Default my first diesel!!! finally

Hi guys I just bought my first diesel and am very green to all of this I have been boggin for years but was finally able to save up and got a

98 2500 24v

It has a
-southbend Clutch
-62mm Turbo
-125 or 150 edge jammer injectors (Guy I bought it from forgot which ones he has 3 other Cummings)
-edge comp 1-5 settings
-smarty S-03 1-8 settings
-ladder bars
-holly auxiliary pump

I am very new to this so have any of you had this programer stack? My exhaust temps are about 7 at 60mph. But when I go to pass they jump right to 10-12 how can I keep my temps down is that normal? Any good preventative maintenance I can do any info would be greatly appreciated

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

I have Smarty set on 4 and edge on 1x1 for daily driving

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

What is normal amount of boost for 62mm Turbo.

to keep you egts down, i would get a water methanol injection kit. snow performance makes a good kit but there are different ones out there.

1000-1200 while passing is just fine. Exceeding 1350-1400 is getting into danger.

A 62 with the fuel to spool it should get into 45-50 psi range. Boost psi all depends on fuel and restriction of air flow.

In case you didn't already know, don't run your smarty on the odd number tunes with your edge comp.

Ignore those that get pissy about spelling Cummins with a g in it. Most the time they have a half dozen spelling errors in their post harassing you.

Lots of good information on here. Use the search bar on the top and off you can't find what your looking for, just ask.

Sounds like a good deal. Jammers are hit and miss. They are known for being hot and Smokey.
