2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

After the ball joint at the steering gear snapped the other week AND it's MOT time I decided ok time to fix some stuff, long steering joint I've had for nearly a year and not fitted it, on the list, right hand wheel drive shaft U joint cream krackered so 2 on the list from rock, some clown was over the white line on a little lane a few weeks ago and smashed the right towing mirror glass and body so on the rock list SO 2 u joints and a towing mirror $350 or so to my door inc shipping duty and VAT .... pants down comes to mind, it's getting expensive to run my truck already got upper and lower ball joints and all the rest of the steering, shocks all round…

I am wanting to start collecting parts for the conversion. So when I need to I can do the conversion. Spending thousands on an automatic rebuild doesn't seem smart. So what do I need? How big of a job is it? Weekend? Which transmission should I look for? I do want overdrive.

I have a few extra parts laying around after upgrading my truck. I was wanting to know how much the stuff would be worth. Some of the parts are 5 speed flywheel, Hx35, 4" downpipe for Hx35, Stock lift pump, MK-10 aftermarket filter, Manifold not cracked(Missing 2 studs as I used them for new manifold), Intake horn, Intake plate, Connector tubes, BD boost fooler. I think there is maybe 1 or so more parts I'm forgetting that I have replaced.

Took out the four bolts of battery tray, that I see under battery...tray is still held in by something. Is it more bolts underneath tray or a plastic tab that folds under something or? Any hints that appreciate it... thanks

I recently sent my ECM off to be repared. Once it was installed, there were still issues with getting it started and staying running. the ECM repair technition told me I have issues with fuel delivery. I have narrowed the problen to PDC fuse #3 (circuit A14 RD/WHT) thru the wiring harness to PDM 1 on the firewall.With everything plugged in my test light lights up when I touch #3 fuse "blade". I can unplug connecter 1 at the PCM and the light goes off. The same circuit will also branch off to the connecter and connect to the ECM wireing harnedss which powers the lift pump. I have been able to get it started but will no stay started. I think there may be an issue inside …

Hey guys, about 4 months after installing a rebuilt ECM on my 2001 Ram 2500 4x4 automatic transmission truck, I pulled out on the road in front of my house and started accelerating up the hill. the truck stumbled really bad, seemed to catch and then went dead. I rolled backward down the hill and rolled back into the yard and started working on the truck. It would not do anything, it would just crank over and not even try to start at all, after trying a couple of times, the fuel pump came on and would not go off until I pulled the relay/fuse. At this point I pulled the smarty out from under the seat, I hooked it up, and it gave an ERROR COMM. TIME OUT, after calling smarty…

First post here, a pleasure to be here! I’ve been fighting with my gauges for a while now and it’s driving me insane. I have read many pages on here and other forums but have not found an exact answer or fix. My tachometer works, all other gauges inop my transmission shifts great. When I connect my scanner (Snapon Zeus) I can pull codes out of the ecm and get codes P1698 (No transmission bus messages) and P0230 (transfer pump circuit out of range) I believe that is due to the airdog. Many of my dummy lights are on. The wiring in this truck is a nightmare due to the previous owner. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have an 01 qclb ctd 4x4 that needs a pcm and would like to know what years are compatible. Would a 2000 or maybe an 02 work on an 01. It will be flashed to match my vin. Just need to know if it will work....Thanks guys.....

Little background on the situation. Bought a 1999 2500 that was originally an automatic converted to manual, truck runs fine, but is throwing codes for not having the auto tranny plugged in. Ive got the flash from smarty that converted the ECM to manual software but the truck is still throwing the same codes so it must be the PCM. Normally i would ignore the issue but i have to get the truck smogged (Commifornia) to complete the registration…. I know dodge no longer makes PCMs for these trucks so I figure a used working PCM is my best bet as I havent seen many great reviews from many websites selling remans. Will a PCM from a manual transmission truck solve…

I was driving in hot weather up hill last week (dont know if temp related), when the "Check Engine" light came on, I noticed the volt meter was all the way down to the left most line (same as engine off position). When I arrived at the top and started on the decent; I noticed the overdrive does not work (auto trans), also the cruise control is not working, and the trans appears to slip on take off. Referencing the PCM (power control module) info; the pcm controls the above items, I have not noticed any other items on the list malfunctioning. Before I spend $400 or more for a new pcm, I would like to make sure it is the module or bad connection, ground... What is …

I'm trying to remember if the PCM has anything to do with the security/keyless entry, or is that all handled by the CTM? My left leg/knee cannot handle the performance clutch in my 6 speed 4x4 anymore, so I need to find a built auto trans to swap for or try to trade my pickup with its complete brand-new paint job for an auto trans pickup that's had the trans rebuilt.

