1998.5 dodge 2500 need more power

farmboy020 · Oct 13, 2010

hey guys i ahve a 1998.5 24 valve cummins extended cab shot box two in lift rims 33's it has 260 000 km on it. I want to start cranking out some more power it is getting alittle low for me now. i already have a smarty 60hp injectors cold air intake and 4 inch mbrp exhaust. I no im going to need new tranny so im getting a nadp hevay hauler. No just need more power to put that to the test. ALso my suspension aint that good when you have a 30ft goosneck full of toys on ti she sags her down pretty good. do not want to put air bags. Was wondering if the 3500 dually leafs will bolt rihgt in or if mods will be needed. any input will be appreciated.

i think 2500 hd leafs are very close to 3500. unless yours isn't a hd. what boost are you pushing out of your stock turbo? whats your fuel pressure at?
i would look into a new fuel pump, wire tap box (quad adrenaline, tst, edge) and then a upgraded turbo. bd single, garrett stage 2 is what i ran and loved it, now i run a gt4094r but you would never toy with that big of single

what kind of fuel pump do you recomend. my guages are on order thanks

I'm running a fass 150/90 lift pump, Fass is by far your best bet to make sure you have enough fuel for any mods on these 24V's. It's been feeding my Edge Comp with 90hp injectors quite well, haven't starved the VP 44 yet!! I need a different turbo set up soon but don't know what to get either!

hey man i gotta say send that tranny back to nadp the price is way way to high for what you get Diesel Performance: Discount Truck Accessories & Performance Parts, Buy Chevy, GM, Dodge & Ford Truck Parts, Air Intake Filters & Exhaust Systems, Fuel Tanks, Mounts, Gauges & Injectors Online these guys will save you over $3000 forsure on the tranny trust me I dealt with NADP as a dealer for years and yeah there pricing is severly out to lunch put it this way 2010 dmax tranny NADP $7000 ppe tranny kit shipped and installed in truck and capable of over 1200 hp $4200 big difference

scrap the fass pump put the new airdog 2 150 gph just put it on smaller than the fass system so you dont see it hanging down and now there is no need to drop the fuel tank or put the draw straw in your tank way better had the fass on my dmax then went to airdog much more happier and the filters and replacement parts are way cheaper and puts out the same pressures as fass

If you get the 150 GPH pump with 90 GPH body, called 150/90 its the same size as air dog, and slightly cheaper. Cheapest Filters to find for the fass are Fleetgueard from Cummins Western Canada on West end of Edmonton, great deal!!
I agree, stay away from NADP!! They are stupid expensive on everything!!

thats rite completely forgot about that fass system my bad!! yeah NADP is way to expensive stay far away from them unless u like getting bent over with no vaseline

i run a fass, airdog or a glaicer diesel pump will work fine aswell. you want between 10-20psi for a vp pump mines 18 at idle 15 at WOT, thats with 150 sticks. i feel the same about nadp aswell, they help our sport but not our pockets haha. anymore questions just ask

hey guys so i have a problem i have a smarty s03 and had it on stage four. I then plugged a superchip in just for fun. Now when i go to program my smarty it says warning ecm changed. It wont let me do anything. It does not matte wether the superchip is in or out the smarty will not let me do nothing. Any input thanks

I gotta Edge Drag Comp box for sale if you are interested c/with Blue Chip cover, it stacks well with the Smarty. Could also work out a deal on a ATS 3 peice manifold.
As to the problem you are having, I'd get in touch with Marko (Smarty dude) and see what he says. Also check around TDR or DTR and search the forums.

farmboy020 · May 22, 2011

how muchn for the manifold? why you selling it? I dont thinkg the drag comp works int he 1998 1999 becasue it is not the ho if you go on the edge website they do not show it able to to fit the 1998 but if i can find that it does how much for that? thannks

Yes the drag comp will work on your truck if it was for a 01-02 you lay need a harness adaptor. It's a little late but Yeah don't try and use 2 can bus fueling devices. You can use a drag comp with the smarty if the smarty is on a fuel only setting so both chips arnt adding timing
