6.7L Cummins Forum

Hello to all.
I have a question for a friend of mine. He was coming from Dallas Texas when he lost accelerator function. He states that the check engine light came on, and he could not accelerate. He did disconnect the throttle connector and was able to proceed. While on the road, he paid a guy $200.00 to reset the code. They reattached the connector to the throttle and drove about 100 miles. The trouble came back. He was able to limp along ( I forgot how far he travelled) but when he arrived in Blythe California, everything cleared and the RV drove on in. Our question is: what cause this to happen. It was the first time he has had this happen. any suggestion are appreciated. Also, if you need more information. I will get it from him.
Blessings to all

I am sorry, he has the 350hp Cummins engine package in a 2004 Fleetwood American Tradition

Sounds like the truck saw something really severe and to protect the engine or transmission put the truck in limp mode. Did he get the code so we can look it up?

In an 04 at 350 HP it would probably have an ISC (8.3l) It is just an overgrown version if the 5.9l ISB (I have seen ISB (5.9's) turned up to 345 hp in motorhomes but usually the 5.9's were only 300hp and the 8.3's went from 350 up). I have seen lots of TPS problems with them and they will usually be intermittent, tracking it down may be difficult. There are also a pot load of other perameters that could cause it to go into "limp" mode too.
