We’re T-minus a week or two before getting our hands on a new Cummins project truck…

It’s an ’09 3500 single rear wheel, Mega Cab, with the latest Cummins mill and the six-speed 68RFE automatic transmission.

So far, we’ve been told the truck has 80 hp injectors, a FASS system, H&S exhaust and XRT tuning, and an air intake. When we get our hands on the truck it’ll be making a trip to the dyno, and then receiving ARP head studs, a modified CP3, and a built transmission from North American Diesel Performance. Then, another trip to the dyno will be in store.

Also, look for a turbo upgrade soon after our first installment, and maybe even water/methanol injection.
