2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Hello all. Well I have been getting the turbo over boost code lately my wastegate is not rusted up. I tested to day with low air pressure. All I could hear was air hissing. It was coming from the actuators head. reached back and felt it. What do you guys suggest I replace with? Factory HX35 wastegate, turbo masters kit, banks big head or BD. I have no fueling boxes just stock truck with airdog 100 big line kit 5" exhaust. So blocking the wastegate would not work for me in this situation.Thanks guys,John

When your buying ring terminals for the alternator don't go cheap and buy just larger crimp rings. Make sure to get a good copper ring for the alternator lead. I thought yesterday my alternator quit being the circuit breaker didn't trip neither did the fuse for the field wire. I kind of messed up yesterday and was trying a pop a rib out yesterday so I asked Mark to swap out the alternator with our donor truck here. He started pulling my alternator off and the charge lead fell off. The ring tore on one side and the rest of the ring wasn't strong enough to hold the current and poof! It melted and opened the circuit for charging. I highly suggest using copper te…

ok guys my 2002 fuel mileage sucks iv had different issues with it had a miss at idle changed injectors fixed miss put dap 50hp in it got a edge ez tuner fass pump boost gauge about 10 on it when getting in it and about 4-5 driving 55 fuel pressure 20lb idle 16 down highway iv checked fuel mileage in town about 13 mph . so could tuner or injector cause bad fuel mileage i mean shouldn't it get a little better i drive like a old man thanks.

Hello, I'd like to thank you all for already teaching me so much. This time I'm in quite the bind it seems.My problem started about 6 months ago with what came to be a small surging while maintaining moderate speed ~ 40 mph. I thought it was my foot shaking a bit and thought little of it. 2 weeks ago the surging was terrible and started in the morning while leaving for work. I limped home idling in granny gear up hill the whole way.Original code was 0122, so I replaced the APPS with one of Timbo's. Problem not solved. I also replaced MAP sensor from Cummins and ordered the adapter from Geno's. Checked the wires and grounds and things appear good. Finished installi…

So it's done it since I've owned the truck, but anyway...Turn the key on: Oil pressure goes to about 40-45psi on the gauge. "Wait a minute.. I haven't even started it.."Stays there, too, after I start it, and drive it. It stays put there, as long as the key is on.. If I unplug the Oil Pressure Switch harness, it goes to zero, so something tells me it's the actual pressure switch?... At the nice price range of $180 (Rock Auto), to $212 at Advance Auto Parts; Auto Zone wants $193 for it.. :nono:Is there something you guys may know about that could be causing this? I mean, something like the 'low oil pressure) TSB, but opposite, obviously.. :)Thanks.

My sending unit is located on the upper right (top) side of the tranny above the pan. It is a Banks gauge and the instructions say the best place would be in the pan where the temp is the highest and recommends that location. The instructions also provide an alternate location for the 47RE tranny. The instructions say to locate the rear servo test port on the right rear side of the tranny and install the 1/8" NPT temp sending unit there. Mine is in neither of those locations. I was told by tranny specialist the my location was giving me a higher reading and should be relocated to the side to read the temp of the return side. He said to deduct 15 to 20 degrees from my read…

With all of the talk about alternating current causing electrical damage has anyone researched or tried to purchase the diodes for the alternator and rebuild it themselves?

Was wondering why my 99 Cummins is SO much louder than my buddy's 07? Is it better insulation inside the newer truck or is the engine actually quieter? Thanks

Hey Everyone, Currently in the market to lift my truck to get a little more clearance and also to put larger wheels on. I went to my local store and they’re pushing a rough country 3” lift, which replaces 4 control arms and the other option I was interested in was the skyjacker 2.5” lift with only 2 control arms being replaced. I’ve heard negative things about rough country, but I can’t find any substantial evidence online besides them being on the cheaper side of lifts. Does anyone have any experiences? Additionally, with this lift I will add a dual steering stabilizer and a steering gearbox brace to try to correct for a drift at 70m…

Will someone please explain the best way to do this. I just received both left and right complete assemblies ($113.53 to my door cost from EBAY). When I tried to remove the old ones I ran into a problem. Looks like I have to remove the top cap on the front bumper, yes/no?ThanksHNK

i have o2 3500 47re was working great no problems was hooking to my trailer, looked and need to move just a little, pulled up, and then it would not shift back to revears. binds up shifter, idicator came back to drive but no farther, i unhooked sheft lever at transmission, shifter went freely back to park so i could turn key off, at first i could shift low second and drive by hand at the trans. that is as far as it would go. after i shifted it a couple of times. and tryed a little harder to see if it would jump past whatever was holding, it,. now lever moves freely, anyone know what i might find when i drop the pan, is their any common shift parts that fail inside, any he…

So tonight i just finished a cluster gauge install and took it for a spin. get a mile down the road in over drive 65 mph starts surging shut the overdrive off stops turn it back on starts again set the cruise still did it. go back to the shop take DMM reads .041 AcVolts. so then i started thinking that im not sure if it has ever been jumpy it with my lights off so i turn on headed lights which by the way are HID'S and it reads .72 then i turn on my PIAA fog lights two sets of them and reads .93 turn everything off goes down around .041 differently ac voltage being read.first question can testing at the batteries pic up ac voltage from other sources besides alternator?My t…

Still have my fuel system apart. Fuel tank is on 2001 long bed and has chaff/rub marks where the metal straps makes contact. Question...What is OEM? Is there supposed to be anything in between the metal straps and plastic tank? Thanks

heres the problem. while the truck is coasting there is a horrible vibration and loud hum coming from the rear end. the weird thing is any throttle at all makes it stop even the wait of my foot on the throttle. i have gotten out a few times and put my hand on the differential and its pretty hot. any ideas?

:banghead::cry:1998.5, 5.9, 24 Valve, 2500 Dodge P/U with 190,000 milesInstalled fuel pressure gauge, Air dog filter and pump, along with a new VP44 from RPM Diesel in Fort Lauderdale, FL. at about 183,000. Today it cranked up and ran fine until I got to work backed up and put in park. Thats when I noticed the rough idle. When I got off work it started and idled fine, ran with no loss of power all the way home at 12 PSI. At the first light off the interstate it idled fine but when I got home it started to idle rough, and then when I put it in park it became noticeably worse but revved in park and accelerated fine when put in drive. Tonight I changed the filter on the Air …

Hi All, New member here, and relatively new Cummins owner. I have a 1999 24V, pretty much stock with 140k on it that I've owned for about 6 months. Last night I had an assortment of problems pop up and I'm not sure where to begin the troubleshooting process. Unfortunately it appears to be electrical, which is my nemesis. The truck has been running great, no problems starting in cold weather, no smoke, etc. basically just runs great. 2 days ago I was in the process of moving and had my friend drive my truck home since I had the Uhaul. (Don't these problems always happen right after someone else drives your truck?) We drove about 200 miles, hauling a pretty he…

Do ya-all think there is an upper limit for our intake air temperature? Why I ask is since putting on the BHAF I have seen temps in the high 160 sitting in traffic with the A/C on. Just thinking..……Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

$7.50 for a quart of Valvoline ATF+4 ! ! ! That's crazy ! I replaced the rear drive shaft seal on my 241 transfer case, Figured Id change the oil too. Cheapest I found is $7.50 per quart for valvoline atf + 4. Local crappy Walmart didnt even have any. They redid/ rearranged everything in that store and they dont stock alot of stuff they used too Looked at my old receipts and I payed $2.50 a qt for the ATF + 3 before the +4 came out when I did my Transmission Im going to try another walmart in another town UGH !
