UNTRUE. Look at Cummins plate on left front of engine to find your HP.

IF it's a five speed or auto, it's actually possible, Chrysler released a performance PCM a while back, which cost 900 dollars and made about 50 hp...:doh:, but, it may or may not still be available...:confused013:

just do a good lift pump, like a FASS or AirDog, and a Fuel Pressure gauge, then get a Quadzilla Ad reline or Edge programmer, for all the power you'll probably ever need...:thumbsup:

It's got 245 if it's a 6-speed or 235 if it's a auto or 5-speed I think. But you can turn it up with a programmer or box (often referred to as a chip)

interesting, then if you got them to turn it up, would that mess with a chip you added? I wouldnt pay 900 for 50 hp, but some dont know any better

i read that on Dodge Ram Information a while back, so, i dunno if the thing is still made..

either way, a chip would be better:thumbsup:
