    5.9 sensors

    Some that come to the top of my head... - Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor - Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) - Idle Air Control (IAC) valve (these commonly get dirty with age and can cause issues with idle quality) - Oxygen (O2) sensor (I know later years have 2 of these, one...

    Torque converter locking/unlocking?

    This one here... Since posting, problem still hasn't occurred again, so I'm gonna say that was it! Also, I wouldn't let the "economy" badge fool you. Seems Rock Auto has classified a lot of NTK sensors as such despite the fact that they're my #1 go-to whenever I can get 'em. I have yet to have...

    Will Harland sharp rocker arms S70037

    I have actually purchased that same set of rockers for my engine, but I'm going to be running the factory camshaft. Haven't gotten them installed yet, but am hoping to do so soon! Keeping it as simple as possible, the larger ratio (vs the factory 1.6) will slightly increase the valve lift...

    Swapping a 2000 5.9 gas from a 2000 R/T to a 2001 5.9 QCSB?

    I THINK that the R/T engines have 2.02 intake valves on the cylinder heads vs the standard 1.92 valves. They both use the same intake manifold, which bottlenecks even the standard engines, so I can't imagine the larger valves would help much. I'm lesser certain, but the R/T engines might have a...

    Torque converter locking/unlocking?

    So, it's been quite a while since I posted this, but a bit of a follow up. I replaced the TPS with an NTK, and the issue has not resurfaced. The engine also seems ever so slightly smoother to accelerate from a stop, although it's small enough that it could just as well be attributed to placebo...

    Torque converter locking/unlocking?

    Kind of an odd one that started happening a few weeks ago. At first, I thought it was just me, but it's definitely not. Keeping it simple, when I leave from work and hit the highway, everything's fine, but shortly after the transmission shifts into overdrive, it does what feels like the torque...

    98 ram 1500 4wd with 5.9 check engine light flashes 27 times ....is this the code for bad o2 sensor or cat ?

    Flashing CEL is usually, from what I understand, a severe misfire in at least one cylinder, which causes a bunch of unburned gas to get sent through the exhaust. This can ignite upon hitting the catalytic converter, which will damage it if it happens. I've encountered this twice over the years...

    '99 1500 5.9L - hissing & rough idle a few minutes afer startup - with Video

    I used to have this happen somewhat frequently during cold starts in the morning, especially if it was humid for whatever reason. Like in your case, the idle quality would get choppy during this time. This was also during the time when my intake plenum gasket was shot and the engine was taking...

    Building a 5.2

    The factory Magnum heads will support 400 horsepower, but that's pretty much the ceiling. Factory "kegger" is fantastic for low-end torque, but falls off quickly even at mid RPM. It flows about 180 CFM per runner, the factory heads are around 210... Factory cam supports more flow than you'd...

    Assistance with tire pressure

    I currently have 10-ply Duratracs on mine and run 'em at 40 psi. I used to run 45, but it seemed like the center treads were wearing faster than the shoulders, so I backed them down. I aired them up to 50 once and my truck steered like a greased weasel. Of course, my steering components have...

    Driveline noise with light acceleration

    I've actually had a similar noise/rumble for a few years now in mine. Pops thinks it's the torque converter as well, but I'm just not sure. Is there any way to "test" a torque converter?

    Hughes Air Gap Install - WOW!

    Sweet! I've still got mine in the box awaiting install, something that would've probably happened by now had I not gotten backlogged by other stuff immediately after receiving it. Are you running a custom tune or still using the factory one? I'm planning on purchasing a canned tune from Ryan...

    46re trans

    If I were to rebuild the trans myself, I'd think something like these... Monster Transmission heavy-duty torque converter Red Eagle 46re rebuild kit ...along with your aforementioned TransGo shift kit (I'm not familiar with the Sonnax one). Won't be cheap (of course, you could always spend...

    Issue with volume knob

    Okay, first of all, the radio in my truck is kind of a piece of crap. Actually, it's more like . The display illuminates about 1 in 10 times, it spits out any CD I put into it unless I give it a firm tap after inserting it, and then there's the eponymous issue, which is honestly the biggest PITA...

    96 Ram 1500 Misfire Gremlin

    Definitely suspect the plenum gasket. I've been down that road before, replaced all ignition components, checked fuel pressure, cylinder pressure, nothing fixed the problem. Like you, my truck also used to shake horrendously at 40 MPH, which was when the overdrive would kick in. It got so bad I...
