I'm planning a 92 reg cab 250 12 valve w/ an Allison 545 hooked to it and p pumped, any tips or thoughts

 

If you can't pick up anything from this thread full of pics, you shouldn't be attempting the swap

 

what he said

 

I know I can do it I was wondering if theirs anything that you may have done different if you'd do it again.

 

Idk I wouldn't really give advice because my build is so much different than normal conversions.

 

So last night I was looking for a 24v throttle cable, went to Napa and they'd have to order it but I picked up the Ford 7.3idi throttle cable just to have something to stare at, last resort, I went to Dodge and ordered one, 50 some odd dollars and it will be here Tuesday.

Then the inventive wheels stated turning in my head and i decided I'd blend the Dodge Ram socket onto the Ford cable.

Here is my mold of JB Weld







Bam! sanded down





The strap screwed to the outside is for safety reasons if there ever is a failure of some kind.



Fummins throttle cable!



Cummins apps housing



Made a little notch for the Ford cable to snap into

 

Cover back on







So after that was done I had one final idear on why the no bus kept coming up....

Pulled out the auto pcm harness and noticed the ground wire, THAT was the ******* problem! god damn



But happy that's done

 

Only revs to about 2k rpm's and I still have a check engine light but I'll have to do my homework on that.



Ground on the manual harness in the truck that was the fix for the gauge problems

 

 

Lovin it! Keep it coming!
