2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

Anybody know what this does specifically? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320569115318&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MESELX:IT

I have a thread on another forum, and m1973m's posts there, led me 'here'.Basically, it boils down to this:On Key-on, I bump the starter. With a fuel pressure gauge on the system, the lift pump (prev. owner replaced the lift pump (with what appears to be an Airtex E7153 or replica), as well as added a [crap] Mr. Gasket #12D inline pump (rated at 5-7psi, 35gph) back by the tank. The LP kicks on, and the pressure slowly climbs from zero - ~19psi. Once the LP kicks off, the pressure immediately falls to ~5-6psi. If I sit anw watch it for a few seconds, it'll bleed off to zero PSI.If I repeat, and as soon as it hits 19psi on prime, if I start it, it will fall to zero in a…

I bought a Frantz bypass filter a good while back but have not installed it in part due to really crappy weather and in large part due to my frustration with finding what I feel is an adequate and maintenance friendly location to mount the filter and run the oil lines. I have read the write-up and looked at the pics of Mike's install. I may end up doing it this way in the end but I wanted to get as many pictures of how the filter mounting installation is done before I make my decision. I want to keep it simple and drill as few holes and cut as little as possible and hopefully not at all. I would appreciate it if you guys who have the Frantz filter installed show me…

Well here it is, after the fourth ECM on my truck we tried a test ecm from cummins, and the surge that has been there for two years is gone. HEY But the miss is still there. Ok we put truck on a delete box and what that does is it bypasses the elec. in vp and bypasses the ecm, truck ran like a dream, could not belive it if I had not heard it with my own ears. So we still think there is something going on with ecm. We know for a fact it fixed the surge. Put old ecm back on and instant surge is back. Ok one thing I have learned is there are about 12 different ecms out there for a 01 so when someone tells you there all the same - there not, I found out the hard way.

I'm looking for opinions!What type of information is available on oil filters for the 24v engine.In this day and age is there any real differnces?

Ok so most of us would agree that two cycle oil in the fuel for the vp44 is a good thing when mixed properly ....my question is can we mix other products in as well for other benefits like the powerservice products or Lucas oil or xdp?

I was crossing the Hudson River and noticed I was down to an 8th of a tank, I soon would be headed off the beaten track and had 2 choices to get fuel after I crossed the bridge. I have Citgo run by some Moolah Jihadists, or BP run by some 2nd and 3rd generation Arab Americans, so I picked BP. I fuelled up, then I went into pay, I asked how is business as BP now a days, he said we are going back to Mobil in 2 weeks if that answers your question. He said it is not our fault. I replied it was just a bad accident, nothing no one can do about it now, take care.

I had a gent today tell me a secret about the 2001 problem with the key trick we all know that some of the 2001 will read ECM codes and other will not read but display a P1693 code. Well I need some help finding the answer to this secret. Now you guys/gals with 2001 trucks take notice to the criuse light color and also tell me if the P-PCU and P-ECU is display during you key trick...

I was doing some digging for ISX for Drag formulas and such and ran across this page and had to share with you... http://ecomodder.com/forum/tool-aero-rolling-resistance.php#2 Here is what I figured out for my Empty run and my 235/85 R16 tires (Crr .009) http://ecomodder.com/forum/tool-aero-rolling-resistance.php?Weight=7900&WeightUnits=lbs&CRR=.009&Cd=.45&FrontalArea=37&FrontalAreaUnits=ft^2&FuelWh=37953&IceEfficiency=.22&DrivetrainEfficiency=.95&ParasiticOverhead=0ρ=1.164&FromToStep=40-65-1 Then here is my offroad 265/75 R16 tires (Crr of .015) http://ecomodder.com/forum/tool-aero-rolling-resistance.php?Weight=7900&WeightU…

What is the estimated service life of a replacement VP44? I've had to replace a replacement after 2 years. I like the truck but I can't support that.Ops

