2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

If you live in a smog test area...did the state change the rules and now you don't have to get smog test anymore?

Hello, I'm certain many have changed out the Draw Straw to 1/2" but I don't seem to be finding discussion on it. Could someone please direct me to a discussion or documentation on doing it? Thanks. Leaky

Yesterday I was coming home from a trip to the hunting property. Truck was running fine and then I hit a railroad track at 60 mph, when all of a sudden the engine got loud (valves seemed to clanked louder than norma) and I lost some throttle power. I never lost total power, just the majority. I could press the pedal 2/3 of the way down but didn't have much power. If I floored it, it downshifted hard and threw the rams up, but I didn't want to run it like that so I didn't do it but once. Other than hitting the rr track pretty hard, the only thing out of the ordinary was I filled up with fuel a few hours prior. I had a quarter tank prior to refueling (water in fuel po…

My batteries have been disconnected for about a year. Anything special I have to do before I can start it? Neighbor up the way asked if I had my beast running yet. Batteries have been disconnected so long of time he thinks I need to adjust or reset something before I can start it or run right? I asked him what the something was and I think he said APS or ATS? Guess I screwed up again...what do I need to do. Thanks

I remember someone here who had one of these and some seemed interested in them. Then I stumbled on the this today if anyone is interested. https://www.hoeslidiesel.com/collections/1998-5-2002-cummins-24-valve/products/cast-aluminum-valve-cover

The issue I'm having has been going on for about 2 months now. Started out as a bad valve body. Pull the truck down in gear it would **** off I replaced the VB with a revmax HD and a triple disc converter with a low stall. Fixed that issue. But then about a week after while cleaning and prepping for paint I lost all power with symptoms of limp mode. Did some looking and codes led to low 5 v supply. Probes the wire and walls no 5v reference from the ecm. My question is is there anywhere else on the harness I can get a 5 volt feed to run to the map and iat to see if it fixed the problem before dropping the money on a new ecm. The truck spins over more now then it used…

I don't belive my wastegate is operating properly and I'm looking at replacing the actuator. Now for the rookie questions. Should I go for the stock replacement rated to 21psi boost or spend the money on an AFE rated to 40 psi? And . How much more boost can the stock motor with 150,000 mi take?

Hi everyone I'm trying to sort out an fueling issue that is making me too scared to drive . I put a nice fresh engine in my "00 and I'm getting a pile of white smoke at idle and 1/4 throttle. It also sounds as if I have air in the injector lines at idle. The vp44 is one off my old engine with a p0216 code so I'm wondering if it's an injector that is damaged or if the vp is having problems fueling 150hp sticks? I'm new to the Moparman site but I'm very impressed by this community thanks for the info and your time!

Another Cummins with a plugged radiator. Funny part was the front was plugged with mud. The fan side was plugged with oil from the breather. The radiator needed a good rinsing the hit with purple degreaser and soak a bit then rinse it off. It looked nearly new afterward. I yanked the old breather bottle off and install a Mopar1973Man Crankcase vent.

Well... On my way home tonight my exhaust system started to fall apart. I lost the section between the muffler and the U section over the axle. Time to give up on the old stock pipe and replace it completely. I need a 4 inch exhaust system that comes with a flow through muffler and straight pipe. I'm wanting something that is designed to combat road salt and rusting for a long time. Time to see what you all suggest for the exhaust system. At this point, my truck is parked and I'll be using the 96 Dodge Ram 1500 for the time being till I get the new exhaust or manage to make a turn down for my existing system. So I need to get to work tomorrow on @IBMobile VP44…

Totally stock right now, except airdog 100. Will the switch in MPG mode work if I have no idea if my 2001 has ever been programmed on for high idle? If I need "re-flashed" can quadzilla do this or only smarty or anything else. Last resort being the dealer? MPG...mine is two wheel drive. I keep reading about people saying they are getting well over 21 mpg. Best MPG I've ever gotten (since 2005), even using cruise control has been 18 1/2 (long hand, not overhead reading) With switch in MPG mode what's a good "guessimate" people have seen in MPG? Thanks

