what to do next ?

"BIGRIG2000" · 06-29-2009, 11:45 AM

okay here is my delema: i pull goose neck almost every weekend carrying gross 12,000lbs, now i want to continue beefing up the cummins but i need to keep in mind with every upgrade comes sacrifice in my case, i will not be able to haul long distance without having high egt's with upgraded injectors/ adrenaline. so should i have the head shaved/polished and fire ringed or restudd everything with a super "b" turbo upgrade. and i am going to need an upgrade clutch as soon as this one blows apart. money is not an issue as i just got off deployment so give your food for thought thanks

I would go with the studs and a turbo. If you have some money you should get some towing twins. I would recommend the bd towing twins.

***9612vinva*** · 06-29-2009, 03:02 PM

i Would get a DD clutch and fuel pump then get all the goodies.

"BIGRIG2000" · 06-29-2009, 03:18 PM

have the air dog 150 already waiting to burn this clutch before i replace it with the better one

***9612vinva*** · 06-29-2009, 04:28 PM

y wait?? it could happen and leave you stranded... i would get one now

brad_99_g · 06-29-2009, 04:42 PM

TWINS!!!!!!!! with studs and a clutch.

**2nd Gen Domination** · 06-29-2009, 05:32 PM

towing twins studs and the clutch for sure

"BIGRIG2000" · 06-29-2009, 05:39 PM

okay so i will re-studd the whole motor and buy the new clutch with upgrade hydraulic pedal. now what would be the most sensible tow twins to go with. i will do that upgrade in august.

***9612vinva*** · 06-29-2009, 06:21 PM

Look at BD or Phat Shaft

"BIGRIG2000" · 06-29-2009, 06:27 PM

ats shows a pretty good one for about 3500.00 but FBD has one for 2500.00. price checking stud kit right now for the head. its kinda hard to decide on which one i want.

brad_99_g · 06-29-2009, 08:54 PM

Call Tim at TRE. Great prices awesome work, and knows his stuff. And if you want tell him Brad Gray sent ya.

Is the farmboy kit you're looking at the bd. If it is then it does not come with the bottom charger if it is 2500. For the studs I would get the trusty ARP's. If you are willing to spent a little more I would get the Source Automotive twin kit.Here is a link 1994 - 2002 Dodge 5.9L Cummins Twin Turbo Kit: Source Automotive Performance Diesel This is probably the best quality kit out there. Then there is the Wicked diesel kit which would be my second choice. Here is a link WICKED DIESELS, WICKED DIESEL Then my last choice would be the BD kit.
