I picked this truck up 6months ago from lakeland fl and drove it home 100mi and started tinkering. It is a 1995 RCLB auto. Thanks to the effort of people like will terry and tyler kipp I have learned alot about making these trucks fast. I am also on a budget as these two started out. First trip to the track was better than expected with street tires rolling out I ran a best of
13.3@115 I did not spray it at all on this trip, never had a chance to fill the bottle. I was running with the wastegate disconnected and making about 52psi peak boost. By the end of the night the stock headgasket quit the game. I have purchased a set of upgraded headbolts socket head cap screws and the cummins marine headgasket, also had the head resurfaced with stainless orings @ .011 protrusion. The truck was bone stock when I purchased it and has 175k miles. I picked it up for $3500. I have not touched the transmission yet and it still shifting so it seems to have been rebuilt, previous owner towed a 5th wheel so im sure the stock trans failed on him.
Big thanks to everyone who has shared information on
CompD, especially these two.

This was my first venture into racing a cummins. A 92' d250 2wd. Best of 14.1@98 I did up the nitrous a bit and found some more fuel for it before I sold it but never returned to track for a better time. I really enjoyed this truck but without a lockup converter and a measely VE I had to get rid of it before I dumped a bunch of money. I knew the second gen was the better platform.
