Follow along as we double the horsepower of Westen Champlin's 1st Gen Cummins pickup. Can we coax more power out of the factory VE pump or will we have to do a p-pump swap?

    I’m here because of mike Finnegan. Let’s see that 500k subs.

    LFG. Been missing PDD's content, now 2 bangers in 2 days!
  • If anyone deserves recognition for their hard work its Todd, Will & the rest of the guys over at PDD! A few months back I had a some questions regarding my late model Dodge transmission so I called the shop not expecting that Will would be on the other line sharing his knowledge with me. Now that may be a Utah good ol’ boy thing but I was impressed and have been a fan ever since!

    Another sub for finnegan. Love seeing how these cummins 30 years later still take upgrades like a champ
  • Love the "Double the Horsepower" videos!!!! Keep it up!!

    Been my dream truck since i was like 12 and im 35 now.... My summer job at the campground we stayed at all summer had one and they let me drive it at age 15 doing clean up, etc. Fell in love even more. I just always been a sucker for boxy style vehicles and growing up in a dodge family it just makes sense. I just wish i would have got one back when they was going for $5000 for a decent one....

    I have the same setup on my 89 except I have a 5 speed manual. Very fun to drive.
  • I love these videos showing the increases in the horsepower. On my 93 non intercooled engine it originally made 16 lb of boost. I added a fuel pin, ground the inside of the cover and adjusted the spring. I also turned up the fuel screw and added 7 x 11 injectors and the Boost went up to 40 PSI with a huge Improvement in performance. Then I added the timing spacer kit and added the 3200 spring, and the Boost dropped down to about 32 or 33 but still runs great. I have a straight 4 inch exhaust. Kind of wondering what kind of horsepower my engine might be making compared to stock.

  • @DG-wj6ks
    This is inspiring, I haven’t turned up fuel yet but have a 47rh and a hx35 and still hit 100mph. This is going to be fun

  • @hbetz5300
    The spark plugs were most definitely to ignite exhaust to make flames 😂
  • @Scott9181970
    Considering the factory rating was 160 to the crank, that first dyno run wasn't bad. I still need to put the injector nozzles I bought from you guys on the spare set of injectors I have for my 1st gen 😅 Fuel pin and screw was enough to make my trans start slipping like mad, that lack of locking torque converter is just... stupid.
  • I've always been taught to turn the field screw up while the engines running to avoid a runaway
  • @Zed-uh8js
    Video was extremely enjoyable gotta make more
  • @markrich3271
    I still have an old first gen . I never use it . Starts right up . Great truck.
