Default Hi everyone

I am your typical red blooded american motorhead. I like horsepower, going fast, playin in the mud, and getting out in the great outdoors whenever possible. Would have to say that next to big power and the ability to go anywhere I want, that hunting and fishing are my two favorite activities.

As far as my rig goes I have several, but only one that is diesel powered. It is a 1999 dodge ram 2500 with the 5.9l 24v cummins for the power plant. Havent done much to it, but here goes. I have had the 4 inch dia turbo back magnaflow system (all stainless version) installed. Then I was not pleased with the fuel economy and was having some power loss, So in went the 40 hp over stock marine injectors. Am very pleased with the result power wise. I haven't had time to drive it enough to tell how the mileage is going to turn out but I have high hopes.

I have plans to make many more upgrades and mods in the very near future, the obvious first on the list is to replace lp with aftermarket version as well as installing a full complement of guages. After that, probably exaust brake and tranny upgrades for the stocker auto that is in it now.

Am looking forward to sharing the results and pick your guy's minds when needed.



Keep on truckin!! Big Steve

Gauges should be at the top of your list, mainly the fuel pressure gauge...
