2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Yup after all the years and miles driven I've had a bad speaker on the passenger side. @Tweety Bird said, "Get this fixed! Time to get new speakers in Beast!" @Tweety Bird and I went to a stereo shop in Lewiston ID to look at speakers and prices. Great quality is really pricey say like $350 for a pair of speakers that really sound rich in frequency. Being budget mined I jumped over to Amazon and found. Kicker Dodge Ram Truck 1994-2011 Speaker Bundle - CS 6x9 coaxial Speakers, and CS 5.25" coaxial Speakers. Yeah Dodge and there strange wiring schemes. I'll list out the positive and negative wiring for each speaker. You can see I cut the factory OEM speaker plug off and…

Need some help. I have an issue with my truck where it will progressively hiccup then stall. Truck is a 99' 2500 auto 4wd shortbed If I start the truck and change to gear, after 4 minutes truck will start hiccupping and it will hiccup in intervals of exactly 5.4 seconds where they progressively get worse. After about a dozen or so it's bad enough that it's able to stall. If I start and stay in idle, wait 5 minutes, change to gear, it will immediately stall. The predictability is truck start -> 5 minutes pass -> will stall. However: I can circumvent it by applying and holding throttle for about 5-10 seconds. If I do this before, during, or after that hiccupping …

Hello, I am new here. my son bought a O2 24 valve Cummins a number of months ago without knowing much about it history. We've been trying to figure out what's going on with this ghost revving. Without touching the gas pedal after you start it it'll start quickly jumping up to higher RPMs sometimes getting a little scary and staying there. It worried us enough to where we brought it to our local mechanic.. he had it for over a month flushed all the fluids and did some other maintenance, but ultimately couldn't figure out the main problem we brought it in for. I've had it back home for a couple weeks and I have ordered and installed a new genco alternator., installed a new…

So.. if you haven't checked it out... do... Android and Apple... That being said, do the fuel lanes for semi's have DIFFERENT diesel than the auto lanes? I've been using the APP and filling up at the SEMI lanes but have lost about 3mpg when I do... SEMI lanes gets me 15 mpg and auto lanes get me 18ish MPG.... WHERE I get the fuel is the only difference.. Comments?

2000 2500 Dana 80 rear axle. What should my pinion bearing preload measure with tires and brake drums removed. I forgot to measure it before taking it apart.

Good afternoon, I put a titanium fass lift pump along with a Fleece sureflo sending unit on my 2001 pickup about a year and a half ago. It’s been flawless for a few thousand miles. I had been noticing some slow starts when warm. Not bad just a few more revolutions than what was normal. I put some NAPA cross referenced fuel filters on because I didn’t have FASS replacements and didn’t have the time to wait . I started to take a trip recently and fuel pressure dropped significantly. I got the truck home and parked it for a month . I wasn’t real confident about the NAPA filters so i replaced with the direct replacement FASS filters. Test drove the truck for an hour or so and…

The purpose of this thread, at least in its infancy, is to document what is happening and my plans of action to fix it. I feel like its a 'rare' problem (in that I cant find another thread with the exact same issue), it is certainly unique! As of the day of this rambling, the truck is just under 114k miles. 2001 2500, auto, stock, 4x4, loaded, etc.. Previously I had a thread wherein my grandpa still owned the truck and he was having the usual TC/OD issues. Never really did figure out what was causing that as the descriptions I had to work with were challenging at best, but I did the TPS signal wire TEE mod earlier this year, or whatever its called, from the TPS directly…

I’m pretty sure this has been covered, but I can’t find it. So the way I understand this the alternator feed into the PDC is eliminated. There is a 140 amp fusible link between the two hot leads going into the PDC what is the purpose of this? Do I need to bring that second lead going into the PDC to the driver side battery or is this not needed?

Can someone please direct me to the write up on this or share a link. I’ve been all over looking for it.

Greetings, Long time listener, firl time caller here. TLDR: When cold, the transmission sometimes stalls the engine, but only once. Trans new - Firepunk, billet torque converter. EDIT - No Codes present Video with the issue posted on bottom of this post. So I recently moved back to the states from a long stint living overseas, and I picked up a 99 4x4 A/T truck. Power wise, the truck is completely stock apart from an Edge EZ the PO installed. Everything was great, except the trans would not lockup in O/D. Following many suggeestions from here that could have an effect on the lockup, I realized this was a torque converter issue. I ended up deciding to bite the bullet an…

So my insulation between my tappet cover and ecm was completely shot. I'd there a real need to replace this?

