Hey guys, got a 97 ram 2500 with the old cummins oil burner...

The truck is just another play toy (definately no daily driver street rig)and i want to get this thing to roll out the smoke. Im not talking a little hoot of smoke when you stomp the loud pedal, im talking about blowing clouds of BLACK smoke that block out the sun for 30min!

Also looking to have a little power behind all that smoke...

I dont think anything looks better than an oil oil burner stopped, spooling the turbo(s) and pouring out clouds of smoke as it takes off like a f'n rocket!

What do you figure is required for such an occasion?

 

First off welcome to the site

There will be some cummins fellas who will be able to help you out with that pretty soon.

you could take a look at this hopefully this will help out some.

all you really need is a set a fuel plate to get the smoke also to kive it that kick get a set of performance injectors, fuel plate, governor spring and a turbo and you will be set

 

Throw out the fuel plate and gut the afc and she will smoke. Also make sure it has a good fresh fuel filter in it. I dont suggest doing this without at least a egt guage.

 

cranked the starwheel all the way forward and moved the fuel plate about 3/4 of the way forward and it really woke up the truck!

Dont have my gauges on right now so i dont want to slide the plate all the way forward just yet!

Anyone know how much HP a 215 pump would be pushing with the stock plate all the way forward?

 

if you just purchase a cut fuel plate like a #5 like mine you will boost the power up quite a bit also i just put in my #5 fuel plate friday at 1/4 and it leaves a smoke trail the length of a freeway on-ramp

 

Once i get the pyro in ill be grinding the plate myself, why pay a couple hundred bucks for something i can do in 5min and cost nothing?


Anyone know if these things will run pretty hot with the stock plate all the way forward? I want to try sliding it all the way but ill wait for the gauges if its known to be hot like that.

 

This may Help

no you wont get that hot with a stock plate

 

I think that would be a wise move. Why chance it?


BTW, welcome to the site Dave.
