What gear on the high side you going to try to run? Mine will run High 1st with no problem but high 2nd is way out of reach with 400rwhp. I am hoping mine will pull 3rd low good and stay above the turbo when i change to 33's from 35's

That's a nice, good ol' looking 1ST GEN truck even with the factory equipped peeling paint. I like the height that is sits at and the engine setup looks good under the hood. What intake horn is that from, a 24 valve? Also, where did you get the traction bars from or did you make them. I don't know anywhere a company sells them for the 89-93 1 ton dually trucks or diesel specific that is. But, I'm sure as long as you buy a set for the certain year range of Dodge it will fit a gas or diesel, doesn't matter. I think I remember seeing a set for 1/2 and 3/4 ton, but not 1 ton. Probably could get away with a 3/4 ton set on a 1 ton though. Any advice for what is a good set of bars to run from what company? Thanks.

Thanks for the compliments

Yep 24v horn

I built the bars out of some 3pt tractor top links and some .135 cold rolled seamless 2" diameter tube

I would say if you have the skills, I would just build a set that way they will be how you want them

I have found that it is a lot easier to build and fabricate stuff for this body style truck as there is not much aftermarket support for them, and if you build parts for your truck yourself you will take a lot more pride in your truck
