2nd Generation Dodge 24 Valve Powertrain

This is a discussion forum of the 1998.5 to 2002 2nd Generation Dodge Ram Trucks with 5.9L Cummins 24 Valve Turbo Diesel power train and drive line system. This includes all sub-system including wiring, fuel, oil, exhaust, air, transmission, computers and sensors.

  1. Does anyone have a 4x4 locking /free hub/spindle kit on their truck? A guy's dodge truck in the shop has the yukon free spin kit installed. He said he gets better fuel mileage and he can feel the difference driving around I always thought about installing one of these kits. Cant remember what brand I was looking at

    My needle is jumping like crazy at highway speed it's at 0 then 120 then back to 0 I've replaced speed sensor and the wiring cleaned connection up put dielectric grease on and on the pcm as well guage cluster is fine no codes on it

  3. Anybody see or hear about elec damage from water, (washing or rain, etc) getting in from the cowling? There is a piece of rubber on each side by hood springs, mine have came loose. Going to glue them back on but wonder if beefing up some might be worth the time. Just wondering if might be problem.

    Going to try and keep this from becoming a long novel...I basically have 2 separate issues in 1 thread (might be related). Long story short, I have been having these intermittent surging issues since late May of this year (happened 4 times I believe). Fast forward to now I am dealing with three things: P1693 P1698 High Parasitic Draw For the longest time I was getting a solo P1693 with my scanner which as I understand cannot exist by itself. I also was having issues erasing/reading codes (sometimes). For whatever reason, I unplugged my only added electronics (gauges) and I finally got the 1698 to show up on …

    I was towing the 5th wheel yesterday to get it set up for the wife and kids to camp in, and while I was going up a hill I lost turbo boost and my EGTs went up. Pulled over and discovered that the first intercooler boot had blown off of the intermediate pipe. My guess was that the clamp wasn't tight enough or had backed off, so I put it back on, went back at it and half hour later it came off again! Hasn't come on since, but it did seem like it was a little stretched out. I'm thinking I should replace the boots. All I've found is Vulcan or factory boots. Which should I go with? I have a BD Modified HX35, which I believe is essentially an HX35/45 Hybrid. …

    I have an 01 24valve after having the truck sit up for a little more then a year for major upgrades and front end repairs. I filled the tank for the first time and changed both fuel filters on my fast flow setup. At idle the truck runs perfect once a load is put on the engine it starts to show signs of a miss fire. Could the be because of a clogged fule filter? If so, i used the correct size socket on factory filter housing to check and replace if need fuel filter but the socket continues to round off. Is there a trick to remove the filter housing top without permanent damage? Also no codes shown on snap-on scan tool.

    I have power loss sometimes. Sometimes going down the road empty I am at 50% throttle to do 70 mph and turning 1700 rpms this is when I have power loss. ALSO EGTS GO UP TO 1200 AND BOOST GOES UP TO 28 When running good I am at 23% throttle to do 70 mph 1700 rpms. boost 9 ish and egts 650 ish Things I have changed. All electronic sensors. Vp pump has about 20000 miles on it. Updated the programmer and re flashed the eco in the truck. This problem comes and goes. I can be driving down the road and all of a sudden it loses power. Then maybe the next time I drive the truck it will have power again but not always. Really not…

    I have 2 issues with my truck. Some times my idle lopes from 800 to 900 rpm. This issue seems like not a big deal but maybe points to the other issue of a miss at idle and at speed.The lope issue seems to be only while the truck is getting up to temperature and it is inconsistent. The second issue is the truck develops a miss as it warms. I have isolated it to cyc 3 and 4 by using a snap on code reader /scanner. My son thinks I have a couple of leaking injectors or possibly crossover tubes. Truck gets good mileage 14 in town and over 20 on the road at 70.Truck information ; 180 k miles 3/4 ton 4x4 5 speed. Fairly new injection pump 20 pounds pressure at idle.Some black sm…

