New guy with Cummins Diesel questions
So I am lookin' into getting a Diesel I've put together 2 pretty cool Z71s, but I'm bored with my GMC and I've always liked diesel trucks, but dunno a whole lot about them. I wanna go with a single cab, long bed 4x4 Dodge w/ a manual transmission. Since I can't afford somethin fairly new, I'm gonna go with a 94-98 12- Valve. What kind of performance upgrades are there for these trucks? I know I'll be putting a aftermarket clutch in it immediately when I get one, which is the best I just want imput on what I can do to build somethin pretty cool, so ANY information is appriciated greatly!

Everything is available for these trucks. Anything from turbos, delivery valves, injectors, all the way up to 16mm P7100 injection pumps. Granted that last one is pretty much for sled pullers only, it is available. Mild to wild and everything in between, you can make it what ever you like.

I agree with both these guys. You picked an excellent candidate for a first diesel truck.
As far as power goes, you can 140-150 hp in just an hour with ZERO money invested on these P7100 12v's. Then injectors, and delivery valves, and a GSK kit, and turbos, and head studs, and the list goes on and on

but if you're lookin for quick power, the 215 is the way to go (96-98 12v's with a manual tranny)

94-95 auto 160hp
94-95 manual 175hp
96-98 auto 180hp
96-98 manual 215hp
I believe the difference between each pump rating is injector pump cam, deliver valves, and the retarding notch on the 215 pump's plungers. Also each high hp rating has slightly bigger injectors.
