2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Gents, I replaced my front u-joint at the pinion yoke a few months back. I was in the process of installing my posi lock when I noticed I had another problem??‍♂️.... The caps on that u joint fell out. Does anyone have a spicer part number? I have also attached a picture from my buddies 01 and it has a different yoke that retains the caps. I cannot seem to get a definitive answer for the correct u joint. So so far I think I need a spicer 5-7437x but I am still not for certain. Anyone have any ideas? Also, I’m not opposed to switching over to another brand.

While putting on my bhaf I noticed I do have a software update sticker on my pcm on the firewall. So is there a way to take the numbers and find out what the update was?

I recently purchased a blanket for my stock HX35. FYI, the only place that makes one for the wastegated HX35 is https://thermalzero.com The family decided to take a trip to the coast to get out of the smoke so this was my chance to see how it worked. Because most of the western side of America is up in flames, the only way we could get to the ocean was up into Oregon and down hwy 199, as everything else was closed... Not a big deal but this meant that I was forced to drive up the long summit I-5 grade by Mt Ashland. I'm not sure how high this pull is...but its certainly a long pull and feel like you're driving uphill forever. Thankfully though, we drove t…

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.

@Mopar1970man - Was looking at one of your YouTube vids on some of your iQuad numbers and you mentioned on the phone to me earlier that your fuel and intake air are practically equal - or chasing each other as you said it in the vid. How are you achieving this? And is this any correlation to optimizing MPGs? My operating fuel temp is always higher than my intake air temp, probably 20-30 degrees higher if memory serves. They never get that close. Curious on others out there what they see.

Tested batteries and terminals and wont get a crank. 2000 stock dually, 5 speed.

Is it possible to replace the lower seal on the gearbox where the pitman arm meets it? Its leaking pretty badly on my new-to-me 99 and I am wondering if I need a new gearbox or just a new seal if its possible. Anything helps, thanks!!

Hey was wondering if anyone installed a auxillary trans filter, like a spin on hydraulic filter. What micron and flow would a guy need? Thanks:thumb1:

I'm doing my best to try and get my new turbo installed, started last week and only got things disassembled before I ran out of energy. I got back to it today and am almost done but I was unable to get the down pipe installed. I was hoping it would go right in as I am replacing a DEP pipe(HY35) with another DEP pipe(HX40). It looks like I am gonna have to beat the firewall or the pipe to get it to fit. Should I just take turns hammering on both until it fits?

I started the truck up this morning, no issues. Let it warm up for about 20mins before driving. Drove it about 10 mins to the babysitters an shut it down. Went to leave, an it won't start now! Cranks over good but doesn’t fire. What could it be??

Hey guys sitting here freezing, thinking about summer and truck pulling. Wondering if there are any good suggestions for a front weight ballast on the 2nd gen trucks, something that can handle 1500lbs and be removed from the truck. Thanks!

To install the 1/2" fuel line you need to get the quick connect off the top of the fuel tank. They call them quick connect, but NOT quick disconnect. Any tips of removing the quick connect? Drop tank? If I drop the tank I should do a draw straw too. - - - Updated - - - Someone told me that a zip tie fastened around the coupler at the release ears will allow the line to come off.

So trans and tcase is in the truck and i got it to move this past weekend outside the shop. YAY, well right after I rebuilt it I tested operation and it worked, now after it setting awhile then finally getting put in, it works but only in one gear, I dont remember off the top of my head if it was 4x4 high or 4x4 low but definitely 4x4. Im guessing something got seized inside form it setting and me not being proactive and moving the gears ever so often to prevent this... So with it installed and fluid in it, i guess i can just keep trying to rock it back and forth and hopefully it frees up? i did see the 4x4 indicator switch sometime seizes up to so i might remove that asw…

Wanting to build my truck to 600hp it has a s366 quadzilla air dog 150 arp head studs what else I’m I gonna need to hit 600

Does the head end of fuel injector line have some type of Teflon grommet or is a metal to metal contact. Could I clean up the cross over tubes and replace the o-rings and re-use them. I cleaned up cross over tube for #1 cylinder. It is pitted.

It did it about 6 months ago and I just shrugged it off. Yesterday it jumped out twice, It has new oil in it. When I bought the truck it just had fifth gear fixed to keep it from falling off. I am thinking they welded it on because sometimes you shift and its smooth and other times its mushy and does not feel like its all the way in. What I do is go to neutral and back to fifth and it feels right then. Can this be a easy fix or just can it and get another trans, it has 294k on it. If can it who would you recommend ?

Every once in a while i experience a very quick loss of power as if you turned the truck off and then it comes back and acts normal. The whole thing only will last for a fraction of a second but is very easily noticeable. Sometimes, rarely, but sometimes when I first crank the truck and go to pull out of my parking spot the truck will just instantly die. Then i can fire it back off with no problems after that. Only showing 3 codes which is p01693, p01694 and p0230, I have a mechanical fuel pump on the truck so that's why its giving a code P0230 but I am curious about the others. I'm gonna start by checking grounds and the spliced factory grounds to make sure that couldn't…

What up you guys! My rear end has been screaming at me ever since Ive owned my truck. I just ordered a master rebuild kit for my 99 auto 47RE with the dana/spicer 70. I'm trying to figure out what carrier clutches to order? the Kit did not come with the carrier clutches and I want to replace them. Reliability is the number one most important thing for me, but posi would be cool. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! If there has already been a write up on this Im sorry i could not find it. Thanks in advance

Ok here it is y2k Cty auto with fass 95 at the tank stock filter setup. If I park it up hill I have to reprime it in the morning.

Which side of the fuel filter should I be looking? Thanks for the help

What do you folks think about statement below for our trucks? True or false or full of it? (from http://midwestecmrepair.com/new-standard.html ) How dead is your ECM? There's a few different levels of non-functionality Key on; stop engine / check engine / engine warning lights come on & go back off (normal) stop engine / check engine / engine warning lights come on, go off & come back on (active fault) stop engine / check engine / engine warning lights come on & stay on (ECM locked up) stop engine / check engine / engine warning lights don't come on at all (ECM not powering up) xxxxxxxx…
