Turning up the pre 94 Ram diesel injector pump

then I would recommend the 366 spring and an aftermarket fuel pin. But I'd be careful on how much you help this guy, cuz in the end, his old dodge might be beatin your ford. ha ha jk.

Yeah a 3200 (366) spring would give you the top end, and its only like $16

the only thing you can do with a powerstroke is melt it down and make a cummins.

did the rebuilt trans include a torque converter? does the overdrive engage?

for starters, i would crank the fuel screw to the lock collar, that will give you a pretty safe hp increase until you get some gauges in it.

60 MPH sounds like a stock converter. Get it replaced. Even with stock fueling it would do better than that with a good converter.

well thanks everyone for the help :yourock: It should get us started. And that cargo light switch you dodge guys got is pretty sweet.Can't turn mine on without turning the interior on also

Yes the overdrive engages.Not sure on the convertor.The guy he bought it off of said the tranny was just rebuilt and thats all we know.Shifts real nice.I know gauges are on the top of his list.

Thats what I thought.I know it struggled with an empty goose neck to pull 70mph but that is a heavier trailer then the first one I was talking about.Need to get a tranny gauge on there and see what the temps are doing.
