosch injectors are very sensitive to any kind of water intrusion etc at the connection so make sure that isn't occurring when you replace it.
Couple quarters will fix a 7.3 UVC harness connection.Surprised...no 7.3 guys from the peanut gallery?
That's right, they're the original UVC harness guys

Looking at the price of injectors reallly makes me long for the days of a simple carburetor....
I could have already replaced it (without a valve cover gasket replacement made of wiring and whatever precious material it’s made of) and be on the road.
Do they make a 4150 to Cummins adaptor kit?
Done with what? Driving a working vehicle

I feel ya im at 288k on my 04.5, my timing cover is puking and I’d rather put the funds toward a rebuild. If the damn thing blew up today I couldn’t be mad It’s been a great truck. I run a 2micron cat filter and a Baldwin in my bowl but I know my injectors are on borrowed time.Looking at the price of injectors reallly makes me long for the days of a simple carburetor....

Mehhhh
Lol.Till you try pulling a grade in summer and vapor lock in the middle of the desert
Lol.
Ya know?
My parents old 3+3 never experienced that, and, it had a B&M mini blower on it.
Now please excuse me.
Going to go up the street and start removing @sintax Allison trans as a just in case backup plan.
I’d take the Duramax as well but it probably has more miles on it than my Cummins does.
Well. That and my engine only needs 6 injectors, not 8. That’s saving me money
Lol.

I heard that.

I spoke with “The Godfarher” a couple weeks ago.
I was working for him when I bought this Ram.
He liked it and bought a silver MegaCab about 2 months later.
He has over a half million miles on it.
You’re going to love this.
Technically, my truck has more miles than yours. By about 40K.
However.
Moss Dodge/Cummins long blocked it at 48-50ish thousand miles.
A dead number 6
Because?
Injector failure.
Went in for a trans rebuild (on Dodge’s dime) and left with a rebuilt trans and engine.
I’m a fan of Dodge.
I’m a bigger fan of Ford salesmen for being complete dicks
I’ve got a TTVA code and looooong shift 1st to 2nd issue on and off for 7 or 8 years. Built trans, holds fine, but a delay in the shift from 1 to 2 I’ve never been able to solve.
My trans guy replaced the plug off the wiring harness to the speed sensor on the trans and fixed my holding a gear too long and the shift back a gear issue.
I would say the kit is the same price.Thanks for that
This one is the 325 model.
Going to assume it will be more costly
Idk its an urban legend or true....but was told many years ago that on the paint line in Mexico, the bathrooms are really far away and that there was a period in time where the Mexican's were pissing in the paint tanks to avoid the walk. I always just figured thats as good of an explanation as any.Heckling about the peeling Dodge clear coat in 3...2...

17yrs is pretty good compared to half the other turds out there. I’m at 289k and driving like I stole it. Look into a smarty jr.View attachment 1172941
Oh what a painful sight.
17 years before the mighty Ram see’s a tow truck.
I’m sure to hear some heckling from one of you
Mechanic calls me, I had already told him I don’t want to replace an injector or 2, let’s do all 6
He explains I can have Bosch injecrors outbof a box that says Dodge on it.
Or Bosch injectors out of a box that’s says Bosch for about a grand less
I ask about +50hp injectors.....
Now I’m back in Dodge territory.
We may be looking at 6 Bosch injectors installed.
We will be talking about a 6 Gun tuner.
Stay “tuned”
I drive a ram…I just buy white so I don’t see itYou’re an asshole
Funny as all get out.
But you are an asshole.
Except that a Diesel engine can’t run on a carburetor.Looking at the price of injectors reallly makes me long for the days of a simple carburetor....

Keep the oil changed, and a spare waterpump...as long as you don't let the injectors go to hell (and keep driving), they last forever.
my timing cover is leaking and I think it’s blow by related I’d hate to spend 1500 to fix it all to find out it blows out again. I figure put that money toward a rebuild. I have the usual valve clatter lol.
