Hello, I am the proud owner of a 94 Ram 2500 V10. though i love the big engines, it has been my dream to own a turbo cummins diesel. I am at the mercy of guru swappers. Can i take my 94 ram and turn it into a diesel, the new motor has some hinks but ill fix them, but before i even buy t, the motor is from a 99 ram with a cummings turbo diesel. will that fit in my 94? both rigs are automatic.

what do i take from the other rig? everything? wires too? do i need to take the fuel lines? do i just take everything and swap it out? mighty swappers, grant me your wisdom! ( please?)

 

The 99 ram is a 24 valve and will be more difficult to swap in. Also you need a diesel trans due to governor speed shift points. I would look for a 12 valve or maybe even p-7100 pump the 24 valve and do away with wiring on the vp-44 off the 24 valve.

 

it has been a long time since i got to update you guys. Due to problems with the irs the Conversion did not happen with that particular truck. I however started thinking, Could i drop the 24V cummings into my 1990 chevy suburban?

let me know! ill post pictures of the suburban so you can see what i am workin with.

 

that you can do, but as stated before it would probably be easier to find a 12valve to swap in or p-pump the 24valve due to all the wiring needed for the 24valve electrinics to work.. the 24valve is an electronic controlled injected pump vp44 the 12valve is all mechanical.. A lot easier in my mind to do the 12valve but if you p-pump the 24valve it wouldnt be to bad just a couple extra thousand $$$$ good luck let us know what happens

 

I think i will have to take you up on that advice, a 12V would be just fine, as long as i could get atleast a twin on it. gotta keep the dream alive I'll let you know what i find!

 

sounds like youve made up your mind let us know how the build goes and the results, hell you could start a build thread over in the show and tell or right here good luck

 

yeah, feels good to have the mental list of what to get all layed out, now to put into action. I am not to familiar with swapping engines in trucs, more so from gasoline to Diesel. i can pull an engine and rebuild the **** out of it, but i would be lying to say i am not at all nervous about the whole project.
