2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Replaced my heater core last night, which was oh so fun, and came out to flush the coolant and refill this morning and now the truck will not start. It just cranks and cranks...When I dropped the dash I unhooked the 2 wiring harnesses from the column, the vacuum lines from the hvac controls and the 2 heater fan connections. Under the hood I had to disconnect and remove the computer on the passenger firewall to get to the heater box bolts. Other than that I can can't recall any other wires that may have been missed in re-assembly. Currently truck is sitting 80% drained of coolant with the lines off, fuel pump is working fine. I kicked on the heater controls to check a…

Hi, My 2500 has started hesitating when pulling a load or a hill when I ask for more power. If I back off it quits. It did it really badly yesterday morning when I was pulling a trailer but on the way home it was great until I started up a very steep hill. Today it was fine until again I started up the steep hill. I live at the top of a mtn and the road is very steep and about 1.7 miles long. I did put some fuel treatment in it and the fuel filter was changed about 10k ago. Any suggestions? TIA!

HI, MY TRUCK JUST STARTED TAKING LONGER TO START, I HAPPENS EVERY 1 OUT OF 3 TIMES I START HER UP. JUST REPLACED AIRDOG FILTER AND SEPARATOR, AIRFILTER, PURGED SYSTEM AND IS STILL DOING THE SAME. HAVE ABOUT 40K ON A NEW VP44 AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. FUEL PRESSURE READING IS 17PSI AT IDLE AND 15PSI AT WOT. IF FEELS LIKE ITS GETTING AIR IN THE SYSTEM, IT TAKES ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS TO START AND WHEN IT DOES IT AUTO-ACCELERATES. ANY BODY FAMILIAR WITH THESE ISSUES???

Hey guys, I've been averaging 450 km to a tank! :banghead: i dont understand it! my 400 in my old ford 1/2 ton gets better miledge!! can anyone give me some info onto what this might be!?Thanks guys:pray:

I have a 1998 24 v 3500, It left me sitting on the road with a 40 ft camper . I have replaced the fuel filter, fuel presure stays around 17, there are no codes, was just wondering if it could possible be a crank shaft sensor? or any other ideas. It just keeps cutting out and back on afraid the u joints and transmission will go,thanks

Finally got around to pulling my vacuum and power steering pumps in order to address an oil leak. A pre-purchase inspection showed a crack in the coupler between the two pumps causing the leak. The shop suggested replacing both the pumps as well as the coupler based on the assumption that the crack could have caused mis-alignment of internal shafts leading to wear, etc. Or there could have been some mis-alignment which caused the crack.The vacuum pump, which includes the coupler, runs $460 and the PS pump is $62, not exactly chump change. My local Napa can't source just the coupler.Looking for opinions. Is there validity to the potential damage to the pumps from a cr…

Hi guys sorry so late im a farely new membet but all of a sudden my abs lite came on speedometer quiy workin and i got alot of vibration and loose steering (more than normal)

I have a 02 Cummins H.O. and I bought new 4 ply silicone intercooler boots that are rated 80psi working and 240psi burst. I ordered new t-bolt spring clamps but the idiot sent me regular t-bolt clamps without the spring. He is sending me replacements but they wont get here till Monday and this weekend is really the only time in the near future I will have to change these. I have a BD turbo elbow, BD boost fooler, BHAF mod, glasspacked 3" exhaust and hypertech. So not really putting too much over stock for psi. Should I just put the regular t-bolt clamps on or wait for the spring clamps? Thanks

What's best tool to make pressing these out easy Any other tips ? What brand of u joints to replace ?

