Sticky VGT.

Well….I wonder if this POS sensor was why my factory brake wouldn’t work.

 
Exactly what I was wondering, was it just the sensor the whole time?! Figured an electrical guru such as yourself would've troubleshot all of that before buying hard parts!
 
It's all good. Truck has 200K+ on it. Time for new spinny anyway. Fixing to call Mumau and harass him to send me a new sensor.
 
Apparently TravisG watched the video. At 10:13 last night he texted me links to the seat replacement foam and cover. LMAO
 
Well, got a new sensor from Cummins in OKC. Keep this in mind if you need one.

Dealership price $701 Dodge P/N 68002442AA (called multiple, all the same)
Cummins parts/service center $192 OEM P/N 4928594 (if they have one in stock, I don't think they can order them now)
Doorman aftermarket from Oreilly's $122 (if you want to chance aftermarket ****)

Test drive tonight. I can't wait. I noticed the turbo was only making 20 psi boost while hauling hay this weekend as well. Maybe that will change too.

Be sure to purchase a new tube that connects between sensor and exh manifold.
 
I had mine crack at one point. Vibration got it at after some of the original parts was removed.

Why? I filled it full of cleaner and ran a wire brush through it. It's clean. Or are you saying the ends get buggered up and it leaks or what?

Never mind! I've never had any luck cleaning one thats 100% plugged, which id imagine was the case for yours, except with my pressure washer and a 0* nozzle.

What cleaner did you use?

Do you clean yours at every fuel filter change??:ROFLMAO:

Funny. LOL

I just sprayed some carb cleaner in it, run a brush in each end, and blew 125 psi air hose through it. Air flew through it so I'm sure it was ok.
 
Took the camper to the Lake last weekend. The E-brake is waaaaaaaay better now. I'm going to say probably not any better than factory, but at least it works well now. Now I'm off to see @TravisG soon so he can rebuild my driver's seat with new foam and cover.

Nothing against you going to see TravisG, but I just rebuilt the driver seat in the Avalanche with a cover and foam off eBay for $50.00. Took me an hour and a half. You can do it.
 
They make the durofoam that Genos was pushing. Think they make it for all gens.

Was a waste of $160 for me. **** has my back twisted like a pretzel. I’m on my 3rd seat bottom and swapped the whole ass chair to another as well. I gave up.

Well, it's the durafoam and a factory replacement cover. It's not too much. Less than $200 for both his price, which is discounted. And I need to go see him anyway. I don't get over to his place much. It's only 2 hours but seem like a state away most days.

I have contemplated replacing the entire seat though. What's out there that feels better that doesn't cost $2000?

Mine will be getting a Recaro or Corbeau that I’ve ran in some offroad rigs and know I like.

I finally got a cushion that’s decent and it was off center compared to the back rest. **** drives me absolutely bonkers.

Hopefully you have good luck with the duo foam. People rave about it and I have one more idea of what could be causing mine to be cattywompus. I’m fairly sure it’s my truck, not the cushion.
