2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Ok my 01 has developed a howling noise (think wind blowing). I'm 99% sure it the turbo because its from the passenger side of the truck and the noise continues for the 3-5 seconds after I kill the engine. I have read that it could be the waste gate stuck close, and I've checked the manifold bolts, some were maybe a half turn loose but still no change in the sound. I've checked the plumbing going to the intercooler and to the intake, all the clamps are tight. Unfortunatley I dont have a boost gauge so I cant tell if the psi has changed. I'm out of ideas. Not sure if its coincidence or not but the noise first appeared after my brother borrowed the truck and ran it low on oi…

I have a GS fuel psi gauge I have been using since I installed my FASS pump 7 years ago. Since I installed the FASS it has always hovered around 14-15psi with the sensor mounted on the pump. When I got my Edge tuner I added a second sensor in the line 12" before the VP44 and it also hovered around the same level. When I got the quad, I used the same sensor I was using with the Edge as it plugged right in. A few days ago my GS gauge began reading 0psi, I pulled up the Quad fuel reading for the first time and noticed it was around 25psi which I thought was odd but figured I had pressure so I'm good. While trying to figure out the GS gauge issue I noticed my FASS wouldn…

Hey guys, being from Canada BC, the floods have been pretty bad and i had to drive through some pretty deep stuff for about a whole minute. i made sure to go slow. it wasnt up to the bottom of my doors but it was pretty high regardless. i pulled my air filter off to see if there was any water, and it was pretty damp and some water droplets, but nothing crazy. is this something to worry about. it was about up to 3/4 of my tires. im all stock aswell thanks guys

Hello Guys I have a 5.9 24 valve cummins in my F250. Im experiencing hunting at idle when in gear, worse when warm.Ive done the hot wire test and taking the ECM out of the equation and runs fine with no hunting, that said as expected no. I made up jumper wires from the VP44 disconnecting data link from the ECM and runs smooth but only 1000rpm....since doing the test Ive emphasized the problem, now I have skipping and bucking but no hunting up through the throttle range.Can only get fault codes from PCM not ECM ?...Im on the fence on whitch way to go APPS, VP44 or dirty signal from ECM....any help would be much appreciated..Im on the west of Australia …

Hauled the camper up to the hills last weekend to go huckleberry camping. On tight to not so tight corners i'm getting a huge pulsating grind coming from the rearend of the truck. I have always felt a grind when I'm loaded and turning tightly on asphault or concrete but not near this bad and not with pulsation. This weekend I was on loose gravel and dirt and still got the bad grinding.I just assumed I had posi. because of the grind on dry pavement and in the winter the diff stays locked no matter what. In fact I've come close to wadding the truck up a few times as a result. I also go through rear tires like mad, which I thought was a diesel torque thing. Now the questions…

I was told that the exhaust housings on the hx35 and hy35 turbos are the same and the exhaust wheels are the same. Is that true? I thought they were different. I think im correct in thinking that the exhaust flange thats held on with 5 bolts is the same but want to verify that also. The used hx35 i bought had a broken bolt that was kicking my butt but i finally got it out today. Now I'm just waiting on gaskets and time to do the swap Also, looking at the flange that bolts to the manifold there is a huge mismatch in the ports and gasket. Is there any benefit in gasket matching the turbo housing and manifold? Any draw backs? My signature has everythi…

Howdy folks! I'm currently working on replacing my exhaust system with a Diamond Eye 5" inch kit and have come across an issue. My old down pipe has corroded itself to the the exhaust flange waste gate elbow (Part #3590110).. so I need a new one, but I can't find anything online. Can someone help point me in the right direction? Should I use one from a different turbo setup?

I just found a HX35g turbo for sale cheap. I was damaged in storage with zero miles. I cant find it anywhere so I cant check the specs and from what I have found it is water cooled and was a gas application. Only the cold side outlet is damaged and was wondering if I might be able to just use the center section as a replacement for myHX35W when it goes.

Does anyone have any tips for getting the compressor wheel of an hx35? I'm helping a buddy rebuild his and the compressor wheel refuses to come off the shaft. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I have a spare HX35 laying on the shelf and I would like to get it rebuilt to more of a towing turbo. Does anyone know or recommend a shop that can rebuild turbos? Closer to CNY the better. Thinking about getting housing machined for a 60 or 62mm wheel. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Tim

Anyone here rebuilt there hx35? I guess I’m going to attempt it myself tomorrow. Any tips or suggestions? Hope I don’t mess anything up. I plan to check for boost leaks before I rebuild it. Anyone have a diy tester they have built?

So I'm running my stock turbo and I have the ability to get a turbo out of an 04 5.9. Would it be an upgrade over my stock turbo if so what else would I to do to make it work.

I'm planning on some 75hp or 100hp injectors for the future. Are there any upgrades for the HX35 that will make a difference or should I plan on replacing the turbo as well?

I'm finally picking up an HX35 off a 96', doing the HY to HX swap, and was wondering what RPM the HX starts to spool? My HY seems to start at around 1700 or sooner and I'm hoping the HX isn't going to be laggy with my setup.Thanks

Any good sources for a HX35/40 rebuild kits out there? I need a bearing kit for the current turbo I've got in the shop. Anyone know of good bearing kits for a fair price speak up and drop a link please.

Yup sad to say the turbo I was running start sounding different on my last trip to McCall for parts and really low in boost pressure like 21 PSI. So this morning I pulled the truck in and start just looking and figured I would do just check the shaft play. Well that moves in and out just a few thousandth and the compressor wheel made contact with the housing I know the bearings are done. Thank Gawd that I kept my old stock HX35W turbo and just installed it back on. Back to making a solid 35 PSI of boost. Truthfully I would love to upgrade turbos but I know I'm going to need a new exhaust brake and install a PacBrake Inline on the 4 inch pipe. Then I could upgrade to a big…

So I've come to my senses a bit thanks to @TFaoro and have decided that I need to cannibalize my fleet and throw the HX that's in my 99 into the 02 since that's the truck that's staying for the long haul. Now, with that being said, I do have some questions. - Do I take out the entire thing?! (turbine & compressor housings n such?) - I figure I should get a rebuild kit for the HX since I know it's never been done, anything else besides the basic kit DAP sells? - Anything else I should look at changing or upgrading while I have it apart? - Tyler I know you got yours all nice and polished when you did your rebuild, where/how did you do that?

Today i swapped my hy35 for a hx35. With the hy i was getting 27-28 psi max boost. After the hx35 swap I'm barely hitting 20 psi. I have a restricted boost fitting in it. No other changes were made to the truck. Does this seem about right or does the boost sound low? Ran out of time for any other checks today.

Think I am going to do this.Found this turbo - its a reman off a FEDEX truck.I am 99% sure its a HX35WJust wanna see if anyone knows if it will fit -> looks like it might be missing the part from the exhaust turbine back to the downpipe ???? If so - does it have a name and where can I get one - or can I used my existing one ?? :shrug:Basically will this work.

Finally did the swap! 56mm compressor/12cm turbine up from 9cm turbine. Put an adjustable wastegate from Gillett Diesel along with the boost elbow from my Edge EZ. Spools a little slower down low but not much and really helped mid and top end. It just keeps pulling past 2200 rpm where my HY would choke. Turbo is a lot louder and and I can hear the air flow...although I think I have a boost leak from the driver's side now. The extra boost is definitely noticeable! Nice budget upgrade.
