So this whole ordeal started with a truck I bought for a donor to swap into a Chevy truck. The truck is a 98.5 24v (build date 2/98) and it had 388xxx miles. It needed an ECM and a VP44, Turns out I had both on the shelf from previous builds. Long story short I got 2200 miles out of the engine before it ate a bearing. I had an 01 engine sitting that I had done a VE pump swap to for my crew cab. figured I'd just drop it in and keep trucking, HAHAHAHA not so simple. After scouring the usual sources for info I couldn't find much. The first fire up yielded a miss at part throttle and a CEL. Broke out the scanner and found a CMK sensor error, switched to live data and found a dead crank position sensor. Now 98.5-00 engines and ECMs use a CAM and a Crank position sensor, my 01 engine didn't have the tone ring on the crank, easy fix right? Well kinda. Turns out that you'll need the 01 or 02 ECM for your 01 or 02 engine, to correct the errant CMP signal error I built an extension harness to move the "crank" sensor wiring to the Cam position. Turns out I had stripped the tone wheel from my 01 cam when I did my VE pump swap. Pulled the cam and replaced the tone wheel. Yes it does matter where the missing "tooth" goes by the way. At this point the only issue I have is the AC is inop, the ECM controls the compressor clutch in 01 trucks and the PCM controls it in 98.5 trucks, I'm working on a fix for that at the moment and I'll update as I work out any further issues.

Long story short I had to replace the engine in my otherwise reliable old truck at 298000. That part with the exception of busted knuckles and not having done it before, went off mostly okay though I’m still not completely finished, due to the challenges described below. While wrestling the new engine into place at the bell housing and torque converter I inadvertently squashed a white vacuum line. I managed to get it removed from between the two sections. Now when trying to trace it back I find there is a second (unsquished) white line. What are these and where are they supposed to be terminated? Also, when the exhaust came out I now have a black rubber hose with a small metal curved pipe and bracket. (See pic). Where did THIS one appear from? Any and all assistance is appreciated and I thank you in advance. Please don’t cut my throat, I’ve never tackled anything like this before.

Hello;allow me to introduce myself,my name is ed and I hail from manitoba,canada.I have been lurking on this and other forums for a while now,looking for info on a project I was roped into.I have a tech question and am looking for assistance:I am in the process of attempting to install a '01 24v into a '99 ram.The '99 threw a rod.I have run into the problem of the lack of a crank tone ring on the 01 engine.I had planned to do the crank swap but it turned out that the '99 crank was cracked and junk.So here is my question:I have read that it may be possible to change the '99 harness so that the crank sensor wire is re-routed and connected to the cam sensor on the '01 engine,to provide speed and timing reference to the ecu.Can anyone confirm that this is possible and successful?Would the '99 ecu work,or would it need to be re-flashed,or could I use the '01 ecu?I have full engine accessories for both engines including pumps ,ecu's,and harnesses.The harnesses are substantially different between the 2 engines.Just trying to find out if there is any work around the crank tone ring problem.Thanks in advance.

I give up I don't know what else to do. I finished my 3 month project about 2 weeks ago... twins, injectors,cross overs, o ringed head, totally swapped the complete wiring harness ecm, pcm, all sensors and VP pump and NV5600 along with the cluster from a wrecked 02 to my 98.5, the problem is when I start it the tach works for 7 seconds then goes dead and I get the code for cam sensor problem, I've tried both sensors and both vp pumps, checked all connections, ran the cluster through the diagnostic test and still no joy. I even tried the cluster from the 98.5, everything on both trucks worked perfectly before I started this project. I think when the tach isn't working it is also detuned as I can only pull 40 psi with the twins and 240 injectors and the juice on 6. If I shut the juice off I cant hit 20 psi and it is a pig. Oh and the tach on the edge attitude works fine. What am I missing? Help:banghead:please....
