I am a new 24v cummins owner, and after resolving the issue in my first post, I would like to add a little power to my "new to me" truck.
This truck feels very down on power compared to my 12v, and I'd like to up it just a little, but I want to do it the right way. On a recent road trip, I turned out about 18 MPG. bone stock at an average of about 68 MPH. Sound about right? The truck does not put out even the slighted trace of smoke (which I could care less about, but its the first diesel I've had that doesn't smoke at all), and cannot get out of its own way at all.
Anyway, after a fuel pressure gauge, pyro, and boost gauge, I am considering the AirDog 150 http://www.dieselpowerproducts.com/p-4520-pureflow-original-air-dog-100-dodge-cummins-1989-2010.aspx and a 100 hp tune. Are there any other issues I need to address. I know the old Cummins dealt with the KDP. Are there any similar issues with this newer Cummins? Can anyone tell me their personal experience with the AirDog, benefits and downsides, and will I be overfueling?
Anyone recommend a good programmer? I would just like to increase power mildly without wearing out other engine parts, and get the fuel mileage up.
I know it's a lot of questions, but I appreciate any help and hope to hear from you guys. Thanks.
