2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Driving down the road truck goes out of o/d and the o/d and trans temp light comes on then goes back to normal.

Ok, well, as some of you know, my trucks tcase pooped the bed on the way to my new job. It's home now, safe at my friends shop. I'm 900 miles away though, so I can't do anything but think about what I need to fix, what I should do, etc. Now obviously the tcase is priority. Once that's fixed, she's good to go. But given that the last two times this truck has gone on a long trip and left me stranded, I'm leery about some things. The truck has 265000 on it (I think). I think the vp is the original. Not sure if the previous owner had it rebuilt, or replaced, or anything. He said he had the transmission rebuilt, but that was an obvious lie. So I choos…

Needed a quad cab, so I traded my old single cab for a 2000 24v auto with issues. I've read on the dead voltage gauge issue (mine has it). I've replaced the alternator, batteries, cleaned the grounds on the fender well, frame, batteries, front core support and the issue still remains. Previous owner had an alternator that was internally regulated as it only had the power wire going to it and it charged but the gauge didn't work. I replaced it with a new factory alternator and now not only does it not show voltage on the dash, it doesn't charge. Easy checks to hunt down the issue? 2nd issue, I have the tq converter lock unlock syndrome. Its constant…

I’m looking at buying a 99 24 valve that has been rolled over to either part out or fix up. It has 285k runs well drives well I’m not sure if it’s a 5 or 6 speed yet. Owner claims it gets 21MPG on hwy. Also says he still drives the truck occasionally. He wants 4500$. What do you guys think?

I'm looking at buying a OBDLINK LX can anyone that has used one chime in and let me know are they worth the money to buy. Will it actually read and display engine check light codes? Or would it be a waste of money?

hello everyone I hope you are having a good start to the weekend my question is this my truck has in tank lift pump and it's dead so I'm ready to make the upgrade but first I need to know what's the best way to do it my truck is 2001 3500 5.9 24v with 6 speed manual transmission I thank you all for your advice

I have a 2001 24 valve and it has no power and smokes white like crazy when its cold. It will do this even after sitting for only 2-3 hours if i let it idle for 25 minutes or more it will be fine still some smoke some not alot more in 1st 2nd and a blueish tint but lots power. Not getting a code for vp44. I have the air intake sensor unplugged all the time because when its plugged in then it has no power almost all the time. Once trucks been running for 25-30 minutes it works fine but it will lose power right at 1450-1500 rpm in 3rd 4th 5th if u hold it there for a while, usually happens if i get stuck behind slow traffic and im at that rpm.If i drop a gear to bring the…

I'll start at the top auto to nv5600 swap still has auto ECM a few months ago I did fuel filter change went to prime filter realized I had no power to lift pump I needed a truck in a hurry as I use this truck for hotshotting so I hot-wired my lift pump straight to fuse block comes on with the key the grid heater has also been intermittent when it does come on it seems to cycle way faster than it usually does Next day I drove about 80 miles to pick up a load truck was sluggish the entire way got there and then truck did not want to start unhook lift pump fired right up so from what I could tell I had a bad vp44 I also had a weeping head gasket by the time Ipulle…

Gents I need some expert opinions! I just had a p0237 code pop up. My truck is running very well and I just averaged 19.7 MPG @70 MPG on the freeway (hand math). Now I have done some preliminary research and I see it’s the map sensor.. I cleared the code and am running the truck. Unfortunately I have an elk hunt that starts Friday and I leave Wednesday morning (not much time for repairs). What causes the code? Boost leak? Faulty connections? If it comes on again I will be in a different state and it’s up in the mountains do I need to be concerned? As I mentioned above my truck doesn’t seem to be missing a beat but I’ve read the map sen…

Been trying to solve my intermittent speedometer for awhile now. It is possessed acts up under all different conditions speedometer will read pretty close to exactly double! Sometimes will do it frequently between drives other times can go a thousand miles without acting up. Shut the truck off and restart it’s all good. Checked wiring I found a repair on vss wiring but appears to be good. Replaced vss and inspected tone ring on diff. Speed on my edge matches speedometer when it acts up. Scanned and got code 74, 67, and 65. Should also add that truck has a 4w abs module but front hubs without sensor. I “fixed” this by tying front sensor wires into rear. Was acting up befo…

