I'm selling my truck that I custom ordered in March of 2015. I am a diesel mechanic and have taken meticulous care of this truck. Ordered through Hoblit Dodge in Woodland, CA. Drove as a commuter mostly, took it on a couple camping trips and it has towed my rock crawler on my 20' trailer...

So i decided to do it, i want to go bigger. I have a fairly stock '92 5 spd with 4" straight, smaller housing on stock turbo, and fuel screw tweaked just a bit. I want to know what the best turbo for me to run is and if i should invest in some stronger head studs. Also I'm planning injectors in...

the only one it looks like geno's has is the ISSPRO 5501 series, it doesnt say if it works with the factory plug in. how difficult is it to install the magnetic kit?

ok sounds good, do you have any idea where the pickup for the plug in would be?

i need some advice on installing an aftermarket tachometer in my '92, i was wondering if anyone has had this experience with finding a good one and installing it. thanks

thanks that helps a lot! now does anyone know anything about putting an aftermarket tach in?

thanks a lot i appreciate it. i fabbed up a tap im fairly confident should work, im going to begin work as soon as the rain stops... soon i hope, im nervous everyday i drive the rig

So im a second gen owner that just sold it and upgraded to a first gen which i am loving so far. The rig has 241K on it and runs better than my second gen did. I was told by the owner that as far as he knew the KDP had never been tabbed and i can tell that the stock case is still there. So im...

yeah exactly what he said, just a replacement. i love the truck i just dont think it's worth that much. i offered him 13k and he wouldn't even take that. he doesn't want to sell, it's the wife. .

I've been looking a couple different 12 valves, one is a 97 4x4 dually with 122k and a 5 speed. its really nice with nice extras however it was used to tow 5th wheels and i was told that the head gasket was replaced should this be a red flag? he also has the wastegate disabled. here's the truck...

its pretty rad, definently different than what im used to with the the 2nd gen but im looking forward to it, im just going to check for cowl cracks next time i see the sucker

ok thanks, ya i wasnt sure but now i know im going to have some work to do. I had an 01 that i just sold for 13k because it had too many mods and things were starting to go wrong. so now im just looking for a clean truck and i wanted to stick with a newer one, but this thing is too clean too...

ok that helps alot thanks, i was wondering, do i have to worry about the KDP with this 92? i had to do it to my old 97, just curious, thanks

ya i actually talked to him about that before and he said 6200 was lowest and then i offered 6 and he agreed. i know the guy to and its just been babied, im thinking in the future i would definently do the 4500 conversion. do you know anything else i should check on these early CTD's?

So im looking at a really clean 92 4x4 with 242k on it with the 5 speed Getrag, i heard they are really crappy and im wonering #1 what's so bad about them, and #2 how hard is it to swap for the nv4500? I have always had 2nd gen 24valves so the 1st gen. 12 valves are kind of a mystery to me. any...
