    new 24 valve on ebay

    Yep, it's a 24 valve... . Look at the valve cover. Looking at all of the photos, this thing was either under water, or it has been out in the weather UNCOVERED. ------------------ DEBEEST, 99 QC 2500, SLT, 4X4, LWB, 5 Spd, Rhino Liner, Mobil Delvac 1 5W40, Auto Trim Design Runningboards, Les...

    throttle

    I wouldn't worry to much. The old Detroits were that way as well. Has to do with the tension on the return spring. My 99 does it too. Won't hurt anything. ------------------ DEBEEST, 99 QC 2500, SLT, 4X4, LWB, 5 Spd, Rhino Liner, Mobil Delvac 1 5W40, Auto Trim Design Runningboards, Les Schwab...

    Boost guage rattle

    Okay guys, Mine did the same thing when I installed it. Apparrantly the nylon carries the vibration from the engine up to the gauge. To cure the problem I cut the nylon line about 18 inches from the manifold and inserted a 6 inch rubber hose... . NO MORE PROBLEM. think it cost me about 50 cents...

    Oil

    I found the distributor for Mobil products in Billings, MT. I get a good deal from him. Much better than any truck stop. Look around. Check the phone book. Find the distributor for your area. My last order for Delvac 1 was $19. 20 gal. ------------------ DEBEEST, 99 QC 2500, SLT, 4X4, LWB, 5...

    gauge installation

    To get rid of the "rattle" try cutting the nylon line about a foot from the engine and putting 6 inches of rubber tubing in. Sure got rid of mine. ------------------ DEBEEST, 99 QC 2500, SLT, 4X4, LWB, 5 Spd, Rhino Liner, Mobil Delvac 1 5W40, Auto Trim Design Runningboards, Les Schwab Wild...

    transmission Changes?

    Now if it was me... I would dig outmy service manual. But just in case you can't find the correct page #21-340... ... . The front band adjustment for the 47RE is 72 inch pounds, then back the screw off 1 7/8 turn. The lock nut should be torqued to 30 ft lbs... ... The rear band adjustment would...

    Back up lights. Which wire??

    Keep in mind the wiring difference between the 98. 5 and the 99. If memory serves me right, the 98. 5 is switched on the positive side and the 99 on the ground side. I highly recommend using a relay and powering from the battery for the add-on lights. Hook the relay to the backup light wire to...

    So what does this oil filter fit...

    Deepsix, that is the Mopar listed filter for all diesel applications. It is a paper filter. Most of the guys with the 24 valve are using the Fleetguard LF 3894 Stratapore. The one you have will work, but the other is better. ------------------ DEBEEST, 99 QC 2500, SLT, 4X4, LWB, 5 Spd, Rhino...
