Whats goin on? Well got a few questions and im fairly new to to the diesel bombing.im buildingan 04.5 2500 2wd Cummins so far the list is no. 1 is sleeved .20 over on all and decked, a1 studs, ported ex side of the head and manifold silver 66 turbo,120HP injectors,arson 4 and smarty tntr.my question is what should my break in consist of,oil,tuner setings, miles etc.and is there anybody from the Odessa/midland area.o and what kinda rwhp can I look forward to.thanks in advance:rocking:

O and Hamilton 110 springs

What about fuel?

OIL 15w40 of your preference
TUNER I would drive it like I would if it had 100k on it that's just me
RWHP don't have a clue

Fuel? For now I have a Holley black and arson 4 with 120 HP nozzles.any addatives for oil?

Of I was going to put that kinda money into my truck I would defiantly be putting in an air dog or fass or a raptor pump. I have a Holley black and I don't see it supporting the mods you have now. I might be wrong but I know with my setup I pull it down low.

I wouldn't add any additives just run the oil you plan on running from now on.

Defanantly an airdog in the very near future lol and tranny still stock :scare2:.what oil do u recomend,rotela?

I run rotella but this is opening a can of worms about oil. Now there is a guy on here with a stock truck with 700k on it and still running strong all he had run is rotella roadmedic is his name. But I guess any 15w40 is better than none.

I have personally seen rod bearings out of a truck with 325k that looked new all she ran was delo 400 from first oil change.

Run what you want is what I say I won't knock anyone who takes care of there truck

Ive had good luck in my hotrods with it.and leave the tuner off for break in,and how many miles should it take

I don't know what break in would be. Every motor I built I drove it from start like I was going to drive it it's whole life and have had good luck that way. Hopefully someone will chime in on more info for break in

If you have a stock tranny you have no hope running tnt-r yet alone a silver 66 or 120's. You need to get that built asap and also be running a airdog. Also look into fuel pressure and rail pressure gauges

I have autometer rp,boost and egt gauges.considering the amount of cashi have spent tranny will have to come in a month or so if it dont go sooner lol.airdog is a must as well.will a rapter 150 be enough or do i need more? I. Bought this truck in october with a fuel knock and gambled because it was cheap and only drove it a week and no. 1 piston came apart thesame day the new stock injectors went in.

Run a relatively inexpensive oil in it for break in as it's only in there long enough to drain and inspect for signs of anything abnormal. I've heard of guys needing to add zinc for cam break in. Can't see where it couldn't be used for whole engine break in; avoid additives like STP and Lucas for atleast the first service interval. Initial fire the engine should be ran at no load at an elevated rpm for 30 mins or longer. I'd recommend a retorque of the head after initial warm up. Put some miles on it driving conservatively, then drive it like you want it to run. I'd refrain from using the programmer for awhile. hard to really say what is the correct break in proceedure. Alot of it is heresay, but that is just what I would do if this were my truck.

I have a airdog for sale now. Check out the for sale section. It's a great deal.

Thank you for help with breakin persidure so esentually like a gasser but retorque the studs.i used to run rottela just for the zink for the lobes but again that was a gasser. I ask about the tuner because on the size of the injectors Im just worried about the timing during breakin dont wanna wash out a hole prematurly because of it.ill check the dog out.

Airdog is a much better bet then a raptor. More filtration is a must in my mind. Secondly rotella is a good oil for diesels aswell. Depending on where you got your injectors, if they pressure tested them and all and sent you a flow chart, you should be okay. Your best bet is give whoever you bought them from a call and ask them.

They are new Bosch from a local shop here in town.the tips are from Cummins performance parts.do u think my Holley black will hold it till the breakin is over?

Do you have a fuel pressure gauge? what size nozzles do you have?

Not yet just the rail pressure and there cpp 120s.think this combo would be around 700HP?im trying to build something I can grow with but also streetable

Itll take a bit to get 700. I can tell you now my opinion is there is no way that pump will feed those injectors what they need. Second recommendation while there out, I would get them pressure tested to make sure there what they say they are. Lastly, I would look at some other supporting mods before you go and try breaking big numbers. Just my .02

Besides a Trans and posably a cp3 what else would you recomend I get? This is my my first big step with bombing a diesel so im still kinda blind at this point.do u think its a good base for serious street hp?
