Ate all the shims in the injectors the same diameter? It seems [MOPAR][/MOPAR]like it.

Decided to install a revmax stage 4 convertor. The new jasper auto is junk with out a better convertor.

Trust me I'm curious too and I will tell you what was wrong --- Update to the previous post... was the 99 a 4 wheel drive or 2 wheel drive

Would it be easier to pull off the last two valve bridges instead? Just looking at options.

Where did you get your Revmax TC??

Well decided to just change the motor, seeing how I found with low miles cheap. Then I can take my time and rebuild the old one. Does anybody know any tricks on getting the motor out? I know the front end has to come off, but does the oil pan or the rocker bridges have to come off? Or is there another way?

I cant seem to remember if my dodge 47re is loc up or non loc up torque convertor? Can anyone help!

Someone else told me they think the ECM wont be compatable??

Ok guys I have a chance to buy a 2002 HO 5.9 with low mileage and was wondering if any of you know if a 2002 will fit where my 2001 5.9 was? Will the wiring reconnect correctly and will it fit my 47RE?:ahhh:Please advise me!!

I have not been drivin it.

No have not pulled the head yet. Exhuasting all options first. I was going to do a leak down test, as suggested, but ran into a problem. I pulled all injectors placed the adapter in the #1 injector hole began turning the motor over with a barring tool while the wife was watching for TDC at the puke box location. She informed me the injection pump was not turning. Sooo I began taking the front apart to find that problem and found out she was wrong. She didnt understand the injection pump turned slow while I was turning the barring tool slowly. What a mess up. Needless to say I stopped and checked it made her turn the barring tool and caught it before I took the cover off. Now back to where I was. Im going to leak down test it first before I take the head off.I am still amazed that anything went wrong seeing it never got hot!!:banghead:

Ok, but what about a valva guide?

Well i finally got acompression test done. Number one was only 100 and the rest were over 300 varying. Should i try a vaccum leak down, lile other people suggested? Could this reading of 100 be caused ny a valve, head gasket?

Again thank you for all the suggestions. I'm trying everything else before going to head. I have some I come in saturday to check the compression. In the meantime could possibly the turbo or vacuum pump be bad still if so how do I check the vacuum pump --- Update to the previous post... Again thank you for all the suggestions.

It never got hot at all!!

Thanks everyone!!!....I pulled the valve cover offf and didnt see nothing lose. Someome suggested maybe fouled injectors? I dont know. All i know is it happened right after i filled her up.

How can I check the vacuum pump?

If it wasnt for bad luck I wouldnt have any luck at all!... Now my 01 24 valve is spitting oil out the dipstick bad! I get a puffing noise from where you ad oil in the valve cover. Checked the puke box nothing wrong with it. What the heck is going on???:banghead: Is there another vent for the crank I am missing? Or could it be the vacuum pump again? It runs rough and smoking white. :banghead:

Since my tranny blew the torque convertor I am forced to do another total rebuild on it. My question to you guys is that people are saying that the second generation automatics 47RE's are only rated to pull up to 30,000 pounds, with a built transmission? It seems kind of low. Any thoughts??

yes, it still moves im just afraid to drive it.

I was driving down the road last night and heard a big bang. I thought by the sound that I hit an animal. The truck seemed to loose power after that. Today I noticed that there is tranny fluid coming out the front of the tranny by the torque converter. Can anyone give me some insight as to what could have broke or gone wrong.

Yes, it was the second band that was broke and i had it replaced.

It sounds like the vp 44 is not keeping up with the demand of fuel. Might be a cracked diaphram in the VP, because sometimes it wil give you a decent reading at idle, then dropping in pressure as you go, thus sending your egts high.

I was told anythng over 18 is damaging the diaphram in the VP pump. Just my

I disagree, hauling is for autos, standards are for little boys!....LOL
