2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

01 dodge 2500 Cummins diesel. Started off it turned over fast but wouldn't start. I changed a VERY CORRODED terminal end and it started. I drove it across town and shut it off then it went back to the same thing, turned over but wouldn't start again. Visually inspected cables and changed all the terminal ends but it didn't help. Now it won't even turn over. No click or anything when I turn the key. Hooked a wire to both posts of the starter it only sparked a little no click or spin. Took both batteries and the starter in for testing but they all tested good. When I put the starter back in it did turn over once slow then nothing.

JJSNOW sent me this PMso I asked Mike Nelson to get it Posted for @JJSNOW.... My dually 98.5 ram 3500 5.9 turbo diesel has been down since May. I have spent thousands and thousands on parts. I have replaced every part per mechanics request from the injector pump, every sensor on the truck and now I am told that I need to send my PCM off. I don't have the money to continue this journey. I love my truck. It is for me. A guy hit me and I had just received a check to have it fixed. After purchasing my new bed (which is still in Mississippi and not picked up yet), new carpet, finished my stereo system, immediately had to start buying these parts. I was so e…

I read that using the block heater costs about $1.50 a day.I plug mine in all winter here and never notice any change on my bill. Guess that's cuz we have cheap rates, and man I am thankfull for that

hello all this is my first post on here my names andrew better known as diggerdrew79 hows everbody? my question can a chingered vp-harness plug make my truk run like crap/throw codes? {p0370} it made good contact apparently when i put on new vp bout 5 weeks ago ran good till now thanks andrew

I had my truck parked recently and someone jammed a rag up my blow by tube. I didn’t notice, when I got home the truck was leaking oil pretty hard and I crawled under and noticed the rag. Wondering which seal you guys figure the pressure would’ve pushed. Haven’t had time to check but looks like it’s coming from the drivers side of the engine.

I have had the dead pedal or atleast partal dead pedal. It will run along fine then dead pedal on me so, I turn the key on/off and it acts like it didnt happen. Bought a new apps sensor. Didnt fix it. Low voltage about 2 or so. Did the W/t mod. Hoping it was a ground. I had metioned I had a code Po 2016 injection pump timing. It is a brand new pump 150 miles so, I said no way but I was told to use some Atf. I finished the W-t mod replaced the fuel filter 1/3 of the atf with the filter rest in the tank. Ran it for 10 mins drove it 10 miles it dead pedaled only on time. Much better it was doing it everymile. Today it still did it twice. Put on the scan tool and got the po20…

Just did a bunch of work on the truck getting ready for a drive.First thing put a "stealth" plate on the VP44. Its finished but the wire is not hooked to the Edge yet.Then did the final stages of the "big fuel line" mod to the truck. Ran the large line from the fuel filter housing to the VP44. Now when I put everything back together its throwing a "PO122" code. Drives fine, fuel pressure, throttle and so on is fine. Have tried to erase the code several times using the ScanGauge but guess its popping back up again.I am running out of time and need to take a 900 mile trip this weekend. As the truck is running fine, any reason why I cannot just drive it with the yellow engin…

I have a 1999 dodge ram 2500 5 sp manual. We have a perplexing problem. I`ve had over the last year a code of 1698 and Crank position sensor code PO336 thrown. The truck started having a hiccup when idling and the tach would drop off and come back and check engine light coming on. Eventually the truck wouldn`t start at all. My electrical mechanic replaced several relevant pins on the plug to the ECM then replaced the connector on the VP44. Previous to that we put a rebuilt ECM on. What he thinks is there`s a timing issue with the crank position sensor and the VP44. The truck starts and runs but is throwing these codes most of the time now. I`ve heard tone ring?, Key on t…

Seems like after a drive I tend to trigger a po1690. I have no noticable issues. I changed out my cam position sensor in case my old one was bad it didnt seem to change anything. New one still popping a cell light. I have a 2001 24v so no crank position sensor on my truck. Truck runs fine with or without the cel just not sure what to do to get it to go away. Fuel pressure is 16psi with an air dog.

