Even though it was designed to see 20 psi of boost in the 5.9L Cummins’ application, this one makes 35 to 40 psi courtesy of a disabled wastegate. The HX35 not only yields more power, but lower exhaust gas temperature (EGT) as well.1997 and earlier models do not require any smog testing in California.Transmission: 47RE transmission - 4-speed automatic8ft x 8ft custom steel Flatbed with gooseneck hitch in center of bedRecent Mechanical work:Replaced front main engine seal May 2019Full Front End rebuild - left and right sides- Big O Tire in Jan 2019Upper Control Arms, Tie Rod Ends, Ball Joints, Idler Arm, Pitman Arm,Rotor and brake pads, Wheel bearings/seals/wheel hubs, Front Shocks,New remanufactured 47RE transmission installed AAMCO in May 2018with Upgraded Torque converter and New TPS sensorNew Starter, Rebuilt Alternator, Mechanical Spectra Lift pump 2018KDP Fix and Tune Up Sept 2016Fixed Killer Dowel Pin/Replaced Gear Box Housing & GasketsChecked Valve Clearance, Re-Timed, Replace Upper and lower Radiator HosesOther upgrades-Installed AirLift airbags over rear axle - https://www.airliftcompany.com/ Jan 2018-Installed Hitch Receiver and Brake Control unit with 7 pin connector Sept 2017-Installed K&N air filter Aug 2017-4inch down pipe to 5 inch exhaust to 7inch tip-7in pop out deck with tv- Boost Gauge- Pyrometer GaugeREVIEWS:https://www.drivingline.com/articles/11-reasons-why-the-12-valve-cummins-is-the-ultimate-diesel-engine/https://www.kbb.com/dodge/ram-3500/1997/
