2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

I don't belive my wastegate is operating properly and I'm looking at replacing the actuator. Now for the rookie questions. Should I go for the stock replacement rated to 21psi boost or spend the money on an AFE rated to 40 psi? And . How much more boost can the stock motor with 150,000 mi take?

Hi everyone I'm trying to sort out an fueling issue that is making me too scared to drive . I put a nice fresh engine in my "00 and I'm getting a pile of white smoke at idle and 1/4 throttle. It also sounds as if I have air in the injector lines at idle. The vp44 is one off my old engine with a p0216 code so I'm wondering if it's an injector that is damaged or if the vp is having problems fueling 150hp sticks? I'm new to the Moparman site but I'm very impressed by this community thanks for the info and your time!

Another Cummins with a plugged radiator. Funny part was the front was plugged with mud. The fan side was plugged with oil from the breather. The radiator needed a good rinsing the hit with purple degreaser and soak a bit then rinse it off. It looked nearly new afterward. I yanked the old breather bottle off and install a Mopar1973Man Crankcase vent.

Well... On my way home tonight my exhaust system started to fall apart. I lost the section between the muffler and the U section over the axle. Time to give up on the old stock pipe and replace it completely. I need a 4 inch exhaust system that comes with a flow through muffler and straight pipe. I'm wanting something that is designed to combat road salt and rusting for a long time. Time to see what you all suggest for the exhaust system. At this point, my truck is parked and I'll be using the 96 Dodge Ram 1500 for the time being till I get the new exhaust or manage to make a turn down for my existing system. So I need to get to work tomorrow on @IBMobile VP44…

Totally stock right now, except airdog 100. Will the switch in MPG mode work if I have no idea if my 2001 has ever been programmed on for high idle? If I need "re-flashed" can quadzilla do this or only smarty or anything else. Last resort being the dealer? MPG...mine is two wheel drive. I keep reading about people saying they are getting well over 21 mpg. Best MPG I've ever gotten (since 2005), even using cruise control has been 18 1/2 (long hand, not overhead reading) With switch in MPG mode what's a good "guessimate" people have seen in MPG? Thanks

Was sitting at idle in the parking lot before shutting off the engine. I noticed a squeak under the hood, I know my serpentine belt was squealing a week ago after hitting a big puddle and thought that was the case, so I popped the hood and had a listen and it's not coming from the belt. It's loudest on the driver's side around the valve cover. Is there anything under the valve cover that would make a squeaking noise, injectors, valve springs, could it possibly be the vp44? I don't notice anymore smoke than usual, loss of power, and there's no blow by

Hi, Spotted these 2 connectors, 1 grey, and 1 black coming out of harness near left front side of engine. Black has what appears to be 2 contacts, and grey has 3 contacts. Picture is taken from ground, left side looking up. Thanks. Leaky

Finally happy again with my injectors and power. Many years ago, ran DAP +60hp VCO injectors, they were pretty clean usable. Then some DFI 7x.009 +100hp VCOs, clean and powerful. Then DAP 7x.009 SACs, smokey and laggy with the super b, tuner or no tuner. Now I have about 50 miles on some Contageous 7x.008 RV275 stlye +50hp SACs, very clean and powerful with no tuner, slight haze romping on it with tuner off, and only a touch of smoke till boost builds with the tuner on. Super b is definitely more laggy than the holsets, but burns clean with rpms. Smaller injectors with the tuner off is streetable down low, and then turn the quadzilla xzt after you get rolling.…

I had installed a rebuilt blackwater long block about 120K ago. at about 30K i had a leaking head gasket and installed new along with fire wire? not fire rings along with arp studs. I have easy edge and rv injectors and 4inch straight all in a 99 club cab dually 2 wheel drive,6 spd. My problem started after i had a friend drive a load for me, I have a pyro guage and light on guage is inop. so advised him not to run her over 1000 and check guage at night in the hills with a light etc. My guess is he ran it up and possibly caused my now blowby. What temp is safe? Could i have a head gasket failure causing the blowby? I understand weak rings or score does cause blowby but wo…

I have an 02 cummins ext cab short bed 4x4 with an auto. Truck was foggy and lost all power. Had codes P1698 P1689 P0237 which myself and mechanic buddy thought it was a bad vp44. So we replaced it with a new one from thouroughbred. Anyways he put it on and all the codes are still there and nothing has changed. I don't know what to do next!! Also have an airdog raptor and at WOT it still has 8psi

