Free Power Upgrades
hey, im new to the site, my dad bought a 1995 3500 2wd extended cab dualie with a cummins in it, 3.55 gears and limited slip. it runs great and is just broken in with 172 K on the ticker. i was wonderin what free mods there are to get some more power out of it, ive heard of adjusting the injection pump, could someone explain how to do this? im going to make a straight 4" exhaust with dynomax's tail pipe section. thanks for the help, seems like a great site.

DON'T SLIDE THE PLATE FORWARD !!!!!! You need guages FIRST ... sliding the plate is bad news unless you are monitoring your EGT's !!!!!!!!!

<br><br>4 in. pipes are great but unnessary untill about 325-350 HP. :
<br>You could just lose youe muffler anf cat alot cheaper and will do the trick untill the BOMBING bug really gets you and you spend big bucks. ;D<br><br>Good Luck<br><br> : Eddie : 8)
