2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Thought I would put in needle valve in fuel pressure line, I'm using elec gauge. In the directions, Auto meter (gauge maker) says in couple different places says to use snubber. I like the idea of needle valve, if nothing else valve can used as shut off valve to that line. Still going to put in snubber (just to be safe) . 100 DF air dog. Branching off fuel line about where motor meets trans. Question........... The Needle valve, where is best position? All the way open or slightly open? Or just play with it a bit to find best position? Your thoughts please.

I've owned my Dodge for over 4 years now, and have upgraded the lift pump, which is the raptor 100 gph on the side of the block, edge ez, 4 inch exhaust, and I believe it has at least 60hp injectors that were installed by the previous owner. I am at 400 rwhp now, tested at the hunting for horse power up in cda. My question that I am asking, why is my fuel pressure dropping down 5psi at WOT? I have spent many hours trying to find information on this, and its hard to get a definite answer. the Diesel mechanic I take my truck to says its normal, but I know its not, especially since my truck will start to stutter if I let off the pedal after stomping into it for to long( by n…

Well I hate to say that word head gasket, but I got oil bubbling out of front right, by head bolt just to the right looking from front( I got ARP's from po. ) It bubbles tiny little bit from head gasket and running down front cover, not enough to drip on the ground yet. Wondering where is a good place to get parts from, like a gasket set and whatever else I may need. Though about mabe going through the turbo but want to up size to at least a hybrid, so might just leave it be. Another thing is I already have ARP studs but not sure which ones, how do I tell, I know there is more than one choise. Will need to know torque on them when putting the hradon backnowledge on. Can I…

I can't seem to get my switch to work. I just left a friend and the local dodge house and he varied that the high idle was on. What do I do to get it to work?

I am have a problem where my APPS never reads 100% throttle. I am going to try and keep this short. The truck is basically stock except for a Quadzilla Adrenaline. The stock APPS sensor started acting up in Jan. It was causing the truck to die will driving and lurk forward while stopped. I replaced it. I thought everything was good. 2 weeks ago the truck started doing some hesitating. Maybe once every 4 days or so. Then started doing it more will throwing the CEL, P0121. The truck would die and then once the idle was low would act like nothing happened. I took the APPS back and got a new one. Then notice while it was hooked to a computer that the throttle at full…

It was finally time for front rotors and pads so I went ahead and did the 3rd gen caliper brackets, rotors and pads. I've ordered the brake line kit @jlbayes suggested a Russell 694540 as well. All I can say is it's well worth doing! Thanks @trreed for the positive report back after doing the conversion and towing with them...and I "borrowed " your pad comparison picture from your thread.

Just wanted to post my experiences here for others to learn from my mistakes! Went through my 1500 mile trans filter change and band adjustment yesterday. All went relatively smooth, front band adjustment was pretty straight forward. Draining the fluid was a synch with the Goerend pan and drain plug. Dropped the pan and adjusted the rear band, installed new filter and got everything else plugged up. Put back in the fluid and fired up the truck, let sit for 30 seconds or so, and went to head around the block. As soon as the truck went to shift into 2nd it felt like the truck was trying to throw me through the windshield! Slowed down and tried to spe…

OK so I recently rebuilt my 47re and have just over 1000 miles on it now . right around the 800 mile mark I started getting a pretty noticeable 2-3 bind up and I've been chasing my tail trying to catch it ever since.when I rebuilt the transmission I originally put in a superior front servo, the one with the sleeve and 2 o rings that restricts the release oil flow. I thought that was my problem so I swapped it out for a new billet double ring, double spring servo with billet cover. That didn't cure it either. I'm all ears at this point, everybody I've talked to says go with the TCS servo and there 4.2 lever and it'll go away. But I'm not ready to drop the trans to change t…

Ok i was just at the parts store and see the valvoline 75w90 syn oil tjat states its gl-4 compatable, any info on weather this will work in a nv4500

I picked up a nv4500 for a great price but the guy kept the square to top cover and trans came with a early style with the intergrated shifter stub, my question is can the internals out of the top be swaped in to a square top

Hi, Anyone know a source for buying RAM chips for Cummins ECM 3942336? Thanks. Leaky

well gentlemen you guys say use the parts lookup but I cant find it useful so if anyone knows where I can find a 47re solenoid or whatever and pretty much service my transmission thanks ahead

Well I thought maybe my Ecm fuse cracked or something the day I hit the water but now yesterday my ecm fuse blew again. Wasn't doing anything other than just driving down the road. The heck could be causing this and is it something common or is something I'm going to have to beat my head on the truck while trying to fix it. This pretty much guarantees I'll be selling it too. Tired of having to fix something every time I want to drive it.

I am having trouble finding a full wiring schematic/diagram for my 2001 dodge 5.9L 24 valve Cummins engine. I found a link that could've been what I need, but it says the download is no longer avaliable : Thank you!

Is there anyone near ft worth Tx that has a s03 that I can use to flash my truck to enable high idle?

Since I got the truck back on the road abouta year ago I have been fighting cooling problems. FYI the truck sat torn apart for almost 3 years and endured me moving twice during the process. When I first got it going it started to overheat sitting in the driveway at idle on a 95° day. I found a bad water pump replaced that and flushed the system. I try to flush the system once a year, after I replaced the pump I was good or so I thought. The truck would sit at 190 and with a large trailer it would creep up but never overheat and it was only at slow speeds. I replaced the clutch in the fan and made an improvement and now when the engine revs up you can here th…

Well, was crawling around under the truck installing my Timbren's noticed two holes in the exhaust. Maybe a BB size hole in a couple of the welded seams. Is this something I should change out sooner then later? Or would I be good waiting until I get around to it?

My 4 wd is not engaging. I have tried searching with no luck. Must not be entering the right words. The dash light does not come on. My mind has drawn a complete blank on what to look for! I know it is something simple! Thanks

Hello I'm new to site and did not search through the posts but found this site via YouTube from a Video called "24V VP44 Cummins Stand-alone rewire" I saved a couple Cummins Engines from 2 Bread Trucks my Buddy was scrapping and might have to make em run to sell them. If I was a little younger I might do something with these because I like Black Smoke! First engine I'm going to putz with to see how it runs is a 2002 ISB with 54 block. It has IP and Turbo and was told it runs from the mechanics who worked where this truck came from but still want to see blow by..etc It's missing stuff so don't to get into buying too much stuff. It's missing the line…
