    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) VP44 + Heat + FASS?

    hard start Just wanted to say I have had my FASS 150 for over a year now and haven't had any hard start conditions no matter what. It always pumps up to around 15# when I first turn the key on, then drops to zero before I hit the key to start up the engine. Wish I had some answers why so many...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Truck sounds like a canary???

    belt?? I had the same sounds on a hot muggy day a week ago... thought a bearing was going south somewhere. After more research I found it to be my belt causing the noise,,, it was louder with the A/C running also. Try a few shots of Armorall on the belt and see if it goes away.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Stock fuel heater circuit

    fuel heater I ran my FASS pump all Winter with out any problems at all. It saw below zero temps with little change in fuel pressure, that's running a 3 micron filter. Not sure if it is my 1/2" suction line in the tank or just luck, I also run Stanadyne Performance Formula year round. I think...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Rasp

    pump swap If I'm not mistaken with out looking it up in the manuals, doesn't the mechanical lift pump for the prior 24 valve engines produce a much higher fuel pressure??? I know high fuel pressure on the VP44 is about as harmful as low pressure. Just a thought.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Quick 53 block ?, I promise

    53 block No not all '98. 5's came with 53 blocks. I have heard of many on here with that year that got lucky, mine included. On mine and the others that I have heard about on here with out a 53 in that year, have no casting number at all where the 53 usually is, instead a row of smaller numbers...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission any ideas????

    Does anyone have any tricks or easy ways to remove the pitman arm on a '98. 5 4X2? I just tried removing mine and it was hopeless. I have a pitman arm puller, tried that, used penetrate on splines even tried warming up the arm hoping to get it loose, didn't want to get things too hot and melt...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) If YOUR thinking about -AN style fuel fittings.......

    fittings I used Earl's -6an on all my fuel lines. No problems at all with the fittings or the perform-o-flex SS hose. Top notch!! Thanks for the heads up!!

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Is dealer lying to me?? Help please.

    no fuel I would have to agree with jwilliams3 on not hurting it too bad by running it dry. I can't believe the pumps would stand it too many times though since it does lube and cool them. Personally I like to keep mine above 1/2 tank or more all the time especially now that summer is here, the...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 99 24 valve

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Dodge pump failures

    pumps???? DBartoli, it does sound like a lot of pump replacements. I agree you should seek another mechanic, wether it's at DC or a good diesel shop. Makes me wonder with all the lift pump failures if you might have a restriction in your fuel tank module or fuel lines??? That is another great...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) New Superchips micro tuner won't work

    tuner Derek, does it say on the tuner display that it is VIN locked?? If so then someone has programed another truck with it and will not work on yours with out sending it to Superchips first to clear the stored VIN. Another thing is if the software is newer in your ECM than in the Superchips...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Fass Owners Read This

    Tractorface,,, I like your idea on installing a temperature sender in the fuel flow. That will be very helpful on monitoring the fuel temps that the VP44 is seeing and how well the fuel is staying cool. I have wanted to find an adapter fitting that I could install in the VP44 fuel inlet to...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Code 500 and 1693

    codes Well I can tell you what the codes stand for, not sure on fixing them. The P0500=no vehicle speed sensor signal, P1693=DTC detected in companion JTEC module. Sounds like to me you might have a speed sensor or maybe a wire connection going bad? Hope this helps. gary

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) dumb Comp. box question

    Well I have read through several threads with shaky results. I know this is a beaten horse, but hopefully someone will have an easy answer. I installed my Comp several weeks ago in EZ mode, wire not tapped, well now I am ready to tap that wire!! The pic. and description is a little deceiving...
