ok so since my truck blew up a couple of months ago i'm looking to get my hands a new motor. I have found a couple 01 cummins to put in it. Now for this swap i should just need to get the ecu reflshed for the Cam postiton sensor. is there anything else i should really know before doing this swap?

No i haven't, the depper i dug the more stuff i found messed up. The motor was a total loss. So i'm looking around finding one. This guy i met has a longblock with everything except turbo, and i have seen the motor and it is very clean and he want like $1,500 for it so we will see.

Yea in de as far as i know they dont do a smoke output test, atleast i haven't had one done, its just safety when it come time to renew my registration.

jeez over in the west coast they give you guys emissions tests on a diesel truck? I know they started over here with the i think 07 and up model years, but when i go through with my truck they just check safety stuff and thats it. hmmm werid

well if you have anything later then a 99 your safe, mid year they swapped the case's on the cummins without the dowel pin, pretty much any 24 valve till mid 99 still carries the KDP issue, and you can find stuff all over online for fixes! I will try to snag pictures too along the way if time...

yea me either until i started pulling stuff apart, like i said kinda nervous to see the rest!

it has 242,xxx, and ran like a top before this little issue.

as far as i know, the push rods are bent, haven't pulled the rest apart yet, but i am suspecting all new valve train, possible timing gears. And i've heard some people have it happen and they luck out looks like i got the I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER end of the stick on this one.

well found out the problem, KDP. Every single push rod is the motor is bent. Now time to drop even more $$$$ to get it fixed if it's savable.

I took it to the local diesel shop right down the street from me, since i dont really trust the stealerships and stay away from them like the plague, but i will go if it is only something they can fix. Are you thinking it might be with the Pcm not keeping the correct timing?

Thanks man, idk i got so fed up with it looking at the same stuff over and over again that i took it to the shop. Maybe a new fresh head will boast some answers. I'll report back with findings guys.

they check valve was brand new with the truck, and when before i replaced it, everything seemed to check out fine. #@$%!

i was thinking the key not flush with the front of the gear could that cause and issue?

you could also install a tc lockup switch, it's cheap effective and it works, Just make sure you use it at speeds 50 and above and don't have it engaged when upshifting or it could end badly for your input shaft. I had the same issues a couple months back and did the lockup switch and haven't...

i have checked those as well, they are all good! would cracking the outflow valve banjo bolt help at all? i know it already bleeds air out and how should the fuel look coming out of the cracked injectors? like a nice squirt right?

ok guys well i just got done bleeding the fuel system and still no start, i am stumped! the factory lift pump has been removed since i installed the AirDog. The truck is throwing zero codes. I'm half temped to tow it to a shop if i can't get more answers soon. So it's getting fuel and plenty of...

ok thanks guys because i have been cranking for two days on it trying to bleed the system as much as i can and it still isn't fireing. should i worry about the white smoke coming out of the exhaust and intake as i'm cranking on it? All i take it as the truck is burning some sort of fuel just not...

Hey guys i have a 24v cummins that keep cranking but will not start. I had just replaced the inj pump and lift pump, and triple checked to make sure they key made it through the key way. The trucks sounds like it wants to start just that there is something keeping it from doing that. I've pulled...
