Finally got a Cummins!
Well hello there all.
I finally bought a Cummins about a week ago, I have wanted one since I was old enough to write stories about growing up and driving a cummins and here I am.
I got an 01 2500 4x2 with the auto. I have heard two stories about this tranny, one is that its a pos, and will give up on life at the slightest request of work, the other is that it will pull 10k no problem. I have also heard about people just leaving the overdrive on when towing, but i have a family member (eats, sleeps, and breathes Dodge) that swears thats a bad idea. So which is it?
I have already straight piped it from the resonator back, and took the silencer ring off the turbo.
Are there any things I need to be aware of for this truck?
Thanks

One more quick question; how fast is too fast with the overdrive off? Seems like 70 mph is about 3000 rpm, and thats waaay to high as far as im concerned.
