98.5-04 trucks use a 3.5" down pipe then that runs to the muffler, then 4 inch out. 04.5 and up have full 4" all the way

ORIGINAL: eprn1n2

I'm buying a truck and I've settled on the 1998 Dodge cummins. What is more desirable the 12 valve or 24 valve?
12 VALVE!!! =Bullet Proof. Always use diesel rated 15-40 oil, and change it every 5,000 miles. Buy your fuel from a high volume Name Brand Station, change the fuel filter at least every 15,000 miles or when ever you note any reduction in power on a hard pull.

If you get an automatic transmission, up date the torque converter and transmission at a GOOD SHOP THAT KNOWS THE DODGE TRANSMISSIONS.

Sit back and drive it for another 300,000 + miles.