Was sitting at idle in the parking lot before shutting off the engine. I noticed a squeak under the hood, I know my serpentine belt was squealing a week ago after hitting a big puddle and thought that was the case, so I popped the hood and had a listen and it's not coming from the belt. It's loudest on the driver's side around the valve cover. Is there anything under the valve cover that would make a squeaking noise, injectors, valve springs, could it possibly be the vp44? I don't notice anymore smoke than usual, loss of power, and there's no blow by

Hi, Spotted these 2 connectors, 1 grey, and 1 black coming out of harness near left front side of engine. Black has what appears to be 2 contacts, and grey has 3 contacts. Picture is taken from ground, left side looking up. Thanks. Leaky

Finally happy again with my injectors and power. Many years ago, ran DAP +60hp VCO injectors, they were pretty clean usable. Then some DFI 7x.009 +100hp VCOs, clean and powerful. Then DAP 7x.009 SACs, smokey and laggy with the super b, tuner or no tuner. Now I have about 50 miles on some Contageous 7x.008 RV275 stlye +50hp SACs, very clean and powerful with no tuner, slight haze romping on it with tuner off, and only a touch of smoke till boost builds with the tuner on. Super b is definitely more laggy than the holsets, but burns clean with rpms. Smaller injectors with the tuner off is streetable down low, and then turn the quadzilla xzt after you get rolling.…

I had installed a rebuilt blackwater long block about 120K ago. at about 30K i had a leaking head gasket and installed new along with fire wire? not fire rings along with arp studs. I have easy edge and rv injectors and 4inch straight all in a 99 club cab dually 2 wheel drive,6 spd. My problem started after i had a friend drive a load for me, I have a pyro guage and light on guage is inop. so advised him not to run her over 1000 and check guage at night in the hills with a light etc. My guess is he ran it up and possibly caused my now blowby. What temp is safe? Could i have a head gasket failure causing the blowby? I understand weak rings or score does cause blowby but wo…

I have an 02 cummins ext cab short bed 4x4 with an auto. Truck was foggy and lost all power. Had codes P1698 P1689 P0237 which myself and mechanic buddy thought it was a bad vp44. So we replaced it with a new one from thouroughbred. Anyways he put it on and all the codes are still there and nothing has changed. I don't know what to do next!! Also have an airdog raptor and at WOT it still has 8psi

So, back before I deployed I used to have to wait for my WTS light to come on. Usually around 5-7 seconds. Started preparing to buy a new ECM for when I got back --- While I was gone I let my co-worker have the keys to my truck, after 2 weeks of being gone he said he killed my brand new Optima red tops that I put in 2 months prior to leaving . Luckily Advanced replaced both of them free of charge and I told him to just keep them on a trickle charger until I got back. The truck went without any kind of battery connected to it for around 5 and a half months. When I got back I put the new batteries in and fired her up and drove away. I've been driving it for about a month no…

Just wanted to touch base here and Say a Big Thank-You to Everybody! Big Blue ran fine across county last Nov! Pulled a 2 axle U-Haul across the I80 rte with out issues. Arrived in Klickitat County, Wa. after 4 days. Replacing the APS and alternator seemed to do wonders for the truck. The OSC radiator has performed very well,, even with the mercury hitting 112 here early this month! Looks like We will be heading back east in Nov, with Our destination being the Pike County, Pa area. Hope to pull a 2013-14 Dodge Avenger behind us... While I'm here, the lift pump pressure I installed last Summer is leaking out of the end where t…

So forgive me if this has already been discussed but I went back 20 pages and didn't see anything to help. 2001 HO 6-speed. FASS DRP, 75hp DAP injectors, Quad XZT+. New PCM a couple of months ago because I had been running an external voltage reg but hated the flickering lights and engine lope at idle. I replaced the vp44 with one from DAP 2yrs ago after intermittent stalling at highway speeds. Ran fine with 2-3 instances of a 1 sec miss at highway speeds last summer. thought this was possible injectors as it has 215K on originals so replaced them 7 months ago. this July when it hit 95+degrees I stepped on clutch to turn at an intersection and the truck died. …
