Diesel Bombers - Dodge RAM 3500 DRW - New and improved COMPOUND TURBO !

It started out as a disgustingly ugly Dodge RAM 2500HD 1995 12valve in 2010...

Bought it in a hurry because i had to pull my E39 535i on a car trailer to a big autmotive event that year , but the plan was abandoned as the rear leaf spring shackles fell apart from rust and after i had that fixed, i quickly decided to see if I could not make a "SUPER Cummins" truck from it...

One thing led to another and in each step it became more powerful and better, until the 2500 body gave in, and was past restoration, so i immediately began looking for another body , finding one that was not rotted out was becoming a handful, and after i just missed this RAM 3500 Dually, I found a 1500 gasser RAM that I bought and quickly started swapping components...

The 1500 was always intended as a test tube until I could find another host for my powertrain, whether it was a classy looking Chevrolet , Ford or Dodge. After a whole summer of endless 0-170mph runs, a brake line blew and the ugly duckling ended it's life on a fuel pump at a local gas-station. Just appreciate that nobody was walking between the car and pump, and that it did not happen at high speeds.

Immediately i was out on the look for a new host for my Cummins, found a 2006 Ford F350 that had been stripped to pieces... no interior... no axles... no powertrain... semi-perfect, but then again not... luckily... it was not for sale...

Decided to contact the owner of RM973 (the dually truck that I had missed out on two years earlier) and agreements were reached on making a switch with a KTM Enduro bike that I had, and there we have it. A few hours later this beautiful Dually with only 60.000 miles on it was sitting in my driveway with no powertrain. Engine, Tranny and Transfer case had been swapped into a Nissan Patrol Y60...

What it looked like when i bought it:

While i was waiting for parts for my engine to arrive from overseas, i bought this and that and tricked out my truck. I fitted 285/75R16 E-Load tires, painted the rims black, bought a new set of lights and hubcaps, had it buffed and shined to the best looks it has had in years:

LED tail-lights can't go wrong:

I also have these headlights for it, but haven't got around to fit them, work has been killing me:

at the same time i bought the hubcaps, i also bought these shirts for the wife:

What i'm looking to buy to finish my transmission:
TCS or Suncoast 300M billet input, intermediate & output shafts
6 pinion front planetary and 4pinion rear planetary
looking at a Suncoast triple disc w/ stock stall speed...

Hope i can make crazy boosted launches without breaking anything but maybe driveshafts...

And if i don't do good enough on the strip, i'll keep my laughing gas handy...
