I've just bought a 1989 D250 with 92,000 miles, and it is bone stock. Is there any kind of shift kit available that will shorten the throw on the shifter? Also, is a fuel pin the best place to start to get performance from the engine? I'd like to keep the economy while adding some horsepower, so what pin might be best for that? And finally, is there an intercooler kit available aftermarket for these early non-intercooled models? Many thanks.

 

first get guages!seriously.Start with the free pump mods.Youll be more then happy.Ive got a 200hp 4bt and i dont need anymore power,trust me!Max the afc and a few turns on the full load and bam!pick it up a notch.

 

This is my third Dodge Ram with the Cummins diesel, but I've never done any modifications to any of them. If you don't mind, could you be a bit more specific about the specific modifications to the pump, along with locations of the screws, etc. Thanks.

look at the top of the first gen section its a sticky. i dont remember if its under the normal section or under the aftermarket first gen section at the top of the page but there is a sticky with how your pump works and how to mod it

 

Type in Bosch VE pump into youtube.com and there is some vids that will give you a set-by-step how to.

 

but don't sweat it dude its really easy for the most part, and i'm pritty sure you can make more then 200hp, with out a problem on a 6bt, look at some of the guys sigs

 

the M2 would work best for your set up.

 

i haven't been able to finde any sort of short throw shifter for our trucks.....other then swaping in an NV4500 and getting a short throw for that but once you drive for a wile it wont be long before your chirping fourth
