i have an 03 w/ a 5 speed. I just replaced my injectors, lift pump, transfer case, and everything. I had the return line on the back of my head get a hole in it. tired of working on this thing over and over. I know that in a few weeks i'll have to replace something else and i'm sick of it. So I'm wondering how hard it would be to put a reliable motor in my pickup?

 

What are you doing with the truck? putting a new engine in it will be more $$$$ in the end, you can make a CR reliable over 500hp easy

 

i don't really care about the power i care about getting to work and back and my commonrail is really letting me down. at least a 12v you could usually make it work to get there and back but with the commonrail it's all or nothing. tired of breakdowns but i love the way my pickup looks.

 

so my commonrail just galled a piston at 200k(which is bs) so now i'm doing the swap i got everthing figured out except the electrical. ik that is the hardes part. can anybody help me please.

 

i cant find anybody that does that zach. still looking though

 

I love my CR.... Anyways Jeff Garmon did this to a half ton 03 and it all worked. He never went into detail on his posts how he did it but it can be done somehow the whole dash is run by the computer. Sounds like fun... Not

 

ya it doesn't look like much fun either. hate my commonrail miss my 12v. you could buy some parts for sale off of my commonrail right now haha. I'm slowly putting it together but i'll git'r done.

 

what parts you got for sell of your commonrail i sold my 97 cummins for a 03 cummins hope i didnt mess up i know my 97 alway got the job done pm me everything you got for sell and wat you want for them

 

Sucribed wanna see how this goes

 

well i have everything on the motor for sale, except the turbo. has reman injectors with 3k miles on them, if anybody wants to buy them i'll have them pop tested and everything. it still runs just knocks. I can put a sound clip on here if you want . my brothers driveway looks like the gulf oil spill where it blew my rear main seal out. I might have to keep the a/c compressor and alternator depending on if they can be converted or not. but i believe starting this weekend i will be pulling the motor out and going about the schematics and rewiring so i don't have my cel on all the time. and if it is i'll take the bulb out . i have the nv4500 so the tranny should bolt up ok. this will be time consuming and i'll actually enjoy it. if ya'll want i guess i can post pictures of this throughout the process.
