Hey I'm looking for a chip for a 1997 12-valve Ram. I can't seem to find any. Any suggestions?

I cant guarantee this, but I dont think chips are available for the 12 valves. I think when they started usin the 24 valve in 1998.5 they became available. again, im not positive on that lol id do the pump work, delivery valves, injectors, shave the fuel plate and a bigger turbo. a buddy of mine has a set up like that on his 1992 cummins 12 valve and the truck got tons of balls even with the lift and 35 or 37s.

Exactly... VP44 was used in 1998 till the switch to CP3 IIRC.

From what I've seen in the local diesel power groups 24 and 6.7 are easy to make lots and lots of power. 12 valves it is much harder but the rewards are well worth the work, especially if you are like me and like the mechanical more than computer.

Nothing and I really mean nothing beats the sound of a cranked up 12 valve!

There is no chip for 1989 to 1998 Dodge Cummins engines there are all mechanical pumps no electronics.

So now before you even think of doing any pump work first get gauges! (Pyrometer and Boost) I rather you protect your investment.

So now with the P7100 it a matter of adjusting the fuel plate and/or AFC spring...
