Might want to talk to our "Site Transmission Guru" he does sell kits for rebuilding transmissions and upgrade kits. https://mopar1973man.com/forum/173-dynamic-transmissions/ I just got done having him build my little 46RE and he did a awesome job. Worth taking the moment and talking to him.

@JAG1 Your a 2nd Gen 24V vs. 3rd Gen CR. Ratios are a bit different since they have pre-injection phase.

Any 2 cycle oil will work. Preferred to be petroleum and not synthetic. 200:1 ratio is normal for CR engines. I highly suggest you at least get a boost and pyrometer gauges. Rail pressure would be a good too but you can get that with a live data tool like OBDLink LX or similar.

Personally spending about $5 a quart for ATF+4 I would look towards fixing the leak and changing the fluid in one shot. But, that's me.

Doesn't exist... That old rubber diaphragm was replaced long time ago with a steel plate. Some people love to use that old diahagm story to sell VP44 pumps. After having a long conversation with Idaho State Police Officer about GAWR, GCWR and GVWR numbers. As he told me no matter what its illegal to be over your GVWR on the trailer or vehicle... Period. Take notice I'm only 160 pounds away from my vehicle GVWR and 620 pounds away frm my trailer GVWR. Tight but legal.

As for the Trans Leak. As for the thermostat you should reach 190*F no matter what. Even in sub zero weather ad not towing. So the thermostat is shot. Well I would highly suggest you change th ATF in the transmission. Just loosen the valve body a little bit and it will drain the torque converter most of the way for you. Adjusting the band are in the FSM in the download area. Typically you torque to 72 inch/pounds and then back off X amount of turns. If I'm not mistaken the fluid and bands should be service every 100k miles or reduced down to 60k miles for high speed travel.

I've got a hard time with high MPG at high speed. If you can reach those kind of numbers at 70 MPH you should be well over 30 MPG at a lower speed say 55 or 60 MPH. Which most of the never happens. This why I've got hard time with it. I've asked these people to try a lower speed and the MPG number fall like rock. Yeah like my previous 14 ply (load range G's) tires were lighter than my current 10 ply (Load range E's) tires. These are just slightly heavier. So the ply number does mean it lighter. Remember some tires are cast with heavier lug pattern giving weight to the tire. Both are 235/85 R16's. Like a H/T tire is typically lighter than a A/T or M/T tire again comparing to same sized tire. Then a H/T tire typically has less rolling resistance compared to a A/T or M/T.

Always makes me chuckle to the comments of using a fuel additive to clean things out. Maybe it would be much better to use a better fuel filter. 3 micron is optimal. Fuel additives typically are like pissing in a pond. a 35 gallon tank is 4,480 ounces of fuel so adding 12-16 ounces of anything going to change the cleaning ability? Very doubtful. P0216 error code. I hardly doubt any fuel additive is going to fix a galled up timing piston. Most P0216 codes are caused because the fuel pressure can no longer advance timing properly. The PSG give a small amount of time to reach commanded timing if not reached in that time period the P0216 code is set. It could be a valving issue that maybe the additive ungummed the control valve. Even the valve has a screen to prevent plugging but again shouldn't have anything there if there is a quality fuel filter used. Oh.. This pump did end it's life as a P0216 code.

Lift pump is not keeping up. A wide range of pressure fall is a sign of demand volume being higher than the supply volume. Basically the lift pump can't keep up volume wise so pressure starts to fall. As for error codes what codes are being thrown? Fuel additives tend to mask over the VP44 issues most times and return after the additive is consumed.

No joke. I got to admit I'm way ahead of most being I've not really had any TV for over 15 years. So all these cop shows and high speed racing around I don't even watch that stuff. I get to see the ugly side of helping folks that live in that world of fast cars and movie dreaming. That alone is enough to slow anyone down.

Really simple. The Pin Assignments on the sensors are different. Look at ground and signal assignments. 2001 A. Org 5V B. Blk/Lt Blu Ground C. Gry/Red Signal 2002 A. Org 5V B. Gry /Red Signal C. Blk/Lt Blu Ground

There was at least 3 different MAP sensors that I know and the last two 2001 and 2002 can be interchanged.

I understand the CCW part. How is it going away? Meaning it's going to be illegal to conceal carry? Or... It will be legal to conceal carry? More information wanted and needed.