I just recetnly installed a new lift pump in my truck. I put in a FASS DDRP. My fuel pressure at idle with the stock fuel pump was about 13psi. After putting in the fass it jumped up to about 20psi at idle. My question is do I need to be concerned about the fuel pressure being this high? Will it damage the injection pump? Do I need to turn it down or just leave it where it is? I was just worried because I've heard some people say that high fuel pressure can damage the VP44.Thanks for any help or suggestions.Mike

Found this kind of filter on ebay for 6 bucks apiece, just wondering if it might fit our motors??? Says it will fit the ISB, thats what these are just dont know if they are exactly the same..

a while back my truck went bezerck. surging, little or no throtle response, cruise control coutting on and off, temp gauge swinging wildly from 0 to max and the engine was surging while indeling and me standing beside the truck. i was already having some dead pedal issues and had puechased a new vp44 from blue chip diesel. thinking that might be causing the problem i installed the injector pump with no change. I had multiple high and low voltage codes on the iat, tps, temp and map sensors. also had codes on the cruise control, tach, system voltage. did some test on the tps and replaced no change, replaced the temp sensor no change, clock spring nochange, speedo(on board d…

I own a 2002 ram 2500 6 speed with the HO cummins, 145k, recently i was pulling my equipment trailer and upon taking off from a stop sign had what felt to be a dead pedal/poor throttle response, taking 2x-3x as long to get up to around 2000rpm than it normally would. Slight bucking would occur but more of the issue is the slow throttle response. No matter where the pedal position is, there is no change in throttle response, its just a matter of slowly building rpms. Even though the throttle response is slow, the truck will get up to 3500rpm. I did have a garage do a diagnostic on it and they claimed fuel pressure from the lift pump was sufficient. There is no excess ex…

Kinda curious what these little numbers signify. I guess as long as it doesn't have a 53 I am ok, but I am just wondering what everybody else's engine blocks have cast into them number wise, might be kinda interesting to see. driver's side pass side

Been throwing the low voltage (1488) code, the batteries are new and the cables are clean and tight.Anyone have an idea where i need to look/go next to find the problem???The truck seems to run ok, Just like to find the problem so I can fix-it.Thanks Ed.

Ok... I have been having a major issue with not being able to build more than 10 psi boost. I have been trying to fix it to no avail. So, today was about 85*+ here. Drop down the high way and looked over... 1,200* EGT's!!! I was shocked! All week I had been running 600 - 900* even with these low boost numbers (10 psi max). Boost issues STILL There and now the heat issue too! I turned off my Edge, didn't make a dent. When I sped up a little it would hold or drop 50*. It wouldn't get over 1,200*, unless i was going up hill to the floor (and I pretty much have to do that in 5th to get up a hill with no boost ) PLEASE!!! Any suggestions would be great. …

New to the forum, looks great with alot of good info, hope to get some help,installed a BD noise filter yesterday, Fixed the TC lock/unlock problem but now the transmission hangs in 1st untill I lift the throttle, checked grounds and for codes (none) unhooked filter and still wont shift, any Ideas ? thanks in advance. Pat PS. just donated to site, worthwhile investment for the information available

Well gang... I figured I'd share a experience with you all... I've got a home made high idle kit on my Cummins that electronically fools the ECM to thinking it cold and tripping the high idle software... But what was occurring is that as I drove down the highway I would listen to a random cyclic timing changing heavy advancement (heavy ping) to retarding (quiet). But I had no CEL (check engine light), codes displayed on the ScanGauge II, or unusual IAT temps. Till finally I tripped a code P0113 which I knew was a IAT sensor code and the display showed the -40*F for temp. But I reset the code and watch the display as a I traveled started seeing slightly off numbers you rea…

correct me if im wrong but it is common and i should hear the squeak of the fan belt /pulley as my truck is shut off right ?.....can anyone tell me why i would no longer hear this ..aside from the obvious belt broke/missing .....everything else seems to b ok ( i hope:pray::pray:)
