Hey man love the channel, exactly what owning a diesel truck is about. Love that you do all of your own work! So I guess my question for you is what would be a good turbo set up for a daily driven truck that tows about 18,000 pounds occasionally. Just picked up a 17 sport 4th gen and want to do a 2nd gen swap on it when I delete it and do head studs, but I can't decide on a turbo that would give me room to grow power wise and that would spool well for towing! Keep up the awesome content man!
aye greg i believe if your throttle is too touchy for your comfort you can change the weight of the spring on your linkage. my 2nd gen 12 valve dropped the linkage spring and i went to autozone and got a variety pack of throttle springs and one of them was just right for me.
Awesome awesome video Greg A that first gen turned all the way up is sick lol but it’s definitely on a fine line from a run away lol but that’s what it takes if you want big power lol I think you should go twin turbo now since you got all that fuel lol and it’ll put out even more power lol
Man I was sitting here like...cant wait for the test drive...maybe tomorrow tho since y'all finished late. Good work tho Greg. Y'all keep that cold, wet weather up there don't be sending any down here!
Does anyone know what injectors he put in the 1st gen. I've watched pretty much all the 1st gen videos over and over but can't seem to find that. Thanks in advance
Hello I have been watching the first gen since the beginning and working on my 89 cummins , I bought a 3800 gov spring and was wandering if you have to cut them to install them ?
Levi Marquez they dont make anything of that sort for first gens. Even second gens they only have a cable that let's you adjust the fuel plate from inside the cab.
Hey Greg, I have a 93 12v, I’m looking to upgrade my intercooler, now I looked all over in line but can only find ones for 94 and up. Are they the same (as in will they bolt up right) or is there I can find one specifically for my truck. Thanks Mike
As far as I know they do not bolt directly on. They are larger in every dimension. If you want a couple of good upgrades get an inter cooler a hx35 turbo, fuel pin, turn up the smoke screw 1 turn, get a 3600rpm gov spring, if you want to get a little more involved get some marine injectors and 60lb valve springs. I have an hx35 that needs a rebuild I got from a co worker. He used it for a while in his 12v. Made a lot more power than stock in his fummins build.
Michael Becker not exactly you need to make new upper mounts, drill or cut new holes for the pipes, make new bottom mounts, trim the grill and space out the overflow bottle its mostly all test fit and fabricate. Not a super hard job but takes time. Easier with a friend
dakota blanch yeah at first I thought it was coolant. But there’s nothing wrong with the engine. And they’re messing with the fuel system. So unburnt fuel makes a lot more sense.
Spitwadz when we turn up the fuel the idle raises. Because we can back the idle down much more we have to index the shafts to allow it to turn farther back and lower the idle. Then we add more fuel and it raises the idle back up
Spitwadz it was about half way turned up but when we changed to the 3800 spring I turned it all the way out to be safe and retuned it from 0 fuel. That's why it wouldn't start the first like 5 times
Just wondering, if you're doin a p pump conversion, why bother messin with the VE pump anymore at this point. Also, plan on the FSS takin a shit after the gov spring upgrade. Pretty typical from what I've seen and experienced.
greasymechanic he wants to see whathe can do with that pump and once hes done he's gonna swap the pump over ajd have the pop off pressure changed in the injectors. And there's still alot of people with rotary pump trucks
Skyler Ellis i know there are many VE trucks out there. It's more of a why do things more than once if you know what your end game is situation the way I look at it.
Greg you know there is a VE throttle rod w/ heim joint you can buy pretty cheap that replaces the dodge one. cppdiesel.com/cct-throttle-linkage-kit-89-93-cummins/
Duece Sullivan Dont listen to all the people saying its daddys money, I bought myself a Lotus Elise last year, when I was 16, and I get so many jealous people who wont realize I worked my ass of for it. Just keep on and don't listen to all the stupid people.
GOOD MORNING!!! GET SOMETHING DONE TODAY AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!
GREG_ALBERALLA I hope the Greg A weather report is looking good for this weekend!
