Canadian build up !!!

stock first gen cummins engine mount ..... and no mod at all under the hood for the body .... but you need to run electric fans .... If you want to keep the stock mechanical fan ... cut into the rad support and move the rad up front a good 2" .... and everything will clear

Thanks man i was planning on running twin electric fans my truck already has a 6 inch hell creek suspesion and 3 inch body i was gonna swap all the running gear out of my donor dodge . WHat kind of radiator and intercooler did you wind up using. just trying to get all my ducks in arow so once i start i can knock this swap out fairly easy, Thanks again

radiator are cj style replacement aluminium but with my big tranny cooler in front i'm not sure if the heat transfer from the cooler to the radiator or the radiator is too smal when the cummins is pulling heavy weight ( uphill with a loaded trailer ---) 8000 pounds ) and the intercooler is not finished but i will be using water cooled intercooler ( smaller and more efficent ) .... but only this summer i will be able to confirm that !!

Thanks alot i was gonna get a bjs offroad aluminum radiator for my truck it should be ok with their fan shroud and electric fan. Are you having the intercooler special made for your setup? Thanks for that info.

NO generic ebay water cooled intercooler .. around $50 but you need another radiator an a coolant pump ( bosh only )

next project ---) I need a doubler !! 2:1 low is really not enought !!! Already start to find all the parts !!

[blazen71]

I was wondering, is your front rockwell narrowed?

[Kamikaze12volts]

no stock from a Deuce ( US version ) but the rear hubs had been flipped to get the same width as the front.

I was thinking about that since the past three weeks ---) Yes i need a doubler .... but definitively i need also a new tranny !! So i'm looking for a NV4500 or NV5600. I just missed a luck last month ... complete '94 dodge ram cummins with manual tranny ( smashed on the right side ) body was totally destroyed since the truck made several roll over but the powertrain was perfect and the price was good ( $1500 ) So i'm waiting for another luck like that !!

But for 2010 the truck will get a new stick shift tranny and doubler !!

- Custom snorkel
- Front and rear axle wrap
- OBA
- Roll cage

Time for some updates ..... i know what you are thinking ..... YES 4" snorkel for the cummins. I will need to mod the canister to fit the opening but it will very easy to do !!



The OBA is almost finished with a ½hp electric DC motor .... and upgrading the suspension. I will removed half of the leafs pack and replace them with air bags with integrated bumpstops. 2 anti axle wrap will also be needed when doing that. This will increase the flex offraod but will give around 800% more confort on the road.

Also i may have the luck i was waiting for ..... complete ram truck with a 6bt and the NV4500. So i may have the new pump style and the manual tranny. I'm looking also for a better crawl ratio ... that truck is a way too heavy for normal gear, so i need to go creepy and install a black box from NWF that will gave me another 2.72 of tcase for a total of 200:1.

So i may offer you my current powertrain ( exept the tcase ) consisting of the 6bta with the A518 with Lokar shifter and kickdown , tranny cooler with all the Aeroquip fitting ... complete and bolted together .... you may just need a dodge np205 to complete the assembly because i need to keep mine and swap it at the place of the 241 which is on the wrong side. if anyone interested i can make you a very good price and you can be sure it's working fine !!!

And if anyone is interested, I have a Dodge NP205 that would work...

I envy you and your truck...I can only dream of such a well built and great performing rig in my posession...ENJOY IT!!
