You want to talk to Dave Goerend. By far the best man to go when talking about a Dodge Automatic.
Goerend Transmission Incorporated It's better to call. It will take a while to get ahold of him, because he is very busy (says a lot doesn't it.) By far worth the wait.

For the DennyT fuel pin, go to Denny T Performance | First Gen Dodges and order one.

Daves convertor for teh non-lock up trannys is only $600 or $900 depending on what stall your want.

Also dont forget about a Hughes, They are a large jump from stock and people seem to like them to teh 300-350HP range. I do love my Goerend Convertor though!!!

How do I know I have a lock up or not?

The only thing im doing to the truck is custom 4 gague holder, EGT, Tranny temp, Fuel Psi and boost psi, Denney T stage 2 fuel pin, ASA cold air intake, 4" straight pipe, Upgrade HC1 Housing with 60mm compressor wheel and just some 60hp injectors, that's it.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

What you mean which one did I go with? I ordered it from a custom's shop that one of my other buddy's got his 5" exhuast for his 98.5 cummins.

You dont have a lock up convertor. None of teh 1st gens do.

I didn't know if you bought a pre-made exhaust kit from someone or what.

you cant get a 4 gauge pillar pod for the 1st gens, you cant even get a 3 gauge, you can get a 2 and a 1 and if your truck has the square steering column a single column pod from a 2nd gen truck will work.....i got a 2, 1, and a steering column pod for my 93 dually.....ill be running fuel pressure, tranny temp, boost/pyrometer combo gauge, tachometer.....

RSWORDS,
Your description mentions that you have a 4" turbo back exhaust on your '89 white competition truck. I've been looking for a 4'' tubo back exhaust, but all I can find is 4'' exhausts with a 3'' down pipe. Can you help find some info on that, if they still make them? Also I want to get a fuel pin for my truck. Is the DennyT Stage II Fuel Pin better than the Bullydog pin? My truck is a '91 W250, intercooled, auto OD, stock. I want to do some mild tweeking on it. Do I need to get bigger nozles before I can instal a fuel pin? Or will a fuel pin and a larger exhaust be enough for the time being? Also, with the stock turbo, and a fuel pin, will I have to worry about high EGT? Thank you for any info you can give me.
