2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

I've been on the fence about using 2 stroke oil...Until today. I like to fill up on fuel when gauge is around 1/2. Questions... 1. Is your formula 1 oz per 1 gallon? 2. When filling your tank around 1/2 do you pour in 15 oz all at once or ....??? What is your method. Thanks

Hello, I have followed this forum for years but just joined today. Because i've got a sad sad story. I hope you guys dont get this code. Looking for some help maybe. Reading over the forums from this site and cumminsforum, i now fear my ecm has died. Truck running fine after 45 min freeway drive. Get off freeway and truck starts to act funny. Gauges going ape ****(including temp gauge going full hot and then back to cold). Pedal goes more and more unresponsive. (dead pedal). Rpm's are uncontrolled. Truck Rpm all over the place. Truck lost its marbles. In limp mode with rms going full retard.(never go full retard) limp it…

Looking for a working around solution for 1/4 tank issues. Fuel is thru a sump that is at very rear of tank. When going down step hill I run out of fuel. (Actually when wife stops at mail box on our step driveway) Now she is scarred to death she'll be going downhill and run out of fuel and no power steering. I would like to install something that has more of "supply" of fuel than the small filters on airdog. Thinking about a filter housing without the filter installed, which would be just a space for more fuel than the airdog filters provide. I'm thinking about something about the 1/2 gallon size. Question...this should work i…

Found this trouble a couple of places but no for sure solutions. Mileage on truck is 87,453 and is stock all the way. No trouble in the past. Just Oil, filters, tires and battery. Bought new in late 1999. Old and retired but I like my truck and need to fix it soon so help. Replaced the lift pump and filter, checked the APPS voltages and are OK, engine starts quick and idles perfectly. Touch the accelerator pedal and rpm jumps to approx. 1400 and that is all. Foot off pedal, goes back to idle. MIL (engine light) on & all other lights work normal. Wait to start on and times out as usual. Code P1689 is all that reads. HELP PLEASE.

Ok guys as some know I had to install a re man nv5600 last October, just recently I have a issue with 4th popping out randomly, excessive noise in neutral with the clutch relieced, a small thunk when changing gears, and now the out put seal between the trans and transfer case is leaking, does t th is sound like a major failure conning on in the trans

Anybody know if the manufacture of our blocks makes any difference concerning the killer dowel pin? I've don't have number 53. Only have very small numbers. Supposedly Mexican block. But wondering if both blocks have KDP problem or just one or the other. I'm coming up on 100,000 miles, maybe not worth the hassle of checking KDP anyways. When do most dowel pins fall out? Thanks

Hi Guys! 1st want to say a BIG THANK-YOU to all RE the Timbo, new alternator etc! Running well, but low fuel pressure at VP44. So dropped the tank and found the bottom of the "module" screens were clogged. Local Dealer has no parts other than New In-Tank pump system, and recommended gentle cleaning with a soft tooth brush and brake cleaner fluid. While Gently cleaning the the bottom screens, the top one ripped. My wrench guy removed the little spring unit that seemed to fit between the screens. (I think I said that right.) We then put the new float level unit on and after cleaning the bottom screen, re-attached it. But He did not p…

Just got a renew email invoice for my high idle switch out of the blue. Why? Sorry that I started new thread for simple question.

Ok, so I been trying to search on this and I haven't found anything exact! truck was running perfect. 2 days ago pulled into drive way and got out of truck to run in house and white smoke barreling out of exhaust (ALOT)!! shut off truck restarted and same thing with really rough idle.. took it around the block slow acceleration boost is way late and constant white/grey smoke won't clear up even when turbo spools up, and popping out of exhaust at high rpm.. no codes with key trick pertaining to pump just 0500 and 0234.. odd thing to me from searching is no codes and it will fire right up everytime I start it. No CEL. I pulled the injectors Sunday took them apart cl…

I have recently developed a distinct random tapping noise from the engine it normally does it at running temp and is more noticeable at idle. Could this be a injector, cam follower? I hope its not a piston skirt. What's ur all take on this

Hello and thank you in advance for any help in this matter. I have a 99 2500 Ram 4wd At SLT Laramie 24v my vp44 died so I bought a complete 02 motor with a thrown rod. I put put on my 99 motor the vp44, complete harness and sensors all of them from new motor , ecm , and the fuel filter can ( newer ones nicer) pulled the cam gear off 99 and installed the 02 cam gear with the grid ring , I left the crank sensor in the hole in block ( no plug for it on new harness of course ) im still using my 99 pcm ,my tach works everything actually seems to working fine. Except the motor is running like a dog and has a idle surge from 800-…

Ok fellas i am in need of a 98.5 24v ecm. Would any one in Colorado have a good spare

For the un-educated, like myself ...what are the plus and minuses of going from VP44 to a “P pump” or a "VE pump on a 2001? Recently talking with a guy that loves his. But he is into lots of horse power and mod’s. For the a stock everyday driver would the change be any good? I’m totally confused. He was talking VE and P pumps. Is going to a “P pump” or “VE pump” a horse power or dependability mod? Or maybe not even a upgrade and just create more problems? I did a search online and seemed to me people heavy into mods, a different type of pump might help them. But not sure about someone like myself that just wants to remove as many known weakness and hass…

These wires were bare and the plastic falLing off is this mud problem Sorry picture didn't post but it's wires on vp 44 I was fixing to remove it too see if it could be re soldered and its touching and wires bare

well, everytime I start talking good about my truck, she let me down again. Started smelling antifreeze, and saw a drip underneath drivers side, thought the petcock might be leaking but further looking I found a pin hole, but anyway, Does any one have any recommendations on a replacement, the only one available around here is ORielys for about 230. bucks, Just don't want to short myself on a cheap radiator since I do some towing and all,

What's the best place to get some exhaust to make my stock 3 inch into straight pipe , or if I was going to buy a straight pipe where should I purchase

New guy here, first time diesel owner. Somebody traded in a 02 2500 6spd 4x4 at work with 163k. It was going to be wholesaled so I got a pretty good deal on it. I've been reading everything I can trying to familiarize myself with the truck, but I do have some questions. It appears to be completely stock with the exception of a boost gauge that was mounted in one of those pillar pods. I didn't care for the location of it, so I removed it and currently have no boost gauge. Since the truck had no boost gauge from the factory and my plans, at least for the foreseeable future is to keep it stock, is it okay to not have a boost gauge. I'm not heavy footed and …

Ok guys i have a 98 24v that won't start. I have checked all fuese and relays , lift pump , crank shaft position sensor was just replaced. I an not getting a wait to start light on dash or the lift pump does not run when hooked up to the pig tail.

My fuel tank is out right now and my fuel gauge is not very accurate. Thinking now would be the time to change fuel sender, being tank is already dropped. Question...to test the new sender before installing tank back up... can I extend the wires using jumpers maybe 4 feet to test new sender that would be laying on ground about 3 feet away, fill up maybe ¼ and turn on key , repeat at ½ to make sure new sender is working OK before I put tank back up? Is that a "go" or some reason I shouldn't? Thanks

I dropped the fuel tank today to clean up extra hoses and tubes and fix a small leak at the sump. I had no idea I had so much stuff on top of the tank. The end of the straw is probably a match head of inch from bottom of tank. What is your best guess of why a draw straw would be installed one day and next day after installing it says he is going to install a sump? Thanks
