2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Here is a shocker... 8| I found a pour point depressant for diesel fuel produced by BG Products Inc. http://www.setonresourcecenter.com/msds ... d007de.htm So I guess the anti-gel in diesel fuel is nothing more than good ol' Fashion kerosene... :rolleyes Pour point depressants (PPD) defined... http://www.chevron.com/products/oronite ... point.html

Ok, so I keep hearing about #1 and #2 diesel. Also certain stations are containing 5-20% bio diesel fuel. If I am out running around at any particular day of the year what do I need to look for in fuel when it comes to any of this? I know there is a summer and winter blend but do not know the difference. What do I need to watch out for at the pumps? Sorry for the noob question, I just want to be on the right path and this way I can pick my fuel stations to fill up at when I need to or at least know what I am looking at when I fill up anywhere.

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...

Where does the diesel noise come from? I was thinking lifters, but when coasting there is no noise. I started adding 2 cycle oil and no reduction noted. Could it be the injectors? Pretty noisy clicking when going uphill at low speeds especially in the morning before operating temps reached. 161,800 and don't know if the valves have ever been adjusted? Only owned it for 20k miles.

My 2001 is pinging like an old gas motor that has cheap fuel. Is this a bad injector or something else?

Can anyone give me info on a good 2nd gen shop in Vancouver.

So I came across a web link with some great information. I’ll leave a link below. This website tells you all about maintenance intervals and fluid amounts etc. I plan to change my diff gear fluid soon and I plan to use Scaeffers 75w140 gear oil. Iv heard talk about adding a friction modifier? I’m curious if anyone knows about this stuff and how much is needed per axle? http://www.cumminshub.com/5.9-24v-cummins-maintenance-schedule.html

Who is running 85-140 in their rear axle? I have Valveline Dura blend 85-140 in my 99 dodge and ran regular Valveline 85-140 in my 31 year old Chevy K20 for last 20 yearsI called Valveline tech to see what % of friction modifyer they put in their gear oil marked "limited slip" because im going to change my oil. The tech guy had a interesting comment about gear oil weights. Ha !

I am attempting to track down a driveline vibration. Seems to be happening when accelerating from a stop while turning left. Unknown history of diff and drive line maintenance. I Changed the diff oil in July. Not many miles use since June. Will take a diff oil sample soon for analysis. This weekend I drove at hiway speeds for about an hour. No issues. Got home and immediately used a laser thermometer to check u-joint and diff housing temps. Ujoints all seemed fine and no hot bearings. Rear Diff housing pumpkin measured about 100F. Housing near pinion recorded about 120F. Is there something maybe going on with a pinion bearing? Any idea on normal housing temps a…

So I'm planning on buying a fifthwheel roughly 10,000 lbs I have 35" tires on my truck I would like to keep those for pulling probably best is the switch to 4.10?What's best do the complete axle or just do the gears?I'm running a Fass ddrp with fuel lines 3/8" from tank,installed a bhaf breather,4" exhaust and a smarty s03,turbo is the hy 35,my tranny is the 47re rebuilt triple disc.

I a got a weard probleme and i discoverd that my truck on paper is a 2001 and on the door the fabrication was 03/13/00 is that normale? so when the truck was fully original those it have the 2001 block that only run a cam sensor? My trouble i got a p0341 and i cheque all what you say to cheque on the your obd11 test twice and i see nothing. So before changing the ecm or the vp44 because every body says its should be that But it a very expensive test!!! I got a few question before i discovert that the block have been swap the cummins block is a 98.5 with a ecm 00 And the wiring that plugue the block is like 01-02 because i have no unplogue wire and the crank sensor …

Alright so I have a question is there a physical difference between full body injectors and just nozzles? I have never seen either out of the engine other than pictures. Any pics would be great and how would a person go about finding out which brand and hp they are if they are already installed. any help is appreciated!

So I have to order new hydraulics (or the slave at least because the hose popped out of mine), and I was curious what the difference between stock and valair is besides the threaded clutch rod? I have a south bend dual disc clutch btw.

So I thought I had exploded my rear but when I popped the cover off I had only just busted the cross pin for the spider gears is their any difference in the spider gears and cross pin between the 70s and 80s? Because I cant find a 70 for decent price

Ok all, as I may be in the market for another VP, what are the differences in the VP pumps? I have a 6 speed manual truck. Will any other pumps fit on this engine? I keep hearing that the automatic transmission pumps are different, then there is a SO and HO pump/engine. Truthfully am almost out of $$ to spend on this truck and hoping to find a used pump off of a wrecked truck, and need to know what would work and not. Thx, FT

I have a 2001 3500 4x4 what would the proper fluids and sealing materials for the transfer case and differentials?

Hey guys, currently my truck has 3:55 gears and they are terrible for towing with 35’s so I’m wanting to swap to 4:10’s. I can’t find a set that will fit my truck but I found a set out of a 94, my question is will the gears from the 94 axles fit in my 2000 axles? Thanks

3500 02 cummins drw hey guys i just took off my drain plug for my rear diff after driving about 3 weeks after changing the oil right after i purchased it, when i took the plug out a bunch of pressure released and went pooof. when i inspected the cap it had a coating of what looked like a gray silicone but it was obviously metal. ive never seen anything like it, no chunks or long bits just what looked like drywall mud. would this be normal? i just got the truck and when i first serviced the rear there was little no no metal. i put75-140 in the rear. i dont know if this would make a difference but i ended up having to repair the front end diff as it was pus…

Hey guys. Have a question about my truck wondering if you can shed some light. I bought this truck a couple years ago and have been slowly restoring it. I hear a loud knock/clank I believe to be coming from cyl 5 or 6. I say this because I originally thought the TC bolts were loose. I checked them. Removed, locktite, retourqued. I cracked fuel injector lines one by one to try to isolate noise, etc. Each line I cracked, I heard a noicable miss but the noise never stopped. Today I took my valve cover off to look for anything obvious. I found a few things! I see all my rockers getting evenly oiled, no visibly bent pushrods, no dropped valves/carbon buildup anywhere. …

Anyone know the diamater of the DiProcol gauges? I looked on several different suppliers websites, and even on the manufacture's site and can not find any reference as to the size. I have ordered the gauges, and need to order a steering column pod for the fuel pressure gauge but some pods say they are 2 and a 1/16" and some say 2". Thank's for any feedback............Hood Latch:confused:
