Introductions

Hi... been a member for a while but after a lot of emails reminding of no posts I decided to get on it. So Hi from the UK or to be more specific pretty much right in the middle of England. I imported my first gen 2 myself, 3500 4x4 5.9 petrol ( gas)..... it was at the twin towers cutting steel after 911. It was at a truck dealer in canada when I bought it and moved it back to NJ and shipped it over here Just got a 98.5 2500 24v cummins 4x4 bought here.....I have to say my 3500 is smooth, I have owned it for 14yrs, i've used it as a dump truck while I built a house, It can easily pass all euro pickups any where and out tow, out carry in absolute…

I've been a member for a while now, but I'm not one of the computer savy folks so I haven't done much but read. I have a 2001 Dodge 3500 dually 5 speed. It quit on me about 3 months ago...just died like you turned off the key. I figured It was electrical...but started checking the fuel first and for the record I knew nothing going In about the electrical system on this truck and not much about the fuel system. At any rate I found metal In the fuel/water filter and then realized that the lift pump was bad...or at best going bad. I bought a Raptor pump to install by the filter then realized that this truck had been retro fitted by Dodge with a tank pump. I pulled the tank a…

hey everyone, new to the cummins forum thing. I've used multiple diesel forums as search tools but never joined one. I have owned my first and only diesel for three years now. it's a 2001 24v with 47re and 4x4. i'm located around the Indianapolis area. it's been a constant struggle of fixing/replacing things as they go out and it seems all plastic or rubber parts are wearing out and i'm fixing one leak after another. the truck just tipped over 250,000 miles a couple days ago. it's had all new braking system put in from the master cylinder to lines and calipers. new tires, batteries, sump pump on fuel tank, tappet gasket, front wheel hub assemblies, drag link/tie rod. the …

Thanks for letting me onto your forum. I have been lurking for many years absorbing information and knowledge. Think I finally signed on here back in 2016. life is a lot about learning and listening. As a mechanic at heart, cars and airplanes I like to scan through the files often, always things to learn. As a profile I am 70 years old, bought a 1999 Dodge 4 X4 diesel with automatic transmission in late 1998. I tow a 10,000 lb fifth wheel out West. I have 130,000 miles on the truck now with about 70,000 miles of it towing and it has only been into a dealer one time in its life to receive and updated flash. I do all my own maintenance and repair. Shortly after I b…

Just wanted to say hey. Have got a lot of good info from this site, from turbos to transmissions. Mopar1973man is very knowledgeable about the dodge cummins. Has helped me a lot on my 01 2500 rebuild.

I had an email invite to post an intro and forgot to, then I responded up forum to a question so thought I'd poke my head in here and say "Hi". This is my 4th Dodge CTD, my 2nd '01 and my 2nd one with an auto trans. I bought my first '01 (w. manual trans) new off the lot, drove it for 7 years and 60K miles and traded it for an SUV for my wife. Two years later I bought a used '08 w. auto trans and traded it a month later for an '05 w. manual. I drove that one for 6 years and 55K miles. Two months ago I bought this '01 with 193K miles and found this forum while researching the auto trans. I figured this transmission has been around lo…

I have a problem I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 24v three-quarter ton long bed 5 speed 4 wheel drive and the RPMs and everything worked perfectly fine until about 5th gear it starts surging between 65 and 70 miles an hour and I'm trying to find out why

Just saying Hi. Have had my 2003 2500 for 13 years. Good info here thanks

I purchased a TST Tuner from this guy in La. keep it for a few months to try and pay off my pay pal account. Was going to get that plate that is mounted on top of the VP-44 with a stud that screwed into the power wire. Well my wife got with our Daughterinlaw and the next thing I know there is a guy at the house really wanting to buy my truck. Anyway, he drove it home, I was very upset to say the least. She sold it for less then $5,000. So now l have this tuner for sale, I will sell it for what I payed for it. Remember it will only fit a 1999.5. It comes with instructions, wire harness and it is NOT VIN specified. It will work on any 1999.5 dodge 24V 5.9L Cum…

