    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) New water pump. Gates or Cummins?

    I also have a 2002 Cummins and just changed everything as you did. I purchased Geno's tensioner and never could keep the bely straight. I went on and purchased a new pulley and put it on original tensioner. Worked great and no belt issues. I also put Geno's Gates water pump and hoses with no...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) At what mileage has your VP 44 died

    First one on my 2002 Cummins died at 85,000. Second one died at 175,000. I have installed several lift pumps but now run a new design Delphi. I now have a fuel pressure gage and I hope I can get at least another 100K on this one.

    Thanks to all. I get stuff from Geno's so I will order repair parts for both. This will be a rainy weekend job for me later in the year.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) what brand of replacement starter

    I have a 2002 Dodge 5.9 Cummins with 170,000 miles and it still turns me on every time I get in it, I just changed the water pump, belt and idler pulley just for preventive maintenance. I was thinking about the starter rebuild next. I am not having any issues but I guess I just like to stay...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Whistling sound

    I found the whistle or should I say the people that had just change my VP found it. After building all sorts of testing fixtures with no luck, I brought it back to the VP repair shop. They had assured me that nothing they did would cause a whistle. Well, after less than an hour they called me to...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Whistling sound

    Wow I think I can do that. What do you mean pressurize the system? Where and how. The noise is not a metal to metal sound but more like a whistle and does sound Turbo related by the way the sound goes up and down with throttle.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Whistling sound

    I was afraid of that. What are my options? Should I park it? I cant hear any whistling while cruising down the road, just getting up to speed. Is this an expensive fix?

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Whistling sound

    I have developed a whistling sound from under the hood of my 2002 Dodge 3/4 ton diesel. I have tried to find it but cannot hear it with the hood open. I have had someone rev the engine and I still cannot hear it. It only whistling while driving and accelerating. If you shift into neutral while...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 2002 Ram fuel sending unit

    I have the new sending unit and fuel tank back in the truck. Everything is working good now. I had a connection problem at the top of the fuel tank where the wires plug in. Thanks for all of your help.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 2002 Ram fuel sending unit

    I just put an ohm meter on the spliced wire sending unit and it read 220 empty and 21 full. I guess that answers my question about the spliced wires. It must be the connection from the truck plug to the sending / suction module. I will keep looking.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 2002 Ram fuel sending unit

    Any suggestions ? Did cutting the wires and re soldering them have any affect on the sending unit?

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 2002 Ram fuel sending unit

    I dropped the tank on my 2002 ram diesel to change the fuel sending unit. I purchased a new Mopar 04897669AB sending unit from the local dealer. I worked for hours trying to release the 2 wires from the plug in the large sending unit / suction housing. I could not get the 2 wires unhooked to...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 2002 Ram lift pump

    I disconnected the fuel line to the frame mounted lift pump. I made a fitting to attach a blow line to the fuel tank. I blew on it by mouth and could hardly blow thru it so I put my air compressor on the line and blew gently. After that, I could blow by mouth but not too easy. I syphoned the...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 2002 Ram lift pump

    No screen from tank to frame mounted lift pump. I will be putting one on as soon as I find my problem. Where is this banjo bolt (return valve) located and what does this have with not being able to suck fuel from the tank? Sorry for all the stupid questions but I need my truck back on the road...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 2002 Ram lift pump

    I removed the old lift pump and ran the stock fuel line directly to the stock fuel filter. When I cranked the truck the gage showed 16 lbs. That was way more than I saw pushing fuel thru the stock carter pump. I took the truck for a ride and it never showed lower than 14 lbs while driving. This...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 2002 Ram lift pump

    Thanks for all of the feedback. I will remove the old lift pump and see what difference it makes. I still have a hard time understanding why a restriction should not make gage pressure go higher and not lower. I'll give feedback when I remove stock lift pump. Anyone know of a transition piece...