So, back before I deployed I used to have to wait for my WTS light to come on. Usually around 5-7 seconds. Started preparing to buy a new ECM for when I got back --- While I was gone I let my co-worker have the keys to my truck, after 2 weeks of being gone he said he killed my brand new Optima red tops that I put in 2 months prior to leaving . Luckily Advanced replaced both of them free of charge and I told him to just keep them on a trickle charger until I got back. The truck went without any kind of battery connected to it for around 5 and a half months. When I got back I put the new batteries in and fired her up and drove away. I've been driving it for about a month no…

Just wanted to touch base here and Say a Big Thank-You to Everybody! Big Blue ran fine across county last Nov! Pulled a 2 axle U-Haul across the I80 rte with out issues. Arrived in Klickitat County, Wa. after 4 days. Replacing the APS and alternator seemed to do wonders for the truck. The OSC radiator has performed very well,, even with the mercury hitting 112 here early this month! Looks like We will be heading back east in Nov, with Our destination being the Pike County, Pa area. Hope to pull a 2013-14 Dodge Avenger behind us... While I'm here, the lift pump pressure I installed last Summer is leaking out of the end where t…

So forgive me if this has already been discussed but I went back 20 pages and didn't see anything to help. 2001 HO 6-speed. FASS DRP, 75hp DAP injectors, Quad XZT+. New PCM a couple of months ago because I had been running an external voltage reg but hated the flickering lights and engine lope at idle. I replaced the vp44 with one from DAP 2yrs ago after intermittent stalling at highway speeds. Ran fine with 2-3 instances of a 1 sec miss at highway speeds last summer. thought this was possible injectors as it has 215K on originals so replaced them 7 months ago. this July when it hit 95+degrees I stepped on clutch to turn at an intersection and the truck died. …

At Les Schwab to buy a set of M-55's and switch from the old and corroded aftermarket aluminum dully wheels to stock steel and found out that my lugnuts will not work with the stock wheel and that i need to buy a set of 32 lugnuts at $11 bucks a piece. Can any one help? On a side note i am thinking of putting a second fuel tank in place of the spare tire. direct me to a old thread or chime in. My idea is to have the second tank feed into the stock one, so when the stock tank gets dry flip a switch and refill it with the second tank.

Started up my truck a few weeks back and I heard a loud pop and hiss...I thought it was just an issue with fuel as the truck was sitting for awhile. Get back in it a week later and run AC and it's not blowing cold at all so I blew something up. Hopefully just a hose. Any way to pressurize the lines with air to leak check?

I have an NP 241 DHD that has 2 cracks in the back of the case. All i am seeing for sale is NP 241 DLDs. Does anyone know if that back of the cases are interchangeable? Thanks Matt

So I installed my 7x.0105 injectors last weekend but ran out of time to do my airdog and sump. It always seems to be the boss lady has stuff for me to do when I want to work on my truck so yet again I'm only left with Sunday to play. was a pretty straight forward install on the injectors seeing as my day job is a diesel tech so was a walk in the park for me. Had them in and set the overhead in about 2 hours. Truck runs awesome, but I'm glued to my FP gauge and getting on it obviously the pressure was dropping more than I liked. Drive it nice and it stayed right around 10 psi. Still I needed to install the airdog just was waiting for the weekend to come. I gather…

I was under the truck today for other reasons and turns out my slave cylinder is leaking! I know they're easy to replace, and relatively cheap at NAPA, but has anyone else had this happen? Seems so strange for the slave to start leaking, but then again the truck is mad it's been sitting...

Well thinking my VP44 died during injector install. Background; Truck 2001 Dodge 2500 5.9 with 302K miles, DS Power puck, and FASS DDRP-02 that delivers 17.5 psi at idle and 15 psi at WOT. I replaced my tappet cover gasket about two months ago and needed to remove the VP44 at the time, looked at the data plate, and thought I took a picture of it, but didn't. It looked to be the original VP44, didn't notice and rebuild information. Restart went as expected bleed the system, cranked several time fired and ran fine. Then about a couple weeks ago, I decided to install a set of Bosch RV275 injectors. Install went as expected, torqued hold down bolts to 89 i…
