Glad to see ya join up. Theres a lot of good info hidden in these threads, take some time and read through them. It will save you a ton of money by doing it now instead of later.

To answer the original question, you can run any Chip with your stock injectors, you just won't get the full affect of it. But as mentioned before, before you start crankin the HP, fix the things that are gonna be broke by doing it. Before anything else is done you need the Fuel Pressure Guage and an aftermarket high flow lift pump and larger fuel lines. The lift pump and larger fuel lines are what it's gonna take to keep enough fuel flowing to supply that chip without overheating the Injector pump. The stock system won't do it. If you have an automatic, you will also need to start thinking about the upgrade to it. As a stock unit it will not handle the full affect of even a mild chip for very long. If it is the NV4500 5 speed tranny, well at some point you will also need to upgrade it but it will hold better then the auto.

Better fuel supply and Fuel pressure guage, first things though.

 

is this an auto or manual??

 

its an auto...i meant what is the best brand for fuel systems...what chip works best with the 98 24v trucks? and what is the best way to build up my stock auto tranny? i come from a part of texas where diesels are real popular and off road trucks r popular but people tend to follow fads without knowing wut they're doing...and i want to understand my truck...so pretty much everyone runs banks and edge...so i really only know the basics and what goes in the pages of the diesel magazines...so any information ya'll can give is appreciated...

 

Get the biggest baddest Torque Converter And put a TFOD TransGo Shift Kit in it Adjust the bands and consider the tranny done , I would go for a TST box you can always stack to it later , And Get a FASS Fuel System , Then Get some 100HP Sticks then look at a superB charger ........

 

woah woah woah wut r sticks and by charger u mean turbo charger right?

 

Sticks = Injectors
Charger = Turbo Charger

Yep

 

A lot of picking the right chip has to do with what you want to do with your truck. The Comp and TST are both high end torque, meaning speed. The Smarty works primarily in the low end torque ranges, pulling power. The advantage of the Comp and TST is that they both stack well with the Smarty, then you can have the best of both worlds.

Banks . He does make some nice stuff but way overpriced for what your getting. With Banks you payin for the commercial advertising and the name that comes with all the advertising. Banks could probably be defined as the founder of this high performance diesel equipment, but he has since been overtaken in quality and affordability. Just my opinion, I'm sure there will be opposing opinions to follow.

On the fuel system DeiselMinded is exactly right, FASS is the best on the market. Hope you got some deep pockets, cause they're gettin ready to be stretch tested. Welcome to the wonderful world of truck poor.

 

 

Everyone has pretty much covered it. I run a Wicked Diesel Performer fuel system and love it. Very quite unlike the Fass and does what I need it to do. How many miles are on the truck? What has it been used for? If it has over 100k I would just save for a new trans. I've seen several install convertors and VB in there trans and they die. There are also those guys that install them at 150K and there trucks are awesome. It is kind of a shot in the dark with auto's. I had one and went 5 speed.

its got over 100k and we used it as a daily driven farm truck...we pull everything from rice planters to cattle trailers...the tranny is pretty worn down...i planned to save up for a replacement ats tranny...the tst powermax works well with the smarty?
