Hey guys, I’m the one that had the issue. Was having issues ever since about December. I actually did his TPS delete mod back in January ish. (See his video). Putting my overdrive on a switch worked perfectly for about 4 months. All of a sudden it started kicking in and out of OD and eventually failed all together. I ran all new ground wires. Checked fluid. Checked switch. TPS had already been deleted at this point. Adjusted the kick down cable. Nothing worked. Could not go over 45 miles an hour. Talked to Tim again for probably the 5th time and he told me about this sensor. Instead of using a paper clip, I cut the sensor out completely and just crimped the wires together for a more permanent solution. FINALLY my overdrive was fixed. This was about 3-5 days ago and has worked perfectly ever since. Tim is definitely the go to guy when having issues. Every issue I’ve had, he’s helped fix. Much appreciated.
Thank you for posting this Tim. This worked for me on my first gen. Had issues with popping in and out of gear so I tried the paper clip. It works great now. I will probably just hard wire the two wires together completely and delete the sensor since I have a trans temp gauge in the cab. Glad it works how it’s supposed to now
@@decentgarage and believe it or not just unplugging it and plugging it back in cleaned whatever gunk or what was effecting it out and it doesn’t even need replaced. I wouldn’t have thought in a million years that this would be such a simple fix!
New guy to the diesel world. Just got a 1992 D250 and did my first oil change. Now I'm a lil nervous with changing the fuel filter. The whole thing about repriming the fuel system. If you have any good tips I would greatly appreciate it. Awesome channel man!!!
Your tutorial content is really great. Your format really is a tremendous value to me as it has helped with my check list to for what to double check as she goes back together. Between you, Duddie's, Tyler and of Course Mr Cutterup Rob. You all make tinkering on these Ol Beast's alot of Fun ! Keep M coming. Thumbs Up !
Thanks for that Ron! I also love that there is the little group of us that you mentioned that are all contributing. I like feeling like i can reach out to them for their expertise as well
Happy Birthday ! Just wanted to give ya heads up I just uploaded my Part 2 Ram Charger Tank install. Even put in my 1st tutorial. Of course not even close to your calibur. But none the less. pls check it out my friend. ua-cam.com/video/96Mn65k7AF4/v-deo.html
Keep it up brother! Over 5K subs! Great content as always. I wish you were closer to Michigan. Ohhhh the content you could get out of my 90 club shortie!
Good video! I will be checking my 93 soon. Pretty much had these issues since I bought my d350. I didn't license it this year mainly because of od issues. This video will get me interested in working on it again. The oil change video and other seemingly mundane tasks to you would help out the new people. These 1 gen diesels have a bit of new and a bit of old technology. Enough to humble most. Keep up the good work so you can keep on truckin and keep us all truckin.
Check the coil on the CR80. There is a high speed and low speed winding. Sometimes they burn out or fail. A mouse chewed the wire off the high-speed winding on my 80 coil and when running it was fine until wide open throttle. Low RPM was perfect, wide-open throttle would not rev up and sputtered. If it smells bad it will need replaced as it is burned out. They all fail at some point.
Hope you ordered the STOCK SIZE TIRES as that size is engineered for that truck. Wider, taller or smaller all has some kind of effect on the truck. Most people just don't understand MPG, power, and mechanical damage can all be affected from incorrect rim and tire sizes.
I’ve got the 727 non OD, i’ve been thinking about doing a third Gen, five or six speed automatic swap to make the drive ability way better. Also sidenote glad to see I’m not the only one that runs the Kirkland 15w40 oil. lol
Hey this is six in a row Jim again I used that technique for loosening the jam that on my I had to turn my idol up on my old Dodge but I was able to get in there with one of those little screwdriver so I can get from the snap on truck got right in there and turned right up anyhow yeah and then I used to punch in hammer and just snug back up again thanks for that information by
I cannot get my overdrive in my 91.5 to work. I bought it 12 hours away. Test drove it, all good. Started heading home, got about an hour away and it felt like the trans was slipping. My first thought was oh of course. It has a new trans about 20k ago slightly built. He had paperwork online so I was confused. Going about 75-80 it just felt like it was coming out of gear and if I gave it full throttle it would sometimes go into overdrive. Then about 30 mins later it stopped. Drove it the rest of the way home no issues. Drove it to Wichita (little over an hour from me) about 3 times and a couple other 30 mins to an hour drives and then to work and stuff which I work local but it never did it. Then about 3 weeks later going to McPherson it started doing it again. So I slowed down and realized it wasn’t slipping it was downshifting. Then it just would absolutely not go into overdrive since. I can only go about 50 mph. I have a new pigtail on my tps and adjusted it correctly. Sometimes when I’ve checked it it goes a little bit lower in voltage which I thought was weird. I tried to do the trick displayed in this video and went and drove it and it went into overdrive once and turned off the highway and it just won’t go into overdrive now. I didn’t use stainless steel wire on this trick would that matter? I’m just stuck on what this could be.
Are you on your off 85 mL bike I forget what model you said it was but I doubt it’s this big check the rubber boot the carburetor goes into the bolts to the head it may be cracked up and might have a vacuum leak
I'm about to sell my 91 because I can't figure this out lol. I checked my tps and it only reads .17. It will only let me adjust it to .50 and when I open the throttle it will drop back to .17. Give or take a few
So yeah I tried a brand new one paid about 80 bucks for it. It was still reading .17v tried to adjust it, it would only reach .50. At WOP it would barley jump up and when I let it off the reading would fall right back to .17v.. I had tried the sensor with a paper clip trick still nothing.. im going to check my pins on the tps plug next. But the only other thing I could think of is the unit could be fried🤔. The day before it failed I did smell a weird smell while in OD, tracked it with my nose and it was coming from the computer.. but would that give me low volt numbers or no volt numbers..
@@decentgarage yeah that was something I was trying to figure out. Unfortunately there's not much about it. Atleast that I found. I'd hate to buy it then not be it. Trying to track the cheaper stuff down.
Many thanks for that. Have you got a good source for the two wire pigtail into the transmission solenoid? I am finding it difficult to get the right one.
@@decentgarage Many thanks for the quick reply, my truck is a a 1992 with the 46RH transmission, that is no torque converter lock up and a 2 wire pigtail as it only has the o/d solenoid.. Of course I will pay the shipping.