Hi I have this most wonderful transmission in my truck. I'm trying to learn more about it and this is the best place for that!!! For starters, the truck has just under 100k miles on it. 1) FLUID TYPE: What fluid is best to use (The tag is saying Texaco STF 1874 Chrysler P/N 04874464) 2) FLUID TYPE: How much Fluid does it hold? 3) FLUID : Is there an additive that is advisable? 4) TRANSMISSION COOLER: Is there some sort of manual transmission cooler add-on for the trans that would assist in extending the life of the unit? I understand there were few of these made and the company that made them is out of business. Therefor …

My Adrenaline box has the V2 2.7 beta software. My tune pages look much different than the standard V2 (more detailed it seems). Can I update to the newest software without a cable and computer? I'd love to run some of these tunes I see but the iPod the beta software is on won't connect to the internet anymore. I wrote a basic tune using Quadzillas website as a guide. It works better than the crazy tune that was in it which you can't look at settings. If you select the arrow to make changes it boots you out of IQuad. Thoughts?

Probably a stupid question did the alternator a/c test on my truck reads around .032 say there and watched it for a minute and it shoots up to .09-.1 for about 5 seconds than returns to .032. Does the same cycle like clock work. I’m assuming it is the alternator full fielding?

Ok so here I go, I have a 99 ram 2500 4x4 auto trans 24v 280k miles. I am having a gremlin and here are the symptoms and the story. It started with my transmission not shifting out of 1st no matter how few or many rpms you threw at it unless you let off the petal and kicked it down that way, so I replaced Gov pressure solenoid, transducer, and for good measure the o/d and lockup solenoids as well also tightened the bands to spec and put new fluid in. Did not fix the issue, then the next day driving to work my speedometer says I'm not working Monday and drops to 0, so i replace both the speed sensor in the transmission tail housing and the one in the rear axle. Fixes the s…

Man seems like there’s been a lotnno f small weird issues going on with my truck lately. I developed a new issue late last night and this evening. I picked up a new truck last night and the truck ran perfect on the 2 HR drive. Got the trailer loaded and went to start the truck and nothing happened. No chime, no lights, no nothing except for the park brake indicator light wa s lit but extremely dim. Basically if acted like the batteries were completely dead. My only thonly but was hook up jumper cables so I had the fella helping me jump me and it started no problem. I drove the 2 hrs home with no issues. Drove to work this morning with no issues or problems. Went to leave …

So Ive been looking at a truck my little brother's friend owns, it's a 2000 with a "built" 47re, and according to him he recently blew the transmission, but the tranny isn't that old and he said, "It will not go forward, it will sometimes but only to 25mph and reverse works." To me this doesnt sound blown but correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not versed in automatic transmissions so I'm in the dark here and anything helps. Thanks!

I installed gauges into my 2001 Auto. I had fuel pressure and pyro before. I added boost. Checked all the gauges for light up prior to fully mounting the pod. They all worked. Installed the pod and hooked up all the gauges. No lights for gauges and no illumination lights in dash. Parking lights also wont turn on with headlight switch. Turn signals, head lights, dome lights, blower motor, and radio all work. I went to start the truck, it fired then died. I have good fuel pressure to VP. I checked for codes and none. I checked fuses and all looked good. Batteries were a little low due to cold weather so they are on charger. I will crack lines at injectors next to see if get…

Thought id get some input quick. Im going this weekend to pick up a 1998 24V truck that dont currently run. I dont have gauges yet and im not sure i should tow that heavy beast home? Its a 2 hr drive one way with a few good hills in between. Also i will be parting the truck out. If anyone has requests let me know.

I originally had to swap these in a week cause was hauling stock trailers for a living,but 6 yrs ago I burned a hole in #6 cyl this time, I tried to do it right. Fabricated trans mounts using exiting trans mount locations in frame

I swapped a 02 Cummins into my F250. Mods are, fummins twin turbo kit, 125 DDP injectors, new springs, and arp studs. Also new VP 44 SO pump. Tunning is by quadzilla, but no custom tunes yet. The motor came out of a manual transmission truck, so I sent the ECM off to be reprogrammed for an automatic because of a massive lope. When I got it back, the lope was cured and it idle ok. When I drive the truck, it will only get to 1850 RPM and no farther. Acts like it has a governor on it. I purchased an automatic apps sensor and did the relearn on it and no help. Any suggestions???
