I am still waiting for my son to get the time to tow my truck over to the guy to get the tranny fixed, so while I had some time, I was checking the exhaust, and found it had come loose at the rear of the CAT.. So, I clamped it back together, and started it up, still needs the donut gasket, still loud, but I can hear the nice tone it has now.. Anyway, Then the check engine light came on, and threw a P0205 code at me, which is Cyl #5 injector circuit malfunction..

Any ideas on this one?

That really sucks!

Ever thought getting a Carfax report?

 

yeah I did, but there was nothing on it other than title changes...

Sigh...

I did find this recall is incomplete Don't know if it would have anything to do with it or not:
REPROGRAM PCM OBD CATALYST MONITOR

Looks like it's mainly for CA emissions though... So, shouldn't matter on mine..

And shouldn't cause it to throw this code..

 

I looked in the service manual. The description was: "Injector #5 output driver stage does not respond properly
to the control signal."

It sounds like to me that you have a bad injector. IDK though!

 

weird... It didn't do that until I messed with the exhaust... strange.. IDK either... I'll figure it out later... It still runs good, I want to do those RR's and maybe pushrods soon though... I figure once I get the tranny fixed, I can slowly start rebuilding the motor, bit by bit...And with the amount of money I have to work on this with, I'll have it all done, by 2030.. hahaha

 

Haha...Just think how long Ill be working on my Ram! I'm 13 now, so the truck and I have uhh..........maybe another 60-65 years!!!! Wow, That is wired!! I'm shooting for 1,000,000 miles by 2030!!! I wonder how hard it will be to get parts for it then??!!

 

FLASH FORWARD TO 2030:
you: "Yeah I would like some plugs and wires for a 2000 Dodge Ram with the 5.9l..."
clerk: " whats that?"
you: "That's an internal Combustion V8 engine"
clerk"What's internal combustion? Is that anything like the laser ionization motors that came out prior to the dilythium plasma motors?"
you: "sigh, never mind"

 

If I would walk into AutoZone today, I would get the same answer! lol

 

Thats how I feel when I tell a parts store I drive a CJ5 with an Inline six, and it is only 28 years old.
