Hi I'm new

Hi, My name is Corey, I graduated recently from the Universal Technical Institute, Diesel/Industrial class.

I am currently on the market right now, looking to build a hotrod dodge diesel :]

Does anyone recommend a particular year for the Cummins Engine for a build project?

Welcome to the Source, Corey!

24V's are cheaper to bomb...

Common Rails will make more power, but will empty your wallet in the process.

Things changed in 07.5...
