Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Questions on 2002 ram

[JDinterman]

Hey guys i'm new to this website and I must say awesome!I have a couple of questions I have a 2002 2500 4x4 ctd with the automatic, How much power can I add before I need to get into the transmission I was also told that I could add a bit just by readjusting the valves is there any truth to this? Also what are some mild things I can do to increase power i'm not rich so be easy on me. Oh yeah i've had the truck since it was new and I noticed the front crank seal is leaking is this a common problem and I also noticed a slight leak under the turbo there's a small tank for the transmission i'm assuming its some kind of vacuum or recovery tank will the dealer work on these if I have a straight pipe on it?



Thanks in advance

Jonathan

Stage 1 injectors or the Edge EZ box will get you an additional 60 hp. I wouldnt go beyond that without a transmission upgrade. Fix the transmission before you go any higher. Most oil leaks come from the breather bottle by the radiator. Clean all that mess up before checking for leaks. Good luck
