    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) No oil Pressure new sensor no codes

    Yes I guess I can be called an idiot for driving my truck without the oil pressure gauge working, but I did do some checks myself!! Since my post though, the gauge did start working and then not working again, so my guess is its a ground issue, but I'll be sure to check your "Tips"!! Thanks...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) P-pumped predicament

    Here is just a suggestion buddy, for a cam I would go with a Diesel Pros Cam, and ONLY their cam!!! I have one in my p-pumped first gen running a PS 62 over a 475 and it spools as fast a a single!!! Seriously no lie!!! And for your timing, if your pump is still at 15 degrees, add another 5-8...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) No oil Pressure new sensor no codes

    First off about a 1 1/2 years ago I put a new oil pressure sensor in my 99 and had the computer flashed to accept the new updated sensor!!!!! Not long about 8 months later the oil pressure gauge started messing up. Like I was losing oil pressure, but then it would come right back on. Almost...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Fan Low, Med, High on '02 Ram

    Speaking of heater issues, I have a 99, all the speeds work on the fan, and all the air directions work, the issue I do have is that I hardly get any heat!! The Heat/cold knob works, if I turn it to cold it turns cold, if I turn it to hot, well, its about luke warm. And when its 25 degrees or...

    47rh trans controller

    So here's what I've got going on. I have a 1990 w250 4x4 that I did a boat load of changes to. I p-pumped it, twins, and changed out the transmission to a 47rh, which is fully built. I'm running into an issue with getting the transmission to work correctly. Because this truck didn't come with OD or Lock-up...

    Electrical Monster!!!!

    Thanks Bruce, after doing some more looking and staring and thinking about the whole thing, I beleive your right also, I definately need more grounds and I think I should re-wire some things and put them by themselves instead of somewhat together so they don't share power!!! Thanks I...

    Electrical Monster!!!!

    I've got a 90 that I have just done a whole boat load of things to. From installing an intercooler to different transmission and rear end. Basically what I am saying is that besides the body and interior everything has either been rebuilt or replaced or removed!!! First off when driving under...

    ED Turbos???? Shady character??!!!

    Heard some info last weekend about Chris over there at Engineered Diesel about dealing with him and his turbos. Before you get your panties in a wad, I just want to be clear, I just heard this. So what I have heard is that for one, ED don't build thier own turbos, cut their own wheels ect. I...

    Gauge Pod???

    Is there anyone out there that knows of a 3 pod gauge pillar for the ol first gen? Or how about 4 gauge pod that will mount in a decent place in the truck that is easy to glance at, but still looks good? I don't want anything thats on the dash either!!! I have the 2 gauge pod already, but I'm...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Injectors

    You definately can't go wrong with 370's as far as cheap horsepower. But like the other guy said, they are a MARINE injector, therefore putting them into your truck is going to cause a slight mismatch with the piston-to-injector. Causing a haze at an idle and more black smoke under heavy...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 6AN Cooler VS 8AN Cooler Transmission cooler

    So I just purchased a transmission cooling fan from Procomp and they ended up sending me the wrong fitting sized cooler. I ordered the 8AN but a 6AN fitting cooler showed up at the door. So here it is, the unit is a 6AN fitting, 16 pass cooler with a 650 cfm fan on it. Will the 6AN fitting size...

    High Transmission temps

    Definately check the transmission fluid. I'm sure running it at those temps had to have burned the fluid. Do yourself a favor and do a fluid change. You should be alright for awhile, but transmissions don't like high temps at all!!!!

    Whats the angle the engine should sit????

    I've got a first gen and I'm putting a 47rh in it. I am keeping the 205 with it also, which I already have it converted to mate to the 47. My next step is I have to build a transmission mount because the 47 is a bit longer than the 518 so using the stock mount is out of the question. I have the...

    power steering hoses

    I just bought the return and pressure lines for my 90, first went to a hose making joint, "House of Hose" "what a JOKE they were", then I called NAPA and they had them both. The return line was $14 and some change and the pressure line was $18 and some change. Fittings and everything!!! Good luck

    Grille

    You can find aftermarket parts for your old dodge but you have to kinda dig a little bit. I have a 90 and have gotten some parts for the grille on mine through some of these sites. It is china crap, but its cheap and it looks really good and fits really well. Go to Overnightautoparts.com...
