On my own truck, the simple addition of an Edge Comp added enough airflow demand to pull down the intake Filter Minder by two-thirds on the first RV tow up a steep Sierra grade - NOT good! kj6q@hotmail.com (Gary K7) Tue, 03 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.cumminsforum.com/articles/articles/46/1/What-is-an-ADD/Page1.html 2002 2001 1998.5-2000 This simple plug-in device allows you to get an additional 10% horsepower and torque from your engine! Add it with injectors for a super combination! When using the ADD with boxes that have a MAP Sensor provision, always plug the ADD directly into the MAP Sensor, then plug the box harness to the ADD. To explain it simply: The ADD has a microprocessor that acts as a electronic voltage regulator, thus never allowing the engine computer to see an over-boost signal.

Stock fuel pumps on these Dodges are aweful, and their solution, the intank pump, isn't much better! andy@cougargulch.com (Fight 4 Your Rights) Tue, 03 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.cumminsforum.com/articles/articles/29/1/AFS-Walbro-Fuel-System-Install/Page1.html This write up is for the AFS Big Dog Fuel System with Walbro GSL 392 pump on a 98.5 - 2002. The kit comes complete with everything you need to install on your truck so long as you still have the original fuel module and not the in-tank lift pump. If you do you will just need to install a Draw Straw. andy@cougargulch.com (Scott 3*ton*of*fun) Tue, 03 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.cumminsforum.com/articles/articles/27/1/CHEAP-fuel-flow-improver/Page1.html As guys seek and add more brute power to these Cummins, weak points surface, one being fuel flow to the Cummins and VP-44. Some guys go to the expen$e of larger lines and fitting for the fuel system, but for moderate power up around 400 HP or so, the stock lines do a pretty decent job. kj6q@hotmail.com (Gary K7) Tue, 03 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.cumminsforum.com/articles/articles/13/1/Home-Made-fuel-regulator-and-bypass-valves/Page1.html In the past discussions related to added pusher pumps, and/or relocated Lift Pumps, it has become evident that while these mods are very helpful in better fuel flow and PSI, they also create a potential fuel blockage issue if they lose power or otherwise fail. kj6q@hotmail.com (Gary K7) Tue, 03 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0400
