2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Well, last week I changes injectors to a stock size set I bought in hopes of gaining some mileage. They did not yield any better mileage so I put the old ones back in. When I removed them the first time the truck ran great, idled right at 800 and had balls. I pulled the injectors apart and noticed the pintle in #1 was really stuck in the nozzle. I wasnt sure if the pintles from stock injectors were the same size as bigger injectors so I measured them with a micrometor and they seemed the same so I swapped one out with the sticky one. The truck fired up pretty quickly but is idleing at 1100 rpm. What did I do wrong? --- Update to the previous post... Resset the a…

Ok first my apologies if these two questions are in the wrong area......first question does anyone know if the dodge srt 10 hoods will fit on the 98.5 3500 trucks?....second has anyone heard of using one of the "farm and garden" type sprayers for an after market lift pump ? the specs I got on one were as follows 2.4 gpm and a pressure rating 45 psi ....unfortunately i don't believe the pressure was on lines of 1/2 i think they were only around a 1/4 inch any insight would b great thanks all ...and sorry for not posting for a while the army has had me busy ....good news is the old truck got some work done while i was gone ..pics to follow soon

As promised. I forgot to take pictures yesterday when I did this, plus I did it a slightly different way than the way I am going to explain. My gauge I have had for years, I drilled the check valve out WAY bigger than when it came from snap on. This way, I can do a check without the rockers on...... Anyway. You will need to get your hands on. 1. A compression test gauge suitable for a diesel engine's high compression. I have a snap-on MT 33 B, as well as a C model. Both are good for 800 PSI. And use standard 1/4" snap in quick connect air tool fitting. 2. A compression test adapter. Looks like an injector and fits where the injector goes. For the ISB (98-2007 i…

I have heard alot about "Timbo" and the remarkable price of his replacement APPS. Is there a site to order from or contact info for him? Thanks for any help.:banghead:

I hate to ask this but I am searched out and don't know what the issue could be. The last couple of times out my truck has developed a weird pulsating, choking, issue while driving. It mostly happens when I am going highway speeds 60-65 and gently get in to the throttle a little more to get up a hill or pass someone. This happens when towing and not towing. If i back out of it it will stop, If I roll into the accelerator more it goes away. It has become a consistent problem. It is the truck in my sig line. So far I 've gone and checked codes.(key trick) Got the 1693 Companion code, had the codes read at autozone and nothing popped up. fuel pressure is consistent at 16 ps…

ok automatic tranny guys..good thing to check is the line on the drivers side,rear line.it is the return line.that line there going up to the tranny cooler lays on the the front cross memeber and can and will cause it happend to me saturday will vibrate and wear a hole in the tubing if you dont cut a piece of rubber hose and clamp it to it.we cut the bad spot out,double flared it,and put a piece of tranny hose rated on it and clamped it in front of double flare so it would blow off.the lines are half inch...fyi...hope this helps!!

I just got a 99 dodge cummins 2500 4x4 auto trans.....spoke to mopar man last night about my lift pump not working and I havent checked codes yet but Im sure the main pump is shot too....I tried accelerating and bad hesitation and a little white smoke.....one thing im concerned about though, before it did this yesterday,the day before I was at a dead stop and hit the fuel kinda hard....it jerked 4 or 5 x's really hard....didnt feel like hesitation...felt lke the rear end was gonna come out from under it....almost like the rear tires were slipping and then catching again.....could this be related to the fuel prob?....it just didnt feel right ....it was jerking pretty hard

I posted this over at the cummins fourm and did not get any responce worth looing in to. i seem to get a more mature responce over here. I have a used 01 24v with and auto transmission. I know they don’t last forever. I do not know what has been done to the truck. When I bought it had gauges pryo, boost, trans temp, and part of a bully dog security system. I tow very little. But it’s a jeep or fire wood when I do. My question is when I add an edge comp what’s going to happen to my transmission. How bad can it be? Should I just let the TC blow? What happens when it goes? What about the clutch pack? I don’t know what work has been done to it. The car fax said th…

I needed to put the 7x12's on the shelf.I wanted to see if i could get better mpg.As well as help my new vp last a little longer.I traded some guy.He wanted my old hx40.I wanted his rv injectors.So he gave me some cash and the injectors,i gave hin the 40.I sent the injectors just to get freshened up.The guy at the injector shop told me they were crusty.He fixed them up and did whatever them guys do and sent them back. So i put them in.I had hard cold starting problems.Somehow air was getting into the system.I did find the return line needed to be tightened.Did that little to no change.Then i remember the injector guy saying something about (They should work themselves in)…

Built the high idle bomb box and when ever I hook the box up truck goes into 3 cyc high idle and temp gauge doesn't work I know the wires coming into the cab work like normal when I twiste them together so it the box that's wrong I'll get a picture up soon of it I used 1/8 watt 3.3 , 39 and 56 bought everything prowled had pictured in his CF thread. Any help thanks guys --- Update to the previous post... http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/ad109/Beanerwolfe55/image.jpg

Well... My starter is not hitting all the time anymore and I know the starter contacts are to blame. So I guess its time to make a order to LarryB and get a rebuild kit for the old starter... I'm going to pull the starter out tomorrow morning and pull it apart to inspect everything so while I'm at it I'm going to have the cameras handy and make a write up of it...

Ok - so you know I hate showing my "jr badge" ..... but 65 mph - start to get a shake in the truck front end. Can't feel in steering wheel.Only thing I notice at front end is the inside edge of the tread is definately wearing quicker. Can these 4x4 be balanced,aligned etc ?? Assuming balancing yes ...... alignment other ? Have newish shocks and springs - but they all look/ride ok.

Hey guys... I know you wanted to see the SGII and how I mounted...

Hey gang,Got a question for you. A friend of mine has a Smarty and was going to reset my speedo. Any way he tried it on his without the Smarty tune loaded on and it didn't work he said. Him and I were under the impression that he could reset mine and have the tune on his?? Does anyone have some experience with this??:shrug:Thanks,Winslow

Preempted sorry if this is in the wrong place but my truck has stumped me a little bit of history they came on about three days ago and it has no codes and it just randomly on my way home the abs and park brake light came on and the spedo bounced from actual road speed down ten to twenty mph then back up then down so on and so forth the problem isnt as noticable under thirty and its off until the truck gets on the road I have reset the computer by removing the negative cables then replaced them an hour later no luck so I removed them again and replaced the rear wheel speed sensor hooked up the cables and still no luck.the reason I put this hear is because for our trucks i…

I pulled all rockers off replacement head for my truck and what I noticed was every rocker had scratch marks in the bottom of each rocker and the rocker shaft, Is this normal? I dont like what I am seeing but there is no slack in them that I can feel, I will mic each one tomorrow. Can anyone give me the wear tolarance for this inspection? I did a search and not getting the right info. There is no sluge in head it looks good as far as that go's. I just cant belive the rockers would all have scratch marks like that. Oh and cylinder one and cylinder three had green dots far something I dont know what, cylinder one with one mark and cylinder three with two dots. Also stock t…