In regards to vehicle accidents. Most people are too quick to drive speed limit or +5 or +10 over. I'm typically -5 to -10 under the speed limit. I know there is all kind of blind corners, ignorant people, vision limitations with night time out here. So many times I've been close calls to people driving like "Jack A__es" on the road. Personally I'm not happy with the fact of speed limits over 65 MPH at all. There is no vehicle out that can efficiently run those speeds period. Now working with the fire department for over 10 years now. I really do hate working traffic on vehicle accidents because people cant understand there is a vehicle accident to slow down. I mean slow down from 65 MPH to 10-15 MPH as you go through a accident scene. Be here we are small and limited amount of volunteers for all agencies (except police) than handle anything that is toss out at us. Extreme distances to any kind of help as the way of hostpitals. Yeah we got a hostpital in McCall, ID and Grangevile, ID but 90% of the time those victims of accidents are sent to McCall to be packaged up again to be sent to Boise, ID or life flighted to Boise, ID directly. Like both counties now are limiting police force and where and when they can patrol. This is just increasing the time for response for them now. So it comes to down to preventing accidents and injuries for us. Being smart, taking your time. Be prepared for anything to happen.

Nice in larger cities when that can get extra resources. Like for us out here you might end up fighting fire as a single person for a few hours. Been there done that.

Being part of the fire department you see all kind of rude behavior. Like I happen to be coming up on a burning semi loaded with hay. I parked the truck and bailed up and identified myself to the local FD and proceed to help fight the fire and a helping hand. It the same token MoparMom was back getting people to pull over and not block the two lane highway. One guy walk up to her and was pissed off because it was going to delay his time schedule. He needed to get to Nevada like right now. I've seen people sitting cars and more worried about getting good photos/video with their iPhone than driving past the scene safely. Nearly had another EMS person hit by a car. I've been to accidents and had people upset because the Emergency Services are not as quick whatever city they live in. Again out here no one lives at the fire houses or ambulance bay. They respond from home to a shed to pick up th equipment. Even Life Flight has to fly quite a distance and then, locate a LZ and most time do a hand off with local crews.

??? Explain your post...

So was I. I go the transmission out without a jack and placed back up without jack. I did use a jack for a few periods of time for angle adjustment. Floor jack is a help but also hindrance because of the fact of the lift amount is too short. A 8x8 wood block has to be use to fill the gap making it rather a balancing act if done wrong. Then rolling around on a creeper you keep hooking the jack or handle making things jiggle. Like I said I only used the jack to get angle adjustment. Then when I was close I started threading all the bolts in so the transmission is on slide pins more or less. Just jiggle a bit and tighen up your bolts by hand keep closing your gap.

At least FSM shows that throttle and TV arm should move at the same time. Starting from fully forward on the TV arm.

Normal on our diesels. As for gasoline it does show idling flow rates. Even my OBDLink LX doesn't show idle flow rates.

They all the same. 60-65 HP period without a wire tap. Then is once you tap the wire you gain more control. You can directly modify the fuel signal for added timing and fuel. How this is done is adding more fuel pulse before time or just extending it. So now that the window of ability is open now your capable of controlling more so. Personally, I think Quadzilla has a much better tuning abiltiy over Edge but still Edge Comp / Juice holds it ground rather well. As for all the other non-wire tap modules and programmers you are stuck playing by the rules of the ECM / VP44 and can't exceed so you're limited on timing and fuel amounts so not to create errors within the system. Wire tapping now bypasses this and allows for direct modification of the signal this why there is an increase in power. Now that being said being I'm working with the OBDLink LX scan tool and I can tell you stock Volumetric Efficiency is 63% for ISB Cummins. Now after figuring out the effect of the Edge Comp on 5x3 its a 77.5% volumetric efficiency now. Roughly 14.5% gain.

Yes. You can pus the screw right through the circuit board. Typically results in a broken corner of the circuit board and VP44 replacement. You need to check 12V at the tap wire with the key ON and not running. Most likely nothing wrong with the sensor but looking at connection that nothing is corroded or loose.

Above picture shows the ECM voltage at 15.7 volts??? Max of 16.0 Volts??? That excessive voltage might be causing some issues.

Just for information value. With Edge Products its backwards the higher the level thee better the economy. It's not like Smarty where you turn it down. So with like my Edge Comp even with the wire tap I see at least 3 MPG gain on level 5 (120 HP) where it barely 1 MPG on level 1 (40 HP).

It's just not efficient. As for RPM causing harm, these engines take a beating towing. Like my trip to @Dynamic shop several grades I was holding 2,200 to 2,500 RPM towing 8,000 pound RV. The tires are your biggest problem. Just for fun if you can find a friend with stock 31" tires swap with him for an afternoon and see if the transmission works better. Cost nothing but time to swap tires.
