no propane or water injection......not yet at least.....
Just the usual upgrades...........injectors, GTP38R ball bearing turbo, high flow intake, programmer, full turbo back exhaust (did not have a catalytic from the factory), regulated fuel return mod........
Doesn't have the HP or TQ that these newer $80,000 trucks have but I've driven them all and this "old" truck puts the power down better and hauls better than the 2012 Duramax Dually that my company has just purchased.
More to come.

Nice,so it RIPS!!.
A guy I used to work with framing houses on the side several years ago had the EXACT same truck(just black),and all he had done to it was threw in a SuperChip...and I s**t you not,that thing would smolder the duals,and put you in the seat...and keep you there!!!...that was my first introduction to the diesel world,and I was impressed. :-D

This is not my 7.3 but I had to post it up, lets see a some of todays cars try and reach numbers like this.....I just turned 102,000 miles on mine so its safe to say that it finally broke in. :-D

The Cummins will last forever.......the truck on the other hand will begin to fall apart at about 30,000 miles......Tehachapi is a dodge community for some reason or other and every dodge built post 90's seems to be very cheaply built. Our company had a 2012 dodge cummins that had both tail lights fall off because of broken tabs. Thats just one example......but I love the cummins engine...well, except that stupid blue tec engine. Very underpowered when compared to previous years and cant even idle the thing in the morning to warm them up because that stupid exhaust filter will get 90% clogged up if idled for more than 5-10 minutes. :|
My KX500 however runs great with that Cummins bearing in it. ;)