Good morning Greg A keep posting great footage. Congrats on baby.👍

GREG_ALBERALLA at drill watching this haha
Have a great day Greg!! Thanks for the uploads!!!! K love you bye
As always, Have a great weekend Greg A and all Greg A subscribers.
Hey Greg this is my opinion but I think the first gen would look good with the front blinker covers smoked or blacked out
Greg "that's where we're at" Alberalla
I didn’t realize your garage wasn’t connected to your house lol
Learning every time I watch ur channel.. great lesson... Keep them videos coming... Thanks Greg.. love the first gen...
One thing about that turbo is the seals are top notch !!!
"It won't focus any zoomed in more" Greg A 2017

I hooked a push pull cable to the injector pump fuel cutoff lever just in case it runs away I can shut of from inside cab
Love this VE pumps, had one like this on my old 88 passat and have nowadays one like this with electronic governor on my 97 audi a3
Congrats Greg
Finally a video again. You made me worrying about you Greg 😋. Have a great weekend!!
Front bumper is loose
the first gen is looking good, excited for racetruck time. when will you come to the west coast to visit
Awesome awesome video Greg A that first gen turned all the way up is sick lol but it’s definitely on a fine line from a run away lol but that’s what it takes if you want big power lol I think you should go twin turbo now since you got all that fuel lol and it’ll put out even more power lol
Hunter Prowse if he doesn't fix that oil leak in the turbo he will see a real run away;)
Man I was sitting here like...cant wait for the test drive...maybe tomorrow tho since y'all finished late. Good work tho Greg. Y'all keep that cold, wet weather up there don't be sending any down here!
hey greg looks like the front bumper is a little loose.
Hey Greg A when are you gonna dyno the first Gen?
paddle shifters for race truck??
Does anyone know what injectors he put in the 1st gen. I've watched pretty much all the 1st gen videos over and over but can't seem to find that. Thanks in advance
Have u done ur dowlpiin.just wondering in need to do it to my 93
12v
You should do a roll pan front bumper on the 1st gen
Your bumpers about to fall off brother!!! 1:39
Finish the gauges Greg A
Was just wondering if you were gonna upload today.
BAD LARRY Jenny Juán gettin’ TURNT’ BUBS!!!!! 🇺🇸
Hello I have been watching the first gen since the beginning and working on my 89 cummins , I bought a 3800 gov spring and was wandering if you have to cut them to install them ?
B Cummins yes you do we cut gregs in this video its about three loops but pretty much just march the stock spring length.
It ran away? I didn't run far....
What happened to p pump conversion
hey greg would you ever try an AFC live setup on the first gen?
Levi Marquez they dont make anything of that sort for first gens. Even second gens they only have a cable that let's you adjust the fuel plate from inside the cab.
Just got my long sleeve shirt and hoodie today 👍🏻
When are you putting the Big pump in?
Hey Greg, I have a 93 12v, I’m looking to upgrade my intercooler, now I looked all over in line but can only find ones for 94 and up. Are they the same (as in will they bolt up right) or is there I can find one specifically for my truck. Thanks

I was planning on building her to about 500 hp, I already have some parts, I was gonna do a ppump swap in it as well
They do not bolt right in. They are wider and the pipes are larger. Mounts dont line up either
Thank you! What does it take to get them to bolt in? Drill some new holes and bolt it?
Michael Becker not exactly you need to make new upper mounts, drill or cut new holes for the pipes, make new bottom mounts, trim the grill and space out the overflow bottle its mostly all test fit and fabricate. Not a super hard job but takes time. Easier with a friend
Awesome video Greg 👍, I'm wanting to know what's your plans for the fss with all that fuel going through it?
U need to buy a second gen dually short cab and put a 24 value 6 speed trany behind the 12 value
damn Greg, that bumper is flopping around on the 1st gen?? lol
You’ll get to have a little wrench getter
why not change out what needs done and p pump the truck
matt phillips they probably just wanted to f with a ve pump
Greg, your front bumper was moving when you parked the first Gen!
Turned up to 11?
