can you guys tell me the best wat to get some help

 

best way i've found is to just start looking and searching through threads for different questions and mods. thats how i've figured out lots of problems over time, takes awhile but things you stumble on will make it worth it.

 

thanks I have spent a gtear deal of time doing that what I meant was how to get others to anser

 

First off, many of us don't cruise the forum all day long, it will take some time for people to read your questions.

Next, try and be as specific as you can, simply saying how do I turn up my truck is not enough information to help you, this is probably the BEST forum I have ever seen for getting information out, but we need some input from the person asking the question, and some assurance that person has made use of the search function, especially for rudimentary questions such as maintenance and power upgrades.

 

what I was trying to find is the very firts place to start, more air?and if you don't know much more than the book tells what are some things that MUST be cheked or replaced other than the k.dp. but things like that. I have a new son and want to do all I can to take care of this truck I am most thankful for any help.befor seeing this site I had no idea what the cummins could realy do

Well, the VERY first place to start is with a quality set of gauges. EGT, Boost and Fuel pressure are the Mins. I would have.

After that, look at the sticky at the top of our 12 Valve forum and there is a pretty good cross section of information. You don't have to spend too much money to get a serious performer...........

 

Are the gauges hard to instal or should they be done at a shop?

 

Here again, what is your level of mechanical ability?

Gauges are a chip shot for me, they might well befuddle you.

 

I use to try the search on the forums, you get many back that have nothing to do with what I ask for, now I do a Google search for the same question and get better responses
