1997 engine good for power?
 

I am buying a new truck and I found a 1997 that is exactly what i want but i wanted to make sure i would be able to get good power out of it. :humm:

What kind of power are you talking? You can get power but it's not cheap.

Its going to be my everyday driver but I'm thinking for good pulling power hauling heavy loads and the occasional truck pull

I wouldn't do much more then stage 1s

Cool, so its deffinately a sturdy engine though

Definitely. Just take care of it and they'll run forever.

In my eyes best truck to build power out of. You can

All the diesel preformance guys told me 1200 go with headaches mainstuds and girtle
