I've used the Ram Body Builder manual for some specs on my truck pretty often. Nowhere near 1600 pages of material though, that's got to be close to FSM. Nice find

ya that GM doc is what i tried looking at, its usless no connector pinouts, just endlesss wire diagrams- i gave up there. 


still no fire, so i guess its a trip to shortsville to have a box unchecked on the tune.  all i can hope is that the starter motor diag shuts off more than the injectors (i have no pop with brake clean) and grounding the pin like stated on the forums doesn't change anything so not hopeful.

engine issue resolved. fired right up.

I had the Vats patch installed, but not enabled.  also did not have starter motor diagnostics disabled.  both of these items kept engine from firing.


all good now engine and trans.  on to more details / wiring. 

glass, radiator, and a new starter motor showed up.

Glad I came here to see the rest of the process after seeing the raw materials on FB... nice work.

Did Nick cut those out for you or are you just that good by hand with the plasma?
