I was wondering if anyone out there was using propane. THe sales pitch on TRUCKS sounded great but I have yet to see or hear anyone using propane.

 

Shrtmndiesel, I am currently running propane. I have tried several different systems as well as built three different one's of my own. Feel free to call me at my shop N-F 8-5 Phone# 505-534-0434.. <br><br>Thx Kurt Yardley<br>Mild To Wild Diesel Performance Inc.<br>Silver City NM

 

I used a propane system on my `99 Powerstroke diesel. It really kicks your truck in the *** when it comes on. It's worth a good 100hp if you do it right. I think most of us Cummins guys though try to avoid it so we can pride ourselves for using #2 only to obtain the same power.

 

I have been using lp for over two years. I sugest using a vapourizer under the hood(this uses the hot antifreeze to insure that the propane boile).I have mine coming on at 10psi of boost. Over all I pick up an extra 8 psi boost at the top end. It really is noticable in the higher RPMs.<br><br>jt<br>

 

Some people warn against using too much propane but I personally couldn't ever get enough of it. I ran bottle pressure from a 20gallon grill tank into the intake pre-turbo. I had my hobbs switch set for 15psi. The truck w/out propane would stop just above 19psi and would hit 35psi with the propane.
