Hi all, new to Cummins (Dodge), prior Duramax (GM) owner...
Hi there, i just got into possesion a Dodge Ram 250 ram...
Financial crisis in Iceland has come to this, and since i am a dieselhead and want to go for something cheaper to mod, i went with a Cummins
It is originally a SRW, but has been converted into a dually
My plans are to have the bed removed and installing Parlok mud Guards;
Painting the frame Black and installing Stacks...
The truck now has a LA small block 360 in it but my intensions are to have a 12v Cummins w/ 5 speed manual installed in it...
A friend of mine has offered the Cummins to me for a small fee and i am pretty sure that i will swap it in. I'm not sure if it is the VE pump or the newer version, but i will keep you guys informed
Wich is easier to mod, the VE pump version or the one that came in the 1993-1998.5 trucks ?
How many HP can you squeeze from the Cummins 12v, and can the VE pump motor be upgraded to the newer pump with ease ?

Yeah, Iceland is cool..
It's actually starting to get hot here now. We're seeing temps around 13°c today.
what are the advantages of the P-pump on a 24valve?
I know that the injectors on the non-intercooled VE version are more buffed than the ones on the intercooled version, is the intercooled version perharps carrying the P-pump ?
I have a high flowing intercooler (RACING) built for my Duramax wich i intend to use.
How many psi are safe on the stock internals?
What is the weakest link and what precautins should i take for say 400rwhp. ARP studs & MLS gasket essential?