Cummins swap a dodge dakota would be badass
Why does the 1st gen blow all that white smoke while it's starting?
dakota blanch unburnt diesel happens at colder temps
Ok thanks I was always confused
dakota blanch yeah at first I thought it was coolant. But there’s nothing wrong with the engine. And they’re messing with the fuel system. So unburnt fuel makes a lot more sense.
WHERES SEND IT BRA
Front bumper looks loose when you pulled up to the camera. Just a heads up
I don't get the throttle indexing reasoning.... Outside of a governor spring, nothing changed. In fact, he backed off the fueling. ????
Spitwadz when we turn up the fuel the idle raises. Because we can back the idle down much more we have to index the shafts to allow it to turn farther back and lower the idle. Then we add more fuel and it raises the idle back up
Greasing Crows Racing Got it; I was under the impression the fuel screw was turned all the way up already. Makes more sense now.👍
Spitwadz it was about half way turned up but when we changed to the 3800 spring I turned it all the way out to be safe and retuned it from 0 fuel. That's why it wouldn't start the first like 5 times
Here we go
With that seat you should go road racing!!
Mind you non intercooled trucks have a bigger fuel pump and bigger injectors..
FirstGenCummins the 89 thru early 91 have bigger pump and injectors than 91 to 93? I didn't know that.
FirstGenCummins both trucks have after market injectors so at this point it doesn't matter
I wouldn't say the title is click bait due to it could have due to the modification that was done to the truck.
Where do you get that under hood light?
i think its in the description
Better go catch it...
Buy a new throttle rod with metal ends and move the ball back so its not so touchy...
Did anyone else see the bumper wobble.
Just wondering, if you're doin a p pump conversion, why bother messin with the VE pump anymore at this point. Also, plan on the FSS takin a shit after the gov spring upgrade. Pretty typical from what I've seen and experienced.

Skyler Ellis i know there are many VE trucks out there. It's more of a why do things more than once if you know what your end game is situation the way I look at it.
you know if your pumps built right you can push just as much with a ve pump it's all about how you build it
Larry Hughes never seen a ve over 500...
The stock be pump maxes out at around 400hp
FirstGenCummins that's only what everyone thinks. These pumps can handle more than that.
Don't kill it's damn you just got all the trucks in the driveway back up to 50%
Gear Head426 it won't kill it it's not making enough power
Ketchup 2003 True enough
Who else loves when your going to sell something and I blows up😂😭
Ketchup 2003 you’re *
front bumper seems lose on the first gen
Where’s Johnny though? 🤔
Cause diesel's don't created suction....
Greg you know there is a VE throttle rod w/ heim joint you can buy pretty cheap that replaces the dodge one. cppdiesel.com/cct-throttle-linkage-kit-89-93-cummins/
Nice!!
Do a racing steering wheel for us! Plz
does every one expect him to just let his pickup run away full throttle for a few seconds for your entertainment
hey greg you have good content that i will watch regardless of your clickbait bullshit. So please stop it
I'm not going to be able to watch after Jan 1st Amazon is dropping RUclips sucks
When you gonna put a MAN pump on that thing. lol
To the people complaining it says ALMOST...
Will everybody shut the hell up about the click bait. Every RUclipsr does it. It's just a damn title, get over it and watch the video.
Drew L I think it's funny that people that are going to watch the video, no matter what Greg titles it, complain about click bait.
Greg glow plug delete?
Kyle Keierleber first gen doesn’t have glow plugs only heater grid
Lets not be a lavon killer and blow an engine in 2
Alright guys....
I️’m 15 I️ just bought a white first gen and I️ need a name for it
Duece Sullivan name it daddy’s money.
Tavo24vv fun I️ work for a oil company and save my money to buy it I️’I’ve had my eye on it for a while
Lavon Marshall did you not look at the post
Marshmallow magic! Hahaha
Duece Sullivan Dont listen to all the people saying its daddys money, I bought myself a Lotus Elise last year, when I was 16, and I get so many jealous people who wont realize I worked my ass of for it. Just keep on and don't listen to all the stupid people.
