ok guys my buddy is going to pick up a dually reg cab 12V this week. I want to know what he should do to make a reliable sled puller/towing machine. He wants to keep it a single turbo. I was thinking 4 or 5k gsks, a custom fuel plate grind, about a 10 or so, a set of injectors and some turns on the the ol smoke screw. Any other ideas or is that a pretty good start? I dont think he wants to dump a lot of money into a turbo yet though.

 

check out the stickys for afc tuning and pump tuning, but yes 4k gsk 60lb valve springs, fuel plate, injectors and maby some dvs. also a phat shaft 62 or 64 wouldnt hurt

 

trans mods?

also if he plans on sled pulling be ready to start breaking things

 

Uh, I really hope that the #1 and #2 mods on his list (in order) are KDP and GAUGES!!!

Just sayin...

 

nice truck dude

hey man i dont mean to bother you but what truck do you recomed for a first time diesel buyer that wants to do truck pulls. o and im on a budjet

 

ex cab long bed 5 speed 12 valve 4x4

 

Patience and a lot of extra jack.

 

on the question of trans mods. I dont actually know what it is. I think he said its a manual but I am not for sure. So probably a better clutch. and gauges are a definite and kdp will prolly be one of the first things to have checked out. I need to find out what exactly there is done to it and what year it is to find out what dvs it has in it and little stuff like that.

 

what is the KDP i've heard some things about and but never really looked into it?

 

its the pin used to line up the timing case, it will eventually fall out over time.

do a quick search and you will find tons of info about it
