Hi,
I need someone's help. Recently acquired an old RAM 750 air start with an ECU that doesn't power the glow plug. The ECU version is the one that uses compressor pressure to control RPM, not a magnetic sensor.
Would anyone have an ECU laying around they would like to sell?
If so, please email me at [email protected]
Thanks in advance!
Rob.

Any of the experts above can tell me where to get maintenance on a Jetcat engine? Don’t really want to send it abroad. I just need a quick check.

Are you getting temperature from the probe? If the ECU never sees the temp from ignition of the propane go up it will never turn on the pump to ramp up. When you pull the coils out of the glow plug make sure that the coils down in the plug are not pulled to the side and shorted inside. I saw this a week ago on a friends 750. It would not start even with a glow driver.

Andy at Electro Dynamics made those ECUs, he might be able to help, only issue is some of the components aren't made anymore.

Dreamworks handles Jetcat service stateside now.

What is the software Version of your ecu?
If you need it repaired or upgraded send it to me. If you send it to Carlos he will send it to me and it will cost you more.

Hey Bob, I have a problem with my Ram 1000 and wondering if you still service this Turbine ECU. ... Joe

rjpmodel 12-17-2020 03:34 PM

Yes. Call me at 512-897-9770

rjpmodel 12-17-2020 03:37 PM

Sorry I just looked at the whole thread. I only can service my ecu and not the early ecu that used compressure pressure

rjpmodel 12-17-2020 04:09 PM

Partshunt. I was confused looking earlier in this thread. If you have my ecu for the ram 1000 I can repair it if it has a problem. Call me at 512-897-9770.

Hello Bob, good to get your reply. The control box has a code, "open plug". The grey data cable from your ECU box continuity wise is good. However, the contacts in your ECU look good and are sprung upward at about 40 degrees. The contacts in the control box are almost horizontal and I think they lack spring pressure on the cable plug when inserted home. Can I try to to bend those contacts up to gain some pressure on the cable contacts to get a good connection because the text from RAM says the code refers to that Grey Data cable. Also, do you have a cable and socket for the control box because the cable tests good but the retainers claws are broken away.. Thanks, I will call you. ...Joe

rjpmodel 12-19-2020 05:54 AM

Hi Joe. The open plug message refers to the glow plug being open and not the control box cable. If you are seeing the menus on the screen the box cable connection is ok. Bob

rjpmodel 12-19-2020 06:07 AM

PS. Do you have a copy of the ecu manual which will describe all the messages? If not I can send you a copy over email. Bob

rjpmodel 12-19-2020 06:10 AM

PS again. What is your ecu version level and serial #. Bob

partshunt 12-19-2020 09:23 AM

RAM 1000 VER R03B
SN R05-081
I was able to rectify open plug message by your advise, I misunderstood and thinking it referred to the data cable. That display Msg. should have added "glo plug". for dummys like me, LOL.

YES YES, would like all the info you have, You can send the info matching my version above to >>> [email protected]
That grey data cable keeps falling out due to broken locking claws. Can not find the six conductor cable on the internet, dont know the cable type number. It fits the wall phone but a wall ph cable is only two conductors. Do you have a type or part number/brand for that data cable? ... Thanks.. Joe

rjpmodel 12-19-2020 03:34 PM

Joe. You have the latest ecu version and I just sent you a copy of my ecu manual. Call me to discuss the cable.

partshunt 12-19-2020 11:33 PM

Thank you Bob, I appreciate all your help. What year would my ECU be? is that the ser no of the ECU only or does it include the Turbine assy also. I will call you Sunday sometime.?

partshunt 12-20-2020 12:17 AM

Hey Bob, I do not see your copy of that ECU manual in my email, Here it is again.[email protected] Hope it works for us. We can use another email if need be... Joe

rjpmodel 12-20-2020 07:36 AM

Joe. I just resent the manual. I made a mistake on the email address. The serial # is for the ecu only and not sure of year built but it is the latest version level.
