1st Gen low or no buck upgrades
I've been looking around for a one stop post or link but haven't found it. Can anybody link me to info on low or no cost upgrades to the 1st gen? I want to start messing around with my 92 I just bought, been looking at posts about the fuel pin & turning up the fuel screw but I don't know much about it. Somebody's got to have a post out there that lists stuff you can do. I know the obvious stuff like intake & exhaust. All I want to do with the truck is mildly bump it up a little & drive it back & forth to work; won't be building a puller or anything like that. Probably won't be putting in bigger injectors but have been looking at putting on a 2nd gen turbo.

Before you do any fueling upgrades, you need gauges. Is the truck a 5spd or auto?
I wouldn't suggest putting an HX35 on your truck (unless you get if for free) because the stock H1C should have a 54mm comp. wheel and the HX35 has a 58mm comp. wheel, so it isn't much of an upgrade.
I'll see if I can find a link for you.
Another thing you might want to add to your list is the $18 366 spring. It will let the pump fuel all the way to 3200 RPM and I have heard of people almost reaching 4K with the spring. Its a real good upgrade for a 1st Gen.

Turning up the pre 94 Ram diesel injector pump
The HX35 would be an okay upgrade, the turbo is a little better design then the old H1C and it has ALOT better exhaust housing.

Thanks for the great response guys. Excellent link on turning up the pump, that's exactly what I was looking for. I understand what you're saying about the turbo swap, not much of an upgrade. I was considering the MX35 because I can get one for under $100 & I read an article about it in Diesel Power Mag so I was just wondering what y'all thought.
I definitely understand about gauges; I have them on my 3rd gen.
I don't get what you're saying about the 12cm housing vs 21cm housing; is that the exhaust housing?
Yes, it is a 5 sp. truck and will have only minor mods.
