    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) VP44 new v.s. rebuilt

    I think I am due for a VP. I posted down the line, and I have one more check to run before I condemn my pump. This may have been hashed out way back, but this is now. In reading BlueChip diesel writings, their rebuilt pumps have a lot of upgrades, and depending on how much money to spend $1200...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Intermittent dead pedal & p1693 code

    Hey all, I am trying to get the bugs worked out of the 2000 Dodge I have been working on since last January. This has included a steering rebuild, track bar upgrade, various gaskets & repairs to the engine & body. The thing that troubles me is an intermittent dead pedal (I think that is what it...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) How do I replace the shift rod seal on my transmission?

    I have a seal leaking on the shift rod of my auto trans on the 2000 model truck. I thought it may have been the pan gasket, so I changed fluid, filter & gasket. Needed serviced anyway. Nope, still leaks. So I check more carefully & I can see fluid leaking from that seal where the shifter...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Warning about the block heater cord rubbing the A/C line

    I found the block heater power cord was rubbing the aluminum part of the A/C line near the compressor, and had almost rubbed a hole through! I could see this as needless and expensive. I dont know if this has already been addressed here or not, but I am posting this to hopefully help someone...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Dropped pitman arm - which one

    I am trying to find a dropped pitman arm to lower my draglink by about 1"- 1 1/2" or so. I called Summit racing and they told me that the ones they had flipped the ball over so it is on the bottom instead of the top. Not good in my case. They really didnt have any other info. Does anyone know of...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) KDP kit ??? Help!

    I have the front off my engine to fix some small oil leaks, incl. the side cover gasket. I ordered the KDP kit from Genos. To be blunt, it doesnt fit! The kit has the angled tab, which should be right for this engine. The engine has about a 1/4" raise where the pin sits (the bolt for the tab is...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Blinker wont blink, where'd they hide that thing???

    Guys, while knocking the front end of this truck apart for the BIG overhaul, I remembered the turn signal and hazzard flashers werent blinking. I read the thread posted earlier about the flasher, they mentioned it being in the fuse panel. Ok, I looked - didnt see anything that looked like a...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) smoke from the draft tube and damper question

    I have been reading as much as I can about this 24v engine, and could use a little advice. It is fairly high mileage, seems to have been maintained. 1. When the engine warms up, I get some smoke/vapor out of the draft tube. The previous owner removed a can or something because it threw oil...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Odometer fading

    Guys, I have been reading a post about changing over to the metric instrument panel, and saw what I think is a contradiction about the mileage. My odometer has faded to where it is difficult to read, and I am seeking info about replacing it or the entire cluster. Where is the mileage stored? I...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission rear window removal & replacement

    Does anyone know how to remove & replace the rear window glass in a 2000 Dodge quad cab? I need to install a sliding rear window. I have a 96 parts truck with the slider. Is this even possible/practical? Thanks

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Wobble wobble shake shake

    I have recently aquired a 2000 Dodge 2500 4x4 quad cab. I have experianced "Death Wobble" 2 times, in about 20 miles. huh... :mad: I had my wife turn the steering wheel (with that lousy walmart cover on it) while I observed the steering components. Yep, the whole front end moves back and...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Steering wheel interchange

    I have a newly aquired 2000 Ram 2500. Got some bugs to work out and been doing lots of reading, esp about the "death wobble". Experianced this twice in under 20 miles. But what I would like to know is if the steering wheel from a Durango, van or Dakota will fit this truck. Leather is worn...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Considering to buy a 1998 3500

    I have found a 1998 24v 3500 2x4, automatic quad cab for a good price. Repo w 155k (unless the odometer is messed up). I havent seen it, and want some info before I make the trip. I dont have much experiance with the 24v engines, and I am in a hurry. I did a search and know there were problems...

    Odometer doesnt work

    This is on the 1992 dump in my truck profile. The odometer hasnt worked since I purchased this truck but the speedometer works ok. Before I start ripping into the instrument cluster, could this be caused by something else? Such as a non existant crank sensor or something I would have no idea...

    Duel rear wheels - how???

    Guys, I have a 92 standard cab CTD 2wd that I bought a year ago. It had been "made" a duelie, to handle the dump bed, but I dont think this duel setup is the best. They have used an adapter/spacer that sets the rear wheels out about 2 1/2 inches, and converts the 1/2 lugs to 9/16. This doesnt...

    Rough idle on my '95 Chevy S10

    The other day my '95 S10 developed a rough idle and surges when driving. Started fine, drove it a few miles, and stopped, then noticed the problem. It sounds the way an engine with a stuck choke or bad float sounds. It does smell rich. The engine is the 4. 3 Vortec V6 with the center fuel...

    Crank sensor

    :confused: Hey guys, just what does the crank sensor do on my 92 CTD? Yea, I know it tells the engines computer the RPM, etc, but what does the computer do in response to the engine? Does it adjust pump timing or fuel delivery? Since this doesnt have the electronic pump, I am quite curious...

    Blowin by

    I recently purchased a 1992 standard cab truck that has had a dump bed put on some time back. I think I might have gotten "bitten" :{ on the deal, but not sure how bad. The engine is hard to start cold, but know at least part of the problem is the lack of a good battery. However, my other '92...

    180 hp injectors

    Guys, I am starting a new thread since my old one got so long. I took the injectors from my 1992 W250 12v CTD to the shop in McAllen to get them checked and repaired. They said I had several bad tips. They said it had 7mm tips, and 180 was the biggest they could get for this engine (I kinda...
