Got the phone all charged back up last night. Here's the rest of the pics from last weekend. Once everything came out I gave everything a good blast with the pressure washer. Everything looks to be in good working order. I plan on moving the fuel lines and lift pump to the drivers side since...

Sorry it took me a few days to get back to posting. I wanted to take a bunch of pics for others thinking about this swap will know whats involved. So....on with the pics. First thing I did was drain all the fluids and disconnect anything that tied the cab to anything. I opt to remove the cab to...

Well its been a long while but it looks like this project will be moving forward this week.....finally.

Post #3 did in fact have all your answers. Though post #2 was a good read. :D

Yeah, haven't added anything up really. Think this will be one of those on going never gets done projects. That's just the way I like it. I really enjoy working on it and driving it.

Just got in the last of the parts today, other then the new injectors. I can add them later. Everything looks really nice, other then the cross member from Tennessee Diesel Conversions. The welds where full of pits and it came in a raw/rusty finish. Guess I expected a bit more pride in their...

Allen I'll check tomorrow and send you a PM.

Looks good. How does it ride?

I was going to try and sell all of it as one package, radiator to drive lines. If I can't find any bites then I'll be parting it out. You're the first in line.

My brackets for the bumper, connected to the frame, were cracked almost all the way in half.... Not the outside supports. If I had done this it would have made the bumper look like a V. Be safe, I'd hate to see anyone get hurt.

I like this idea.

In the next couple of weeks I'll be replacing the 6.2L/Th400/NP208 for a 5.9L VE pump Cummins/NV4500/NP205. Currently I have added the Banks Sidewinder Turbo System. Though is was a nice bump in the power I still wanted more. Based on other similar builds, engine modifications and trans setup...

I want to add 2cents, most people that might be thinking about a straight piped diesel also need to remember that 99.9% of the diesels on the road have turbos. The 6.2L is naturally aspirated so it doesn't get the muffling effect via turbo. Just 6.2L's of high compression diesel engine. If I...

I cut off the mufflers before I installed a banks turbo on my m1008 just to see what it would sound like. I think I'd rather drive a riced up civic with the muffler plumbed into the cab. It was truly the worst thing I've ever heard. I still have nightmares. :(

Jason, I can deliver it to you for free. It may get wet on the way and shrink down to an M1008. rofl Just kidding buddy nice truck. We'll see you next time you are down here.

Looks good Dave.

If you are sure there is not blockage with the air then pop test the injectors. Sounds like the tips are wearing out. You can run WMO in most diesels with no issues as long as its clean, clean, clean, clean. Adjust your ratios depending on the temperature outside. You can always run a heating...

My head hurt just watching that clip. The true question here is why don't I have a blow torch on the ready at home.....on my truck.

:funny:

Well congratulations to you and good luck! You know the one food that kills a woman's sex drive? Wedding cake. roflEnjoy yourselves. Sorry to hijack.
