2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

after reading a couple recent posts here about various symptoms, checking the wastegate for being stuck was mentioned a few times. Thought I'd check mine. Shoot some air, about 20 lbs? What kind of travel should I see if working ok? Is 90 degree bellcrank movement about right? To be honest, I don't even know if the bellcrank is even visible from the topside! I know I can see the rod going back..

So I have read a lot about air filters, including the BHAF info. One thing I find stands out is the paper element aspect in the BHAF article. I am curious if this is just an anti oil filter thing or if someone has experience with the AEM filters not being good either. I have heard a lot of good things about the dry flow washable filters. I am up between spending $79 once for a dry flow reusable filter and $45 for a paper filter. The AEM filter I would choose is an oval 9" long x 10.5" wide x 8" across with a 4" ID inlet. These dimensions yeild the greatest surface are of all the AEM filters with the correct inlet. Compairable surface area to the 8.5"W x…

I have the torque converter lockup switch, and wanted to know if I can use the 125 sticks for more power towing when I am locked up. I am towing 12000 lbs with stock truck and finding when going up Hills with over drive off I can't maintain speed and drop to 2nd gear. Then engine temp goes up and of course transmission temp as well. I am afraid that if I hit a big Hill I will need to pull over to cool transmission. I don't want to have to stop so I was thinking if I had a little more power I might be able to keep it locked up in 3rd and not drop down to 2nd and over heat transmission. Have Turner set to tow safe with bhaf and 4 inch exhaust. And my max exhaust temp was…

my truck hesitates or shudders from 1800 to 2200. FP 20 idle 13 wot. is seams to only do it if the edge is above lv 0. if you let off to idle it idles ruff almost like a lope if you rev it up it gos away. its diving me nuts need help!

Wondering who has shelled out the money for the hot unlock and is it worth the money? I see Edge has 50% off right now

As of lately my truck has become hard to start. It requires about two ten second cranks to fire but then runs great. I have checked for fuel leaks and tightness of fuel components. I installed a lift pump and new lines 9 months ago. Also the tach doesn't match the speed you are driving. At light acceleration the rpms will jump all the way to 2k and on the highway at 60 mph it usually stays around 2700 rpm. I am not sure if it would be the crank sensor since I have no codes. The hard starting just happened out of the blue a couple weeks ago. Any help would great.

Need some opinions on gauges. Before I joined this forum I put Glow shift gauges and a 3 gauge pillar pod on my 02 After reading many of the members comments I was sorry that I got them.I've nothing but trouble with them, Thermocouples going bad,sensor going, out irratic fuel pressure readings.I've been seriously thinking about chucking the them and getting ISSPRO or Auto meter mechanical gauges to re place them.Any reason I should think about electronic gauges.DAP has a special on ISSPRO gauges ?

I have the Haines manual and the downloaded factory service manual for this 1999 Ram 3500. The two publications contradict each other on the setting of the nut for the rear wheel bearings. the factory manual states to back off the nut 1/8 of a turn after torquing to 120-140 ft lbs and the Haines manual says to back off 1/3 of a turn. I went with the factory manual and backed off 1/8 of a turn. One hub runs warmer that the other. Any advice. Thanks

Hauled some cattle home yesterday with the new flatbed. Had to shorten up the gooseneck post on the trailer. The ball is sitting about 4-5 inches taller than the original one. I sure don't miss the rattling of a self-destructing box! Anyhow, I'm going 'full out' on this, (installing a new brake controller too) This truck came with a controller, which for the life of me, couldn't make it work. Sooo, out it came. (8 years ago) I have an eye on a couple models to install. So, when I wired up the flatbed and trailer harness, I went ahead and hooked up the light blue wire for the brake actuator circuit. Back half of truck is now done. Where do I look for the fro…

I'm assuming I'll need valve seals. Any way to do it without removing head or injectors? If I could figure out where tdc is for each cylinder valves should not fall in. Lol. #6 hard to do?

How much play in the rear wheel bearings on my 99 3500 2wd Dana 80 would it take to create the vibration I have been working to eliminate for a while?

Getting ready to install new billet torque converter in the old 47re. Just wanting some tips on what else should be replaced while I have it out. Rear main, front pump seal kit? If anyone knows of a good brand pump seal kit let me know. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Also, what's the best filter?

I have a 1999 24v cummins. I'm probably the 4th owner, possibly 5th. A previous owner had installed exhaust mods, fass DDRP v02, Edge Juice with attitude. I'm not sure of any other modifications. The DDRP went out on me the other day on my way home. I limped truck home. After sitting over night and trying to start the next day, truck was showing 0 fuel psi anywhere and i couldnt hear the lift pump at all. I was limited by funds, but replaced the lift pump with a napa one (airtex i think is the brand - not ideal, i know) Truck then was showing 21psi at the top of the filter cap, but 0 psi leaving the filter cap. My edge, which i believe checks psi at the VP44 s…

so a few days ago i went to start my truck after work (sat 10 hours) and when i started it, it took 3-4 cranks instead of normal, ran rough for the first few rotations, then bright blue smoke was coming out of the exhaust. it has done this every time ive started it since. any ideas whats causing it? i need this fixed asap, vacation trip coming up soon! also on a side note, my fuel pressure gauge has a mind of its own. between 20 and 30 psi. bounces occasionally, spikes, doesnt alter whether i floor it or at idle

Ok guys my 2000 2500 cummins and now that its turned off cold ive noticed when cruising at 55 itll randomly just feel like i let off the throttle a bit then pick back up any of u guys had this issue and what caused it ive seen on here that the apps can cause this

Here ya go folks. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1636229086603819&id=100006502305486&set=a.1475918309301565.1073741830.100006502305486&refid=13

Hello Guru's. I need to change the filter on my airdog 100. The last time I did it I remember losing lots of fuel. What do you guys do ? I was thinking of clamping the hoses. Have any of you ball valves on the hoses to keep from losing fuel ?

My transmission (47re) was shifting hard for a little while, and then I lost overdrive. I replaced the filter and solenoids on the trans and the hard shifting stopped but I still don't have overdrive. I replaced the APPS sensor less than 10k ago. I have read on here about a band being to tight or lose, but I don't know what this band is or if its slang. Please help, and thanks for the time.

Ok, so I keep hearing about #1 and #2 diesel. Also certain stations are containing 5-20% bio diesel fuel. If I am out running around at any particular day of the year what do I need to look for in fuel when it comes to any of this? I know there is a summer and winter blend but do not know the difference. What do I need to watch out for at the pumps? Sorry for the noob question, I just want to be on the right path and this way I can pick my fuel stations to fill up at when I need to or at least know what I am looking at when I fill up anywhere.

Well I've gone and done it. I went and installed a muffler. But this muffler I was happy to install. It a 3" in and 3" out with straight pipe through it. Designed much like a glass pack but not. Best part NAPA has them in stock for super cheap price. NAPA - Muffler - EXH 21468 http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/Result.aspx?Ntt%3d21468%26Ntk%3dKeyword%26Nty%3d1%26Dn%3d0%26D%3d21468%26Dk%3d1%26Dp%3d3%26N%3d0 It really quiet after all the years of straight pipe it super quiet. People are going to wonder if I sold my truck.
