2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

When I purchased my truck the hydro-boost had a leak, but instead of replacing the gaskets I just purchased a whole new unit, (I figured after 205,000 miles I might as well). Now 2,500 miles later of no problems or leaks, I got in my truck yesterday morning, started it, and a couple seconds of idling later there was a loud noise coming from the hydro-boost. I quickly shut off my truck, waited a few minutes and then tried to start it up again, and it started doing it again. (P.S. whenever I tried turning the steering wheel or pressing the brake the sound would get louder). However I came home from work that evening and started it up and it didn’t make the sound, and drove …

I’ve been having hell with my ‘99, it’s a 2500 4x4 with an automatic trans. 130,000 miles all stock except for a few cosmetic things. One day out of the blue the trans went into limp mode, I hooked up my scan tool and I didn’t have any communication with the transmission. I started checking wiring harnesses and senors on the transmission. Found the output shaft speed sensor was bad so I replaced it and now the truck shifts 1-3 but has no O/D. It’s not my daily driver so I let it sit for a few days and came back to it when I had some time and I noticed it wasn’t charging the batteries and the A/C wasn’t working either. I wanted to verify that the it wasn’t each system fail…

So I just had a Southbend Dual Disc Clutch installed in my NV5600 truck and the whole truck shakes. If you press the clutch pedal in the shaking stops. Once the truck warms up it shakes less. It feels like the truck is running on 5 cyl. What is going on? Did the shop install the clutch wrong? Is this normal?

Just when you think your done- another issue. I have an situation where when in 4wd the truck functions fine (mostly to pull my boat out of the water at the lake) no issues. The problem is that if I turn either left or right while in 4wd the front end shudders pretty violently. When I straighten back up its fine. I got the truck off the ground and ran it in 2wd and 4wd with the wheel straight ahead. All worked fine until in 4wd if I turned the wheel either right or left the front end began to shake as if something was out of balance but in a big way. I straighten back out and all is well. Seems like something is majorly wrong here. The front differenti…

Hey Guys, New weird problem. Its a 2001 3500 auto trans 5.9l 85,000 miles. The issue is when I make a very hard turn, both right or left, the rear end (or something in the back) seems to be extremely loose and starts to bounce and make an extremely loud banging noise that goes away after I slow down and straighten out. It really feels like the entire truck is going to rattle apart until I get it straight again. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Neal

2001.5 6 speed was driving home just fine when I noticed white smoke coming from the tailpipe. If I hit the skinny pedal I got a lot of black smoke. Pyros were a tad high but not dangerous. Boost normal. Fuel pressure normal. Temperature oil pressure all normal. Even felt like normal power. Regardless took it easy for 5 miles to my driveway. Shut it down. Turned the key. It fired up. Same smoke issues. Shut it down. Turned the key. It rolls over like there is no fuel. Fuel pressure gauge is still good. Popped the hood. Recently had the fuel pressure gauge installed and noticed it was weeping a bit. Thought maybe I was getting air in the fuel …

Hey folks, I've got a hard start issue that started when I pulled off the interstate in 115 degree heat. Almost always has a hard start if the engine is warmed up and sits a couple minutes now. Sometimes it will hard start if sitting overnight. The first time was 1k miles after a fuel filter change on a road trip from Vegas to southern Idaho, but I did the standard bump the pump and it ran great after that. I can't see any fuel leaking anywhere. I've always seen a little drip off the tank if I really top it off, but that's been the case since I bought it. I just ordered a DDRP from FASS, but haven't installed it. I'm driving a loop from Vegas>Oreg…

Hi All, I have a question, I am in the home stretch of swapping my 24v i am needing to tap for key on power for the lift pump and fuel shutoff, those that have p pump swapped their trucks, where did you tap in for key on power? just looking for ideas before i get to that step Thanks.

Ive got a 2000 dodge 2500 regular cab long bed nv4500 and a np241 dld im needing a measurement on the front drive line fully collapsed fron the transfercase flang to center of u joint and on the rear fron center of ujoint to center of ujoint im going to be measureing them this weekend to have them made where i swaped the 4500 in and want to make sure im close on the measurements

after doing a head gasket job on my 1999 24v cummins i started my truck back up after getting everything back together, and i noticed there was a check engine light but didn’t think much of it. once i drove it i realized i had absolutely NO power and no throttle response after 1200 rpms. if i kept the pedal all the way down it would slowly get up to 2000rpms so that my auto trans would finally shift. after getting on a back road and giving her WOT i was able to get up to speed but it was a dog. i had no problems with my VP44before hand. also, when we had the code reader plugged in while driving it said i was only giving 40% throttle while i had it WOT. i have zero boost p…

I need help here. I have a 2001 with the 6 speed. The clutch went out a couple weeks ago so I decided to do some long overdue work on the truck while tackling the clutch job. I put a new south bend dd in and a new slave cylinder assembly. I also changed the drivers fender as well and pressure washed the entire engine and undercarriage. The truck ran perfect when I shut it off to do all the work. I have the air dog 2 with a 2 year old industrial injection vp44. I've always had 20 psi fuel pressure at idle with about 17 at WOT. When I got everything back together and started the truck, it idles perfect but it won't rev above 2000 rpm and started defueling causing a missing …

I poured a gallon of my wife's cooking oil in the tank. Man! I cannot believe how smooth the Cummins seems to love it. I'm pretty sure it has more power up the hills to boot.