Happy 4th of July! I'm Kevin from Caldwell Idaho. Been reading lots of great info on this forum since I purchased a 2000 Dodge Cummins from my Dad about 6 months ago. It seems a lot of you guys know these trucks inside and out! Mopar1973man thanks for taking the time to make this place happen. We might cross paths up on US95, I spend a lot of my free time in the Council-Cuprum area. I have a few plans for the truck: 1) better torque converter control ( I have questions! Will start a new post soon) 2) steering-replace worn components. It's a bit of a handful to keep it between the lines! 3) pop-up camper. Four Wheel Camper bran…

Hello all. New member from Georgia. Have owned 3 Cummins trucks over the last 12 years. Currently own a 2007.5 3500 SRW CCSB with Southbend clutch, Smarty S67. Just bought a 99 3500 DRW Auto truck with 250 K miles. Trying to get to know this truck so I can use it to tow my tractor to and from my property/hobby farm. Really glad to have found this community as it seems to be active and have learned quite a lot about 2nd gen platform. Hope I can contribute to the knowledge as well. Ben

Hello, first time being on a forum. Just bought the Iquad adrenaline to replace edge with attitude. Installation seems to be exactly the same as edge except extra power wire to battery. Hooked up red/white wire to fuse slot #9, power to gauges all came on without key being in truck. Truck will not start, unless I unplug this wire and turn Iquad off. Any ideas where I may have gone wrong with installation?

Hello all. New to the site and thankful for finding a bunch of likeminded people. This is my 5th Cummins it’s a 2002 6spd 2500 longbox 4wd. About to turn over 500,000 kms (Canada). Love it and it does everything I need it to but recently I’ve been noticing what feels like an awful lot of axle wrap while towing. I got to tearing into it yesterday and found a couple loose u bolts but worse is that the factory lift blocks under the leaf packs seem to be walking off the axle perch. It it must have been happening for a bit because both the block and the perch are misformed now. My question is do I buy a new lift block and hope for the best or eliminate…

Hello new to this. I have a 2001 dodge ram 3500 6 speed had 264xxx on it when I first got it. Now has 317xxx. Me and a friend put a new short block in it at 303xxx and many more including 75hp injectors, new trans and new t-case. Now just need to get a bit bigger turbo to feed the injectors.

New member with new to me truck,. Should be in my sig if I set it up right. This is my second Cummins with the first being a 92 D250. I like working on and upgrading my pickups. Lot of new things to learn on the vehicle and about posting and such. I really like the information in this forum on alt AC noise Tc lockup, makes sense the way you guys explain it with no bs. Before I read this I had started changing battery cables and such, now I will improve it even more. My neg cable on the drivers side looked ok, but when I opened it up was corroded pretty bad inside. I am sure most factory ones are similar after 18 years.

Hello, joined the forum recently and have been lurking over the years. Ordered the truck in my signature January 1999 and received delivery April 1999 with the intention of driving for 20 years or 400,000 miles, whichever came first. With 19 years and 253,000 miles on the clock I can sincerely say I have enjoyed every mile driven in the truck. The Dodge/Cummins has been so reliable and fun to drive I'm planning on keeping the truck well into the future! Been doing my own maintenance since NEW and have changed the oil and rotated the tires myself every time! And with the many things to learn on this forum I'm confident problems/repairs/fixes can be sorted out wit…

Came here to get some help with tuning my truck with the quadzilla. The roads here are still covered in salt so shes still hiding in the garage and also waiting for parts to arrive

Hey everyone, I've owned my 99 cummins for a little over a year now, its got the adrenaline, 5" straight pipe, i was told injectors, but not sure, was told some tranny work, and again, not sure!! Feels good though....raptor lift pump aem intake also. I'm getting almost no black smoke outta this thing, anybody know why?? Pulls like crazy! Fuel pressure is about 14 at idle, but dives down pretty rapidly the farther you push the pedal... down to about 5.
