2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Is it possible to replace the lower seal on the gearbox where the pitman arm meets it? Its leaking pretty badly on my new-to-me 99 and I am wondering if I need a new gearbox or just a new seal if its possible. Anything helps, thanks!!

Recently bought a 99 Cummins 4wd 5spd, my issue is the truck will get a “dead pedal” while driving. I can cycle the key “fast” or engage an disengage the clutch an regain fueling for 5-10miles and will get the 3 dings an lose the pedal again. From what I see the vp is a reman. I cleaned battery cables and replaced the tps and did a calibration with no fix. The previous owner installed a fass in hopes to fix the issue with no luck also. Truck starts every time no issues. Current codes are: p0216, p0122, p1693, p0222 and also have a code on body: module hardware fault.

Is there any block or port lower than bottom radiator hose? First time I used drain plug in radiator had heck of time getting it back in. So I've been disconnecting lower hose on radiator for years. If there is block drain I'm thinking about screwing in a shut off valve. Good idea or no.

All of a sudden, my clutch pedal stopped snapping back. I also had to go almost all the way to the floor to shift cleanly. I replaced the slave/master cylinder/reservior in a closed, pre-bled unit I bought from Rock Auto. The clutch pedal still behaves mostly the same. What's next?

Has anyone ran a baldwin b50 on a 2nd gen 24v for a oil bypass? Just found a kit locally for super cheap and was wondering if it was worth it. Been doing some research and the info is kind of iffy if the hole size in the filter is too big?

Started the other day and it's been squeaking a bit, I'm assuming the bearings are going out and I'm don't want to pay $100+ for a parts store special. Are the rebuild kits from genos garage good? And how do I tell if I have the denso or Bosch brand alternator? Thanks.

I'll preface my post by committing $200 to anyone whose recommendation solves my issue. This is not my truck in the YouTube video but it accurately depicts what I'm experiencing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xudW4yafWTc Here's some brief maintenance history on my truck: 1. Newly rebuilt tranny 2. Replaced 3 separate TPPS (WELLS, Timbos and Stock) to try solve issue 3. Installed RAPTOR 100GPH lift pump (16PSI at idle, 15PSI highway) 4. Newly installe remanned VP44 pump 5. All battery cables replaced with 2/0 7. Thoroughly cleaned engine block grounds on both sides of the engine 8. ATS signal conditione…

Wondering if I should filter more. Right now fuel line goes from tank to airdog 95 (or 100?) Filters then to vp44. If I need more or better what would you recommend? Thanks

A few months ago I hooked up to a trailer and smoked a few wires and the brakes dont work anymore on it. I been trying to figure out what was wrong with my truck. However using a test like everything is hooked up as it should be. Anyone have any suggestions??

1999 ram jerks when turning like it's in 4x4 but the front drive is not turning so I know it's not in 4x4. Where should I start looking? U joints?

I have a s363/68/12 sxe turbo, 7x.010 injectors, studs, valair dual disc, and v2 tuning. I’m looking for someone with a similar set up who has good dyno numbers and a hot dyno tune to run on the truck along with maybe using it on the street. Thanks in advance.

Real close to 100,000 miles. Wondering if knowing the amount of blow by from slobber tube might be useful as to the health of internal parts at later date. A bench mark number to refer to. Only way I can think of to measure would be to measure amount of blow by raises a water column like a rv propane tester. (Versus an actual psi gauge, that might mess up a gasket, but not sure. ) Any info helpful...thanks.

Just changed my fuel filter, it was black, can't remember the last time I changed it. Fuel pressure was dropping with acceleration and boost wouldn't go much above 25psi, which it shouldn't with the fuel boss. Black granulars in the stock filter housing. Truck sits all winter and doesn't get used a whole lot in the summer, so I'm guessing there's algae. Anyone experience this? What's the best product to run? Bio Kleen? I'm going to change the filter again in a week or so and see what it looks like.

Is Quadzilla a "live data tool" or is the "live data tool" a section within the Quadzilla? ( I know beginners = real pain in rear) (edit part...adding onto post) I need a code reader and unsure what to get and at same I would like a little more power. I've been reading this thread https://mopar1973man.com/topic/11729-quadzilla-adrenaline-v2-testing/?tab=comments#comment-140263 and it seems it would work for me. But terminology and knowledge totally lacking on my part. Thanks

After all these years of service my AirDog as of today blew the fuse and drop the fuel pressure to ZERO. ISSPro Gauge lit the low pressure light just as I drove out of the yard. I shut down the engine the truck bump the starter to see if the pump comes on. Nope. Get back in the yard and check the fuse. 20 amp fuse blew. With it in the shop now I replaced the fuse and just bumped the starter. The pump came on and sounded rather rough. Lasted about 60 second and went quiet with a snap under the hood. Fuse blew again. I've already call Pureflow to see if I can get parts and it might be difficult being the serial number tag fell off long ago. I'm going to see if I can repair …

Go all the way to McCall RV Park in McCall Idaho from my home in Grass Valley, Ca and I still get calls from a friend whos 01 Dodge sounds like it lost a VP44. Problem is he’s in Olympia Washington on a trip with his Travel Trailer also. Seems he installed a Air Dog some years ago but did not install a fuel pressure gauge to monitor it. He called me this afternoon and said it’s bucking and surging and has no power. Has a check engine light on and a p0216 fault code so I looked it up for him since he has no smart phone or laptop with him. Called him on my cell and gave him the bad news. Guess I’m going to be installing a gauge for him after we both get back home.

Finally I have something to post about. I haven't had any issues so I've been lurking. Sadly this could be an expensive one? Let us discuss... Today I'm out driving to an appointment, all is well. Take a right hand turn and hear a loud bang, more-so a metal clunk (almost sounded like a u-joint snapped on the driveshaft). I immediately notice a slightly odd idle at the next stop light. Go about another block after I make the turn and the truck starts bucking/limping, practically no power. I noticed a little bit of white smoke out the exhaust when under load (but not idling). Made it off the road into a parking lot and I'm thinking textbook bad VP44. D…

Let me start by saying the tranny is new along with new valair clutch and hydraulics in a 99 ram 3500 with NV4500. Had local shop install everything and all was good for about 3 weeks. Now for some reason the tranny has issues with 3rd and 4th gears. There are times I shift through all 5 gears with just a little forcing but there are times it'll hang in 3rd are 4th gear. Before the major issues I noticed at times from a stop I would have to cycle to fourth before I could get into 2nd. I am at loss because it work so smoothly for the first couple of weeks. I have spoke to the tranny builders and Valair and of course each of them blames the other's product. The truck…

Good evening everyone, This morning I went to start my truck and it just cranked but never fired. I noticed smoke coming from engine bay and it was coming from ground cable from passenger side battery negative post that connects to body. It was extremely hot and was smoking. Truck started and ran fine yesterday. Really need my truck back up and running, please help! Tim
