2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

02 3500 2WD 6speed dually 214,000 miles This is kinda hard to describe but I'll try Over the last few months, started to notice while driving down the road at highway speeds - most notably above 60 mph, whenever I hit a slight (or any sort of) bump in the road - as the suspension bounces down - I hear a whining gear-ish grinding sound. It only happens on the downward bounce. Points to ponder - - Truck has a service body installed. it's not super heavy but the helper springs are just touching. I also have firestone air springs installed - but I don't use them to "hold" weight or lift it up etc. I usually keep the pressure low for added stability - 10 …

Hello, I am writing to get help; I fitted a Cummins isb235 5.9 24 valve of 2001 on a toyota land cruiser hzj74. I connected the wires of the controller as reported on the forums; the engine light comes on and the car walking but not more than 80 km/h. the engine revs very slowly and it shows that at some point does not increase further rounds because the unit removes the current. The electrical connections are made; I have assembled only the engine; the engine have a plug with 50-pin and 2 plug harness from pin 11 and 14. I have no obd. Of the 50 pin I connected 48-50-15-35 with the positive and 30-49 negative battery; in the 11-pin plug I connected 7-1 …

Have a 99 Ram, it was shutting down when I would turn on the headlights. I determined that the 2 wires going to the grid heater relay is coming on with the headlights. It is a orange/black and a yellow/black wire. from a diagram, I see that this comes out of the ECM and triggers + 12 when the key is turned on depending on temp. I am trying to trace these wires back to the ECM and having a tough time. It looks as though the loom may go through the firewall and into the cab.

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.

ok before i break this how does the crankcase vent {the big plastic piece not the hose] come off just twist it which way ? i want to extend the tube after i finish the injectors and adjust the valves also 8- 18 or 10- 20 on the valves?

'99...Coming out of the big wiring harness below the vp44 at the side, front, area of the motor right where the engine serial number tag is. There are two electric connectors that are factory plugged. Just curious if anyone knows what they were supposed to be for. They both have factory connector plug caps on them

OK gang i have so questions about the CPS. First off i have a miss at ideal and up to about 1100 after that smooth as glass. I have been through everything I even tried putting in my 225 HP injectors to see it my 150 hp are having some kind of issue. Had them tested and they came back good. I have taken every connection apart and cleaned them. I Then cleaned all my grounds and still the same. So all i can think of is the CPS. Issue number two while driving down the road my truck has a lot of engine noise. Then like magic it like the engine changes the timing. It is half as load and can only hear the turbo. Normally it seem to quiet down when i am pulling hills or when i a…

I have a 1998 qcsb 4x4 5 speed and I noticed a slight movement in the tach needle at all rpms. It has done it since I bought it back in april and was wondering if it might be a warning sign of a sensor on its way out. It only moves about the width of the needle and I cant feel and change in speed or engine noise. I am going on a 3 week trip at the end of the month and thought that I might bring a spare but I don't know if it would be, the crank or cam sensor. All of my other trucks seem to have a rock solid tach needle but this has me bugged.

So my brother is about to buy a new lift pump for his truck. He has 150hp injection edge ez and wants a little bigger turbo. Should he get a 95 of 165. Fass or airdog. Any help or suggestions is appreciated!

Hey guys I'm kinda new here. I been reading for months and now I have questions lol. So I got a couple 12v trucks which I love and now I bought a 24v. So far I like the truck but the electrical issues are driving me nuts. My truck still has the warranty installed in tank lift pump. I recently had the vp die so I put a good one on. Changed filter as well. Truck ran mint after. The next day i get this rough idle. So i check fuel pressure its around 13psi and never goes under 10. Scanned it and did the key trick. I have a 1693 with key trick and two 1688 with the scanner. EGT low and EGT high...there is no egt on this truck soo im confused there.. the truck runs mint just a…

Maybe a numb question but I can figure it out. Fuse box in the engine bay, 140 amp alternator fuse, there is a positive and negative lead coming from the batteries. Why am I not getting a good ground there? Would be a nice clean place but I can’t get a good ground!! Can anyone enlighten me

I am still running the OEM muffler on my '02. Just wondering when and if it should be replaced. It has logged 363,000 miles and has been in operation for over 20 years. It still seems to perform fine, but maybe it is one of those things that can slowly deteriorate internally and cause increasing back pressure without knowing it. Should I just keep running it or replace it as a maintenance item? Any thoughts? - John

My new truck has a Karr security system in it. I think Karr is out of business, and I can't seem to find a manual and I don't really even know the model of the system, but I want it gone.Any bright Ideas guys? I can upload photos saturday or sunday.

Wont shift to 3rd or od

so I just purchased a 2000 dodge ram 2500 with the 24v cummins in it. When I start the truck it blows smoke or steam on the windshield and fogs it up. What could be causing it?

2001...replaced fuel tank with pre 1999 tank, I’m not sure exactly what year donor was. On the inside of the (newer) 2001 tank, where the fuel goes in there is a 4 or 5 inch spout that deflects fuel just a little bit to the rear of tank. Pre 1999 tank does not have this spout inside of tank. Parts manual shows tank is used by gas and diesel models. Other minor differences …hose size, where hoses go into tank and different thread on gas cap. Question 1 Any ideas as to why OEM wants fuel diverted a bit to rear of tank? Wondering if I'm missing anything of real importance?

Just installed a new to me (Reman) VP44 after my old one went out completely. During the install I took out the factory lift pump which was mounted on the block since I already have an airdog 100 on the frame. As well as replacing push rod gasket. Blocked off mounting bracket for old lift pump with a big block chevy fuel pump block off plate (Mr. Gasket #1516) frees up some space and adds a little bling lol. So original lift pump and fuel filter are completely off truck. I go to start the truck after purge all air out of injector pump as well as injector lines. Ive done this before a few months before after new fuel filters but i definitely feel like more fuel was put out…

anybody ever see or have these installed? http://www.ebay.com/itm/271635496536?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true Gearing up (ha ha) to start the freshening of my nv5600 for the project truck... and stumbled across these heavier than oem springs for the synchronizer rings. Supposed to make the rings more aggressive at speeding up or slowing down the required gear for engagement. Seems like when you 'add' pressure in a certain spot, problems could surface elsewhere.. I think this would be good for the speed shifting crowd, and when shifted 'normally'.. could help add life to these very expensive rings..

Since I'm down here in Mojave Valley AZ the daytime temps are 112 to 116°F out it been getting easy for the teansmission to reach 170 to 180F without a trailer. Now with my homebrew heat shield is take much longer to get temp and is roughly 20 to 40°F cooler now floating around 140°F after going to Bullhead City AZ and back to Needles CA and home again just at 145°F compared to yesterday at 180°F. The test run was 50 miles in today's heat and traffic.
