guys,i been driving cummins over the years,but now i own/am building my own,its a 2nd gen 12v-bta-1997-going in a 1977 dodge w200/unimog hybrid

it will be a keeper-what specialist tools might i need to keep my hummin cummins happy over the course of the years?

i just need another excuse to buy some tools-it has been said that civilisation was started with tools-it,s what i tell her anyhow.

 

Snap on SP-500 timing set

And a compression tester

 

I know a timing kit will be my next tool purchase

 

Timing kit is pretty sweet! Got one in my collection

 

well,i got a price for a snap on kit here in england-i guess i will buy one next year when im back racing at BONNEVILLE salt flats,made a clutch alighnment tool out of nylon-easy and makes the job so easy.

 

Also a barring tool is a nice thing to have but not completely necessary

 

You are going to post pictures of the Mog right? I'd love to have one!
I think the timing kit is the only item that I would say is a mandatory, I've got the injector slide hammers (more of a pain in the butt than anything) and just about every factory dodge service tool known for these trucks and I only use basic the timing kit, compression gauges and fuel gauges. I'll be glad to get the timing kit for you, but I'm not sure about getting it to you.

 

hi, thanks for the info,feel free to quote me,i can have stuff shipped to florida and we take it from there,if it works out i will do all my parts needs with you,as i have a lot to get for this build-

i got a few pictures in my w200 cummins build thread,although not too much to look at at the moment-in diesel conversions.

 

I'll drop you a PM on a timing kit Thursday
