I recently bought a 1992 dodge w250 5.9 cummins 5spd ext cab long box power everything. Body isnt bad needs fenders i got everything else. 130k on motor runs like a top clutch is wore out a lil. I want to know what i should b checking or looking for with problems or anything i can delete off of it or replace. Ive had diesels before but not this old of one

 

Read the stickys

There's not much you can or would need to delete on these things.

 

ok well thats a bonus whats a couple good things to do to the truck for better performance or running for that matter.

 

First things first, is filters replace them, when you replace the air filter go to a BHAF for more air flow in then straight pipe it or go to a 4' exhaust, then you can do free mods on the pump then go from there.

 

Kinda what i had in mind i had an 08 dodge 6.7 but the older ones r a lil diff Thanks man i appreciate it any hood sites to find all this And also i was reading some stickys r the 5spd manual trans weak in these trucks?

 

The G360 getrag is not a bad trans it has some issues 5th gear nut for one. Put a good clutch in it and overfill it with the correct oil and ill live pretty well. As far as doing more first id look at doing the kpd and fixing any leaks you have. Then GAUGES! before you mess with the pump

Uh the 5th gear nut problem is a nv4500 problem not getrags. Don't lug the tranny and yes overfill it like stated above n it will live a long happy life. I'm only pushing 194k km on mine but it's holding my mods just fine.

Ummm mainly just google cummins bhaf. I have a fram part number for one if you want, I dunno if you like frame or not. Ummmm for the exhaust I'd get a hold of TVdiesel they have it cheap and free shipping n people love the kit.

 

to DB!

 

Alot of good ideas guys i appreciate it n thanks for all ur help
