Yeah it doesn't do it in fourth unless i lug it. As far as I know it has 3.55 gears. No I think it's a h1c.

How hard is it to put a turbo made for a second gen truck onto a first gen? Like a super b or an aurora 3000? I kinda only want to spend money on a turbo once and I'm gonna start pulling my truck and I tow with it so I don't really know what a should buy turbo wise

No, they started in 94. Either yours was swapped or (and I'm not certain of this) may have been an option.

There's your answer, don't lug it. I know mine isn't happy in 5th until at least 50mph.
An HX35 is a bolt on with only moving your exhaust back. Any newer Dodge or aftermarket turbo will require some fitting.

No it's not it is 1.25 inches longer(due to the waste gate housing) and the downpipe could interfere with the air box. Right now a guy on comp d has a compressor upgrade and exhaust housing for cheaphttp://competitiondiesel.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115409Rocky DANG IT THAT LINK DIDN'T WORK BUTS IT'S THERE HE JUST LISTED IT
But you don't have to mess with the manifold, do you. So it does bolt right on up. I didn't say you wouldn't have to do anything else. The DP won't interfere with anything, unless other modifications have been made. There's plenty of room there for it to fit.

Its a direct bolt on as long as its a t-3 foot. The only major thing you need is an HX-40 downpipe for either a 1st or 2nd gen truck. Here's a really good write up. https://www.dieselbombers.com/5-9l-r...its-turbo.html
