2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Changed out vp44 a while back and cant belive the fuel mileage increse.Went from 15 mpg to 18mpg,truck is heavy 9900LBS

The 2kreeks hauler has been missing at hiway speeds 'cruise 50/65 mph' every other speed is ok. If truck is acelerating no problem, pulling hard 10k up everything nornmal. The lift pump was replaced approx 3500 miles with a generic AIRTEX BRAND. This was replaced during a oil change when I found out the new carter was starting to fail. Now with new instruments the fuel pressure at idle is 21.5lbs and wot is 16lbs. My basic idle time is approx 5mins and some time more depending on how long of pull and how heavy..Does this high of fuel pressure hurt the vp44?Could this high of fuel pressure cause the missing?Only codes showing with key trip, is 1693 which was left…

Old Fart Non-MotorHead here again. Am looking at a Stewart Warner 0-30 PSI 2" Fuel Pressure Guage for $55.00 Am not a performance nut just want to monitor my F/P while towing 8K. Will this fill the bill? Mohok

Hey,I did the key trick yesterday and the P 1693 codes comes up, but nothing else???? It goes ------;P 1693;------;milage. That's it. I've done this several times and that is all I get... I've even taken it to AutoZone and ran the code scanner and no codes!!!! Any ideas????? :confused: Thanks,Winslow

3 Questions: 1. I looked at the Pricol Optix 2" Fuel Pressure Gauge (Elec) 0.30 PSI (BLK) on Geno's Website. Is this what I need to safely monitor my fuel pressure? 2. Is there a less expensive gauge that would serve the purpose? 3. I have a test gauge that came with the installation of my Banks P/P. Where do I find the fitting to connect it to check my pressure? ThanksOld Fart Non-MotorHead

Ok now, so I finally got my Pod mount and my Pricol Gauges after quite some delay from GOS performance.....although I had to wait, they were good to deal with and answered my questions about the order promptly. Thanks MoparMan for the GOS referral. :thumbsup Now for the installation process. There were no specific instructions on installation, and I thought I had seen a thread for that on this board? Can anyone point me in the right direction for a clean install of the pod and gauges. Thanks Randy

Anybody running "no change" oil? Micron filters etc? Sounds intersting, and to good to be true. . . . . . LOL

Hey,I'm thinking I need to set my valves on my truck sometime soon, but I have a few questions.1. Are the valves set hot or cold???2. Does the valve cover gasket have to be replaced??? Or is it reusable?? It cost $133 from O'Reilly's!!3. Do you just set the engine to TDC on any cylinder or does it have to be #1?? Then you just rotate 180 to BDC... that's right??I've set a lot of valves on VWs, but they are different as you turn the engine to every cylinder!Thanks,Winslow

I would like to "lock out" the T C on my 2000 CTD at times after warmup, around town, If this sounds unusual let me explain why.I have rebuilt the trans w/heavy duty parts, bands, shift kit ect, and an aftermarket HD Torque Converter, a TCS Converter I believe?When I ordered the TC, t he fellow I spoke with told me I needed a T C that locked up at a lower rpm than stock. Being a novice I said "OK". This now seems to be an issue especially around town when warm, and towing on hilly terrain. The trans does not want to unlock and shift down on hills until it is to late, and then slams out of lock up and downshifts hard and then back up to high gear and sometimes back and for…

I'm a Non Motor Head Old Fart. My truck is described in the Sig Sec of this post. I currently tow a T/T of 8K. My CGVW is 16K (8K Truck & 8K Trailer) as per Dodge. I want to move up to towing 14K . What do I need to do, if anything? I have Boost, EGT, and Tranny Gauges. I have a Banks P/P and a S&B Cold Air Intake. :confused

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 just recently installed a power puck on my 2001 Ram...WOW!! what a difference! Frankly its all I need, or can afford. I have however been looking at a lot of posts about smoke switches. There seem to be two different wiring diagrams, One simply jumpers (through a SPST switch) the +5v. to the signal wire, the other seems to say that you need to bypass the fueler box (Edge, Quadzilla...). Does the Power puck qualify as a fueler box, or is more of a glorified boost fooler, and does it need to be bypassed? I've also seen some posts suggesting you wire a 10 ohm, 10 watt, resistor into the jumper wire/switch. has anyone considered installing a rheostat in place of the …

this morning my truck quit running i got an ecu 1691 from what i read that this is a fuel injection pump controller calibration faliure. any body else have this and how do i fix it ????? bt the way its 02 2500 withh about 56,000 miles on it:confused:

2002 Dodge 35002WD Injection pump down(VP44), Death code 216. Any suggestions for source for new pump, also what about the cam sensor

Currently running LT265/75/16E Mich M/S. Dodge recommended LT245/75/16E. Poor fuel mileage towing 8000lb Tag Along Travel Trailer. How much in safety am I giving up if I go to LT235/85/16E A/T in hopes of improving fuel MPHs? 2001 Ram 2500HD Diesel 4sp A/T. Have done the Banks Power Pack deal and A/B Cold Air Filter with no increase in MPHs.

Ok gang I got vp 44 installed and now shifting is grate, no rpm drop, now shifts nice and smooth. But, there is still a problem with shurging when slowing down or push clutch in it surges about 4 times then smooths out. I put new timbomb apps and the lowest we could get numbers down to are .671 is this to high, in other words is apps sending a message to ecm searching for idle mode? Tim said .671 would be ok, I am wondering if there may be a problem here. Oh yea, eng. died several times with old vp and never thru a code. I got to ask what's up with that?

New to Forum. Saw the Scan Display II in the article about MPGs. Where is the best place to get one price wise?Mohok

I have an 01 dually,that I bought from my mother after my dad passed away last year from brain cancer. The truck had sat for about 8 months,and after I had driven it for about 4 months,the lift pump failed on the way home from work,and the truck died and I had to tow it home. I replaced the lift pump,but I still couldnt get it to crank and run, it was getting fuel to all but the #1 cylinder. I checked for trouble code but it didnt display any,because the engine light wasnt on. I bought a lift pump and replaced it. I still cant get it to crank,but I did get some codes this time,they are P-1693,P-1689 @P-0122. Is there something I did wrong or something else wrong with the …

I have a 99 5.9 with a low pressure fuel pump not working. I changed out the pump today (160 bucks)with a new one but still no work. I ran out of time today to check voltage on the pump but I think it is a shoe in that it is not getting voltage during crank. I tried the bump engine but don't start, to hopefully get the low press pump to initiate but it will not. I did get the pump to work once a couple months ago and I think it happened when I drained the fuel filter through the bleed valve on the filter. Then went back to crank and the pump initiated. When I swapped out the pump today the filter was drained but it still did not initiate. All of that leading me to believe…

I am about to put in my 4th computer, the first was used and installed a few years ago, the 2nd was new from cummins, Aug 08. 3rd new from cummins Feb 09, and now it's time to install another. Cummins won't warrantee them because they don't show any codes??? I am running a hypertech reprogrammer, usually set to stage 3. When it runs it runs great but i cannot find anyone who can tell me why it keeps trashing the computer. Has anyone else had this problem or am i the only one?