I just put a hypertech programmer on my 02 Cummins H.O. I put it on level 3 and it runs like a raped ape. I decided that killed economy too much so I went to put it down to level 1 and when I plugged it in it said I had 2 codes, a p0602 and of course p1693. I googled the p0602 which is a fulling calibration error. It still runs great on level 1. The funny thing is my check engine light never came on, just showed the codes with the hypertech. I did some research and found some people say with a hypertech or smarty thats just the nature of the beast because the ecu recognizes off stock fulling calibration. Other people say the ecu is going bad. I had my ecu (block mou…

Hello all, so here's the deal. I'm building my dream truck out of basically two trucks. What I will have left will be a 96 3500 roller and a 98.5 24 valve with a 47RE behind it. Does anyone know what kind of wiring problems I will have, to make it run and shift? I do have the 98.5 computer. Is the main harness at least close to the same or, will I have to make a copy of the 98.5 harness? I do have it but I plan on using it in the 98.5 truck, which I plan to keep.The 96 started out life with an NV4500.

Hey Dave...Remember that thermostat you sent me a long while back? Yea... I got around to using it and guess what!? It's good! It rises to 200*F and lands back to 193*F and holds steady. More testing to follow!

Well Idaho got its first now. As I type this message the snow is falling and sticking in the yard. So in a hurry this morning I got my winter 265's put on, installed the grill winter fronts, and need to change a thermostat. So is your truck ready for the winter cold and snow?I still want to crawl under check both diff's, transfer case, transmission, and grease the driveline. Then I'll think I'll be ready for old man winter.

Des anyone have a smarty tuner that i could borrow to correct my speedo with the new tires i have on it? I can pay for all shipping to and from. Or is there an inexpensive tuner that can calibrate the ecu for tire size?

My injection pump is leaking where the number 3 injector line goes on. I had the line off and there was a groove worn in the tapered seat so i sanded it down and it quit leaking for a couple weeks now it leaks again. So there must be a groove in the fitting on the pump. I can get the line from cummins but they can't get me the fitting. Anyone know where I can get one? And does it just thread out or does it hold anything in? http://forum.mopar1973man.com/webkit-fake-url://535F2EDA-3C3B-41D5-9A53-884682DEB836/imagejpeg

Hello everyone, need a little help. Was wondering if anyone has used a used ECM in their truck if the original failed,i can purchase a ECM from a 99 3500 5spd 4x4(mine is a 99 2500 auto 4x4),but what i can gather from TSB 18-033-04 the ECM part# is the same for 981/2-99. I have CODE P1694 and my truck has a 10-15 sec delay till the Wait To Start light comes on and then i hear the lift pump prime.I imagine that i would have to have the ECM reflashed which i can get done. i can get it for a great price.

I've got a new one. I have the following codes; 0112 Intake Air Temp Sensor voltage low, 0230 Lift pump circuit out of range (This doesn't surprise me much as I took off the electric pump and have been running the mechanical pump for a few months now. Maybe I should have did something with the wires instead of just unplugging them), 0237 Manifold Air Pressure sensor voltage low, and 1475 Aux 5 volt supply voltage hi. The dead pedal affects the top speed. My acceleration sucks and it tops out about 55/60.Now I have heard 1475 is one of the codes that shows up when the ECM takes a dump but it accompanies codes from all the sensors and the alternator starts putting out crazy…

i am not new to diesel trucks, ive had a few and i worked at Dodge as a diesel tech, many years ago before the army. but like anything you havent done in 7 years, i have forgotten a few things so i have a question. i have a 2002 24v 6speed, 150's, 62/71/14, studs, FASS, valair single, 5", quadzilla i drive the truck with the quadzilla on level 1 95% of the time, and have been getting around 19-20mpg driving around base. im still getting the same fuel mileage, still drive the same, still running 2-cycle in my fuel. nothing has changed.i used to be able to put the quadzilla on anything higher than 3 and it would roast the tires at 35mph if you floored it, boost ca…

Ok guys I have a 2002 dodge ram2500, I have Isspro fuel gauge my gauge started reading below 5psi when I started the truck and would take about 20mins to build up to about 15psi. Before this started as soon as I started my truck the gauge would jump to around 15-17psi. So I thought well my cheap lift pump is going out so i bought another one from the local auto parts since i don't have time to wait on an airdog or raptor to be shiped to me. Got it installed and the gauge reads 2psi let the truck ideal for about 10mins and it went up to 5psi. Only thing I can come up with is the gauge is bad or the isolator is bad, both are only 2 years old. How long do gauges and is…