I've seen that some of the tappet covers have a breather on them. Mine has a little box the sticks out near the back, with a plate there on the inside. No clue on the purpose of that. But just wondering if there would be any reason to add a breather there like some have

I’m having troubles finding a wiring diagram for the main harness into the power distribution center on a 2001 Dodge cummins. See attached photo. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Beast lost his hydrobooster while my wife and I were down in Boise. While I was down in Boise, I made the call and got a hydrobooster ordered, thinking just direct replacement. Nope! Be aware... The documents in the box from NAPA are very clear; you need to swap parts from your old unit to make the new unit work. The shaft that pushes the master cylinder, you might have to swap as I did. The new shaft was 10mm too long, which is the brake dragging issue. Then the rubber boot on the input shaft has be pryed off the input shaft collar. Yea! I got that. Then, the adapter plate that mounts the brake reservoir / master cylinder. The removal was fairly straightforward. 15…

I'm sorry, gang, I've been randomly missing in action from time to time, but with everything going on, it's tough to be at home for long periods, then when I'm home, to get wrapped up with the dirt work all this last summer. Winter weather is coming, I need a 4wd truck! With winter setting in, @Tweety Bird and I will be home more! Cancer-wise wise I'm doing well, 1.5 years clean of cancer. Beast made the 500k milestoneNow Beast is going to require some work to get fixed up, being I've abused the old truck for a while, being short on funds during my cancer treatment. I've got a list of things I need to do, and I want to get busy with a little bit of funds to fix Beast. T…

For those who own trucks with a CAD (center axle disconnect) front axle, this article will explain the benefits of remotely controlling the CAD operation and will also provide information on how to make the modification. For those who are not familiar with a front axle CAD unit, the following description may help. OEM vehicle - manually shifted transfer case (with CAD) - Theory of Operation The CAD front axle has three axle shafts - a driver side axle shaft, a passenger side axle shaft, and a short center axle shaft. The passenger side axle shaft and the center axle shaft can be connected or disconnected by the CAD unit. The center axle shaft is called the intermediate…

Hello, I recently bought another truck non running of course, price was good and truck is clean and no rust so I figured why not. I’m going to try an explain everything thoroughly start to finish. The previous owner (diesel mechanic) bought it off a customer and tried to get it running. He lost interest. He had told me the only way he got the truck to run was he cut the bus wires in the injection pump. When I started investing I found the dash harness to be the wrong one, truck is fully loaded heated leather and had a basic dash harness in it. It appeared someone swapped the dash out. (Will make sense later keep reading) I found the correct dash harness for the truck par…

Good morning everyone! Here’s the story, might be a little long but I want to give every detail so it makes it easier, bought an 01 24valve auto off a used car lot not running dirt cheap. Guy didn’t seem to understand these trucks. Only mods are a fass DDRP, nothing else truck has 140k, and a new reman trans, very carefully inspected truck and no prior meatball repairs or hacked wiring. upon first arriving at the lot here’s what I did. - trucks battery terminals were beat/ corroded, managed to get them tight and partially clean -found fuel relay missing out of fuse box under hood, swapped with horn relay and truck fired, ram very poorly but was enough to get on …

Anyone with a quadzilla use the factory tunes? I’ll be getting a tune from 1badvp44 here soon but in the meantime was gonna use the factory ones. I tow and daily drive and was curious if anyone had a preferred level for it. I’m coming from an edge juice that I usually left on 2 or 3. I picked up the quadzilla after many reads on here and Cummins forum. I have studied the tuning guide and I don’t have much understanding after reading it. My trucks a 98.5 with a 5 speed and stock tires with upgraded clutch and a FASS. With my edge, Level 2 was my tow/daily tune and 3 was when I was around the city, and of course 5 was when I was messing around. I don’t really have a compari…

Hello everybody, I used to have a Quadzilla Xzt and had the 3000 tune on it and I just got another Xzt and I was wondering how or if I I can put the 3000 tune on my new one. Thanks
