New here from Oregon
Hello, my name is Kirby. I am from Southern Oregon. I have a 1996 Ram 2500, 12v cummins.
Most of the modifications on the truck was done, very cheaply, by the previous owner. Since purchasing this truck, I have had the engine replaced as well as most of the front end.
When the engine was rebuilt, they added some new injectors to it. The guy at the shop said there were good for +50hp. If someone can tell me what CC these are, it would be greatly appreciated. I also have a K&N CAI on the truck. Recently, I installed the 5" MBRP turbo back exhaust.
As far as the suspension goes, it is a 6" lift done by the previous owner. The truck rides like crap because of it, they fabricated their own add-a-leaf kit out of 1" steel plating. However, the front seems pretty sturdy.
Currently, I have some cheap wheels from les schwab. But when I get paid this week, I am putting in an order for the XD Revolvers in matte black.
I am also going to be purchasing a single piece headlight housing with projectors and new tail lights in the next few weeks. I am also going to be purchasing some gauges for the pillar a friend gave me. Any suggestions on what gauges to get? I have had a lot of turbo/supercharged gas vehicles, but this is my first diesel.
Inside the truck is fairly stock except for the audio system. I have built many custom cars in the past, and audio has been my main focus. The audio for starters is a pioneer head unit, custom kick panels with kicker speakers and 1" tweeters, dual 10" sub box with kicker CVR 800W.
I will be upgrading the in-dash unit to something with a DVD player and adding some monitors to the vehicle including hard wiring a PS3 into the truck. Great for some of the hauls I do with the truck.
I think that is everything I have done to the truck, any suggestions for future modifications? Also, is there a regional section of this forum? I would like to get in contact with some fellow dodge owners in my area.
