2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

My truck started to make grinding noise in low speeds, like 10-20mph. Today I drove behind a tractor idling 15mph with 2nd gear and I heard grinding noise coming from under the drivers seat. Noise is biggest at those low speeds and I think in 2nd gear. Transmission fluid looks ok and transfercase fluid is ok. Time to rebuild??? And it's 47re transmission. Thank you.

Truck is at operating temperature, although what I describe below happens while starting at cold temp. I installed the FRRP-100 last weekend and set the pressure to 19.0-19.5psi at idle. Notice the normal initial 2 sec run at ~21.5 psi. After starting, it runs at ~15.5 psi for 15 sec and then jumps to 16 psi - finally it jumps to 19 psi and the engine sound different. Coincidently the ScanGauge 2 comes on at the same time. Is this a function of Open vs. Closed loop of the VP44? Is this a function of the ECM? Thank you.

Gents, I think I am going to pick up a set of Fast coolers from Genos Garage. Since they come in sets of two would anyone be interested in buying the other one? I don't think I can fit the passenger side with the 5" exhaust. I just want the pre-tapped hole for the temp sensor, and some extra cooling. If no one wants one it's going up for sale on the classifieds here and on CF. I'd be willing to pay more than half since I would be getting the one that's tapped. @Mopar1973Man if you're interested PM me and we can work an even lower price since you keep this place running! https://www.genosgarage.com/product/fc-6-spd-dg/transmission-coolers

i have a 1999 cummins with 109,956 on it. The truck starts runs and performs awsome and holds its oil pressures and temp perfect, and it doesn't ever smoke no white blue or black. MY issue is that it has a straight pipe on it and its only 3 inch due to the muffler and cat rotted and removed due to lack of funds to replace them, and now the truck has what sounds like a tick that comes out of the tail pipe. And mostly only when idle. the motor bay is quite with no ticking or knocking anyone have any clue. ps this is my first cummins so i dont know what it should sound like.

I was on a road trip this weekend when my check engine light came on. I pulled over and did the key trick just to see what I could find. It came up with these: P0500 P1687 P0237 I know the P0500 code is probably from spinning the tires on some gravel or something. The other 2 have me wondering though. I have noticed some slight power issues lately that I didn't realize could be MAP related but its almost like the sensor is coming and going. Sometimes I can black out the sky and sometimes it feels like about 1/2 power. I haven't disconnected the comp yet to see if that effects anything. I will do that tonight and clear the codes. As for the 1687, what doe…

I have been trying to get a hold of him myself for at least 3-months,..Left e-mails, voicmails, PM...no responce... I bought one of the "TUNNELRAM" Intakes with intake elbo/horn...IT WAS SUPPOST TO BE A MATCHED SET FOR 2002 2nd GEN...but the INTAKE ELBO/HORN does not fit; not even close...I new it would not fit when i opened up the box so I tried to call him..left Voicemail...the email...sent the Guy that made it a PM and he replied back that it should work and told me to call "JKIDD" for any other problems... ...THATS WHAT I TRIED TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! Besides this was his {TURBOLOVVER'S}product...his fu%$%^ up. He shipped the pair Directly to me! total…

Ok so today at the park the truck didn't start. checked codes, found no codes, checked fuses all were good. swapped starter solenoid no change. Took the starter out, cleaned contacts reassembled, no change. Jumped from the battery to the solenoid and the truck cranked, fires right up... Now the airbag $ ABS lights are on and the Speedometer nor the odometer are working, however the fuel mileage went down a bit. Will check and see if the trip miles change on the drive, I suspect not. Truck drives fine. Still wonder what is wrong? Any ideas?

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

First of all, from experience plan on either rebuilding or replacing the fuel filter/water separator drain valve when you upgrade from OEM to higher fuel pressure. I went from 5-10 to 15-20. Had a diesel leak for a few days and finally found the drain valve not shutting off entirely. Why is the drain hose so short? Spills diesel all over the front axle. A longer tube would allow you to catch the diesel when you drain off the water or change the filter. I'm thinking now about adding a filter system. Those element OEM style filters are like $25 and only like 10 microns. What kind of frame rail mounted dual filter system would you recommend. Looks like vulcan performance ha…

Here you go gang I did a full YouTube video of how I changed out the master and slave cylinder and bled the system out and installed. I'll get this moved over to the article database and updated as well.

Thanks I want to keep an eye on pressure from my lift pump and dont' want to drop a fortune. Thanks CD

Does any one know the size of the 2 bottom boots on the inter cooler? Best I can tell they are 3.5" X 3" 45* boots. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I recently installed an Airdog lift pump (Airdog II 4G DF-100) and since then I’ve experienced varying crank times. Prior to the install, the truck would turn over for maybe 0.5 second before firing right up, every time, without fail. And it feels like half a second is generous on the long side. Since the install, crank times vary between the 0.5sec up to 2 seconds. The engine seems to run a bit smoother since the install and no indication of a misfire. The most noticeable impact of the install is varying cranking times. From what I’ve read the symptoms could be due to worn injectors or poor fuel pressure but would love to hear the collective thoughts of the cre…

Hello all, recently had a low voltage code p0122 on my 99. Figured it was the stock tps and decided to replace with the highly reviewed TIMBO. now I’m not sure if these issues were present before the timbo install due to not having a good code reader. I am now using a snap on brick code reader. my issue is with the key on, ignition off I have a steady tps voltage of .66 and it will rise appropriately with pedal push and return to .66. However when I start the truck and let it idle the voltage is very sporadic. Never staying at a solid number even when pushing the pedal. The truck runs and drives fine without one issue beside the check en…

Anyone run Amalgamated's diesel additives? Too bad they were not included in the tests.

The wife gave me the go ahead so my plans are to install RV275s, an Edge Comp, and a stealth plate. Is there anything special that I am going to have to buy to install these (ie washers, mounting hardware?) I am hoping to improve MPGs a little and make the truck more efficient. Thanks for the help

i was wondering if a turbo off of a common rail would be a better turbo than the stock one im running now? white01 has the stock turbo off his 03 cr that had a six speed, just curious

I know there is a lot of different opinions on the internet on purchasing a billet input shaft, but I have not seen a lot posted here. What do you guys think of purchasing a billet input shaft? I am rebuilding my 47RE with a triple disc converter and a towing shift kit and were wondering if I should get a billet input for it. I am purchasing a billet flex plate also for it. My sole purpose for this 3500 4x4 is towing a 16' trailer with aluminum ladders and aluminum screen enclosures on it for mu Construction Company, which really isn't a lot for the 3500 towing capabilities. I just don't know if the shaft is needed? No I don't hot rod the truck, because its one of my com…

Saw something unusual today. My temps are varying much more than normal. Usually temps stay between 190 and 195. Today, 181 - 200. The thermostat is only 3 months old. All temps are per my scan gauge. What's up with this?Thx,Eric

So I got the vp out, it wasnt that bad, and I didnt drop the key, so Im pretty happy right now, altho the thought of droppn all that cash for another one sux! Anyway when I was looking over stuff on the net and in the manual ect, it was suggested to change the sensor that is right behind the vp, and I cant remember where I saw that at or what it was called, its pretty much right behind the vp, can anyone tell me what its called?
