| Simple mods.
the 98.5-02 Cummins are 24 Valve, VP pumped trucks.
Start with simple mods - Intake, exhaust.
Then, get some fueling boxes for a touch more fuel and timing advance - you'll net more fuel economy because you get more time to burn the fuel - and the increase fuel pressure allows you to reduce the injector duty cycle to cut down fuel used. | |

| | What I'm reading here is your dad wants to reduce expenses. Keep in mind that, no doubt, DrSpeed's recommendations will help - but you have to factor in the cost of the modifications and what the return on investment is (how long before you recoup your money). | |

Good things to start with:
http://www.edgeproducts.com/product.php?pk=78&pvk=238
if you get a 7% increase, and doing some homework, with some assumptions...
$5.00 / gal Diesel
current MPG: 16
Cost per mile: $0.3125 / mile
new MPG: 17
Cost per mile: $0.2921 / mile
Savings of $0.0204 / mile
It would take you 15,000 miles to recoup the cost of the module.
So, to Tom's point, yes, figure out your finances. But start with an intake from aFe...

| | Yeah that's what I'm doing is investigating the options before he makes up his mind. Currently he said he's averaging 18 mpg and I really doubt a gas eng would get that kinda mileage constantly carring around close to 2,000 lbs of tools plus any other materials. | |

| | You can see a huge savings in oil and filters with an oil bypass system. Guys with the FS-2500 average 30,000 miles between oil changes, with perfect oil samples. It also completely removes wear particles for a 2X to 3X extension in engine life. Works on tranny too. Check it out at www.fs2500.com. I do have specials running. | |
