Did someone says "95' Cummins"???????????

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....what to do, what to do.

Here's your first lesson for today:

1. Your engine is all mechanical. Mechanical lift (fuel)pump, mechanical injector pump (Bosch P7100), and mechanical injectors. Being all mechanical makes you a true warrior in the quest for power.

2. Your motor is highly regarded by those in the diesel community.

3. Some of those who drive Rams in the "electronic" way of life, are quite jealous of us 12 valvers. (said jokingly, but it's a valid statement none the less)


If the truck is stock, then you have to consider a few things. If it's an auto,your torque converter is quite limited as far as input hp/tq. It doesn't react to increases all that well....lol.

My first suggestion is a performance filter. The usual K&N, AEM, etc. Let the motor have all the air it wants. Air is never a bad thing.

You have to decide what amount of $$$$$ you want to spend. You want a little more power and a driveline that can tolerate it? You pullin sleds? Daily driver with no towing, etc....

So many questions, so little time.


Patience my young Jedi.


Good luck with your ride.

What did you want to hear? Were you looking for a chip? Won't happen. Those electronic cheats only work on 98.5 and newer. What kind of power are you looking for?

There are different fuel plates you can get, but once again the stock drivetrain is going to be a problem. As suggested, air intake and exhaust should be the first mods.
