New to the diesel world

Hi everyone. I am a brand new member to the diesel world. I recently purchased a 1993 Dodge cummins with 270 000km. I dont know alot about diesels other than the fact that the cummins is known for its reliability and longevity. There will be a bigfoot camper and quad trailer getting hauled around by this truck but was wondering what I could do to get a little more pep out of it while still retaining the reliability. Thanks

Welcome to the forum if you want more power you should have a boost and egt gauge so you can't hurt anything first. Good luck your new rig.

Gotta love that. Rednas very first post, looking for more power, is answered by the man with the most powerful VE in the world.

Welcome to the site, you should read the stickey for basic info, you should be able to add 30-75 HP to your rig for free - under $200
