Thanks for your help everyone, I have a good understanding of this now.
I'm hoping to get this wrapped up next week. I'll have a few more questions I'm sure.
I did sell my 24 valve alternator to the guy that bought the vp44 but I have another alternator from a gas 1500 and it has the same plugs as the 24valve.
I called autozone and they said there were two made for the gas trucks.
One is a 135 amp and one is a 117 amp. where the cummins has a 125 amp and a 135 amp. We could not figure out which one this alternator is but I have to think it is the 135 amp due to the plugs being the same.
Not sure of that though.
So If I use it and it turns out only 117 amp then what is the worse that can happen?
I take it that I should use the 24 valve TCM since we are trying to fool it into thinking it is a 24 valve motor.
Correct?
What are you going to use the intake air sensor for?
Kleann how far are you on your build?
- Your coolant temp sensor on the 12V is driver side very rear of the head close to the fire wall.
- Heater grid.
- I relocated my oil pressure sensor to the pipe plug on the top of the oil filter head. Just a lot easier to get to.
- Crank sensor for the 24V reads off a 36-1 tone wheel. Reference my pic. My tach works great.
I don't know if it will work if you change the plugs on the wiring harness and try to use the 12V sensors.
Actually since I have a auto trans I probably don't need that tack that bad.
