i got a powermax 3 on my 98.5 ram 3500 my ? is i dont feel any diffrance in power from level 0 to level 9 does anyone have an idea wat could be the problem i think it might be missing something but i cant find any info that says im missing something thanks for the help

 

I'm new to THIS forum but it's odd no one said anything since november. If you go to TST's website and click on the PowerMax 3 for the description...they have a pdf copy of the installation instructions. In those instructions it has a troubleshooting guide. But, it also has a section that has you check individual voltages on the powermax3's connector to help you narrow it down even further...

 

Fill out your sig too, let us know what mods you're running. Do you have an aftermarket lift pump supplying your VP? If not you may not be getting proper fuel supply to your pump.

 

its getting fuel but both me and my brother think its electrical tomarrow we are going to completely remove it and reinstall it and see wat it does

 

first off let me ask you some questions,

first do you have all 3 lights on the powermax lighting up? there should be 3, 1 green(fueling, will only light when PM3 is turned on and when its actually changing the fueling of the vp44) 1 yellow( boost connection light, should be lit all the time except when truck is off) 1 red which is the power LED showing you have the box toggle switch on.

If you dont have any of these lights pm me and ill walk you through the troubleshooting steps myself. Im currently working for TST so ill help as best i can.

we got it it was bad connections with the scotchlocks just got loose messed with them took it out for a test drive ran 10x better got home fixed the connections before i could turn it to level 9 and drive it with no problem now i cant turn it up past 4 with out the tranny slipping but its fueling harder its smoking and when the tranny doesnt slip it hooks and takes off

 

GARBAGE!

 

Agreed, this is why TST has gone to posi-taps, much much better connections and reliablity.

 

ive had the same problem i installed my power max 3 and i cant feel any diffrence in the power even at level 9 and i have no smoke at all i checked all the connections and they seam to be good i have the yellow and the red light on the box working but no green light on the box but the green light on the remote comes on and indicates its adding fuel

 

Do what i did and go through and soder all the connections mine wasnt getting proper signal and did that has worked ever sense no problem
