Well starting this project here soon. I have a 1987 Dodge Power Ram 350 4x4 currently a carbed 360 backed by a np435 trans mated to an np208 tcase. That powers sent to a decent built dana 70 rear and dana 60 front. Front leaf springs have been upgraded already for a heavier load. Rears are already heavy duty one ton springs with add a leafs and soon to have airbags.
Well about a month back i helped a friend of mine out and in turn for payment he hooked me up with a 5.9 24v cummins from a 1999 3500 dullie. With it i got the computer, wireing harness and everything needed. BTW his family owns a junk yard, i know the truck it came out of. Engine ran great before pulled. My intent here is to swap the cummins into my already somewhat ready truck.
My plans to slowly build up the truck more as things come along. Going with a 5-6 inch exhaust to duel stack out the bed behind the cab. Turbo upgrade and hope to learn some tips and tricks on here to use on my cummins. Still debateing weather to lift the truck yet or not. Oh and forgot to mention i rescued the truck from the junk yard. It was previously a dealerships parts runner truck, they sold it to the yard cause they said it quit running. Come to find out it had a broken power feed wire to the coil. Fixed it and she fired up first try. Id say a good $500 buy. Ill post pics soon.
