95' mods / 96' Stalling
First off I stumbled upon this site tonight, I immediately loved the site and appreciate everything you guys do here.
I am brand new to diesels, but i have grown up working on anything with an engine. I do have a some certifications it state automotive (Engine, Brakes, Suspension, High Performance Engines). Remember I am just a young one yet, 22 years of age. I recently fell in love with the power of diesel engines at work, I work in my uncles junkyard running the equipment.
The work truck is a 1995 Dodge 2500 4x4 (12v, 5sp), this is our yard truck... It does all the heavy hauling around the shop and carries tools / torch's. We have decided to turn this truck into a project, We were aiming towards a street legal pull truck. What budget oriented things can we do to make it perform?
The New long haul truck is 1996 Dodge 3500 4x4 1ton Dually (12v, auto), This truck I just put a 4in. stainless straight out the back. The Truck will not start unless there is a little throttle applied, The truck also tends to stall when it is put into drive or reverse (Remember this is an Auto).
p.s. The reasoning behind me loving diesels now is, I hauled a little over 34ton with the 95' 5sd. not even realizing it until weighed.
Love the site

most 12v will need a little throttle to start it up and then it ususally runs fine... i give mine about 1/4 throttle and it starts running. as for the stalling part i dont know for sure since i have a standard... but i would have to agree with the above post... sounds like the idle is a little low.

I used to be a shop porter over at a Dodge Dealership back in '91-'95 (parked and returned cars from the repair parking lot, to the front desk for customers) and every cummins I drove back then (probably, well into the thousands), never required any throttle to start.