Gonna try this right now!! Been having od issues for ever. And the tps works for like 3 days then back to it: so here’s hoping
Let me know if it works!
@@decentgarage it for sure does! The tps still causes it to act funny but it fixed it alternating due to weather. Thanks!!
@@moofusenterprises7503 no way! Wow i had never heard of this being an issue but there are two people who it's worked for now!

EXCELLENT job on the overdrive saftey switch! Mine did thae EXACT same thing so I am going to check it! Thanks!!!!!!!! 👍
Happy to help! Let me know how it goes
U should do a video on how to flush tranny completely, and running gear please
Everything ive read says tranny flushes on these are not a good idea. Drain them, change the filter, and refill. That's what I do

Great video. Keep them coming....
Thanks, will do!
thanks for the tip i am having over drive issues
Hopefully this is the issue but it could be a lot of things
I’d check out the reed valve on the CR85. If it’s stuck or damaged it may not be allowing the proper air into the engine
I checked the reeds and they looks fine. I may change them out though just in case
Awesome video 😬👍🏻
Thanks Mike! 👍
Great Video
Thanks man!

I'll make sure to check the intake boots.
Mine’s been having issues, I deleted tps but it still no overdrive. Don’t know what it is but will try this.
It sounds like it needs to be rejetted on cr85 brother
I've rejetted it twice... 😢
I was wondering. If I disconnect the od switch will my 92 dodge go into od . I rarely lock it out and its locked out now .
I'm about to sell my 91 because I can't figure this out lol. I checked my tps and it only reads .17. It will only let me adjust it to .50 and when I open the throttle it will drop back to .17. Give or take a few
Weird. May guess is the TPS is probably bad.
@@decentgarage I tried a new one and it was reading the same thing. Could the cpu be bad
So yeah I tried a brand new one paid about 80 bucks for it. It was still reading .17v tried to adjust it, it would only reach .50.

@@johnnyhernandez8530 shoot, it could be the ECM...
@@decentgarage yeah that was something I was trying to figure out. Unfortunately there's not much about it. Atleast that I found. I'd hate to buy it then not be it. Trying to track the cheaper stuff down.
I get my tps at 1 volt but on full it only gos to 268 ??? And it not going in to OD ??
Many thanks for that. Have you got a good source for the two wire pigtail into the transmission solenoid? I am finding it difficult to get the right one.
I don't know of any that are available. Best bet is to hit the junk yard and cut one out.
@@decentgarage There is not one junkyard in Ireland with a 1992 Dodge D250 Cummins in it, I believe mine is the only one in the country.
@@whitevanman8703 oh crap! Let me put the word out and see what I can find if you'll pay shipping. What year is the truck?
