2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

I'm ready to buy some injectors but I need a little help deciding. I've narrowed it down to RV275's or DAP 75hp aftermarket. I want to keep my cores. I really want the 75hp but worried about aftermarket bodies. Would like to hear some opinions.

I'm going to try and start gathering parts for my tear down, and would like to replace all of my synchronizers while I'm in there. 3rd and 4th gear are getting pretty tired. Does anyone know any good places to source these parts? I don't want anything cheap that will go out in a year. Thanks!

If I get an ECM the same year and transmission as my truck do I still need to have it flashed to my VIN? If so do they need the truck or can I just take the ECM? And what do I ask them for? Just a reflash for my VIN with updates? I just want to know what I'm doing before I go to a dealer for this. Thanks

Hi, i'm new to this site and there is a-lot of neat stuff on here.I got a question that maybe someone can help me out with.I got a 24v engine out of a 2001 school bus been sitting for a long time so i threw it on my motor stand and put a new head on it. I want to test it on the stand but having trouble wiring the apps because it is on the throttle pedal and not on the side of the pump. I don't want to burn the pump up by doing something stupid for it is a new one.I have already had it running but only at idle i want to throttle it up but can't figure it out . Thanks Craig

Hey all, just pulled my old trans that was slipping and not wanting to shift out of first a few weeks back. Got a brand new rebuild with a shift kit, raised pressure, redone VB, the works (not a full race trans but warrantied to as much power as I could add on a single turbo) and put it in. At first, it wouldn't run well, so I figured "what the heck, I'll replace output speed sensor and try." After that, It ran fine for about 5 miles until suddenly, it started slipping and wouldn't shift out of first. Same exact issue I had with the old one. The other day, it started up and went through the gears no issue but the problem has since come back. Now I've got the flui…

Im going to order a spare belt Gates Regular or Heavyduty? Pretty sure my original is just Regular. I wonder if the Heavy duty is a gimick? GATES K080810 SERPENTINE BELT ('94-'02) A/C or GATES K080810HD SERPENTINE BELT ('94-'02) HEAVY-DUTY & A/C

98.5 3500 4x4 auto stock 113,00mi Dealer recall at 12k mi to reprogram for nox emmisions ( recall no 8001 ) cut fuel mi to 5 loaded 12 empty and easy. after 2 reflash dodge said thats normal. To shorten a very long story with the great help of Bluechip diesel and the jumper wire trick they and i don't think its the vp44.

Next intermittent dead pedal, rest apps no change. next, intermittent dead tach- dead petal- ck eng light- abs light and brake light. Several codes, cleared computer w…

How do you remove the gas pedal on a 2001 2500? There is a plastic retainer, with no screws or tabs to press. I'm ready to use a Sawzall and hack away. Thanks for any help

I am searching for Moparman's Alternator "noise" test article. Cant find where it is. I want to check and see if my alternator is 100% or not Does Alt noise have to do with a bad diode? I saw a Alternator part on Larry Bs sight. (Diode pack / Rectifier Bridge for Deanso Alternator) Is that "the fix" if your Alternator is making "noise" I think I checked my alt a few years ago, before I replaced my TPS Rick

Guys, just put on a steering brace tonight, great mod for me. I spent about an hour taking my time and torquing everything to spec, as well as greasing other fittings while I was under there. Took it for a ride and steering is much tighter with less road wander and better feel. I did swap my steering gear for a reman NAPA back in September, but it already lost that lovin' feelin' - if you know what I mean. If anyone is interested its a one piece " Big D " brace, and I can give the link to anyone who Pm's me. Here's a pic, one piece 1/4" plate.

Alright guys little story behind this... I left the mountain from snowmobiling today and about 20min into the drive I started the long trek up the 7% grade 5 miles long at 11,000ft elevation. By the time I got to the bottom of the grade my thermostat had obviously opened (Saw temps rise to 195 then backed down to 190). So, doing 70 with the EGTs at 1,100 degrees constant I look down and see the water temp rising... usually this is normal and it creeps to 195-197 then settles right in that area. This time it kept rising and topped out at 209. It then held that for about a mile, then dropped down to 195 and didn't rise again the rest of the way up the mountain. I don't thin…

Just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to everybody in this forum for all the help you give me and each other. This place really is like no other when it comes to getting help or advice with Cummins issues. I don't post on here much because I don't know enough to help with most of these issues but I do read A LOT and there is always a wealth of knowledge and ALWAYS someone willing to help. This forum has taken me from doing oil changes and an occasional brake job to finishing my first VP install about an hour ago. Mike I especially want to thank you for creating this place and deciding to keep it going. I'm not in a place where I can donate monthly right now but I …

Anyone ever have trouble with their MAP sensor sticking?? My TST is reading 3-4psi at all times now Can I clean it or just toss it and buy another?

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?

I finally found the vibration that has been eluding me in the truck for the last 10 months. I went through all possible things to check and found that it was a bad brake drum. I think that it was a deformed casting from it's conception. I had to go through 3 new brake drums to finally find a good one but now the truck rides on the interstate as good as my wife's Town and Country. I am doing my happy dance and now it is time for a cold one. Thanks to all who offered suggestions along the way. Many times you never hear what the cure was when someone has a problem so the reason for this message will help others who may be trying to find the vibrations problems …

I thought we could get a thread started over here where we could post pictures of our trucks for everyone to see. I know we can post them in the garage but I thought we could have a spot to throw up pictures so let's see them! Maybe if we get enough pictures being put up Mike will sticky it.

Hello all! First time posting here, long time forum stalker! I've recently installed a Raptor FRRP to replaced my failed carter. Not sure how long that one was out but I found out while in the process of installing my ISSPRO gauges. Right now once the truck is fully warmed up my fuel pressure is at 19psi sometimes falling just into 20psi. While running down the road my numbers are between 16-18psi depending on hard heavy the left foot is. At WOT I get 14psi, sometimes dipping down to 13psi. While from the research I've done from this site, the numbers I'm seeing fall well within the safe zone of the vp44, I'm a little concerned about the amount it's drop…

Anyone using these Bluetooth devices on our trucks? http://www.amazon.com/BAFX-Products-Bluetooth-diagnostics-Android/dp/B005NLQAHS http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WOQLh1iGN60 Seems like a good deal for ten bucks plus a 5 Dollar app. I was looking at a scan gauge, but this looks pretty interesting. Any thoughts?

My '99 4x4 diesel used to fire right up , lately sometimes it has to crank longer than usual. Not real long cranking over, but noticeably a little longer crank time. Not all the time but did it today 3 times. It always fires though. I dont drive it every day . Drove it last two days probably 200+ miles I just put new batteries and military spec terminals and cables on it. Battery ground to frame and body grounds good. Has 164,000 miles, new VP a few years ago , lift pump pressure is ok, Fuel filter changed 5000 miles ago, and the old one was ok anyway . I run 2 stroke oil in the fuel all the time I plan on putting a Fass pump on it but " Idont think" that is the p…

What size fuel line is used to replace the fuel return line with the quick disconnect line past the "T",,, to the frame steel line. Have you guys just swapped out that stock plastic line with the quick disconnect and just use a regular good fuel hose and regular screw hose clamp? Im going to pull that quick connect off to check for air in the return line. It might break or maybe the O ring will be messed up and leak if I reuse it Rick
