2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Has anyone found a replacement for the bolt in the centre of the plug for the engine ECM that is bolted on the tappet cover. I found that someone had broken the one on mine sometime in the past. I Can't find a listing for just the bolt anywhere. I went to the Dodge dealer and they Don't have any listing for the ECM or Plug let alone the bolt.

Ok guys I was towing my boat home from the lake as I was going up a hill in town I encountered a MAJOR problem. I dumped my entire coolant system. I just did a head gasket about 10K miles ago. I run ARP’s and I have an upgraded turbo. I know it’s leaking from the back of the block. Any guesses to what my problem is?

99 Dodge 3500 auto throws code for no com from pump to ecm it’ll run with ecm bypassed all wireing checks put a ecm off of a 2000standard still nothing

Thought I should start a build thread on my truck. Truck is a 99 ECLB DRW factory Sport pkg. I will be replacing and upgrading the entire suspension and steering with parts from DOR LLC. As well as a new ps pump and lines from Geno's, red head steering box, borgstein shaft, and ram rock solid bushing. Installing a 5.9 reman from DFC diesel with upgraded Hamilton valve train, Wagler rods, Colt stage 3 cam, 7x13 sticks, II VP 44, compound turbo's and twin kit from Crazy Carl's, BD billet flywheel, Northern hi flow intercooler, Crazy Carl's intake horn and intake plate. Everything on the engine will be replaced, new oil cooler, altenator, fan hub, fluidda…

I am fixing to replace my tappet cover gasket as it has decided it wants to leak quite a bit. Before it was a 1 maybe 2 drops on the ground total and now the side of my block is black and it leaves a bigger puddle of oil than what i would like too on the ground. Not very much still and oil level is checked to make sure its safe! But, I want to know if I can purchase this 12v tappet cover off ebay and bolt it right up with a new gasket? Or will it not work? I Want the extra vent and c ant jar loose of $300 for a billet one.

Does anyone know if the front brace (held on by 2 bolts on each side) is only for manual seats? I have power seats (driver and passenger side) in the truck. The truck came with a spare set as well which the passenger side is manual and it is the only seat with the front brace. It’s located right behind where the bar is to release the latch on the manual seat. Maybe to create stiffness for the manual pins to release?

@notlimah just a quick side question so not to get off topic. How do you like the Dynamic Stage 3? I am currently saving for a trans. Firepunk is close to me, but I am considering Dynamic.

Hello everyone im new to the forum here. Anyways i recently just bought my first 2001 dodge ram cummins. Im absolutely in love with the truck. Just wanted to see want upgrades i should do such as maintenance wise. I want to keep the truck as reliable as possible. And stock such as "internal wise"

Does anyone know what the torque and hp rating is on a stock clutch?

Okay I've got something going on with my truck and I'm in need of ideas. My truck sounds different (more tinney rattle) in the top end, less power, less boost higher EGT's. I pulled the valve cover off and re-torqued everything. I was worried something vibrated loose. Everything was tight. I did start the truck while the valve cover was off, and I could hear what was I think was the injectors. Not sure what they are suppose to sound like? I haven't changed a thing with any settings in the Quad tuning. I'm running the edge tune, (I can post them if anyone wants to look them over). Only thing that I found was the set screw on the boost elbow backed out and was gone.…

Worth it to go southbend with fairly stock truck (nv5600)

Is there a checklist if you will of things specific to the 24v that you guys would start checking off when taking on a new to you truck? I am thinking start with the most basic of basics. thank you in advance!

I had the check gauges lamp come on and noticed low volts the other morning, it climbed back up after a few seconds and the check gauges lamp went off but the voltage was only at about 11-12v range on the gauge (usually 13-14). I took the alternator to autozone, bench tested showed bad, got a replacement and bench tested before leaving, that one tested good. Also tested batteries, both good. I installed everything and still nothing for charge voltage though. After reading some other sites about the PCM voltage regulator going bad, I got an external voltage regulator and was about to connect it up today, but I read a post here a couple of days ago and it got me th…

Well I've made it home for the summer and it's time to start tearing this thing apart. I will begin tomorrow, but yesterday I took it to the dyno. Laid down 503 / 1215. I was very pleased with the numbers, but the knocking is getting worse to it's time to take it apart.

So I’m running through the pros and cons of tapping my VP. My main thinking is it’d be fun to have until I can throw bigger injectors in the truck and use the quad to tune accordingly. My main concerns are I’m not entirely sure of the mileage on the VP. I think it’s at around 70ish and even though the PO kept good care of the truck, he didn’t have records of it and I had to call the dealership to confirm and they were a little unsure of the date as it’d been a while and they’re system had crashed at some point making certain things not show. Either way, PO didn’t use two stroke, ran a hyper tech tuner and had an intake lift pump so I’m sure it ra…

My truck has the original IP I have purchased a new or rebuilt 44 from Industrial injection it has new electrical. My question is what improvements have they made to these?

Are both these things snubbers? The "sinster" one holds back pressure more, giving it a blow test. But if any breaks off would not want particles going thru system or are they better?

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. …

Evening Ya'll, 1st things 1st, THANK YOU MIKE! THIS SITE ROCKS! I've been using this as my service help for the last few weeks. I picked up a 2002 Ram 2500 SLT, Automatic, 4x4, short bed. Got what I thought was a good deal. I drove it 150 miles home, it was a DOG. I pulled 2 codes, P0112 (IAT v low) and P0237 (MAP v low). Using Mike's trouble shooting guides for the above DTC codes, after much wire tracing, ground cleaning, and testing both sensors are good along with the corresponding wiring..The ECM was bad. OK...FAST FORWARD to the 14th of March. My new (rebuilt) ECM came in, programmed ready to go. Installed the…

My truck is a 01 quad 6 speed ho, dual disk clutch, airdog 150, 4 inch, cold intake, stock injectors for now thank you!
