    99 1500 5.9 has spark and fuel....no start. Stumped

    If you have spark and fuel pressure but its still not starting means that your injectors are not firing, the cam and crank sensor work together to fire the injector. I would swap the ASD relay under the hood with the AC relay to see if that changes anything, then I would look at getting a...

    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    Drove 300 miles over the weekend just to change the fuel pump out in 17 degree weather as the O'rielly parking lot. . . . Yes, I know I didnt lift the bed, dropping the tank was easier with the shell and stuff we had in the bed...

    Torque converter wont unlock when slowing down. . . . Any ideas?

    The TPS is BWD from O'rielly which from what i have read is the same as borg warner, I called the dealer and they had one in town for the low low price of $180! $120 with company account. . . I got the part number from the dealer and will be getting a new MOPAR sensor from Rockauto for $80. ...

    Torque converter wont unlock when slowing down. . . . Any ideas?

    First, I have no codes what so ever. So, my torque converter will lock and unlock just fine when driving, accelerating, coasting, and accelerating it works flawless. However, when I'm cruising along and the TC locks up and then I come to a stop the converter tries to stay locked until it...

    Changed AT fluid, now won't shift

    So have other people used this brand/type (DEX/MERC) of trans fluid in these transmissions with success? I bought MOPAR ATF+4 at the dealer because they price matched plus took an extra 10% off. I was willing to pay the premium to know 100% it is the correct fluid. If you didn't do a...

    Transmission issues... hope someone can help

    My brother in law had a 01 cummins that would drop out of OD occasionally, no lights or over heating. It got progressively worse as time went on. It finally got so bad it would only lock up for a second or 2 and then unlock. We found that these trucks have crappy grounds, and the transmission...

    How many miles to a tank you get?

    98, 5.9, 4x4, 265/75/16 AT tires, 26 gallon tank, 320 miles till its on empty, mixed driving. I get 220 miles from the fist "half" and about 100 miles out of the last "half" of the tank. Check your plenum, check valve, and spark plugs. If you have no issues, check your cat, and muffler. I...

    02 with 5.9l gas dependability

    190K miles on mine so far, it was used as a work truck till 170K that pulled heavy loads before we bought it but it was taken care of. We have done our fair share of hauling with it and it has been pretty good, however! The engine has a bit of a lifter tick at the moment, I run a 10w-30...

    Stroke or not to stroke that is the question

    lol, well I dont think anyone would seriously pursue a patent for a turbo system for a old dodge truck, not exactly the speed crowd thats gobbling up turbo systems. . . I dont know anything about the setup or who he is, just saw the youtube videos and figured they were worth a share. Patent...

    Chipping my 02 Ram 1500 regular cab short box

    Those "chips" might give you a 5hp gain for a week, at which point the factory computer will adjust its parameters to bring the engine back to factory specs. These useless little things trick a sensor or 2 to make your vehicle run a little richer or with a little more timing. If there is...

    Stroke or not to stroke that is the question

    I'm not a diesel guy, never owned one. I do have a turbo 5.7 Camaro that is an absolute blast! Done right the turbo setup will be lag free, and significantly easier on your drive line components than a supercharger or stroker. It can depending on setup increase efficiency under certain...

    Stroke or not to stroke that is the question

    Do you have a plennum leak? I wonder if that is where you started loosing oil, then all that oil could have started gumming up the rings giving you a bad seal now. If you think the motor is toast now I would say, get a garden weed sprayer, (misting kind), fill it with water and carefully...

    Engine Replacement

    Stroke or not to stroke that is the question

    i was debating either stroker, or turbo for my truck. I was originally all for the stroker because I was sure it would be more reliable, but reading up on it that seems to be the opposite. Depending on the amount of stroke I have read on several forums that they only generally last 75k-50k...

    2nd Gen Brake Issue - Weak Pedal

    Did you have the fresh rotors turned, or did you just wipe the oil off and call it good? What brand pads did you purchase? There are different materials for different reasons, some of the ceramic pads have great life with little to no dust at the expense of slightly less stopping ability...

    Exhaust help

    Going straight pipe with no cat will be LOUD, it will also pop and crackle a lot! If you are looking to get a good setup the above is a good recommendation. However if you are on a tighter budget and don’t want to spend $100+ on just a muffler like me I would recommend a Dynomax Super Turbo...

    5.2 magnum turbo

    Sounds like its connected to a line that has a one way valve on it, run a new line to it if you can. Then check for any kinks in the line. Also the gauge should read 0 when its not connected to anything so make sure the gauge is good. No idea on factory pump specs, but when looking for another...

    5.2 magnum turbo

    Under boost you will have crappy brakes, however when you let off the gas pedal the throttle body blade shuts which helps redirect the boost out of the BOV, and because your throttle blade is closed you regain vacuum to your components. On the Camaro I put one-way valves on all my accessory...

    Flowmaster DIY question

    The flowmaster 40 will sound sweet at lower rps's and give you that cool factor for a bit, however in the upper rpm's mine ended up sounding like crap and the drone was atrocious. It turned my long trips into a noisy drony adventure where I couldn't hear me radio, or if I could it sounded bad...

    skips,sputters, stalls at idle, sometimes

    I usually disconnect the positive cable for about 30 seconds and then I let the positive cable sit on the negative terminal and cable to drain the capacitors for about 5 mins. If you simply disconnect it I would say let it set for 30 mins.
