Just getting ready to hook up and got on trip. Truck is hesitating/lack of power during inital acceleration leaving a LOT of black smoke. Will then come out of it and go. Whats uo

Gauges indicate all is well boost-fuel pressure

 

Check your intercooler boots. Probably the one on the Turbo. It has probably blown off.

 

checked them and they all seem ok. Took air filter hose off turbo impeller turns free and no slop looks nice and clean

Have you tried cycling your key on & off 3 times to see if there is any P Codes that come up in tho odometer... It May be a sensor starting to go bad...

 

odometer P 1693

 

Isn't 1693 the "companion" code? Can you get a DRB scan from someone? I'm thinking that you will find something else.

pcu p1693

ecu p382

 

I'm a little confused. P0382 comes back to EGR in my book. I hope someone else gets some more info for you. I guess all I can say is good luck. Sorry.

Ed

 

EGR ????

exhaust gas restriction?

Just had a Jake Brake installed a week ago

 

P0382 Intake Air Heater Relay No. 2 Control Circuit

Grid heater relay.

Probably not related to your problem though.

this list calls 1693 low voltage in tackometer circuit

 

Full list of codes for the Dodge Ram can be found here: ODB II Codes

First a P1693 code is:
P1693 - DTC Detected In ECM Or PCM
This basically means there is codes stored on your computer and you need a code scanner to retrieve them...

(i.e: before I got my comp box I had a 1693 & when I hooked the scanner up I got a overboost code set twice...)

Phox hit it right on the head for the other:
P0382 - Intake Air Heater Relay No. 2 Control Circuit
and like he said its probably not related at all...

This might work/help your problem out:
APPS Reset

This basically teaches your fly by wire throttle the throttle positions again..

 

Thanks----any chance the edge could be bad? anyway to check it?

 

Unhook it.

 

One way you can check it is by disconnecting everything and see if your truck drives any better or if you get more codes. Just make sure you disconnect the batteries before disconnecting any of the sensors or you willget more codes that will cause your truck to go into limp mode and you will need a code scanner to clear them..

One of my friends ecm wewnt bad and he called edge to see if there unit may have caused it.. So he sent it to them they tested it, updated the software on it & checked the wiring harness for shorts & found nothing.. And shipped him back the unit at no charges to them..

I have read the Edge gives great customer service & thats why I went that way..

I would disconnect your box and see if drives any different or if you have any different codes... Then if theres no change try the apps, but if there is a change call edge & tell them w/ the box hooked up the truck is doggy..

I'm sure someone else will chime in to lead you onto some other ideas..
