hey guys im looking at buying a diesel but on a low budget. im pretty set on a 12 valve. any info on pros and cons and easy upgrades for the first gen cummins would be appreciated

 

All pro's, no cons on the 12 valve

 

I would not trade mine for the world I love it. Cheap and easy to mod also.

 

how abou mileage the first gens what do you guys get with what setup?

 

I get around 20 locally with the mods in my sig if I am nice to it

 

id like to see some pics of your truck onemoparnut

 

You are right about the 12v Good engine easy to turn up............But the pickup is another story... this is the case where the engine makes the pickup

I was just poking you...........I THINK

 

Don't bet on it cowboy:
That's an old wive's tale started by somebody who didn't know how to change a light bulb.

My 91.5 is in better shape than when it left the factory. And I'm not talking about the engine, either. Everything works, power windows, heater, AC, etc. Probably has the same R12 in there it left the factory with. Once you address a few minor electrical issues they are as good as anything out there, including the new trucks.

When I need an exceptionally high degree of confidence in getting where I'm going, I take the 1st Gen.

 

If you are a member at dieseltruckresource.com there are a few pics on there. I dont have any to post right now. Just go there and search my name you will find a few.

 

Here is one I found.
