Thanks Greg, that really kinda helped me. Now it’s just deciding on my goals with the truck. I know it’s going to be a daily driver and used for towing but I also want some extra power

Holy shit! You answered my question 3 years ago!

I personally believe the first mod that should be done is the Transmission. Trans is the weakest link. Then start on the motor mods

I agree 100%

That sounds like some pretty good advice. It's like every other mechanical system, you need to size your parts to match your end goal.

great vids man!! it would be cool if you made a video bring more specific like this is best for a xxxhp towing, racing, daily driving. and what the best set up would be for a truck that can do it all. let's say a 700hp build. and what trans upgrades would be best too or the best place to get a built trans

I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 quad cab. It’s my first diesel, bought it 14 yrs ago with 110K now had 225K. Trucks been good to me motor wise. I would also recommend, getting a built trans. I added a airdog and a Bully dog PMT tuner and I smoked my trans, had it rebuilt that didn’t last. Ended up with a DB Performance Plus wasn’t cheap but no issues since.

very helpful sir thank you. I know what you're saying by those are your thoughts and opinions, however we've all seen what those thoughts and opinions put on the track, the dirt, and towing. so that gives a respective bar or example if you will for myself or others possibly to build to. your 08 is exactly what I want or be usable for me, 1000 horse would would be fun as hell but not reasonable for me. the tow ram would give me all I need for towing and then some, daily driver manners, plus plenty left under the hood just to jack with people

One of your most informative videos, thank you very much!

Thank you, really helped me out a lot! Greats Videos :D

I put a lot of highway miles since I work for the railroad and I tow 10k Ibs easily 6/8 times a year when we go camping. So reliability and mileage are paramount to me but more power never hurt anyone

These videos are very educational

Very informative and helpful vid. Thanks

Hey Greg great videos. Your really up on all this stuff. I have a 2006 that I’m currently looking at upgrading turbo and 2nd gen swap. I’m stock cp3 and plan on 50 hp injectors. I’ve installed the fleece power flow lift pump. I’m looking for 550 hp or so. I want the truck to keep egt down and tow better than stock. I have the edge tuner but plan on efi. I also need to keep my exhaust brake (the old Jacobs that dodge offered back in the day). So any thoughts on the turbo? Fleece told me the 463 2nd gen was too laggy. Should or even a cheeta. What downpipe will I need on 2nd gen to keep my exhaust brake. Thanks again

2007 cummins 5.9 150 fass, cold air, cfm intake manifold, edge but going hp tuner or efi curious what other mods would be good to do thanks for the video man just ready to take the power to next level for my current setup also my goal is between 600-700

@GREG_ALBERALLA What would be a good set up for my 2nd gen 24 valve I dd and tow but looking for better mpg and better throttle response and power. new to the cummins world and been watching your vids for bout a min now and love yalls rigs keep up the great work.

Very Good info! Thanks!

Hey Greg on this topic. (or anybody in the comments) last week I bought a 90 4wd cummins. It's 100% bonestock. I would like to wake it up a little. I daily drive it and I sometimes will tow with it. It's non intercooled and I've considered intercooling it. But I dont think it needs it. I would like to do a small fuel pin and a 3200 gov spring. As well as stage one 50hp POD injectors. (the stock ones have a small leak so I thought of I'm going to pull them to fix the leak that would be the time to upgrade) Ive got 4in exhaust on its way and Im going to put a better air cleaner on it. I also want to do a EGT, boost and trans temp gauges. Is this a good start for my truck to get more power and still keep fuel mileage, as well as not over power the transmission.

Hey Greg I need new injectors for my 2003 I’m at sea level, I already have a built trans. What size injectors should I go with? Need it to be able to tow. On my old 2001 24valve I was running 150 edge nozzles and able to tow still. Thanks for the help in advance.

Spend big money on the transmission first.

So in your opinion. I have a 98.5 vp44 with an nv4500. Already did the 5th gear fix, bought my upgraded clutch but havent installed yet, and have a fass 165 I put on yesterday. I have about 10k to spend as of right now on it. My plan is a daily driveable 550 horse give or take, i wouldn't be opposed to 600 or more if possible with the ability to tow light still, like 7k, very very rare anything above. Already have a 5" exhaust and 4" down pipe installed too. Was wondering is if 150, 175, or 200 hp Injectors will be best. And I want to try and stay single turbo but dont know what size, I've heard of anything from 62-66, plus what's a good cam still? 188/220? Or is that a bit much?

also some super detailed how to videos would be cool to see there's a few how to videos from other ppl but it's either not complete or the quality is really bad. u seem to make great quality vids!

I love your video.. but I need some help I have a 98 12v that I'm starting to build and my goal 400hp I've already most of the supporting mods Trans etc. but I'm kinda stuck on witch turbo and injectors can you help me I daily drive the truck and do tow with it

Hey Grag, I have a cummins 5.9 2007, I did my BD gearbox, I have a bully dog ​​tunner and an intercooler. I would like to know what I need to reach 800HP, I'm from Brazil and I follow you always, very good work!

