#589 of 638 Re: Keep throwing "Overboost" code [rhino379] by jond09 Jun 18, 2009 (7:01 am)
Replying to: rhino379 (Jun 12, 2009 12:34 pm) How high is your boost getting? On a factory cummins motor you should keep your boost from going over 45psi. Anything above this you will need head studs to prevent a blown head gasket or other problems. It is not designed to handle higher boost from the factory. This is why I would not get a boost fooler. Your truck should have some kind of factory waste gate to prevent over boost. The computer controls on the truck should not allow your boost to get over a certain level. And since It still does it when your programmer is off I would think something in that area may be having a problem. I have an 06 and my boost will not go over 41psi stock or programmed.

Replying to: jond09 (Jun 18, 2009 7:01 am) I do not have a boost gauge on my truck to tell me how high its getting. I was also informed to check my MAP sensor...is this tied into my wastgate opening? How would I check this? Replies to this message: condor74 (Jul 07, 2009 1:30 pm) rhino379 (Jul 07, 2009 6:16 pm) condor74 (Jul 09, 2009 2:49 pm)

#594 of 638 2001 Dodge Ram not getting fuel to injector pump by doublecreek Jun 25, 2009 (8:25 am)
My 2001 Cummins 2500 Ram will not start. I am not getting fuel to the fuel filter cannister and I have already replaced the lift pump. Is there any thing besides a clogged fuel line or stopped up pickup that would cause this. I think pump should run for 2 seconds when I turn the ignition switch on. Any input would be appreciated before pull the bed off to access the fuel tank.
#595 of 638 99 2500 tras problems by jredman Jul 05, 2009 (3:41 pm)
I have a 99 dodge ram 2500 5.9 cummins. The trasmisson is leaking when I put in gear. It even blew out the pan gasket once. I think it is producing to much pressure and I would like to know how to fix it.

Replying to: rhino379 (Jun 19, 2009 10:51 am) I am a Dodge truck technician and I have seen that problem multiple times. The answer is not what you are going to want to hear.   If you have it set back to stock, and it is still throwing the overboost code, the most likely culprit is your turbocharger wastegate. At the dealer the wastegate comes with the turbo. So probably you will be installing a new turbo to get rid of that code.

Replying to: condor74 (Jul 07, 2009 1:30 pm) If it is set to stock, would my Cummins warranty cover it? I have 65k on it. If i put a boost fooler and monitor my boost pressure will it affect the turbo/ motor? How can I check my wastegate? Replies to this message: condor74 (Jul 09, 2009 2:49 pm)
