Cummins Driver
THE Cummins Driver
Hey guys. Recently picked up a 93 D250 A518 club cab truck. Was kind of looking for a single cab to play with but this will serve as a multi purpose truck so I was ok with the extra cab room. As of right now this truck is totally stock. Pump has never been touched, and the exhaust/muffler is all still original. Engine sounds super healthy and the trans felt solid on the short test drive and the fluid looked fine as well. I owned a 91 W250 for a short time but never really messed with the pump. I believe it had the stock fuel pin rotated and it ran pretty decent considering that was all that was done to it. But Im thinking about possibly playing with this one some. I would like to see 14's out of it through the 1/4 on street tires, but im not sure what it would take. Im used to 4wd trucks so Im not sure what kind of 60' time can be expected out of this boat that I think has a single track rear at the moment.
I figure a basic game plan would be to do all the normal pump mods including a fuel pin, 3200 (or 3800?) GSK, and a transgo shift kit and see where im at there. I would think that it might run 15's with those mods, but im not sure as i've not messed with a ve a lot and i don't know what the truck weighs. Also, I think im wanting to keep the muffler on for the time being and im not sure how restrictive that will be. Looking at the stock air filter I would think it wouldn't be too restrictive either, but that's why i'm here asking questions.
So what on top of what I have mentioned above would be needed to break into the 14's? Would I need something like caltracs to get it to hook better on street tires? Basically just wanting it to be a little bit of a sleeper and fun to drive while not sacrificing reliability too much as ill still be making some trips and driving the truck. This likely wont happen quickly as I have some body work to fix and some other minor work to do to the truck first, just planning for down the road. Thanks for any help/suggestions.
