2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Anyone else out there float gears? If so have you had any negative effects?

My truck has done it twice now. The other night I started it to go to town and it took three times cranking to start and they were long cranks like 15-20 seconds. notice that my WTS light was not on so I thought it was just the cold air cause it was 20 degrees outside. It started fine all other times that night. Started it to go to town again today and it did the same but WTS was on and it was 51 degrees today. I believe that the fuel system is losing prime. Was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I will go out in a couple hours and see if it takes overnight or if it will do in a few hours. Truck has been sitting for almost three hours now.

My volt gauge goes up to the normal spot, just a hair over 14 but my scangauge II reads 13.5-13.6 volts. Is this normal?

First off im new to this site but ive found lots of useful info on here which has lead me to creating an acount. ok to begin i just rebuilt my vac pump, but im still getting a leak from that general area. i think its coming from the crankcase vent tube, i also noticed when i had the intercooler pipe off there was oil in there which makes me think my turbo is leaking? but would that make it come out of the vent tube? It only leaks out after driving a while. i checked for blow by today and didnt find any. i also saw that it smokes white out the vent tube. to add some more to it I re-oiled my K&N filter 3k miles ago and i think i might have used alittle much on it could …

I got a smoking deal on a used smarty for my 98. The guy was selling it for his buddy and wasnt sure if it was vin locked or not but didnt think it was. Last time he tried to download it the truck wouldnt take it so he put it back in the case and left it alone. His buddy says he can try to get a few bucks for it and I bit. He sient me pics and from them it did not look vin locked. I got it today and it would not finish downloaded, it would start at 0% and then time out communication or something. After this it my truck would not start so I was worried I just fried my ecm. I ended up unhooking my battery cables and then running the download, it worked but then it was just …

i swaped out my clutch in the shop most of the fluid leaked out. it looks like it all came out of the shifter mounting flang. why would some much come out of the top or should i look for another leak.

hey everyone im new to this wonderful forum,anyways ive got a 2002 dodge 2500 single cab diesel and everything on my truck is stock so where is a good starting point as what i should upgrade first. I want to add some power but nothing outrages just mosty for towing.

I was having problems about a month ago. Truck cranked but wouldn't start. Check engine light on, codes present were 1688, 1689, 252, 254. Injection pump was replaced. Same problem, same codes. Took to local Chrysler dealer they cleared codes and said nothing was wrong. Drove to get fuel, truck was idling and just died and cranked but wouldn't start. When it finally started it wouldn't go above 1500 rpm's drove home on shoulder 8 mph. Sometimes when key is in the on position waiting for start light speedo needle with jump up and down and CEL will flash on and off. Help please!

Going to do brakes and power steering fluid... Haven't done before, couple questions:1) what size tubing for caliper coupling?2) when doing rear passenger wheel, just keep pumping until it turns clear then move to next wheel...?3) what happens if air gets in line - how will you know? Will brakes get spongy and I'll have to rebleed... One wheel or all wheels? 4) power steering - just use a turkey baster? Thanks!

Got a goulds kit and going to tackle the pump seal issue. Got the video and i know how to do it. The problem is none of the videos or anything tell me the best way to actually remove the pump and PS unit from the truck. I know to do it as one unit, but you guys that have done it, which way did you go? Out the bottom or top?

Hey gang can we help this new family member out with not only his truck but how to use the forum too. First thing I typically ask for is error codes (using a OBDII reader) and fuel pressure (idle to WOT at highway speeds).

Moparman says I need a big line kit with my raptor 100 on my 2001 stock Dodge. How big? Big lines all the way to the injection pump? I know about the high flow banjo bolts but are there big line banjo fittings? I am thinking about the XDP sump instead of a larger draw straw. Any thoughts on that? Can I still use the stock fuel filter?

Hey guys,I took my 02 cummins in to the dealer today to get the high idle activated! and the diesel mechanic told me that he is unable to activate the high idle on my truck because it is 6 speed standard! he says that its not in the programming! true or not? any body know?Thanks Reg02

Well, joined the forum back in Nov... had been working on plotting out our tune up/ preventative & maintenance plans and before we got anywhere within driving the truck an additional 500 miles at most we have MAJOR ISSUES... needless to say we have have the truck parked in the driveway since we put new tires on it at the end of November, we have had to start it a few times to move it for snow removal and driveway access issues... So here goes the saga of problems... this fall we noticed that we were having issues with the truck shifting around 45 mph... after much reading on this forum, I do believe that it probably is the same torque lock/ converter issue that m…

I'm replacing my head gasket and took the head to the machine shop. They just called and said its cracked . Is this common? Where is a good place to get one? Any input would be great.

Well, this morning after changing my fuel filters i was in the process of jumping power from the battery to the plug for my raptor to bleed the air out of the system when i had a brain fart and grabbed the plug for my deleted fuel heater instead. There was a spark and immediately put the CEL on. So i grabbed my smarty and checked the codes...p0222 idle validation...p0113 IAT sensor voltage high p0118 ECT sensor voltage highp0238 MAP sensor highp01693 companion code I figured i just blew those sensors so i went and picked up a new ect,map,and iat sensor and installed them, cleared the codes with my smarty and lo and behold those codes pop back up again. So in desperatio…

I am new to the Diesel world i have a 99 2500 4x4. The problem that i am having is when i start it up and barely press on the throtle or press the throttle to the floor it will only go to 1500 RPM. I can take off the negative battery cables for about 30 min and reset everthing and it may a run couple of months and then it will happen again. Can any one give me some insight on what to do to fix this problem?
