gauges wont work & gearing issues my first cummins in need of some help.?
I just bought my 99 dodge 2WD 5 speed.. It used to be a gas truck and a body shop built it for towing, They put a 97 cummins motor and tranny in it it has 150hp injectors and new turbo (32lbs.) but for some reason with the stock 5 lug rear end it just seems to be really low geared ??? Any advice for me without swapping to a diesel rear end? And the rmp gauge and the odometer doesn't work the previous owner said that the shop he took it to said something about the pcm/ ecm?? other then that it seems to run great with no probs....

lik i told ya in chat, a stock half ton axle wont hold up to the torque of the diesel engine. as far as the tach and speedo not working, thats something we cant help with with out knowing the truck, and seeing how the shop that did the swap made them work, or if they ever did work.
hope ya get it figured out

The truck is 2wd.... So i cant just put taller gears in it? the previous owner said it has only went through 1 rear end since the conversion which was 3 years ago.?
