In Reply to: Finished Project 75 Dodge D200 Club Cab Cummins Swap! posted by Reg Riemer on Tuesday, December 12, 2006 at 01:47:45 :
With no loads on my D200 Club Cab Cummins truck, boost is 18 psi when under load in high gears, I've noticed that boost falls off as rev's build in gears, then boost comes back up again after shifts
Normal?
I Just have the pyro and boost hooked up today. Still balmy warm in Calgary, no need to plug in, mornings are -14C wait to start is 15 to 20 seconds, then it goes. I'm running 15-40, too thick for my liking, cranking is slow but she still starts fine. Second stage grid heaters kick in and burry the stock 75 amp meter on dash. After about 6 kick in and out she stops kicking in and you are still just driving along
Dodge should have had the 75 with this engine and they would have been even further ahead of the pack. Amazing power smoothness and economy. NO SMOKE!
Putting camper back on tomorrow!
