Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 24 Valve P-pump conversion need help

[RJaeken]

baught a fast truck in the US with Mark Kendrick twins, a DTT transmission, a 4-link rear with disks and a detroit locker. Unfortunately the seller forgot to mention the cracked block (even he wrote a thread about it in the TDR) and I had to replace the 53 block. Used a fresh 12 valve and installed a huge P-pump off a Saetek 10. 3 L Offshore Race motor which has been calibrated by the local Bosch guys to match my truck. Now the Hardware is installed but I have a bunch of cables and the computer lying around and I wonder what to do with the TPS, the signals for the gauges, the cruise control and what else to worry about.

The truck is a 99 automatic.

Thanks for replies and hints, over here in Europe one is glad for any Dodge passing by.

Its a complicated job from what I've come across , I would 1st do a search hear , I am hesitant to point you to some I know that have , because of time being an issue & and they may value there research , I do not think it is my place to volunteer there time , but hopefully , some one will come up with info ,
It would seem like a tough deal to have a CTD there & trying to mods , but then most of what I get has to be shipped also .

 

[RJaeken]

Well, I did some research here, but to make it easy to myself I was looking for a nicely walkthrough... .

Thanks for poiting me in the right direction.



Ow, and shipping things is no problem, neither paying for it.



I think that I will need to hook up some kind of tps, mayby get a wiring harness from a 12V.



Any help is welkom, and on top of that I really would like to know how it´s going to run with the p pump



thanks

Your also kinda by your self , because you've got most all the wiring that the 24v has [ body/trans/injectors ] but none of the advantages of the 24v eng. , so your going to have a problem doing what others have done [ they used a 24v eng. ] , I'm stating the obvious just in case , the computer is programed to control the trans & eng. in relation to one an other depending on the conditions , speed , temp , TPS ect.

I used a 12v block but as you can see in the pictures it's still the 24V head I used

 

[JFaughn]

Can't tell form the picture if it was before or after the 53 block ,
So at least your with others doing the P pump , you may need to reflash the computer ,
If you PM me I'll give you a shop I know has done some of this , I would suggest that you let him know that his info has value & he has a lot of parts old & new around ,
I usually like to keep on the site with info , but being that he is a buis. I would hate to see him get a blizzered of calls ,

I'd give Amianthus a PM. He has done this conversion and I believe, but not sure, he has working cruise.

Is the truck an auto or a manual?

Hi, auto by DTT



Thanks for the info, I start to think maybe it wasn't such a good idea...

Not to change the subject, but the looks of those spaghetti lines (woops I mean injector lines) would scare me a bit. Hopefully those weren't stock 12v or 24v lines bent to fit in the field? Don't think I'd strike out on any long road trips with those

They are the 24v which are bend but they will be changed, I promise
