New Member, I appreciate any help I can get
Hi.
I am putting a 1986 chevy 1-ton crew cab dually together for pulling a travel trailer. I was going to put in a Cadillac 500 cu. in. engine, but I've changed my mind and I'm going to install a 5.9L Cummins. I think, even though diesel is more expensive than gas, that I will save more on fuel and have better pulling power. I've had 3 people tell me that they think I would be best using a 1992-1993 cummins for my application. I'm not looking to out run the next guy, and don't need to go up passes 80 miles an hour. I just want something that will be decent in fuel mileage and get me up the passes faster that 25-30 miles an hour. I appreciate everyones help. And, hopefully I may be helpful to some of you along the way. Thank you. |
First off welcome to DB...
Now i would say use a 94-97 12 valve cummins, its got a little more power and the fuel delivery system is alot better IMO, or you could go crazy and put a Common Rail out of 03-07 trucks that will be a tad bit harder but it would run awesome:pca1: |
:hi: Take a look around and enjoy the site.. :c:
Good Luck with your project...:U::U: |

2. use what ever 12v you can get your hands on but I would make sure its and innercooled one..I just like those better 91.5 and up. for what you want any 12v mildly tuned will keep you smilling all the way past diesel stations HAHAHA |
