Just put a 24v in my F 350 and things are tight. I am using the Dodge radiator and intercooler as opposed to using older/newer Dodge/Ford units.

I have the top of the frame notched so the Dodge radiator and intercooler can sit down lower.

I have them angled back and only really have room to put cooling fans in front of the Intercooler. I can fit 2 or 3 fans in a custom shroud in front without messing with the plastic light and grill support much.

Question is, will the 2 or 3 fans blowing thru the intercooler be enough to cool the radiator too?

I might be taking a look at this dodge and maybe buying it. I just want some opinons on what you guys think. It has a gale banks turbo plate, and intake, and a 4 inch turbo back exhaust. The trans has a suncoast torque convertor and valve body. Fuel filter replaced and lift pump, and the brakes and hubs have recently been replaced. He says he bought the truck with the Gale banks kit on it at 19,000 miles, the truck has 88,000 now. He said he used to pull his car on a trailor and just DD. So let me know what you think, and is the price fair.

I just installed a bypass oil filter in both my Dodge Cummins and my TDI Jetta, and I thought I should let you guys on the forum know of the results. I've been running Rotella T synthetic oil in both engines for quite a while. Just from the financial standpoint I figure it's cheaper to change a toilet paper filter and top off my oil every three months and then change the oil once a year, than it was costing me to change the oil and filter quarterly.

This is the link to the Frantz oil filter company we are talking about Frantz Oil Filters

and the place you can buy them Frantz Filters Manufactured by We Filter It! Inc - Oil, Diesel and Gas Filters . The person I was in contact with was Deborah Walker Harley her e-mail address is DWalkerHarley@wefilterit.com



The kits I ordered came with everything I needed to install them on my truckand car and both kits are completely removable so I can use them on my next car/truck. They are a really high quality made in America product that many people are still using from the 1960s when they were invented, and I can't say enough good about them. My only advice is to get a kit that doesn't require you to puncture the oil pan on your truck (use the oil fill cap or drain plug as the location for the return line) and order plenty of their oil filters (toilet paper rolls) when you place your order so you don't need to pay for shipping a second time when you need more filters.



I am not going to be able to include pictures, because my camera is not working.

I melted down the No.1 hole in my 1st Gen 12valve a few months back and was looking at a bore & sleeve rebuild on it, but I recently came across a fresh factory rebuild motor. It's a medium duty 5.9 12 valve Cummins with P-pump that came in a Ford CF8000 cabover box truck. It has a big Clark 5-speed behind it (I believe) that was also recently rebuilt. I can pick up they whole truck really cheap; they guy needs to get rid of it because the subdivision he lives in is complaining about it.

Before I snag it, I was wondering what the major differences are between the medium duty and light duty Cummins? I know that it has different accessory mounting locations and there is an air compressor instead of a vacuum pump. Is there anything I should be wary of if I tried to pick this up to replace my blown 1st gen? :humm:

Any help would be appreciated.
