Done the key dance (see previous post for codes) but need to locate my code reader for definite issue on the O2 sensor..

Don't know about price of gas down in your hollow but I'd do whatever I could to keep the trep running before I'd use the 3500 as a daily driver.. $3.959 latest price 87 up here.

[jradams350]

Gas prices down here vary from $3.589 to $3.679 depending on where I go to fuel up.

[jradams350]

The Trep is still going strong and still currently on the road. It has surpassed 183000 on the clock and even with the price of gas at $3.569 it still acts like it is sipping the gas.

Great to hear, John! How is work?

[jradams350]

Work is work and still at WALMART working as a cart pusher.

--------------------------------------------------

A little over 187100 miles on the car and now the trans is about to give up on it. It is whining / roaring, bucking the whole car, stuck in LIM (Limp in mode), and the car tries stalling once come to a complete stop (suspicion is trans related). Also was going to spend the money to start buying tires for it, but now I can't :(... Got to get the C-3500 back on its feet so that I can get to work in the AM...

[jradams350]

When I start to trust the car things go belly up on it...

Here is what it is doing in short version...

1.) Starts Fine, but looking at the instrument cluster where it tells me what gear I am in, that is lit up like a christmas tree.

2.) Transmission clunks or feels like it slams into 2nd gear and goes no further

3.) The Speedometer does not work anymore

4.) Pulled codes on the car and got nothing for the transmission other than NO CCD BUS from the TCM

5.) Car tries to stall when coming to a complete stop and illuminating the battery and Oil Light.

6.) While in gear (Drive) you can hear a roaring noise start and get louder and actually see the RPM gauge rise as the noise gets louder.

The C-3500 is back on the road again and has taken over the assignment of DD until I can get the car back on all four wheels. What I thought was going to take 2 hours to deal with on the C-3500 (Replacement of Brake Rotor and all that stuff) took a lot longer than expected and took in some nasty battle wounds with that fight but I still won..

Sorry to hear, John. Don't be a stranger.

[cdmccul]

Sounds a bit like you have an output sensor issue, or just a TCM issue... I wonder if I have a spare TCM...

[jradams350]

Been lackadaisical and not had the time, money, weather to even think about replacing the sensors on the car to see if that would correct the issue.

I would need to re-pull all the codes and clear them and wait to see which ones comes back. I enjoyed driving the car around until the issues got to where they are at now still (SEE POSTS ABOVE).

Until I can get the car back on the road again the C-3500 is the only one running and going to and from Tupelo, MS almost every night.

[jradams350]

I may have to go to a CHRYSLER / DODGE / JEEP dealer and see how much a new Cam Position Sensor is going to cost to see if that is what is causing the code 43 to occur. I saw in another thread on here that solved one person's problems.

As for the other codes, I would just have to hunt down the issues and get them fixed as I can...

[jradams350]

Well time to dig in to see if the sensors will fix the issues with the transmission. If not, then it is the TCM and got to hunt through my parts to see if I can locate the other TCM that came with my replacement Inner-structure..

[95intrepid99kid]

Hopefully you'll get it fixed. I have always liked the look of your car.

[jradams350]

Thanks. Got the issues on the run now.
