Introductions

My name is Mace. I'm a looong time lurker on here. Before here I was active on contributions for Dave Fritz’s site before it disappeared. I’ve been following 2nd gens since they debuted. I bought mine new in 01’ and still rock it! I recently deleted my fb association with 2nd Gen Cummins as it’s not technical enough for me. I thrive on modifications that make our trucks more competitive & mechanically modern. The W-T mods I discovered here and installed sealed the deal to jump ship. I’ve completed some neat modifications on my truck I’m happy to share. Here’s a couple: • Engine side APPS delete (complete electronic pedal - n…

Hello guys! I'm Will - some of y'all might know me as TexasTurbo on the Dodge Cummins Diesel Forum. I guess I should've used the same username, but I liked Texas CTD better.:tease:I'm 15 years old, and our ranch truck is a (bone stock) '98.5 dually, 5spd, 2wd. I'm fascinated with these trucks and the knowledge about these trucks on this website, so I figured I would join. I'm here, just like on the Cummins Forum, to learn all I can about these trucks.I just want to say thank you, Mike, for an awesome website with a wealth of information that has helped me a bunch.

Howdy!! My name is Eileen. But on this site i shall be known as..wettvette! Also, I am Mikes girlfriend. This man is amazing!!! He basically recused me!. So, I am now out here with him, living the dream!!

Hello to all, I’ve been lurking a while but finally signed up so I can join in on discussions and ask some questions. Bought my ‘01 2500 new in the spring of 2000, and have only put 89K on it. Thankfully I didn’t have to drive it to work, so that’s why the miles are low. The engine is bone stock, but I’ve started procuring a few items to coax a few more ponies out of it. None have been installed yet. Gauges are probably going on this weekend. Would like to target the 425-475hp range, and I’m looking forward to soliciting your ideas for how to best go about hitting that goal. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Hello all, My name is John Browne and I'm from Rimbey Alberta Canada. I'm 39 for a few more days and just bought my first diesel truck a week ago. It's a 2001 Ram 2500 4x4 Quad cab long box with a auto trans. I know the two previous owners, it has high mileage at 438,000kms but runs really nice and burns no oil. The inj pump and lift pump were done a 360,000kms so that makes me feel a little better. I got it to pull the new 27 foot Puma holiday trailer we got in Jan, so I want to do just a couple mods to it for a bit more power and fuel economy. I don't know how accurate the overhead consule is but it reads around 22mpg at 100km/hr. Best part was the price, $3500 and it's…

Hey Guys, Deric (deej) Kettel here. I own a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 4X4 with the 5.9 diesel in it. I bought it back in 2001 and absolutely still love the truck. As a member, moderator and admin on a popular Kawasaki site, it feels weird starting at the bottom again on a new site but I read some of the posts related to a problem I am experiencing and have experienced as far back as 2004 I really appreciated the cooperation I read in all of the responses here. It really sounds like you have a bunch of good guys that are willing to spend the time helping each other out. I'll post in the appropriate forum on my Transmission hunting/locking and unlocking issue, but for now;' …

Hi Forum!Just joined this morning. Been reading as much as I can - had to replace the evaporator coil and heater core and was ignorant of A/C (obviously did not grow up here in Texas). Read as much as I could find on the internet, wound up here, seems like a great place to be.Just got the truck running. Starts, cools, heats, but it has been raining all morning and too muddy by the barn to back it out, I'll get it stuck.Thanks for letting me join and read. I hope to be able to contribute some knowledge, but truthfully y'all seem to have more of that than I do.Regards,Andrew

Hello all,Just introducing myself after cruising this site for the last few years. I'm a student of Forest and Range Management at the University of Nevada, Reno. Originally from CA but it's more affordable to come here for school than stay there. I simply love working on, and learning about these awesome vehicles. Also just want to give a shout out to all the great members on this site, I have gleamed quite a bit of knowledge from y'all.

Hello my name is Cory. I live by Madison, Wi.Picked up a 99 cummins project truck a few weeks ago. Has a cracked #53 block. Trying to sort out what I have and figure this thing out. I know foxbody mustangs very well. Have'nt done much with big trucks. Found this site over on cummins forum. Looks like I will learn a ton on here. You have done a great job mopar1973man. I will try not ask alot of questions. Although I cant promise that. Lol.

Hello everyone...this forum is great! Lots of good info and very diesel intelligent people on here. I have done a lot of mods to my regular cab 2nd gen 4x4...my craziest mod was a shortbed conversion. I bought a half ton donor truck and cut both trucks in half. Moved to back of the half ton over to mine and welded her up. I also used the half ton rear springs...had to cut off and weld new perches onto my axle to accept the 2.5" wide half ton springs. Also used the half ton gas tank converted over to diesel. Cut my driveshaft down along with all brake lines and fuel lines...and supported the frame welds with a 3/8" diamond shaped plate welded across both …

finally made it on here! I have a friend on here already who turned me on to you guys if my profile doesn't show it, I have a few Dodge trucks and recently bought an 2004.5 with a pile of miles on it.... little personal info, I don't drink, don't text, don't use Facebook, I am loosing my hair, my trucks are my hobby, my family is my life, my wife is a angel for putting up with me and my hobby, my friends are irreplaceable. I like to joke around cause life is two short. (but, the above is true )

Hello Everyone ! I have used the numerous helpful articles and thread discussions from the site, and finally decided to sign up (mostly on CompD). I purchased my truck from the original owner back in 2012 as for a DD/Camping vehicle but its been retired from DD duty since 2013. The attached photo is my rig setup for my yearly camping trip and hope you enjoy.

Hi, Mike has given me an invite to come over so I thought I would say howdy. If I may be of any help with Smarty or BBi Injector questions please let me know! Thank you! Brian SmartyResource - - - Updated - - - Also, to show off another cool project that Mike has his hands in. www.SmartyResource.net/forum/

New member from FL.I've got a 97' 2500 12v with 96k on the clock. Pretty much stock as far as the motor goes but plenty of things in the works. I'll get some picks up soon.

Mike-I have been following the site for quite a while and decided I might as well participate. I am not very computer literate and am unable to figure out how to donate using my iPhone. Also how do I post photos using same. Remember, very basic explanation. Thanks- Kitt

What's up guys I guess I'll introduce myself. I already posted once but not an intro thread. My names Cory from California. Just bought a 2000 Cummins about a month ago and slowly getting it back together. It was stolen from the po and they messed it up a little bit. First Cummins and diesel I've bought. I needed a tow pig for my project truck. I'll post some pics of both. Here's the yota. Has a Mercedes 5 cyl turbo diesel.

My name is Kerley.I am a retired contractor from California and Nevada.Six years ago my best buddy died. He willed me his 1998.5 Dodge 4x4. I had it shipped from Nevada to Alabama, where we chose to retire. The dodge sat for three years. I did not really need it as I drove my 1990 Dodge Cummins/4x4 which was pretty much bullet proof. Finally I sold the 1990 and put the 1998.5 back into service. First I installed new battries and windshield wipers and serviced it completely. It ran alright but never had much energy. One day we went to town and I needed fuel. Pulled into a BP where they advertised diesel fuel. I pulled up to the diesel pump. When I flipped open the fuel doo…

Hello all, just joined the forum. Saw a lot of interesting stuff here and maybe I'm able to share some too along the way;)Cheers!
