2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

ok so I've been having these not starting when hot issues...as I've posted recently...Mike says put in gauge.... I get the electric installed with my triple pillar pod setup (glowshift)I'm anal and hate the way the wiring is coming out but still I push.Going to do the snubber from Geno's, pull off the banjo (filter up canister setup on mine)...I screw in the snubber, then tread the sender (tef. taped)... wire and ground.Gauges all come up (no other probes hooked yet) bump starter to bring up LP....it cycles (no pressure...nothing)try more,,,, still truck wont start either (several tries) nothing. I didnt bleed anything yet (the darkness came too fast) I did pop the fi…

I'm a Non Motor Head Old Fart. My truck is described in the Sig Sec of this post. I currently tow a T/T of 8K. My CGVW is 16K (8K Truck & 8K Trailer) as per Dodge. I want to move up to towing 14K . What do I need to do, if anything? I have Boost, EGT, and Tranny Gauges. I have a Banks P/P and a S&B Cold Air Intake. :confused

Well like the title states, I'm curious on your guys opinion on running a smarty with an auto trans? Obviously until I get my trans built, it'd be run on the lowest of settings or off. To me the smarty isn't just for the tune ability but also to be able to help others clear codes, set high idle and things like that. Only concern was I've heard it can be pretty smokey on autos and I'm not trying to drive around a smoke machine as my DD!

I installed a FASS system (see my sig) on the weekend as per instructions except that I installed the supply to the stock filter housing (with gutted filter) to maintain my heater & pressure sensor. The other supply end connected to the stock sending unit and power directly to the battery. It did quiet down the engine a bit, less rattle.I have a small marshal 15psi mech. pressure gauge attached to the stock filter housing with a snubber. Before the install I saw 7psi @ idle with a slight drop @ wot, after the FASS install, I'm seeing only 10.8 or 11psi. I expected the advertised 16psi or at least 14. Has anyone else seen numbers this low after install? I haven't conta…

My truck ultimately runs great. It has good power. I recently replaced a crankshaft position sensor and noticed the plug will need to be replaced also. However replacing the sensor only, the check engine light has not illuminated again.However recently I have started to get a miss at idle after coming to a stop. Very slight, but noticeable. You can feel it in the truck. Not similar to the hard miss the crank shaft position sensor caused. The weird thing is my AirDog 150 has also started dropping pressure pretty bad. When new it was putting out 17psi nearly constantly, about a year later it was at 15psi. Then it kept dropping, much quicker after that. Now it is at…

I get this short high pitch squeal every time I shut the engine off. Sounds like a belt squeal but I`m not sure. neighbor said it could be a bad damper? What say you? Tx. 2001 dodge Ram, 5.9L 47re Trans.

Had a head gasket go on the 99 cummins and trying to get a game plan. Haven't pulled the head yet but mechanic says these trucks are known to have issues with pitting from coolant. If this is the case to fix the problem involves pulling the motor. My thoughts are to just go back with a short block and have a fresh motor since all the work is done. Who out there is a reputable engine builder before and after the sale? Right now I'm already having issues with the builder of the new nv4500 I just put in the truck so I don't want to run into this again. So I'm looking at a worse case scenario with the new engine.

I have been towing my 5er across Texas on the new rebuilt motor. Started with 1100 miles on her, I am about 750 miles into trip. hot as hell out here. I have been running in 4th gear, nv4500, at 2500 rpm, right around 64ish mph. Wierd thing has started to happen when I start slowing down for an off ramp for fuel, or rest. When the clutch goes in and I amdown shifting as I slow, the idle wants to drop to about 700 before it catches itself and comes back up to about 825ish. After I stop, it smooths out and idles perfect? Anyone ever heard of this? All sensors where replaced during rebuild...

Had to pull the 5th wheel today. Been a couple years since I've done it. Blew my intake boot twice, too. Had to back it into a tight spot and take things slow. Had it in 4low even. Can't remember, how hot is too hot for the trans temp.?

Just was given a couple of floor jacks. Bad news is one doesn't lift up and the other barely lifts the truck. I have put fluid in them. There is no id on them. Just wondering if anyone has had to (or can you?) over haul a hydraulic jack. Any pointers would be appreciated!

What is the differance between 600.00 60 Hp Dynomite Diesel inj. and cheaper ones. Dynomite advertizes flow balanced and matched to opening pressure. In other words is it worth it?

