like said before you are comparing it to a new truck and truck with mods. i felt the same way when i got my 96 12v and i was use to drive my dads 06 cummins. when i got my truck it was all stock and there is a nice hill by my house and you can't get a running start and i couldn't even get out of third gear it was like driving a ford ranger. know with my mods on the same hill i can hit fifth gear 3/4 way up with a load behind it.

 

I would also consider looking at some of people who tune these trucks, Canned ts tunes are good, but having Bill at PHP, Tony Wildman, or Swamps tune it it will probably be a bit better. You can save your self money by going through them now, other than buying a ts and then paying for reburns later. Them are just a few of the tuners out there there are many more. Just something to think about

 

add air intake,straight pipe,chip,bigger turbo and some injectors.it should pull fine with those muds

 

already have the air intake, straight pipe and newer injectors. Im gonna go with the ts chip and see what it does

 

Do yourself a faver and do not get the chip from TS... Go with Phill at Power hungry performance.... He has the TS style chip.. But his tunes would be twice as good as the TS tunes... Is it a Auto tranny???? if so then yes it would be a gutless pig...

Your HPOP might be weak to.. That will make them feel like a pig. And you will lose a lot of low end torque with a weak HPOP...

I just saw you said newer injectors are they stock???

PS: my 97 Powerstroke will blow the doors of my friends 99 cummins...

I am just messing with you

 

yes they are stock injectors and is there a way to test the hpop or if it is bad what do i go with??? also yes its a rebuilt auto tranny.But i did find another cummins i might be looking into as well and might use that one for my pulling truck and use the ferd for snowplowing

 

Your HPOP is more than likely fine..

 

ok thanks

 

you HPOP is most likly good.. But could be weak... To test them you would need a HPOP gauge Isspro kakes a nice one... As for a replacement... Adrenaline HPOP from Dieselsite are realy good... They flow more Oil then a stock pump and higher PSI to...

 

As much as a HPO gauge is cool, it is not a good tool to gauge how good or bad a HPOP is working.

Pressure is only part of the equation, duty cycle and PW is also important.

What you really need is a good diagnostic tool, like Autoenginuity.
