so after reading quite a bit on here, and watching this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVRPipmo8sU
i decided to install a smoke switch tonight. i hooked it up on the wires shown on the vid ( no edge mod. tho) and tried it out, and all it did was throw a code and lose power. no smoke. does the switch not work on stock truck? the code is no worry, i sell cars for a dodge dealership so i can get the code scanned and cleared. i am just concerned about losing power and not gaining smoke. what did i do?

 

No a smoke switch will not work on a stock truck. It'll just go into limp mode as you have found out. A module that does boost fooling is necessary.

 

do i have to unhook and clear code to come out of limp mode? or just unhook it?

 

if you go to the wrong wire, you are hooking into the temp sensor wire, and it will throw a code and loose power, i did it wrong the first time when i had a switch......

 

Yes, you wll need to unhook the jumper you installed so you can clear the code.

 

update: pulled the switch and wires late last night, check engine light still on this morning when i went to work, but truck was out of limp mode at least. cleared DTC when i got to work and now we're back to good. next time i'll do more research b4 tying wires together. thanks everyone for the help.
