I have been itching to get my camshaft replaced in my 2002 Dodge Cummins ever since I saw the article in Diesel Power magazine. I researched it and made an appointment with DynoMite Diesel in Monroe, WA to get it done. I also needed some better injectors because the ones I was using gave me really bad Idle and I needed to upgrade to something bigger due to my recent twin turbo installation. DynoMite Diesel specializes in injectors and acually hones and balances their own nozzles. I chose their 150HP Injectors.The Camshaft that I chose for this project was from [...]

The Cummins Forum Truck was in need of an intake about a month ago to help the engine well fed with cold air. We had already added a Turbo, Exhaust, Injectors and Chip, we needed an Intake badly. Volant happened to call us and when they found out what we were doing, offered to get us a new Intake for the truck. We were excited.
The first thing you need to do for this installation is remove the old intake tube and box. This is very easy. All you need is a screw driver to loosen the tube from the turbo [...]

The Hypertech HyperPac was probably one of the easiest programmers I have ever installed. In fact, the HyperPac isnt really just a programmer. The Hypertech HyperPac combines the best of both worlds in a programmer and module with something like Edge Product’’s Attitude Monitor. The HyperPac Tunes your vehicle like a normal programmer would, through the OBDII port but everything else is like that of an in-line chip and monitor. I dont even need to describe the installation in this review/article because all you have to do is plug the HyperPac in the OBDII port and it walks you through [...]

I was going to upgrade to the BD Twin Turbos so I needed a stronger more reliable exhaust manifold to replace the stock manifold. My stock manifold was just fine, but the problem that a lot of people have is that after they add a certain amount of power, the stock exhaust manifold will crack. In some situations people are not even adding horsepower and their stock manifolds crack.The ATS Exhaust manifold is designed with a pulse manifold design which eliminates the problems with shrinking and breaking as well as cracking and gasket issues. The ATS design helps to increase [...]

In my quest for reaching 500 HP I talked to Dave Diaz at BD Power. He recomended that I upgrade to Twins. BD had already hooked me up with a BD Super B Single, all I needed was the upgrade kit. I say “all”, but it is a big upgrade, well worth the money though. I was going to be totally maxing out my effectiveness with my Super B turbo because I had scheduled my truck to get the CrankShaft upgrade and Dyno-Mite’’s 150HP injectors. I gave Dave the monies, and he sent me the upgrade kit. The upgrade kit [...]

I never liked the look of the old, boring, black and red RAM 2500 and Cummins 24V Turbo Diesel name plates so I bought the new style ones off of eBay! The Upgrade for the 2 – RAM 2500 and 2 – Cummins Turbo Diesel nameplates/decals were close to $100. I dont know if there is one correct way to remove the old ones but I tried a combination of different things at different times. Some things you might need are, clothe/rubber gloves, chisel(or something solid that has a flat/pointy end), Goof Off, a good bug and tar remover [...]
