New 1993 12 v single cab short bed dually need advice
 
So I just bought a 93 12v single cab short bed dually 268000 5 speed spicer rear end $2100 cash money. It pulls just as hard as my bros 2003 auto dually on 22.5s and his 1998.0 dually 12v. The guy I bought it off of (ex army sniper) said it was straight piped pump turned up but he didn't say exactly what they did and it has a k&n. I'm gona use it for towing a 16 ft cargo trailer full of appliances maybe 6000 lbs at most. I do live in pueblo Colorado and I have to go through the mountains occasionaly so high altitude is a factor over 5000 feet here. The first thing I plan on doing is check for killer dowel pin, 2nd gauges 3rd dennyt fuell pin turn star wheel adjust smoke screw ;-) I do want this truck reliable over horse power because I'll be lifting my 78 bronco durring this summer and this will be my work truck. some advice would be helpful cause this is my first cummins but I'm not oblivious to the scene ive been reading diesel magazines for a few years now. Also I will post pics

you've got it pretty well covered there. You could consider a rear end temp and trans temp. Oil pressure maybe.
