I'm new to the diesel scene and I was wondering what mods are good for a 1992 (1st gen) cummins diesel.

3200 governor spring?
fuel pin?
turn up the fuel screw?

or is that not the best for towing?

That is a very good towing setup. George Peterson runs that in his 1st Gen when he tows. If you have an automatic, a good converter is definitely needed though.

Edit: I forgot a few things

A set of Coolertubz would also help cool EGT's.
Ang like 91 12valve said, a better air filter, or BHAF would also do you good.

sorry it's an automatic

If it's an auto, at the very least get a converter. I recommend Dave Goerend, but there are others out there as well.

But, since the thread is asking about a towing setup, I will recommend you have Dave build you a 47rh. Our transmissions don't have lockup, which is kind of a pain. Converting to a lockup tranny, would be better in every way, they your current one. That or a 5spd.

A 47RH? What truck is that out of?

If I were to go with a manual trans what would be the better choice?

Thanks for all the help

Anyone have an opinion on this transmission setup?

Dodge A518/618 47/48 RH/RE "BadBoy" for CUMMINS

A 47rh would be found in either a '94 or '95 Dodge Cummins. A '96 would have and up, would have electrically controlled transmissions, and you don't want that.

If I were going to convert to a manual, it would be an NV4500. The only problem they have, is with the 5th gear nut, but that is an easy fix, especially for a conversion. There are also numerous parts available for it.

If you want a 6 speed, you could swap either an NV5600, or G56 in, but both would be much more expensive, and the NV4500 has proven to be a more reliable tranny.

I don't know about that "BadBoy" tranny. Never heard of it. If I were going to have someone touch my Dodge transmission, it would be either Dave Goerend or Cousin Billy. And since Cousin Billy is a local guy (who just happens to use Goerend parts) Dave would be the way to go for you.

Interesting, never seen those guys before.
