    1999 dodge cummins shifting problem

    check engine light... may be electrical?

    I know ALL about the dying dodge on the side of the highway... I had a brand new 99 ram 3500 Laramie SLT, It was nothing but a nightmare. I almost never bought another dodge again, now I have a 97 with no electronics. A $56,000 Truck that that couldn't go a month without problems was...

    What to do first with engine still on the stand??

    Basically But the fuel solenoid on the P7100 requires 3 wires and a 70 amp relay It runs in 2 stages, A higher current to pull the plunger in, and a low current to hold it there, you could have a push button switch for the Initial Pull in, and just run the holding current thru your...

    Getting exited about Biodiesel

    There is one station out here that sells bio diesel in 20, 40, and I believe 80%, it is quite a bit cheaper than regular diesel, But I was told by the owner of the station himself, along with a few other people, to install auxilliary filters before running it because it tends to clog everything...

    COLD STARTING? TALKEETNA,ALASKA

    I buy Motorcraft batteries from ford, they are very durable, My parents had a 1995 Aerostar minivan they bought new, the original battery lasted 7 years, that van itself was quite reliable, but ever since then I swear by Ford batteries.

    Turbo Questions

    I bought my H1C for $650 shipped straight from holset, an HX35 would have run me over $900, Chrysler wanted $1450, and cummins wanted $1200, The main thing you want to look for is shaft play, and wear or scrapes on the compressor intake, grab the shaft and wiggle it, there should be VERY...

    Rotary pump and inline pump engine question

    The old rotary (VE) pump 1989-1993 Is fuel lubricated, and The P7100 Inline pump 1994-1998 Is Oil lubricated, Also, The P7100 is equipped with AFC, which requires A source of Vacuum/boost to adjust air fuel ratio, that should be pretty easy to rig up, Also if I'm not mistaken I believe the VE...

    1999 dodge cummins shifting problem

    My thoughts exactly, I would say its probably your converter locking and unlocking, most people don't know the difference.

    Transmissions behind mechanical cummins

    The 47RH and the A518 are exactly the same transmission, Chrysler changed the way they numbered thier transmissions in I beleive 1993, The first digit 4: denotes the number of speeds (it's a 4 speed) The 2nd digit 7: stands for the strength ex. light duty front wheel drive is 41TE The...

    Transmissions behind mechanical cummins

    As far as im concerned e4od's are CRAP, I like fords, but even behind a gaspot those trannies are weak and are plagued with electrical issues. Like pipeliner86 said, The dodge 518's can be built to handle power, with a heavy duty low stall converter, a really good cooler, and ATF+4 I think...

    96' 12 valve Cranking wheel then stalling

    I run colored fuel all the time, but I add 2 cycle oil to it, it turns it blue so it renders the government dye useless, and it works good as an additive, I have also had good luck adding half a gallon of used motor oil in my ford club wagon... but in my dodge I only use 2 cycle or clean motor...

    96' 12 valve Cranking wheel then stalling

    2 words RETURN FITTING.... On the return line from the Inj. pump to the fuel tank, the fitting has what i believe to be a spring and check ball to allow the pump to build a certain amount of pressure before the return line opens, cold stalling, hard starting, loss of power, or stalling after...
