I'm new to the diesel scene and I was wondering what mods are good for a 1992 (1st gen) cummins diesel.

3200 governor spring?
fuel pin?
turn up the fuel screw?

or is that not the best for towing?

 

Hey Bud, Welcome to the site. I moved your post in here to the tech area's because it's where your gonna get your best answers to this specific question.

 

Gauges
4" exhaust
366 spring
DennyT cone
Low pressure piston lift pump
370 injectors
Super HX40
Pump tuning

That is a very good towing setup. George Peterson runs that in his 1st Gen when he tows. If you have an automatic, a good converter is definitely needed though.

Edit: I forgot a few things

A set of Coolertubz would also help cool EGT's.
Ang like 91 12valve said, a better air filter, or BHAF would also do you good.

 

open air filter or cold air is it a manuel or automatic the automatics are not the best in the world

sorry it's an automatic

 

If it's an auto, at the very least get a converter. I recommend Dave Goerend, but there are others out there as well.

But, since the thread is asking about a towing setup, I will recommend you have Dave build you a 47rh. Our transmissions don't have lockup, which is kind of a pain. Converting to a lockup tranny, would be better in every way, they your current one. That or a 5spd.

 

A 47RH? What truck is that out of?

If I were to go with a manual trans what would be the better choice?

Thanks for all the help

Anyone have an opinion on this transmission setup?

Dodge A518/618 47/48 RH/RE "BadBoy" for CUMMINS

 

A 47rh would be found in either a '94 or '95 Dodge Cummins. A '96 would have and up, would have electrically controlled transmissions, and you don't want that.

If I were going to convert to a manual, it would be an NV4500. The only problem they have, is with the 5th gear nut, but that is an easy fix, especially for a conversion. There are also numerous parts available for it.

If you want a 6 speed, you could swap either an NV5600, or G56 in, but both would be much more expensive, and the NV4500 has proven to be a more reliable tranny.

I don't know about that "BadBoy" tranny. Never heard of it. If I were going to have someone touch my Dodge transmission, it would be either Dave Goerend or Cousin Billy. And since Cousin Billy is a local guy (who just happens to use Goerend parts) Dave would be the way to go for you.

 

Interesting, never seen those guys before.
