Might buy a 1995 ram 2500 with the 12v cummins. I have exuast, wheeels and tires for it, but what are some good first upgrades to do to it that won't break the bank?

 

grind your plate to a #100 or #0, everything in my signature was free... and it rolled 341,8hp on the dyno !

the exhaust was there when i got it, so i guess you'll be near to equal to me, except mine came with a 230 pump since it's a EURO Cummins

is it a Manual or Auto ?

let's not forget, if you like a whistle from your Turbo... remove the silencer ring and baffle between your fender and airbox

 

it is an auto

 

dont do to much u will be replacing you tranny

 

what tranny is behind it?

 

 

i had a 160 pump on my truck when i first put the 12v, i laid down 150hp and put a 0 plate in, it laid down 280hp for nothing. but ur stock auto wont hold 280hp, with out a good TC (torue converter)

another free mod u can do would be a TC lock up switch.

 

First check your KDP and do it if it's not done, Won't make any more power but it may save you from major engine damage

 

yea tranny work is definitely needed if you want to put a plate in might not need it right away but i burned my stock tc up in a matter of months with just a 100 plate

 

stock juiced up tranny and 600 hp TC is the way to go i just took my fuel plate out tonight and turned my star wheel way up and there is already a difference

but your first two things should be tranny and tc and go from there