    So, I've been doing bolt-ons to the motor (62mm turbo, 125 hp injectors, S&B intake, BD intake elbow, 5-inch straight pipe exhaust, and V2 tuning). I have yet to touch the transmission besides regular maintenance. Every time I step on it, I get a little nervous that I'm going to break something. The 47RE definitely doesn't like the new upgrades.... it slips quite a bit when WOT. The guy I bought it off of said it was rebuilt 30k miles ago. I dropped the pan last week and the fluid is super clean and the filter doesn't have any crazy amount of metal shavings. Before I go through this newer rebuild I want to beef it up. From research, I was thinking a triple disc torque…

    Good Day all , I did search a lot before asking but I could not find. My truck is stock and I has boost / fuel pressure and exhaust temp gauge. So for the last 2 year my truck was always cutting fuel/power without me letting the gas pedal off. it was not noticeable physically but I could see it on the boost gauge , it was maintaining 4 PSI and then dropping to 2 and back up to 4 on a flat road. As soon as I was turning the cruise control on it was going away. problem solve. I'm always on CC. Now since the last 6 month, my truck don't get dead pedal effect when CC off, but as soon as I turn the cruise control on, my truck start accelerate way pass the s…

  12. I have worked on vehicles off and on since the late 60s, gas and diesel , air cooled and water cooled and haven't had this happen before. I did a coolant flush as it was due and changed the thermostat because it was running about 5 degrees hotter the last year. The first new thermostat that I installed was listed as 190 degree and it did not open until 207 and not close until 183. I filled the radiator through the thermostat hole as i normally do and topped off in the cap , let it run through open 2 cycles. All good . Took it out for a drive of 20 miles with short but steep hills and flats. The first thermostat was very consistently opening at 207 to 208 and closing 182 …

    2000 cummins ats stage 2 trans won't shift out of first. Edge cts reads it being in second but doesn't shift out of first. p0112 (intake air temp sensor 1 circuit voltage low) and p1693 (fault in companion module) codes are present. What causes this shifting issue and how can I fix it?

  15. So I have a ram 2500 diesel cummins 24v. Over the past couple years I have been having issues with a ghost fault that I just cannot seem to fix. I have codes 1693, 0500 and 0122... What I get is cut out and surging normally between 30 and 45mph... I took it in and the shop said map sensor so it was replaced... the Apps sensor was replaced, the injection pump was replaced and the lift pump was replaced. Fuel pressure is good and fuel filter was just changed today. The shop also said I had a jacked up MPG tuner of which I did not put on (PO)... the chip is fully disconnected as well so it is currently running stock... What I get is at 30-45mph under moderate load the turbo …

    Driving the other day and the transmission would not shift out of 2ed, came to a stop then accelerated and no 1-2 shift. I stopped again and on acceleration 1-2 shift, very delayed 2-3 shift up and normal 3-4 shift. After next stop no 1-2 up shift and it stayed that way. Checked for codes and there were none. Checked shift cable and it had free movement, transmission fluid full but a little dirty (about 25-30k miles on it, pulling 5th wheel most of the time). I pulled the transmission relay and drove around the block in limp home mode and it drove fine. Three codes were set from pulling the relay out but that was to be expected but still no codes for g…

    Hello- Newbie poster here, be gentle with me. Bought a 2002 6 speed for towing a month ago, 114K original, one owner, super clean, 100% stock. Had sat for 4+ yrs after gentleman died; I bought it from his widow, Carter block mounted LP died on way home from SLC. Local diesel shop installed newer version of Carter, but I am leery of it. So, am installing 95 gph FASS myself, with G&R dual sump. I have followed the threads here and Cummins forum, and would be OK with keeping stock fuel filter (and deleting the Carter) but don't know which fittings to use to adapt the 1/2 inch FASS supply line through it. Truck is at home (not in front of me to look at), I am in A…

Also when I left for work this morning it sounded like my fan was running? What would cuase it to run when temp is 45 outside and coolant temp is under 140 degrees?

    I posted this question in an older thread, but apparently no one is looking at those old treads anymore. I think that it is time for a fluid change in my transmission. I have searched all over the place for Valvoline 50 SAE gear oil, and keep coming up empty. Does anyone have a source for the proper fluid for this transmission? i am concerned that the lube shop that did the last fluid change did not use the correct fluid, and that may be contributing to my hard slightly notchy shifts. This may be a stupid question, but is the Valvoline 50 SAE motor oil the same oil? I do not think that it would have the correct additives, but I am not positive. Any help or links would be …
