Dodge Cummins Camshaft Replacement at DynoMite Diesel

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
I have been itching to get my camshaft replaced in my 2002 Dodge Cummins ever since I saw the article in Diesel Power magazine. I researched it and made an appointment with DynoMite Diesel in Monroe, WA to get it done. I also needed some better injectors because the ones I was using gave me really bad Idle and I needed to upgrade to something bigger due to my recent twin turbo installation. DynoMite Diesel specializes in injectors and acually hones and balances their own nozzles. I chose their 150HP Injectors.The Camshaft that I chose for this project was from Diesel Dynamics in Nevada.

Upgrading Ram & Cummins Name Plates

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008
I never liked the look of the old, boring, black and red RAM 2500 and Cummins 24V Turbo Diesel name plates so I bought the new style ones off of eBay! The Upgrade for the 2 - RAM 2500 and 2 - Cummins Turbo Diesel nameplates/decals were close to $100. I dont know if there is one correct way to remove the old ones but I tried a combination of different things at different times. Some things you might need are, clothe/rubber gloves, chisel(or something solid that has a flat/pointy end), Goof Off, a good bug and tar remover that wont hurt your paint, tape measure, and heat gun. The first thing I did was take that flat/pointy chisel Continue reading
