2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Anyone try the Blue chip special x vp44, or have any info on them.

Should the Apps be reset after vp44 install? Or let me say my truck batts. have been disconected sence Friday just setting in shop.

Well Gang... Timbo gave me a Timbo APPS sensor to install on my truck and try out. So I'll tell this much its built much better than the factory $400 dollar APPS is! I will say it exhaust brake and high idle ready. This APPS sensor has no effect on these options and will continue to work as usual. What I love about the Timbo APPS sensor is the fact there is no longer a need to hit a particular voltage for the APPS to function correctly or probing the PCM or ECM sockets.. And for you Timbo you need some serious Props for coming up with a simple fix for our trucks! My hats off to you sir! But Here is my quick version write up of how to install a Timbo APPS sensor. 1…

Hey,Before anyone ask I have a needle valve and a Autometer fuel pressure reducer which is a fitting with a small hole in the middle. That setup has worked fine for several months and was working fine after I installed the VP and injectors for about two months.Recently I noticed the fuel pressure gauge start shaking around and dropping down on pressure, a few PSI at most. I changed the fuel filter yesterday and that seemed to fix it for a few miles (5), but today after I down 2-3 miles down the road it started it again!!!!:thud:I played with the needle valve and it seemed when I closed it down more the shaking settled, however, it is still there and I bet as soon as I tak…

Ok here is anew question you guys may be able to help me with. My return line coming from the brass"T" is leaking right at where the rubber hose coupling meets the metal tube. Is it possible to completely do away with the coupler and just cut the hose and just ad a clamp to it, or does it need the fancy coupler??

Ok you will get a laugh out of this, I am putting my new vp on to day and I have everything back on and I am tighten the last thing, the fuel line. When all of the sudden it breaks off in the vp, I am cussing, screaming, stomping my feet when I come to and think oh crap thats the new pump. Well I get the threads out and I say I am the master welder right so I tig the piece back together,cool, I will be back and running in no time. Well I didnt take into thought that the washer has to go back on to seal, duhSo its close to 5:00 central time and I am flying to the house to get on the net to find another one. So I call and they say sure we have one and I say how much to tx. …

So I'm thinking I am going to go with the AirDogII 165. My question is doI need any kind of draw straw in the tank? And I'm also looking for a A-piller gauge mount with a hole for the speaker, and all the suff I need for an electric fuel pressure gauge and the gauge. I think I'm just going to order the pump right from Pure Flow but if anyone knows a place to order the gauge and pod please let me know.

Hey everyone, I'm new to this site. I came across it after trying to figure out some issues I've been having with my '01 24v and am hoping someone could provide me with some insight. Now here's the problem:Today I was driving my '01 24v (mods in signature) and everything was perfectly normal. I then shut it off and about two hours later started it up. When I started it up again, the water temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, and tach were all not working. The truck was running and idling perfectly fine and the check engine light did not come on. I did notice that when I turned the key to the start position, the oil pressure and water temperature gauge both twitched, so …

Hey Gang... I got ahold of the local fuel station owner and going to see what information I can get about diesel fuel and the quality and testing the fuel must meet... He said he would look up the shipping invoice and see if he could find any information about pourt point, HFRR, and othe good information. Lets see where this goes...

Having a drivability problem (98.5/24V/4sd auto/4x4/4.10 gear) I’m losing about 200 rpms at speed. Feels like its losing torque converter lock up at about 70 mph. Lock up is obvious and strong at 45 mph but at 70 the rpms will fluctuate between 2100 and 2400 with no change in speed. Changed out the tcc solenoid/over drive solenoid, governor solenoid and governor pressure sensor no change. Installed manual tcc switch, sitting still, truck in drive flipped the switch and killed the engine but no change in lock up at speed. Some lose in fuel economy, about 1mpg. Took it to a transmission shop they said they couldn’t find anything wrong, computer commands lock up at the right…

I f overflow valve opens at 14lbs then with stock lift pump how can it open to circulate and cool the pump? And speaking of cooling the pump, can my Edge Ez be causing my vp44 to get hot and cause failure. I now have a new style Edge Ez with the power switch in the cab. The old Edge Ez had corrosion inside the box so they sent me a new one for 99.00. Could the corrosion cause a short or cause pump failure. I am still looking for anything to explain pump failure. I have a list of people 9 mile long that tell me I weld on my 01 bed all the time and no problems.

Im in the process of adding some extra fuel filtration. Also want to get rid of the 6mm line off the filter bowl and upgrade it. could someone tell me the size of the fitting for the filter bowl and on the VP? Thanks

Had an issue with brakes start up last night and today. When applying the brakes and almost to a stop (Maybe 5mph), it feels like the ABS is kicking on? this in on dry pavement. not traction issues. Of course when this happens stopping distance goes wayyy up! I'm not really sure what to check. Wheel speed sensor maybe?? Any ideas??

Can somebody give me a number of grounds under the hood. I am thinking maybe some grounds are missing. I know the truck was wrecked before I bought it, but very little damage, left fender and grill.I am haveing problems with vp44's I am on the 4th one now, and grounds are all I can think of. I am thinking if I just go buy a wireing harness I will know all conections are good and all grounds are there.Thanks

HowdyMy third post, yee ha. I did my research, made sure I had the correct coolant, followed the procedure and turned the engine on to get vacum to turn heater on. I drained it but when I refilled it, it only took 4 gallons. I was told with refill, it was 5 to 5.5 gallons. Any thoughts? also, some FYI, I had to replace my ball joints, and track bar at 60,000 miles. I put Moogs on so am hoping these will last. MarkFlagstaff, AZ

I got a diesel leak coming from the bottom of the lift pump were apparently there is an electrical connection,I have already checked the fuel line connections and they are dry so I am pretty sure is coming from there.Is there a fix to this or do I need to buy a new lift pump.

Im going to replace my 7mm nozzle gaskets ( 1.5mm) in my 01 Dodge Cummins, because i think one of them is leaking causing my rough idle at first intial start up. I have a question on the installation parts. Some people are telling me I should also replace 6 banjo connector gaskets ans 6 square cut o-rings. What are these two other ones? Do they mean the square cut o-rings are the connector o-rings? The banjo connectors I have no clue what they are, maybe one of you know what they are.

Ok so I did the radiator flush the other day and also replace the thermostat . And today when I was making the crankcase breather I saw a few drops of antifreeze on one of the bars of the suspension right below the belt ,so I cleaned it and took it of to pick up the fuel sending unit and when I came back I took a look at it and saw the same drops I follow the leak and it looks like is coming out from the gear cover and like a small hole thats above were the oil pan and the block meets ,thats were I think is coming is there a particular place they leak need some help please?

Up date on vp from h--- it took about one month for pump to go from dieing once in a while to dieing over 100 times in 10 mile could not take it any longer pull it in grage and ordered new pump. We will see how good BD is on there warranty, 5 months old. Oh and never threw a code. I will try to keep you up dated on what happen to it if BD will let me know.

Today I had to do a repair to my fuel return line coming off of the VP at the pressure regulating banjo. The steel tube cracked where it is pressed into the banjo. I was 40 miles away from home, luckily I had an old washing machine hose, and some SS clamps in the truck. Made the repair and ordered the new part over night from Cummins. I pulled in, and smelled fuel, the customer standing out side my truck confirmed this I am sure it happened from replacing the VP 44 2 times in a year, it did bend as I turned out the banjo bolt that last time, as I recall. ---------- Post added 03-10-2010 at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was 03-09-2010 at 05:27 PM ---------- …
