2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

I was traveling, and had to do an Oil change. I traditionally use the Mopar Oil, In this Case, Rotella wa available. SInce the change, after coming in of a highway run with vents on, I get a oil smell in the cab. Think its related? Cant find any leaks etc.

at 30 mph something weird happens my tranny slips into what i would call not all the way in gear but when i step on it it operates like it should i went to the shop that put my new tranny in and they did the pressure checks and every thing is great.he said that the throttle sensor associated with the shifting speeds might need to be reformatted(not exactly what he said but close).anybody had this done?

EDIT, I thought I had a AD-100 when in fact I have a Raptor pump unit. Believe its pretty much the same except without the filters. Have changed the thread title to reflect this. ~~~~Installed an Air Dog 100 on my truck last weekend and while its running, its not running right. Am not at all experienced with diesels (am a airplane mechanic) so wanted to post here to see if there is something that I have missed.The pump "seems" to be working fine. I say seems as three times now its "hiccup'ed" on me. Driving normally (not WOT) at about 40 mph or so the fuel pressure dropped from normal levels to 7-8 psi, activating the alarm on my Edge Attitude display. No difference in th…

I Got my BHAF Filter from carquest today & when i tried to install it i cannot make the hose fit the back of filter. Is there a pipe that must connect the two?????? :confused:

i have a D80 with 3.55 gearsi lucked into some humvee rims with beadlocks. they are 16.5x10.5 2 piece steelies. the smallest tire i can find is 33x12x16.5.i was thinking about going with a lower gear in the rear to help turn those beasts when i'm muddin(use the factories for highway). when they say "case split", what do they mean? are there 2 castings? they list some as "thin", is that what i need?thanks

I keep reading in the news about how the new owners of "Chrysler & etc" are planning to separate Dodge autos from Dodge trucks... in my mind they are preping to sell off the truck division. Meanwhile assembly lines are shut down, engine lines are shut down... My daily driver is a Cirrus. I wonder if the French get it that American drivers do not want & I doubt will buy some warmed over Renault. I fear these missteps will put Chrysler... bailed out with tax payer money... into the crapper for good! Russ

man, this thing is AWESOME, so many different parameters can be shown, i found out from it that my TPS needed to be reset, so, i did that....also, for w/e reason, at idle, the MAP thing shows like 30, i don't know if that's good or bad...:confused anyway, here are some pics of where i mounted it and a couple vids of it in action... LOVE that fuel mileage... :hyper :D vids..... gotta wait about a week till i get to around 1/4 of a tank so i can calibrate it all the way right....

This has probably been gone over before, but would I be able to center my steering wheel, its driving me nuts, they want to do a front (40.00) end alignment to correct the steering wheel problem...thanks for any ideas.

Ok, I thought I fixed my idle problem with a apps. It ran just fine for about 4 days no rump rump or anything, well its back. List of things done - second new apps,vp44,cam sensor,fuel pressure airdog 13.50lbs,tried ecm off another truck,tired turbo off anothre truck. One thing I have noticed is it only does it when eng. has been driven at hwy speed for a little while,does not rump rump at all when just idel around town. :thud

I have a 98.5 24 valve cummins, somtimes when I start up I can barely touch the accelerator pedal and its acts like I held the thing wide open. Then I can shut it off and start back up and its back to normal. It doesnt happen at a particular time it is as random as anything. It is really driving me crazy.

Just got my truck back two days ago from tranny rebuild. I went to pull out with trailer today and make around 25 miles to fuel station. Tranny temp @ 195*, gears are not catching when putting into D,3,2,1 or R. I shut the truck off and turn it back on and it would make it maybe twenty ft before doing it again. I searched for codes and received the P0500 can this have anything to do with the tranny issue? I know what the code stands for. Thanks for any help

Ok so the other day i took my 01 2500 apart to install new ball joints. I took the brake lines off the calipers to give myself more room to work and when i went to reinstall everything went smoothly. I bled the lines i have full pressure coming from all 4 calipers. I cannot get any foot pressure. I tryed a "new/used" Hydroboost and it was not the problem. I am out of ideas and cannot get the pedal to hold pressure. I start it and try to move it doesnt grab till the very bottom and not to much. ` :confused: I think there could be air trapped in the abs sensor? I have no idea any help would be great. Thanks in Advance!!!!!!!

Can you mix 2 stroke oil and anti-jelling additive, for the winter...thanks

Wow! That was easier than nailing jello to a tree! I just completed do my first VP44 install. To tell you the truth its easy as hell to do and takes just about 3-4 hours to do it taking your time. I will be updating my orignal VP44 install write up in the near future. There is a few notes and shortcut I found to make the install much easier. Sad part is I didn't grab my camera... (Should of!)

Changed out vp44 a while back and cant belive the fuel mileage increse.Went from 15 mpg to 18mpg,truck is heavy 9900LBS

The 2kreeks hauler has been missing at hiway speeds 'cruise 50/65 mph' every other speed is ok. If truck is acelerating no problem, pulling hard 10k up everything nornmal. The lift pump was replaced approx 3500 miles with a generic AIRTEX BRAND. This was replaced during a oil change when I found out the new carter was starting to fail. Now with new instruments the fuel pressure at idle is 21.5lbs and wot is 16lbs. My basic idle time is approx 5mins and some time more depending on how long of pull and how heavy..Does this high of fuel pressure hurt the vp44?Could this high of fuel pressure cause the missing?Only codes showing with key trip, is 1693 which was left…

Old Fart Non-MotorHead here again. Am looking at a Stewart Warner 0-30 PSI 2" Fuel Pressure Guage for $55.00 Am not a performance nut just want to monitor my F/P while towing 8K. Will this fill the bill? Mohok

Hey,I did the key trick yesterday and the P 1693 codes comes up, but nothing else???? It goes ------;P 1693;------;milage. That's it. I've done this several times and that is all I get... I've even taken it to AutoZone and ran the code scanner and no codes!!!! Any ideas????? :confused: Thanks,Winslow
