for those that are reading this thread and aint a 2nd gen....it works also with a early '03 3rd gen. thanks Timbo01 it works good so far, im gonna get some miles on it tomorrow, but there aint a doubt in my mind it will work. it already idles alot smoother.

 

Guess I'll be going to Timbo01 if I need one, like the first name btw. Can't go wrong when his name is Tim, eh? HAHAHA. That is pretty cool.

 

Recieved tim's apps replacement the other day took no time at all to install it works great. Beets dodges pos and cost of 450 bucks . Even looks a little more robust ,if it only last a year I'am still further ahead. I can not thank you enough fore effort to track this down. I will let other people now when they find themselfs insurch of a better price APPS............. THIS WAS # 4 FOR ME

 

Same here. Put it in yesterday and so far it is running much better. Thanks!

 

I would have to agree with you. I have not used your product but at a third of OEM price and a better unit, I would say you have given back. It would not matter if you made 500% profit, people don't seem to understand the efforts and costs of engineering a product that is better than some POS that we have all been stuck with. On a similiar note, the manufacturer was not the one who brought this component to the forefront, another member did. I see no attempt by Timbo01 to try to take advantage of a FREE site. I also do see alot of difference between him and all these companies selling multiple compnents that you can by from anywhere. Just be glad he hasn't made some exclusive deal with one of theses PAYING companies who will turn around and mark the price up 500%. Some people never think before they type or talk. Thanks for the info Timbo and to the OP.

 

I would like to see some pics of what you get and the install. The tdr link wont work unless you are a member or the link is less than 7 days old.

 

I've already put mine in so can't get you any pictures but as far as I could tell it looks just like the stock APPS. Comes with 2 replacement mounting screws, instructions, and a paper clip for doing the initial voltage calibration. Not much to it.

 

Well said.

 

When do you need this? What problems arise, that you know it is time for one of these?

 

I agree with that statement. Some people also don't seem to understand the efforts and costs associated with keeping a forum this size FREE for everyone's use.

You won't see his previous ads because they were removed and after speaking with him, he understands that it isn't fair for him to get the same advantage of advertising his product here, that others pay for.

As Tim states, He is a Stand up Guy and he took care of that issue.

It would appear that way at times, but I think not knowing the whole story is probably closer to the truth In this case Members of this forum know that Sponsoring Vendors pay to help keep this Resource free for their use and they speak up when they think a vendor may be trying to take an unfair advantage.

That is not the case this time, but unless you saw the previous posts that were removed, You might not know that. Either way, all is well here

 

timbo's is different than mine but you basically get an APPS (then sensor) with a connector cable made up that allows you to simply plug it into you exsisting wiring harness. Here's a picture of my jumper cable but like I said..timbo came up with a simpler, neater design.

Timbo, you need to go straighten out the guys over on
WWW.Dieselram.com. They think that installing your APPS requires soldering wires and they are discouraging it.
They are also saying that the cruise control won't work with your APPS.

If you enlighten them.....

 

good day fellas, i will be calling timbo very soon for this part as my apps just started to throw codes, but am in need of locating this little fellar, were is it and what does it look like. pictures would be great but i can struggle through verbal help. thanks in advance!!

 

What does the "Apps" do?

 

My trans was kicking out of lockup all the time.

I would be going down the road and get dead pedal -- 60 mph then no pedal --stomp it a few times and it would run again but getting worse and doing it several times per day. It threw codes every time it gave the dead pedal and if it worked OK for the next few starts the codes would clear- until next time. One was a low APPS voltage I recall but forget the numbers - got 2 codes.

I called Tim - ordered the part - installed it per his great instructions - set the idle screw - note - it did take torch heat to soften the locktite - gentle on the end where the screw is as Tim's instructions state.

I also went through and cleaned all battery terminals at this time -baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and water and a wire brush terminal cleaner and sand paper, then reset the APPS - throttle as Tim instructs.

Worked perfect - no problems. Truck now runs and shifts perfect.

A great product from Tim.