2003 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 Cummins. loss of power and MPG what would you recommend totally stock truck 135,000 miles. general maintenance over the years. do tow a RV occasionally. Thank You

This might be a dumb question but I’m new to this. My truck has 150 injectors how much horsepower do you gain from them thanks for the help

So I'll probably get slughtered for leaving this comment but I have a 96 mm turbski I'm getting a bt6 5.9 to put in a very small truck just to do like burnouts and fun shit so yes more power than need but that's the point but my question is the engine has 100 k on it well taken care of will the stock turbo /head and piston hold up to the 96 mm turboon a compound setup with the stock hx35

Hi Greg, i have a 12.7 detroit s60 1999, that is giving me some hard times, it was overhauled twice by detroit dealer in wa state, is running very bad, no power on hills, mpg is between 5.5-6 , pulling a reefer . Will you be able to give some advises ? Thanks!

I have a 98.5 Cummins and it has power then no power and a lot of codes for low circuit Any suggestions where to start just bought had 12 valve and think I should have went back to 12 valve.

I want say around 400 or 450 in my 2nd gen 24v. I want it to be able to get out of its own way I don’t need a race truck. I would like it to smoke a little bit too

GREG_ALBERALLA Hey man whats your opinion on smarty tuning. i have had 2 different EFI live tuners try to tune my truck with no luck. I have tried both stock turbo setup and and a sxe s363 (s363/68/.91 t4 2nd gen swap),(2007 5.9 stock injectors, 48re fully built, fass150, 5' exhaust). with egt problems on both and massive amounts of lag with the s363. i have had the injectors tested and they passed. would i have to upgrade injectors? All I'm looking for in power is just a better power curve, good spool up and a nice top end without high egts and good fuel milage. I tow vehicles sometimes and haul sleds to the mountains occasionally.

I have a 99 dodge. I've put 75hp duckys injectors and a fass lift pump. I just want more towing power. Except for a cold air filter it's basically stock. What do you recommend I do next?

Sir I have a 2001 dodge 3500. I do alot of traveling for my job so I'm pulling my fifth wheel every month to 3 months. Plus I use my truck for my job so it's a daily drive. What do you recommend as far as injectors and turbo

What should I do for my Cummins 12v. I want around 250hp but dont want that huge blk smoke many ppl find cool. What size injectors is recommended?

I'm building a 1st gen right now. Keeping a mild build. It's getting intake, fuel pin, exhaust, probably some elbows for the intercooler. Down the road we'll just have to see what it gets.

Hey GREG. so I have a question for you. I have a 1992 fire truck with an 8.3 L Cummins with the Jake break as well. My problem is I have tons of white smoke at idle. I suspect at least one leaking injector. Would you be able to show how to get to the injectors and also what injector would be good to replace all of them with to get more horsepower. I’m not looking for a ton of power or high price injectors I just want to wake it up a little bit.

Greg im going to look at a 03 dodge Cummings and i wonder how i can tell if injectors are getting ready to go out…the truck has 216,000 ….is that a bad mileage when everything needs to be done

I love you videos man keep it up ... I got a question I have a 4 1/2 inch lift on my Dodge Ram 3500 03 .. my guessing is that when the lift was done they didn't put new extended shocks or idk I really don't know about lift .my question is how can I make my suspension better what do you recommend me doing

With a 4.5 in lift there is no way stock shocks would work so they are most likely aftermarket, now you could possibly look at some better shocks for it, like fox or king shocks, even bilstein would be a great upgrade, after that I would make sure your front coils are "progressive" coils, they are known to have a much better ride.

One of my favorite channels on KZread. Love your trucks. Just out of curiosity, I'm trying to get my 06 5.9 to 700hp. I was thinking about doing a s369 with a 10 or 12mm pump and other supporting mods (tuning,springs and trans, I already have studs and hardened 12v rods). Now my problem is that I just put in 50hp injectors (I know this will be my limiting factor). Could 700 still be achieved with the 50's? I'm kind of starting to look at 100% overs. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

50HP injectors or 50% over injectors? The new SXE Borg 369 i believe I have seen some common rails do 700, the new SXE line really has some impressive flow #s, to hit 700 a 10MM pump will do that and 100% will be quite a bit of fuel for a S300 charger, I might try and push your current injectors see where your max is and then use that to judge how much more fuel you need for that goal.

@keiferjanz3197

7 жыл бұрын

Connor Milroy both are hard to reach higher horse power levels with out any smoke. 24v while it is an electronically controlled injection pump the injectors are fully mechanical and like the 12 valve only offer one injection and the fuel atomization is lower because the injection system on older diesel are 4000-5000psi compared to common rail at 10000psi-30000psi depending on the generation of common rail system.

With s port and helix (p-pump) there is a lot of fine tuning one can do with the pump to dial it in for cleaner running while having added hp, but it's something that one needs to ether have experience and know what your doing with or have it done by an injection shop.

Connor Milroy for a daily driver a 24v with a aftermarket lift pump to keep the vp44 injection pump well feed, 4inch exhaust and a cold air intake with a programmer like a smarty would be good for added power but good drivability and all you do is place the truck back to factory tuning with the programmer before the smog test and I would think it would pass.