I have got a weird problem maybe one of you can chime in with a answer on my predicament. I have a 2001 3500 5.9 with a starting issue. I already replaced the IP and got it started with the help of Doug from Blue Chip following his directions. However, it will only run with the C3 wiring connector unplugged from the PCM?? It has np power and the odometer reads NO BUSS due to the C3 plug unplugged. I am trying to trace the wires from the PCM in the C3 wiring and have not found anything yet. How would I know if a wire is bad on one of these wires? Also could it be something else? Any suggestions would be appreciated!! Thanks! Steve

We all know the APPS adjustments and ECM calibration. This results in the ECM 'seeing' 0-100% of throttle, uh, opening.Now my cheap code reader shows the ECM at 0-100%. Cool.The PCM shows 23-88%. Sooo, if the PCM is controlling the auto trans shifting, OD, TQ lockup, etc.What do we do with the PCM throttle %?Note that my truck shifts fine. Just curious. ___99 QCLB Sport 4x4HD, Auto. 250k, No add-ons.

I don’t have voltage at C3 Pin25 on the pcm so there’s no charging or O/D. How does the pcm know to provide voltage to that pin? Does it use the engine speed signal at C1 Pin 8? If I check it and have the correct frequency and voltage but still no voltage at the blue wire can I use an ignition hot on that to make things work correctly? Will I still have the modulating ground signal on the gen field wire if there’s no 12v on the blue? If I use an ignition hot to power the trans relay will the pcm still activate the o/d solenoid?

Was working in the passenger side of the engine bay and noticed that one of the wires going to/from the PCM had been tapped. With the clamp on type that takes a male spade input. I believe it was the black with orange stripe or vice versa. Anybody know what this might indicate?

My front driveshaft ate my pcm wiring harness in the middle of nowhere, it ripped the entire harness out of its connectors. My question is, does anybody know if any pcm wiring harness from 1998-2001 will work in my 1998.5 24v? I’ve seen someplace that only 98 and 99 are compatible but I’ve seen nobody saying why. When I compare the two harnesses from photos they look the same?

Here's my tale of woe. '99 3500 5.9 Cummins A/T--Started out with the the torque converter lock/unlock issue, found the cure purely by accident (pulled the alternator charge line which was lying directly on the alternator away from the alternator, and problem went away for a couple weeks until the line returned to its original position--ah ha!!!). Traced the charge line, and ended up basically doing the W-T Ground Mod, things ran perfectly for about 4 years. I could not believe that crazy ground splice on the port side of the motor--engineer must have been hitting the sauce on that one. Wish I'd found this site back then!!! Forgot to mention, I bought the …

This truck isn’t my daily so it sits days at a time. I inherited a 99 Cummins with issues and have been working through them. Random no start, replaced cps, problem fixed. Random loss of tach and acceleration, replace apps, problem solved. Then one day I’m driving and the trans goes into limp mode, I don’t have time to deal with it so I park it for a couple weeks. When I go to pull it in i can manually put it in first but if I just use drive it’s still in limp mode. The alternator is also not charging now. For whatever reason neither of my scan tools (mx808, Verdict) can communicate with the transmission. However I can see the ECM and I have code p1693. I check power and …

See the thread I started here - saves reposting the pics http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/98-5-02-powertrain/441910-pdi-exhause-manifold-fitment-issue.html#post4555099 thoughts? thx --- Update to the previous post... man what a drama - cut it off and will remake a bracket later Then had the manifold back on but all 4 wholes are threaded - not like 2+2 with stocker. So 4 hours later its back off - 2 drills couldnt fix it and I had to manually file it - now its raining :banghead: Tomorrow back on - then the he351cw and some other pain

I have a 98.5 24 valve cummins, somtimes when I start up I can barely touch the accelerator pedal and its acts like I held the thing wide open. Then I can shut it off and start back up and its back to normal. It doesnt happen at a particular time it is as random as anything. It is really driving me crazy.
