24v vs. 12v info????
#19
my neighbor is a mechanic and i bought my 24V and he wont stop nagging me to buy a F.A.S.S pump, not the whole system, he claims its the best thing you can do to a 24V before and other mods. as far a 12V and 24V i love my 24V, my friend has a 97 12V and he loves it they are both great motors in my opinion, the only thing i dislike about the 24V is the electronical stuff, im a fan of mehanical.....all though mine has more power than his.....but u cant go wrong with a cummins!

[QUOTE=duallydave]also do the code check thing when you test drive it,get in turn the key on and off 3 times and on the third time leave it on and some codes will show up in the odometer.write them down and post them here,if you get a 0216{i think}its bad,injection pump time..[/QUO
Sorry for the hyjack, I just did this and all I got was: P PCU, P done, P ECU, P done. Does that just mean it scanned the PCU and the ECU, and all is good?
Thanks for the info.

Also, in the auto's, they respond and behave MUCH better because of the additional inputs to the PCM.. 3-4 locked shifts, Shift points better adjusted, etc.
But, electronics don't really scare me, so I don't fear the 24v, and I'm not looking for 900hp.

So lots and lots of options. I'm using a relocated OEM pump with good results so far. The important thing is a fuel pressure guage, so you can see if there is a problem with the lift pump.
As an example- Jegs sells a kit for $238 that includes pump, relocation bracket, banjo bolts, and lines. Add a FP guage and you're set, but you might want some other guages while you're at it Bombing can be addictive =P

If your gonna run your truck stock, bone stock. The factory LP is fine. Its the big fueling boxes and guys the don't change out your fuel filter that give the second gen 24v motor a bad rap. The 12v are sweet, luv and you hate them. I find that the 24v, when running right its a better driver. Yes there are some tweaked hard running 12v, even those guys have pump issues. A 12v typically gets better fuel mileage. The good thing is both motors are bullet proof. If your gonna buy a 24v check for fuel filter for condition and if the truck has a box put on it. Get a fuel pressure reading. If its lower than 12psi at idle, I wouldn't buy it. I found that if my stock LP pump couldn't fuel my truck at wot with less than that. Guys have code scanner that could clear codes if its a problem truck. So the key trick might not be so acturate. The 24v might even still have warranty left in it. I hate to scare any one into not buying a cummin's as it the best motor that has every been installed into a pick-up. Even if you loss a pump (injector or lift pump), is 1-3 hrs with common hand tools your back running. Parts are getting cheap as the each year clicks by. Good luck hunting...