Hi, I just joined this site but had visited it for a while now. Lots of good info,Thank you!!! I have found similar threads related to my issue, but seems like thread ends before the problem is resolved or 99% of the time everybody narrow it down to junk vp. I got a 2002, 2500, 6spd, 4x4, qwd cab, with 130k, air dog, 100hp injectors, 3.55 gears, qwad with pulse, 5" pipe, Problem I'm having is driving on highway over 65mph pulling a trailer(rated 14k gross but about 8-10k total) at steady speed , when going up hill truck starts to surge but not much it's noticeable enough to know there is a problem. And if i turn up the fuel box up it gets worse. so it tells me it's fuel r…

Hello there's everyone, hope y'all are doing well I've been fighting an ongoing issue that renders my truck useless, it will not rev past 2300 rpm no matter what you do, once you get past 2000 it pops and misses terribly here's the codes are 1698 ive had forever with zero issues and the p0230 is from my air dog. my grid heater is deleted so I believe that's the other two but the p0251 makes me wonder. It's not the VP as I thought because I got it warrantied with no better results any help would Be great thank you 61619919762__5C17D84F-A4A4-46C2-AA6C-40B6342BFF4C.MOV

2001 24v. Blue Chip V44, Fass DDRP lift pump, Beans sump with 1/2" hoses, otherwise stock. Autocomputers repaired my ECM and PCM ECM- Replaced Lift Pump circuit, Resoldered CPU, Resoldered Flash Chip, Replaced APP circuit, Replaced 9.5 and 5v drivers. PCM- Replaced voltage regulator, replaced 3 220uf caps, resoldered CPU and Noise Filter. I have replaced the alternator and installed a 5A fuse to protect the PCM. I am testing the wire harness for shorts and haven't found any. If I do the W-T mod first, will it be safe to connect everything and turn the ignition on so I can connect my new BlueDriver and check for fault…

hey guys! Im new here, and new to the cummins world, so please bare with me! I recently picked up a 2002 ram 3500 dually, 6 speed. There are absolutely no modifications the the truck except a brand new raptor frrp 100 gph lift pump, and a brand new thoroughbred diesel injection pump. My problem before was, i started up, warmed up, and left the house, made it about 10 minutes down the road before i started bucking and misfiring, come to find out i had lost all fuel pressure and got the amazing code of p0216. I went ahead and replaced both the lift pump and injection pump, checked voltages on the plugs, checked the numbers on th…

So I started my trip back to Colorado and did not Get very far. About 100 miles. And when slowing to a stop for a gas station the truck died. It will not start again. Any ideas? No codes... Also no tach on dash and no bus message

Hey guys, about 4 months after installing a rebuilt ECM on my 2001 Ram 2500 4x4 automatic transmission truck, I pulled out on the road in front of my house and started accelerating up the hill. the truck stumbled really bad, seemed to catch and then went dead. I rolled backward down the hill and rolled back into the yard and started working on the truck. It would not do anything, it would just crank over and not even try to start at all, after trying a couple of times, the fuel pump came on and would not go off until I pulled the relay/fuse. At this point I pulled the smarty out from under the seat, I hooked it up, and it gave an ERROR COMM. TIME OUT, after calling smarty…

So yesterday my truck kept cutting out and having no throttle response. And no wait to start light. Does this mean ecm? No codes either. Already did w-t ground wire mod. Barely started after it died yesterday. Had to turn it over for 15-20 sec before it started back up to get me out of the middle of the road. Checking alternator today. If it is the ecm, can anyone recommend a good place? I’m looking to get one ASAP as it’s my only vehicle. I found this one from Ares Technologies, but i don’t think I know what it looks like because I thought I found it and then they gave me a part number for one 2 times as much.

Not to long ago I did the w-t ground mod with the 150amp breaker on the charge lead from the alternator to the battery (pass side) and it tripped a couple times shortly after install. On the advise here I disconnected the relays for the grid heaters and no more trouble until yesterday. Grid heaters still disconnected, I fired up the truck to run to town, made it about a mile when I noticed the "check gauges" light and my voltage was down to around 10 volts according to the dash gauge. Popped the hood and found the breaker tripped, not sure why. Did not have the lights on, a/c was off. Shouldn't have been any major power draw at the time.
