New Diesel Owner
I am a new diesel owner and new to this forum.My name is Travis I live in Jacksonville N.C. The truck is a 1996 Ram 3500 club cab dually with 12 v and automatic trans.I was wondering if there was anyone in the Jacksonville area that worked on these trucks as far as doing performance work. Thank you ,Travis

Uh oh, your in trouble. 
There might be "one or two people" in your area who are in to diesel performance. I'll let them chime in and let you know where to go. But your life as you know it is about to change.
Congrats on the new truck and be sure to meet as many of these people that you can. There is a great group of guys in the NC VA area and you'll not regret meeting them, well, maybe your pocket will regret it.

You learn quickly there is no such thing as "To Much Fun". Congrats on your purchase and welcome to DTR. First thing you want to do to your truck is tranny. Phil McMaster is a Goerend Tranny guy near Raleigh, he can fix you up. He goes by McMopar on this forum.

If you value the current amount in your savings account, run away!!
A great guy to get up with in your area is John_P. He knows the dark art of 12v voodoo.

I don't know of any shops in jacksonville that do any performance work on these trucks. I work part time at Napa in town if you have any question i can tell you some of the things that i have learned. Like everyone has said there are some good guys from this area. i followed some of them to Rockingham last year and had a blast.
