Any 12 valve Cummins guys left out there?
Wondering what type of setup you run and what you tow. A few things I 've done that I couldn't live without now are my 2LOW kit and manual lockup switch. I also installed a speed controlled unlock...

I've added a triple disc low stall TC and built tranny, bumped timing 16* and running a #10 plate with 3k rpm gov springs. Stock valve springs, exhaust and air intake.
Never installed a boost elbow because I'm already able to push more than the stock charger is rated to handle (36psi).
The 2low kit really helps when making tight turns on asphalt.
Diesel is $3.99 a gallon here and gas is $3.89. I think I'll leave my gasser in the garage this weekend.
My 12 valve is quieter than all the newer modified exhaust diesels running around with 4" or 5" exhaust and a 5" or 6" tip. I also don't let it sit and idle like some do either. I agree that campgrounds should be quiet and have never understood why almost everyone that buys a Harley gets turrets of the right wrist. I would submit that a single Harley with straight pipes is louder than 20 12 valves.
For all those that hijacked and trolled this thread, why not start another thread?
I never had a 12 Valve but did have a '99 before my '05. I loved that old truck almost as much as I do my '05. We might have to me up sometime and I'll let you drive my '13 so you can see how far they have come over the years. LOL 385 hp and 850 lb/ft of torque and you could breath the air coming out of the exhaust , well it might blister your innereds...... HAHAHA!!! I love the rattle sound of a 12 valve. They sound like a true truck engine.;) I could make a recording of a 12 valve and play it when I go to bed and sleep like a baby.