Well I'm now really going for the gold now. I've managed to reduce from 5x5 to 5x3 on the Edge Comp and keep 20 MPG now. Certainly different driving style is required. Now for those that are not owners of Edge products let me throw this out. Edge Comp and Edge Juice are both have the same in software basically. They both have 5 main levels and 5 sublevels. MAIN LEVELS [*]40 HP [*]60 HP [*]80 HP [*]100 HP [*]120 HP SUBLEVELS [*]33% of stock fueling/timing till 20 PSI of boost [*]50% of stock fueling/timing till 15 PSI of boost [*]67% of stock fueling/timing till 10 PSI of boost [*]Some Extra fuel at 0 PSI of boost [*]Full f…

I have an 02 2500 6 SPD manual tranny. Bone stock except cold air intake. Recently truck seems to be losing fuel prime and I can find nowhere it is going. Truck sits overnight and fuel filter housing will be empty causing very hard start problems. When I do get it started seems to idle fine. When I drive it sounds like turbo is not coming in until upper rpm range. Truck will barely pull itself up even the smallest of hills. Lift pump is new (one mounted on engine) and seems to be working fine fills filter housing in under 10 seconds. No DTC codes. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

heres my problem. my rear drums on my 01 are very touchy dont think my fronts ever even grab. if im goin down a dirt road in 1st gear and tap the brakes they will lock up in the rear. my parking brake doesnt work either. hope i can get it fixed before the ice comes. any ideas?

Just got back to the states again and the truck has been setting for the last 4 months. When I start it in the morning you never know what its gonna do, it will either rev up and down or just go straight to almost 1000 rpm. It went to 1000 this morning and I got about 2 minutes down the road and it started idleing normal. My alternator is charging at idle and I just ordered one of Goulds rebuilt kits so I hope this fixes both problems but I dont know.

Well I've been asked about mixing other additive with 2 cycle oil quite a bit. I tend to tell everyone there is no need truely for the other additive. But lots of people still want to added a other product to the 2 cycle oil. I've got a rule of thumb that will help... Only mix 2 cycle oil with a lower HFRR additive to help improve the lubricity. If you mix with a higher HFRR number your lubricity will be greatly reduced. To show this just figure the average of the HFRR number of the products you want to mix... Like for example lots of people want to mix PowerService and 2 Cycle Oil. Let me show what happens to the HFRR number... PowerService --- 575 HFRR 2 Cycle Oil -…

Alright, first off and for most thank you for any and all reply I receive So I have done a fair bit of Googleing and searching around, and have come up with nothing. Called cummins, called blue chip diesel, and haven't found a single person who has had the same issue happen. I have a 5 speed 99 dodge 4x4 2500 exsb, ts mvp fuel boost Pyro gauge, bhaf, s366, 150 injectors, pusher intake. When I start the truck at any time it INSTANTLY revs to 3000 ish rpm, then drops to 1000. When I push on the accelerator it will only Rev to 1800 or so, and that's it. Sounds awful and produces and incredible amount of white smoke (as in my cul-de-sac is filled as soon as the truck finish…

Let me start by saying I know there is a lot of existing information on the forums but I have never tuned any gas or diesel vehicle before, and this is my first diesel vehicle so i'm just not comfortable figuring it out on my own. If you are annoyed by folks who ask already answered questions I would just ask that you move on to a different post. I have one generic question and then a few tuning related questions. First, the general question. What is the best way to go about finding a shop, or a person near me who has the ability to enable the factory high idle and 3 cylinder high idle in my ECM. I am located in Omaha so bonus points if you already…

Beginners question... The bolt that holds the fuel line to the VP44. What is the torque when I put it back in? The bolt must be hollow, I don’t want to do any damage. Any thing else I need to know? Thanks

hey guys bit of a long story here but I need some help. my truck started to run a bit rough and losing a bit of power so I checked the lift pump pressure it was at 4 and zero at wot. so I changed it out new pump pressure 17psi, then it started to start hard in the morning and showing a 1693 code. Eventually it died on my way to work and wouldn't start so I changed the injector pump and before I even tried to start it threw a 1689 and a 1693. I got the truck running no problem cleared the codes and took it for a drive and it had low power and died 3 miles down the road and the codes were back. towed it home bleed the injectors and it started again runs and idl…
