Anybody have any experience reviving one of these guys or should I just disassemble to recover the CD’s being held hostage.


No I didn’t drop it.
This guy might be able to fix it for you.

Its an RDS tank. Check out https://3gtoolboxes.com/

And yes, the valve before a bump is a solenoid valve to stop the flow of fuel and prevent a siphon effect.

Looks nice. All of the RDS aux tanks I was looking at were gravity feed. Didn't know they offered a power setup unless that was something you did on your own?

Can't help with getting the CD's out, but if you need another unit let me know.

Just need to make sure the tank has a pick up straw. I called and talked to RDs about it and they had no issues including one for me. From there you need a 12v pump the selonid valve and some hose. Pretty straight forward.

Thanks for the offer but it probably wouldn’t survive the shipping.

Disassembled and removed the CD’s today.

Probably going to go with a double din CD head unit with Bluetooth for phone and music. The one I’m looking at also has back-up camera.

Edit: Forcefully disassemble the CD portion.
Radio still works though when you plugged it back in.

Super happy with ATOTO A6 Pro and this S8 Ultra doesn’t suck. I added the USB ports in dash to connect to (2) of the ports on this S8.

CD’s are so 1980’s man. Who still uses this antiquated technology??? New cars don’t even come with CD players anymore! I can use a thumb drive (1000% more durable and therefore more reliable) to play music if I’m not streaming it. I don’t miss my scratched up CD’s at all.

I nearly bought into Sony’s MiniDisc back in the day. It’s a good thing I was still a poor high school student and couldn’t afford it. Like all formats Sony invented (like Betamax), it fell by the wayside.

Just went out to start the truck to pull it out of the shop for a bath.

No Bueno!!!

Ran FORScan and came up with this.



Not sure where to start. Don’t have an owners manual. I did change the #30 and still no go.

No bulb check

What is the mechanical/technical description of "no bueno"?

What happened when you turned the ignition to ON and then START?

Did the WTS light come on?

Do you have a GPR LED?

Is there oil in the pan?

Did the fuel pump come on?

Did the starter crank?

We need more details in order to help.

EDIT: There are two no start flow charts in the 7.3L PSD Tech Folder if you want to start there.

I will dig into the No start flow charts and start to rule things out.

Wondering if my immobilizer gave up the ghost and put my truck in a permanent no start.

The fact that the PCM is not talking to FORScan at all is worrisome.

PCM isn’t talking to the Hydra either.

You said you changed 30, fuse I assume? Was it blown?

No it wasn’t. Plus fuel bowl heater is disconnected.

Just wanted to be sure before I started digging into it.

Also checked Fuse 22 under hood. It’s good.

Just pulled the Hydra, no change.

Gonna have to get further into it tomorrow.
