i'm looking at buying a 98 2500 with a 12 valve cummins. I have heard that this is the engine you want to make power. What is the secret b/c the 24 valve feels so much more superior to the 12 valve? some one help me i just want a little more grunt out of it

There are lots of free mods you can do to the fuel pump to make it rock and roll:smokin: . Possible to get 350-400HP with these mods. Is the truck a manual or auto.

Do some searches on the net. Check out http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/dev/index.php?

The 12 valve engine uses the Bosch P7100 injection pump. The fuel stop plate can be removed and modified to unleash all kinds of power.
If you do this, make sure you have gauges first, so that you don't melt down your engine.
And that tranny won't last long if it is a stock replacement.

Is this truck a 98 with a 12 valve and quad cab? If so, it is a very rare and highly desirable truck. That set up was only made for 6 months before the more powerful but unreliable 24 valve came out.
