2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Hello,My 1998.5 24v would not start after a short trip to UPS. Had the truck towed to my shop. Sat for a few days until I could get a new fuel filter and water seperator for the FASS fuel pump, installed and primed,fired right up. Died after a 15 mile trip home.Sat for a few hours until I could get a 3/4 wrench to prime again. Got it started and drove 3 miles to my home. I had a hot rod injector pump that I really did not like so I figured it was time to replace. Changed pump,fresh injectors, no start.Read codes. Found bad connector for the mapps/boost sensor,repaired, new mapps sensor also installed along with a crank sensor. Also found a bad ground to the block located …

I installed a airdog 100 and I finally install a glowshift fuel pressure gauge. I noticed the when I first ran the truck the gauge would read between 18 and 20 psi, then at times it would read between 16 and 20 lbs. Is the gauge the problem or the airdog...thanks :confused:

Had a put an external voltage regulator on my truck because the one in the pcm went bad a long time ago... anyways today the truck started to overcharge, i cought it and pulled over asap. unplugged the external regulator so the truck was just running off the batteries got about half way home and the thing died going down the road. Pulled over, checked my raptor pump and it was putting pressure to the filter housing just fine... changed filter, it was not that bad and usually they do not just make the truck die, but changed it just in case. Then it started up and drove home fine. After about 10mins of being home went to move the truck started then died right away. Started …

Anyone know what size hose is required on turbo oil return. Mine looks like it's getting kinda porous. Is it something special or just a chunk of oil resistant hose. Thanks

I just came back from a camping trip and when I was 60 miles from home towing my 30 ft fifth wheel and 12' flat bed trailer with a side X side on it, I stopped for fuel and when I pulled out of the pump I could hear a noise under the truck so I stopped and the noise quit soon after kinda sounded like exhaust spit to me. When I got back on the highway and got back up to speed everything was fine till I went for 5th and it just ground I backed off and slowed down then got back up to speed and same thing it ground in 5th. I had one shop familiar with the fifth gear nut problem say they usually make not noise at all. Does this sound like a fifth gear nut issue or worse. And f…

Hey Guys, I really need your help on this one. I have been chasing an intermittent dead pedal and hesitation issue and I'm not sure what could be causing it. It does not happen all of the time, there will be days that i drive the truck and it doesn't happen at all and other days where it happens multiple times. It doesn't matter if the engine is warm or cold either. It usually happens under acceleration, but it has happened while cruising. I will go to accelerate from a light and nothing happens when i push the pedal for about 2 seconds and then it will kinda sputter and then accelerate like normal. I put a new VP on the truck in July and after talking with Mast…

Since I kept seeing a on/off P0216 that would come and go, I came across a great deal on a new VP-44 rebuild. Do I have to have my codes cleared or will they clear up on their own? If I dont clear the codes, will my truck not operate as normal??BYW, there is an excellent Youtube guide on how to remove and install a VP-44 pump.

So does anyone own one of these or know someone who owns one of these? OR, has anyone seen anyone else with one of these? I wonder how well they perform and do their job as they should? I think that the drawback is that it has to be under the engine like it is to be driven by a belt from the harmonic balancer... http://store.dieseltruckresource.com/9fubomelipus.html

Well after some of my other posts, most know about fuel issues which got solved with new injectors. Drove amazing for what ever it was 1-2 weeks, then all of a sudden today going to work I slowed down on the off ramp at my exit started hearing and feeling this "Bad fuel knock video" Truck is very hard to start- acting like it's not getting fuel- after sitting for awhile. In video I am loading truck on trailer to bring home. This is my daily and I'm kinda up the creek without a paddle atm. Could new injector(s) be bad or injection pump took a $#!% or worse?!?! *No check engine light or codes via key flip. Edit: Update Started the truck, sm…

i have been using the carter campaign pump, for awhile now just bought the air dog2. when i installed the campaign pump i cut off the quick connect now with the new air dog it has the quick connect I NEED TO KNOW WHAT COLORS THE HOT AND GROUND ARE SO I CAN SPLICE IN NEW MALE CONNECTOR, to air dog. the two wires appear to be one white and a black with white tracer. --- Update to the previous post... The new air dog harness for the fuel pump connection has the color wires of tan and black. The company i bought the air dog from (SourceAutomotive) gave me the male connection i needed but the colors on the pig tales are black red.

She runs like you anit never seen, boys I am going to be hitting 19 mpg I just know it for a 9800 lbs truck. It runs so smooth you dont even know it's running, sounds like a electric car it's so quiet. 2 Years of misery man finally over, next I be hittin the rollers LOL.Sorry for all the excitement, I just cant get over it's finally done. 1 Million miles here I come. Well only 750k left to go.

So, I was just thinking, don't even really know what brought this up, but if IIRC, a jake brake (ie engine brake) decreases the compression in the motor, causing the cylinders to not be able to utilize the full stroke of the bore, thus regulating the output of the motor, correct?Wouldn't there be a way to do something like this, on a 24valve, using the same programming that allows the 3 cylinder high idle? just wondering, not sure if it actually shuts off the 3 cylinders, or causes the exhaust valves to open similar to an engine brake.

I was just looking at your article on the OBDLink and have a couple questions. You say it gets fuel flow from boost; however, fuel flow at 10 psi and 1500 rpms is a lot different than 10 psi and 2500 rpms. Also 10 psi at 12° of timing is going to be different fuel flow than 10 psi at 8° of timing. So how accurate is it? What did the SGII use for fuel flow calculations? Your definition, and how to calculate, volumetric efficiency is based on your fuel tank yet volumetric efficiency has nothing to do with a fuel tank. Forced induction motors often have volumetric efficiency of over 90%. 63% sounds like a 5.9L gas Dodge Ram.…

Can you get aftermarket ecm's? Cant find any on ebay.Priced one at Dodge for 1132.00 :mad

On my last recent outing With the 5ver hooked up, and pulling some of Colorado’s steeper grades like wolf creek pass that’s 9 miles and 7-9% grade with a couple hairpin switchbacks and no breaks climbing the grade to help with cooling, my trans was creeping up to 250’ before I reached the top, ( the trans temp probe is on the output line side so I am reading the hottest temp possible as it’s just leaving the torque converter) as I was nearly to the top I just kept going and let it cool at the summit, grossing around 19k, everything else was holding its own, but the transmission temps, and having a fresh tranny rebuild I need to try prolong the trans. life the best I can…

Can the valve seals be replace without removing the head from the truck? Remove rocker arms and rotate engine to TDC for each cylinder and do them one at a time?

2001.5 Dodge 2500. It's parked in stepdaughter's yard in Attleborough, Ma near Pawtucket, RI. I have a couple of days. It's leaking coolant at front of engine. It's pretty wet but the center of the wet is the water pump. I don't know who to take it to that I can trust. With my MS, I can not do my own work.

Both trucks are the same. 2001 ext cab long bed 4x4 Mine is a built auto My buddys is a NV5600 We are wanting to swap each other but don't know how to go about Wireharness/pcm. The Hard parts are easy and will just swap from one to another and work fine. he is wanting to go like it came from the factory. no rachet shift no full manual valve body. any guidance is much appreciated
