2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Been noticing mist or smoke in the headlights. Yes I yanked the bottle off long ago. Hoping valve seals is all. It doesnt use any coolant still runs the same also doesnt use oil. I am 1/4" over the hash mark on the dipstick but I doubt that's it. But who knows. Odometer reads 323k not sure I trust it. Never had more than a valve adjust. Is it time to upgrade the head? Hoping its semi normal and I'm just noticing since about 90% of my driving is in the dark right now. This is first year in about 8 that I've used her for work.

I installed a Fass Fuel pump & water seperation system & in the instructions it simply says unplug the power for the stock lift pump. Well needless to say that equals codes & Fass tech support had 2 suggestions. 1. leave it uplugged & if the code bothers you some code readers will erase that code from the system. Umm no. 2. If you go to an auto parts store you can by a resistor, "I believe it's 5 ohm & plug the power line into that & it simply tricks the ECM into thinking that it is plugged in and working fine. (hmm sounds like a guess, guessing I can do on my own thx) So anybody have a better idea? I'm actually getting…

I rebuilt my 47re all new parts with a ATS rebuilt shift solenoid. On cold start shifts fine until you you stop it doesn’t down shift and it then starts in second gear and will not go to over drive. basically have reverse, second and drive. (scanner indicates short in solenoid)

Hey guys I just installed adrenaline in my truck I can not get any vehicle selections other than demonstration on my android tablet the Bluetooth pairs and the power levels work but I can not set anything up custom ??? Any ideas

Between selling stuff and saving, I have some extra fun money to spend on making my truck more powerful and hopefully more efficient. I see that DAP has Adrenaline units on sale, so am about to bite the bullet on one of those. I do have some questions as to what other items should be on the shopping list. Here is a list of what I do have or will have done in the next couple of weeks: EGT gauge Fuel Pressure Gauge Modest lift pump (FASS DRP relocated to beside tank with Draw Straw) 3" Exhaust Automatic transmission in good shape, but so far as I know it's mostly stock (accumulator piston, governor pressure solenoid, Servo Cove plate, pres…

What do you guys think? Does one have an advantage over the other?

I have a 2002 dodge 3500 24 valve Cummins 5 speed manual, got in it the other day to move it and it fires right up but noticed when I put it into first gear I have no throttle but idle, could this be a apps faulty ?

Was having over boost issues and when I put air to my wastegate it wouldn’t budge so I pulled the turbo thinking the valve in the turbo was froze. Got it all apart and turbo is nice and free but I noticed that the actuator rod was stretched out pretty good. Does this look normal? Or did the fella crank the waste gate down to get more boost

Having a strange issue that I'm trying to figure out and hoping one of you guys can help out? Just joined here but been a member of the other place for years. Anyway I've got the 2001 mentioned in my signature and I'm getting ready to take a 1200 mile trip on Friday, but having an issue with my truck that just started last week? Basically I randomly experience a total power loss, but the engine doesn't die. More like total loss off fuel or throttle control. Fuel PSI has never been an issue and is the real reason I bought the iQuad. Pump is tapped but rarely use it as I'm really just trying to run stock. I've been running with "0" level for the past few months and t…

1999 dodge 2500 Auto new batteries Grid heater deleted Everything else pretty much stock I replaced my alternator in preparation for getting my ECM rebuild. Installed my rebuilt alternator after they replaced the brushes, diodes and rectifier. Started the truck. No charge. Alternator got very hot. Went and got a brand new alternator.. Same thing.. I am looking for help!! Where to start trouble shooting. Hoping the PCM isn't fried too! I am headed to the store tomorrow to buy a new multimeter, mine broke recently, to check the green wire coming off the alternator. Im more worried there is a short somewhere in …

Hi everyone my name is Andrew and I'm brand new to the forum. I was hoping you could help me with my ECM problem. I have no idea what caused my ECM to fail.. Is this a common issue? Do I just replace it and cross my fingers or do I need to investigate further? The truck ran just fine until I pulled in my driveway (luckily) and it died. I had it checked out and was told the microprocessor fried and the ECM is deemed unrepairable.. Since I can't buy a new one (discontinued) do I buy a used one with no warrantee or do I get a reman unit? If reman who do you recommend? I've called a handful of remans companies and every place seems very shad…

Anyone know what this thread size is and what its actually called? 1/8" ntp screws into it but this is a straight thread that seals with an o ring. NPT is tapered. Thread pitch gauges are at the shop

So long story short truck has a nv4500 swap from an 01 with an 02 motor that had the auto. Truck is extremely gutless until around 2000 rpms. Once you hit that it’s a completely different truck. Has an air dog that keeps 18psi fuel pressure. Have cleaned both iat and map. Can free rev all day but once you put a load in it there is a very noticeable lack of power. Checked codes and only codes I am getting are for the auto trans.

I bought the truck 3 years ago and never noticed the WTS light didnt work but it still started and worked fine. I rebuilt the top end last summer and after that the WTS light started working normally. About a month ago I realized the starter was going bad because it would just click but if I tried it once or twice again it would start, a few weeks later I was planning on going on a camping trip so I swapped the starter for a new one, I disconnected the batteries when doing so but at the end I tightened the top bolt last and then hooked up the batteries, I recall hooking up the batteries then making sure the bottom bolts were tight and arking the wrench on the positive t…

Please Help!! I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500. It has a 5.9 Cummins Turbo Diesel engine. The problem occurs when engine is cold. I thought it was only in winter like now. But it also happens in summer just not half as bad. when engine is first started cold I get white smoke out of exhaust and it stumbles for about a minute in summer. And if left unplugged (engine block heater) in winter it will smoke bad and stumble for like 5minutes!! Then when it warms up enough to drive it wont go above like 20 30 maybe 40mph for like 2miles or more. Seems like until engine reaches a certain temp.?? Anyway then finally everything will kick in and truck will run and drive great!! I was tol…

This thread is where I will post updates of my modifications, issues i've had, and potential upgrades I'm considering. This page is dedicated to @TFaoro, because without him my truck would be bone stock still.... To start off, today my VP died. It took me by surprise, as it gave no indication there was an issue. But, it threw Death Code P1691, and that's that. Good thing it died before I bought tires. Is DAP everyone's first choice for a new VP?

Not sure where i should post this so I'm doing it here. When i click on "donate" i get "something went wrong". I know it's been awhile since i donated but i thought thats how i did it before. What am i doing wrong?

I lost the rear driveshaft on my truck. Just wondering how bad it is to drive in 4x4 with no rear shaft?!

heard alot of different views on what oil to use in this nv 4500. dealer even said they switched them to full synthetic atf+4.did not want to try that. what have you guys been using?

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??
