Hello, My name is Mike. I finally switched over from a powerstroke to a 2001 Cummins. The truck I got is a 2001 Cummins ext. cab shortbed 4x4. It has a 5.5 Fabtech lift. 4" exhaust out the back and it came with a superchips program(extreme) in the ecm and it is stacked on a banks ottomind. Cold air intake as well. I plan on stacking a Comp box and a smarty like a friend of mine does. Any opinions on that would be appreciated. Would also like to do a set of injectors and a bigger turbo later this year. Would like to make 500-600 hp at the wheels. I also want to put a set of 6" stacks in the bed. Thats a lil about me and my truck. I am a lil new to the cummins world. Is there any simple tricks I can do to it? On the powerstroke ya pulled the wastegate hose and got 5 more pounds of boost. Such a thing on the cummins? I seen I still have the silencer ring that I can remove for a lil more noise.

 

Welcome to the DTR, Mike!

Nice looking truck.

 

Thanks, I can't wait to turn it up some more.

 

welcome to the club, where abouts in sw PA ? couple events coming up you should note..... April 26th, a get together at petro's fuel in duPont PA, and then may 30, 31'st spring fling in dillsburg, a dyno event. both events full of people that know their trucks, and willing to share that kowledge. spring fling is a must, where else can you go and see several trucks make 1000 hp, wit a couple at or over 1300 ! :O keep track of going on of interest in PA stuff here : https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...play.php?f=150

Thanks for all the welcomes!!

 

Did you lift that pickup yourself or was it like that? I was thinkin about liftin mine and was wondering if you had to mod your steering box and everything for that size lift. thanks

 

Was already lifted. Though I see no mods to the steering box. I am going to put one of those stabilzer brackets on to help with it though. It is a really nice fabtech kit. They are a lil pricey but the stuff looks great. It also has an aftermarket trac bar on it. Another thing I want to change in the future is the lift blocks. I'd rather have all spring under the back to give less axle wrap.

 

Oh i see. It looks awesome. I was lookin at a tuff country lift for mine. probably some 37's or so. ya all spring would be a good idea, my buddy has a 97 witha 13 inch lift on it and it has all spring in the rear
