Other than the bracket is there a difference between a TPS for automatic and standard transmission for a 98.5?

 

There must be someone that knows. Other than the bracket are all TPS's for a 98.5 the same or am I over looking something

 

They are the same except the bracket on the auto has a hole for the pressure reg.

 

I needed a second opinion ... Thank you

 

Well the dealership has never ordered one before and at $700+ (can) I can see why. After market ones I can order not sure when they will come in. So I went to my nearest Commins Truck Centre. They couldn't look up a parts # because of an agreement with Chrysler Canada. But I happen to have the #. The part price is $396 + tax. Pick it up in a couple of days.

 

I sent an e-mail to Cummins and this is what I got back:


I'd like find the part # for a Throttle Positioning Sensor for a 1998.5 Dodge Ram 24V 5.9L. I'd like to have this information in hand when I phone the dealers in my area

Summary: TPS

Solution:
Thanks for your Email message. You have contacted Cummins, Inc. at our Customer Assistance Center located in Columbus, Indiana. This is our worldwide headquarters and has been our home since Clessie Cummins founded the company February 3, 1919.

Hello Ken, We do not have a part number for your TPS. This is an OEM installed part usually found under the throttle pedal. This part in your case will carry a Dodge part number.

Cummins designs and supplies the Cummins 6B5.9 and ISB 24-Valve turbo diesel engines to DaimlerChrysler, however, DaimlerChrysler warrants the diesel engine and truck completely, as a package unit. Cummins, Inc. and authorized Service Providers cannot provide warranty coverage on Dodge Ram trucks powered with Cummins diesel engines, since all warranties are handled by the Dodge dealers.

To find the closest Dodge service, anywhere in North America, call Chrysler at 800-992-1997.

For assistance with Dodge Ram truck issues, Dodge requires a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for vehicle identification (i.e., model, year, build plant, etc.). Always have your VIN number available when requesting assistance with your Dodge vehicle.

When bringing a Dodge truck to a Dodge dealer for warranty service, you may also wish to verify that the service department is availing themselves of the diesel technician troubleshooting assistance that is available to Dodge dealers by way of their S.T.A.R. Hotline. Dodge dealers may call the DaimlerChrysler Hotline for technical assistance.

Prior to 2004 model year, Dodge warranty on the engine was 5 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. The warranty coverage for the Cummins Turbo Diesel in the 2004 model year Dodge Ram is 7 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, and is handled by Dodge dealers, not Cummins. See your local Dodge dealer or www.dodge.com <http://www.dodge.com> for further details regarding this warranty coverage.

Customers should call Dodge Customer Service Hotline (800-992-1997) for assistance.
