  • Is that the "high idle"?

  • @JeremyL249 yup

  • what brand mudflaps are those? also which 5"exhaust did u go with

  • @kaelirenae i custom built the mudflaps, i bought SS upper supports, SS bottom weights and 2 pieces of 24x24" dually mudflap, cut the mudflap how i wanted it, plasma cut the upper SS supports to fit in my fenders and then attached SS bottom weights, put em all on.

    The exhaust is an Expandit 5" turbo back system with a SS 5"-6" flo pro rolled edge tip.

  • is it supposed to blow that black smoke out? im not being a jerk, I just dont have any experience with diesel but was thinking of getting one.

  • @CampoFox yeah its very normal when the engine is cold, its just running rich and dumping more fuel than needed

see all

  • did your truck come stock with the high idle and the three cylinder idle or did you have to enable the feature with the dealer or a smarty?

  • alright! time to get to work :)

  • Nice truck!!!!! Do you still have it? How many miles? 

  • It's amazing that they do that 3 cylinder high idle themselves. Good work Cummins.(:

  • Yes I own one but they are equipped with the very poor 44 injection pump. The best thing to do is put a p7100 on there. And a 150 gph lift pump. That way you have the 24 valve head with good air flow, and enough fuel to pass everything put a gas station. Lol

  • Sweet truck. I'm looking in to buying a 2001 dodge diesel 5 speed 4x4. Was that a good year for those trucks?

  • I'd love to stand on all 4 behind that exhaust pipe and inhale the smoke and let the guys just have fun rev the enginee;)

  • thats what i call a cold start
