eclipsing 450rwhp with a 3rd gen is PAINFULLY easy... watched a near-stock truck do 480rwhp w/ just a programmer!

putting together a VERY drivable 600rwhp combo is painfully easy compared to trying to get the same out of a 12v

I want a single cab 2wd auto

 

we all hate too much! its still a cummins, so its still a edit truck! i like 'em all, just hate to see all the edit plastic and fancy ****, its a truck!! 1st gen. ROCKS

 

I will take a underpowered 1st gen engine or 2nd over 3rd gen. I know 3rd gens make crazy hp. I don't need a 500hp race truck. I'm a huge fan of K.I.S.S. I had a alternator go bad about 4hrs from home the only thing that stopped us was that our headlight looked like candles. If it where the day time I would of kept on truckin til I got home then worried about the problem. All 5.9 motors are great motors though

 

HERTZ !!! whats a kiss ??? also show us some pics of you rig ?? what engine is in that freightliner ??

 

In the context he used, it stands for "Keep It Simple Stupid".

 

Judging by the mods in his sig, I'd say a 1stGen B series.

So did I. I'm sorry I was not verry impressed. If that was all they could pull out of the venerable 5.9B they can have the 6.7. I just couldn't believe how the owner of the truck thought it was a monster. I have yet to let him drive my truck. Might let him do that tomorrow. Might be a good "pickup" for the wife but I won't trade up or down depending on who you talk to for leather and an extra 12 valves. Jethrro

 

I agree i have been kicking around the idea of buying a newer truck.. of course i have to have the 98 12v quad 5sp short bed probabbly the rarest dodge cummins ever built... i have test drove a few long beds and a couple autos and man those things are dogs... and the price is crazy ... so since i dont beleive that dodge made a diesel from 98.5-02 then i have to find a 03 or newer so i guess ill just stick with ole reliabile ... look at it this way make 650.00+truck payments a month or spend 650.00 every few months on your first gen and have the perfect truck!!

 

I'll try to post some pics sometime next week it's dirty. Little 5.9 pulls this truck 70+ up the mountains
