The old 6.2 will just never make the power I want. On kind of a low budget but found two possibles. One is a '90 dodge truck but I dont know if the early injection pumps are worth tuning or if a p-pump swap is esier. The other option is a 5.9/Allision combo that supposedly came out of an old bus or straight-truck. I dont know how identical these engines are to the dodges but the non-computer Allision sounds like a good idea. Anybody that knows more than me would be helpfull, thanks ]]> Diesel Engine Conversions Bill Iverson http://www.dieselbombers.com/diesel-engine-conversions/36694-cummins-shopping.html 2000 Ford 12v conversion pics. http://www.dieselbombers.com/diesel-engine-conversions/36647-2000-ford-12v-conversion-pics.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:31:55 GMT Image: http://www.powerstrokenation.com/photopost/data/643/medium/swap_0023.JPG Image:...

This is on an 03 with a manual transmission, I'm told it can be different in the later years. All that is needed to get the engine running, provided you have the stock harness and all the sensors still in place on the engine, is three wires. Near the ecm harness, there are two wires that branch off towards the drivers side fender, one has a spade plug on it and the other is a black wire with a ring terminal. The spade plug goes direct to battery+, the ring terminal goes to ground. The third wire needed is pin 32 on the 50 pin connector (green w/black stripe), this one needs 12 volts whenever the key is on and in start (no different than a fuel shutoff solenoid).

That's all it takes, seriously. So much for a 12 valve being easier to swap huh? You still have alternator, grid heaters, starter, and gauges with any engine you swap. ]]> Diesel Engine Conversions 94Matt http://www.dieselbombers.com/diesel-engine-conversions/36470-common-rail-wiring.html <![CDATA[It's alive!]]> http://www.dieselbombers.com/diesel-engine-conversions/36445-its-alive.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:10:42 GMT We just fired up the engine five minutes ago.

This morning was very stressful after making a few phone calls and being told I had to have this, that, and buy this and then have this programmed I was losing my optimism. A big thanks to Scott at de-stroked for telling me to forget all of that, just hook three wires up and it will run. Bingo!!

Here are some pics I took after bolting the engine in. I am going to need a hood scoop. I had to locate the engine high to clear the panhard bar for the front diff. I fabricated the passenger side motor mount, the factory Benz one would not work. I bolted 1/4" plate to the engine, welded 1 1/4" square tubing to it, and welded a 10mm nut to the tubing. The nut sits on the factory Benz motor mount pad. The motor mount brackets are 4"angle iron, 1/4" thick. I still need to get a drop pitman arm. I modified the radiator support to accept the 4.0 radiator. The engine and trans are bolted together. The transfer case is in, driveshafts connected. I enlarged the fuel tank filler and connected the fuel lines. I am going to finish the shift linkages and start on the wiring tomorrow.

I have been known to have a few stupid moments, but I am really wanting to investigate the possibility of selling off my ECM, CP3, and heads ect. for a chance to get back to a 12 valve system with the mechanical P7100 pump. Since I have been running this 24v I just so miss running my old veggy oil mixes during the nice spring/summer/fall weather here in Michigan.
Anyone have experience in this?
Anyone have use for these 24v parts?
I bought this 03 because I needed the room the 4-door cab offers, but i really miss, well here is the truth. Between homemade Biodiesel and veggy oil, I would go for month's without ever pulling up to a pump to fill my truck.....Now that's the life. And hey I even love the smell............:yeah:

My current ride is a '95 Chevy k2500 with the 7.4 gasser/auto. This truck has been a very good truck and tows well. The down side is that it gets 10-11 mpg hwy and probably 8-ish in the city. I will be selling/trading this truck in the near future and I'm trying to plan ahead and start gathering parts for a swap. My question is; can I get 25 mpg in the city from a full size truck with some sort of diesel engine? I'm not really interested in the popular cummins swaps but I don't know what all engines are available to swap. I'm not going to hot rod the truck but it will need to be a daily driver in the city. My only requirements are that it be smooth running and not real loud. Any one have any ideas on what a good engine would be? Am I asking for the impossible? Don't hold back on your thoughts on this. My goal is to have a nice truck that gets great mileage. Thanks!!

PS.
I'm open on make and model of truck as long as its a full size 4x4. ]]> Diesel Engine Conversions wes-in-nc http://www.dieselbombers.com/diesel-engine-conversions/35502-25mpg-city-possible-full-size-pickup.html gas/diesel conversion http://www.dieselbombers.com/diesel-engine-conversions/35496-gas-diesel-conversion.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 01:46:57 GMT I have a '92 dodge van 350 and '92 dodge 350 diesel truck.
