1990 Cummins 12V straight pipe revs & drive

1990 Dodge Ram 250 Cummins 12V straight piped (stock diameter) revving and going for a drive on a winter afternoon. The noise is hardly noticeable with the windows up. Rolled down, you can hear the healthy exhaust tone and turbo whistle. Turbo spools up faster and engine breathes easier now. Also have a 16cm turbo housing installed. We might be thinking of going 14cm to reduce lag.

I love the format of your video! You took a startup and a short drive and made them into a complete story. Additionally, I love the truck.

[GreenVolvo]

Thank you! It was a lot of fun. We'll be making another video with this truck as soon as spring comes by with some better weather.

Don't get a 14cm , its too much money and you will notice NO difference at all from your 16cm, trust me been there and done it with the SAME exact truck, 91 non i/c 5 speed cummins truck.

If anthing go to a 12cm, NOW THAT YOU WILL LOVE, the 12cm is a huge upgrade over the 16cm, the 12cm is sooooo funn around town.

[GreenVolvo]

You're right, 12cm would have minimal lag.

My father is now the proud owner of this unit. I think he's looking into a newer 12 valve cummins. Maybe I should buy it back from him, I miss it!

AWESOME! no cummins beats the 1st generations

[Hotrodx199]

These early 12 valves are pretty quiet compared to the 94-98 12 valves for some reason.

Nicely done! Great video!

Awesome video! My friend has been wanting to do that swap engine and tranny to his 1983 Chevy K20 4x4.
