Apparently the 03-05 (non-EGR) Hemi's do not have a TPS switch. Off to do more research.

I can't figure out where a throttle position sensor could possibly be located if not attached to the throttle body...how would it detect the position of the throttle without touching it???...or it is not your actual problem...

You have two TPS sensors. One is on the throttle pedal inside the truck and one is part of the throttle body. The throttle body is not serviceable and would be replaced as an assembly. Either one could cause your issue but my gut tells me the throttle body would be the most likely cause. You may just want to try cleaning the throttle body. Don't let gravity or direct spray allow the cleaner to enter the electronic side of the throttle plate via the shaft. I remove mine and use a cleaner soaked rag when I do mine . After market performance units are about the same cost as an OEM replacement and the direct replacement parts house units are more reasonable now.

You may want to read this first though...
http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=356005

The throttle pedal sensor tells the CPU what the driver wants and the throttle plate sensor tells the CPU where in reality the throttle plate is. Either one should set a code but I guess it is possible to not set a code.

Is this what your throttle body looks like?

Holy Jesus.... 5 hours to track down the issue.... Apparently this truck, and ALL dodge trucks have a Freaking battery temperature sensor that sits at the bottom of the battery tray (RETARDED) and if this sensor gets old and wet/dirty/full of mud... It completely screws with the ENTIRE engine program....

The switch will shut down the entire engine/accelerator/idle speed/and everything that has to do with the engine........ It will throw codes for TPS/low idle voltage/ Accelerator low voltage/ etc.etc.etc. to include P0516,,,,P2122,,,P2299,,, and 3 others that I forgot>>> and will throw 2 more codes for the emission system...WTF??? It even would crank down my volt meter(in the dash) to ZERO then the damn CEL light will beep and blink like crazy...


Pulled the switch,,, cleaned it up,,,, slapped it back in.... Good as new...
Just thought you all might want to know:)

Dude, it ended up being a two week turnaround to the door from the time it was placed! Just call CJC off road and talk to Paul. Tell him you want what Pit Slave got. Also let him know I sent ya. ;)

Stock setup, I don't feel like messing with the coolant/washer tanks at the moment.

Need advise on Ujoints for the rear driveshaft. (05 Ram 2500 w/ 1 piece rear Dshaft) Been running the stocker's forever... Blew mine out when the axle tucked on Hot Tub in Moab. What is the best UJoint to get? What is the size? 05, I know you got experience with this:)

Installed the 1410 series on an 07, you will have to grind down the caps 5 thousandths or get snap rings that are 5 thousandths thinner. The snap rings supplied don't work, to freaking tight. I think the 1415 series fits right but read they are manufactured in china, but who knows this is the internet.

Weird... Mine went on perfectly, using the supplied clips. But I do know that there are differences throughout the years... Might be a difference between an 05 and an 07? But the spicers are tough, and made in the USA:)