I have owned this truck for 15k miles and almost 1 year. It has never given me an issue. I have just installed a Quadzilla Adrinaline on my truck yesterday I took if for a drive on level 0 and the truck acted like normal but then fell on its face and would not go above 10 mph in 2nd gear (6 speed) no matter the throttle position. No black or blue smoke on first drive. Drove it back home and checked all connections, all were good. I double checked the pump tap and there was no issues there. Before I installed the Quad I had a edge EZ on the truck and on the max power levelthe EZ never gave me an issue. Now when I start the truck it'll puff some blue smoke. If I rev it it …

Installed new edge Ez since my last one quit working. Now I have a problem where it goes into limp mode after too much boost I think? What’s causing this? Stuck wastegate?

So when I’m driving down the road sometimes my truck loses its tach and usually comes back within a few minutes. When it does it the check engine light comes on too. After you shut it off and restart it check engine light is gone. Recently I was going down the road and it did it and missed a little when it lost its tach so I drove home to get my scan tool before I shut the truck off and got po336. I have read the article on the site pertaining to the code and need further info because my 12v test light doesn’t come on when it tells me to the B connector and it says to perform test Ver-5a, this is step 5 of the test. I’m not sure where to find this test c…

So here's my situation: I removed my VP44 today. The previous owner of my truck has glowshift gauges installed and the fuel pressure gauge is shot. While my truck is down, I'm tearing out any wires and connections this guy installed for the gauges. He has the top of the exhaust manifold drilled out for EGT's, which is good so hopefully I can use this for my Edge EGT tap. He had the VP tapped into with the fuel pressure sending unit which is now off completely. Here's where I'm a little confused. He has the third bolt of the injector lines hold down bracket tapped into with some kind of tube that runs to the back of the gauge pod. What is this for? Should I replace it with…

I have a 2001 4x4 with a six speed transmission and 200000 miles. The truck is a one owner, I bought it from my Father in law and is completely stock. I have been around the truck since it was bought new. The truck was really strong until around 190000 miles when the VP44 went out. The pump has been replaced with a unit from a local re builder in Memphis TN. Since the VP44 replacement the truck has not been the same. I drove it around 200 miles yesterday and it averaged 11MPG. I have owned 24 valve Dodge trucks in the past and have always gotten high teens on fuel mileage and had much more power. When I am accelerating thru the gears I cant …

Have a 2000 5 speed 24v. Edge juice with attitude, 3.55s, 33” tires with leveling kit, fass150, getting poor mileage and not driving hard at all. Avg 13 hand calculated. Have dead pedal frequently, will last 5-10 sometimes 15 seconds then pedal will come back. CEL came off ran code p0237 low voltage. Checked some grounds, ran great for 2 weeks. Dead pedal came back no CEL. Changed map sensor still no help. Went over grounds again all look good. Truck has new batteries and all new terminals within past 6 months.

Can anyone offer a suggestion as to why my fuel mileage is so poor, I have played with several different tunes on my quadzilla and still can’t get over 14 on the highway. I’m running 35 in tires. I’ve heard it could be injection pump but it was replaced not to long ago and it’s been running great so it’s hard to believe that’s the problem. I’m also on stock injectors

Ok here goes I got some trouble codes and it ended up being the shift solenoid so i dropped the valve body to replace the solenoid and wire harness at the same time readjusted both frond and back bands. well i thought it would be a good idea to pull the valve body partially apart and clean and check valves. well i put it back together but i messed up the kick down valve and put in backwards but now it is fixed. so it shifts now. but here is the kicker shifts from 2nd to 3rd takes a bit to shift and when it does and at low rpm in 3rd it goes in and out. also i let off the petal and rpm goes all the way to idle and holds no gear. 1st just does not seem to build up …

After reading Mike's write up on cleaning injectors... Do they have to be pop tested afterward??? thx

Ok guys my question is who is running or had experience with these http://www.4x4posi-lok.com/app_dodge.html??? If you are running one whats the install like, op's like, what does the install look like in the cab, etc.? for the price it doesnt look too bad but i would like to hear from you guys.

Check this out guys and gals this might be the ultimate fix for the 5th gear nut... http://compare.ebay.com/like/180851331740?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar
