2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

On Dec 9th 2020 I bought a water pump from O'Reilly's and installed it in my pickup. All was good until last night when it went out. It leaked enough coolant out that the radiator fan airflow splashed it into my alternator and caused it to quit charging. My Edge Juice with Attitude said I had 11.8V when I got home. I found my receipt for the water pump and it says it's a Murray CP7145 and it doesn't fit my 01 Cummins, even though that's what O'Reilly's gave me. The pump they gave me fits a 98 and older 12V. A Murray CP6148 fits my 01 and it has a different pump blade design. The 98 pump has a curved plate on it while the 01 style pump doesn't have …

Hi All, My exhaust brake has been loosing it's verve so I took the truck to Banks Engineering, well, because they are not too far from here and thought it would be fun to visit the mother ship. It was very fun!!! They gave me a tour of the campus, except the military work section, because then they would have to kill me. They are super nice and it's very impressive operation. But I digress. So they told me the diaphragm is good on the exhaust brake can, that was my theory, and the Banks system tested out from the manufacturer. They didn't even charge me for that inspection. Super nice people! What they told me is my vacuum pump is not …

Installed a new ATS 3-piece manifold and ATS Aurora 3000 turbo this past week into my 02. Got it done before the little heat wave that's set in to the PacNW. Initial feedback is that the Aurora (58/78) spools quickly just as I'd hoped. Much faster throttle response than my previous Fleece (63/65). Haven't hooked up the camper yet to the truck and put it in tow mode through the mountain passes so I'll report back with more data when I do. I did intend to make a video of this install but there are better ones out there. I will provide a write up later on some tips I've gained now installing the setup and hopefully its useful - or mildly interesting to a few of you. Couple p…

Just be aware the total video length in 1 hour and 17 minutes when I laid it all out. Better grab a few cold beers and bag of popcorn.

I've got my 2001 2500 5-speed 4x4 down with a lift pump problem. Currently the newly replaced (in-line style, original location on engine) pump is primed and working during starting and maintains over 15 psi (that's the my of my gage). If the truck has sat for a few minutes, it will turn on briefly when the ignition is turned on, and it responds to blipping the starter by turning on for 25 seconds. I can hear good fuel flow returning to the tank (which I just cleaned up when replacing the fuel sender). Once I got the fuel circuit bled of air, it started just fine, but as soon as the engine starts, the lift pump shuts off. The injection pump is apparently able …

I'm looking at Crazy Carls 2/3 compound kit for S300 w/475 right now. It sounds like I have the right smaller turbo for this to work, just not sure which larger turbo I should go with. My current turbo is the GXE 57/65/12 gated T3, for the new S475 it lists either a 96/1.32 or a 96/1.15. I'm not sure which one would work for me. The truck is just an occasional driver/tow rig so I don't need max power. I would like to keep the boost around 50psi as well. I have head studs but am still rocking the OEM head gasket with 250k miles. I sent an email to Carls asking their opinion as well, and to see if maybe there were other options.

Anyone have first hand experience and can recommend a good 4" exhaust muffler/resonator for sound deadening? I need to tone down my 4" exhaust sound some and at the same time not restrict flow. I've seen a few models - Aeroturbine, MBRP Quiet Tone Muffler Resonator. I've got an existing muffler which the PO installed but can't tell the brand. In any event its a bit too loud and showing some signs of rust. Any suggestions?

So I bought the Quadzilla with Iquad and I been holding off installing it because I have a lot of lopping and to me too much black smoke with the 50 hp new bosh bodies. Dont know if the surging is due to this or not, I plan on sending them back to get them checked to see if theres a problem going on with them. In the mean time I though I would buy new crossover tubes just to have a piece of mind that they are good to go. Question is what injectors would you suggest to run for fuel mileage and towing with the Quadzilla?

Well gang I finally had my hydrobooster failed and started leaking out the output shaft. So I ordered on Friday and Pirate Jack's rebuild kit and put extra on freight getting the kit here fast. So hang in there there's more videos and write up as an article. Also there will be a track bar install soon too I'll do a video of the diagnosing of it.

