What the heck is the little electrical doomahicky mounted on the rhs inner fender directly behind the air filter box on my 1999 Ram 3500 (about 2 1/2 " x 1 1/4" with a curcuit board, and looks like it has an adjusting screw in it ).

It has fallen out of it's holder. I can't seem to get it to stay in it's mating plastic box/holder. Does it glue/snap in or are some clips broken?

Thanks

Peter

 

I can't really recall anything mounted in that area, except the PCM which is larger than you describe. Can you post a picture?

 

wonder if its a trans noise filter ?we have one that size I got from dtt :/

 

If I remember correctly, the adjustable box would be the "fooler" for the PCM to keep it from seeing the high line pressure in the tranny, so it doesn't set a code (if your tranny is non-stock). This is adjustable where the filter doesn't have any adjustment to it. Both come from DTT. I don't know if anyone else makes them.

It's not anything that Dodge put there.

 

Here is a photo of this thingamagig!

It may be an aftermarket part, as my truck (I just bought it two weeks ago) does have a rebuilt transmission with some beefier parts, converter, DTT electric transmission controller and an exhaust brake.

Any guesses.

How do I get it to stay in it's plastic holder/mounting box?

Cheers

Is that your neighbor's 1st gen in the background of the photo? Sorry, couldn't help but notice

 

That be ours as well.

 

Yep it's definitely aftermarket, but I'll let the others determine exactly what it may be. If I was trying to hold it together, I think I'd just heat up my electric glue gun and put a tiny discreet dab of glue in a couple spots around the edge.

 

Looks like it was glued together when it was made..
Can you see any wires going to the box??

 

Yes , the curcuit board side has wires to it. That's(the wires) what is holding it up.