Haven’t checked with Quadzilla on this but anyone else experience some iQuad display issues, specifically with some stray numbers showing up? See pics below of the number 80 in the engine load square and 30 shows up in the same location in the default gauge display. This is a mini Apple iOS tablet. Anyone else have this issue? Not a big deal but thought I’d ask.

I’ve been chasing issues with my VP for several months now. The truck would crank and run fine until it came up to operating temperature then would break up and most of the time shut off. so i but the bullet and ordered another VP from DAP. installed this VP along with new batteries and a fuel pressure gauge. I get the pump bleed and fired up. Runs good so while in the shop i was gonna swap out the dash. Got the new dash in and fired the truck up, after 5 seconds it shut off. Fired it up again and the same thing. Ran for 5 seconds and shut off. Third time it would not refire. So i contacted DAP and they said send it in and they would take a look at…

AirDog Draw Straw installation You will need a 15mm socket and 1/2 ratchet for the bands on the tank. You'll also need a flat blade screwdriver, hammer, floor jack, and a ratchet strap. The way I remove the fuel tank is to place the jack under the tank just to support the weight. Then wrap a ratchet strap around the fuel tank and hook it to the jack pivot pin. Tighten the strap lightly not enough to crush the tank. You need to take a screwdriver and hammer and lightly tap on the sender ring and loosen the ring up to allow the sender to stand up out of the fuel tank. No need to unhook any lines leave that alone for now. Now using a 15mm socket you can remove the two nu…

So I have been kicking tires lol, this is what I came up with. My truck has to have 3.55 gear ratio, at 65 its 1800 or so and sucks as a 1 ton tow rig. This tire comparison is a Firestone LT 235 85 r16 to LT235 75 r16 Tire 1 Tire 2 Diff Diameter 31.73 29,88 -6.19 with 9.25 same sidewall 7.86 6.94 -13.33 circumference 99.68 93.86 - 6.19 Revs/mile 635.65 …

, I'm in louisville ky. I have a few parts that I'll give to anyone who needs them. Front sway bar 2nd gen. Front hub spacers for a duelly Plus other parts. Also looking to sell my 01 Quad Cab 24v. Around 198xxx miles. Cummins, 4wd, fresh paint on bed, fenders, etc. Quadzilla never turned up past 3. Good solid truck. I just can't afford to keep it.

First drive today no psg or ECM. Using my own. See it on YouTube

Good day! I have a friend with a cummins 2000 4wd auto, about 230k miles and he’s got the following codes: P1693 (I know it’s a companion code) P0602 ( I think his smarty tuner throws this?) P0252 The truck cranks but does not fire, no fuel Comes when he cracks the injector lines, fuel pressure is about 19 psi at the Vp. Is the P0252 a typical death code for the Vp or is there something else that can cause this? Best regards Niklas Hansen

I know this a common issues for guys adding wheels and oversized tires but to show a quick clip of running down the pavement semi-flat ground at 66 MPH and the tach shows a prefect 2,000 RPM's. The EGT floats today about 600*F, and boost is about 3-5 PSI. Had to try mounting to the side window and see if the GoPro could do it. I found out the LED lighting screws with the frame rate with the flashing displays which its not actually doing.

Well I was excited that I found an upgrade turbo a HE351W Ya the Chinese Holset.(since my PacBrake would bolt up) that was going to be bolt on, but the modulator? for the wastegate hit the oil filter housing. I removed one of the studs from the manifold just to get it in there. Now I need to determine the best way to make it fit. Thinking of bending the the bracket or cutting to move it up. Always up for suggestions.

So it came in the other day and im going to get around to installing it soon. I have all manual gauges, so Im missing out on a lot of cool gadgets I guess. I read the quadzilla instructions and pretty much got that, what is the Iquad going to do besides download other tunes? In other words what is it going to do for the quadzilla? I read the instructions but I will have to re read them Im sure several more times. Just asking questions to basically put it together in my head. Excuse me but im old school, dual point distributors were high tech in my day.
