Rebuilding my '07 CC dually after an engine fire. I'll be posting updates here as I go. I have a good base to start from but still have a ways to go so I'm open to ideas and suggestions. I live in the DFW now so I don't plan on using this for a daily anymore. Pics are from before and after the fire.
2007 Dually Ppump 24v build
- Thread starter CGilley
- Start date
Pulled the CR with dual CP3s and ATS compounds along with the full billet Suncoast 48re. Wiring is completely toast so I am planning on going back with an '02 24v that I previously fire ringed and threw on a Piers stupid pump. I am still stuck between refreshing the 48re and using a manual vb or going with a nv5600.
I'm also in need of some fuel lines for the Ppump 24v. I originally had some .120 lines from Haisley but sold them when I didn't plan on using the engine anymore.

I still haven't pinpointed the culprit of the fire but it started from the middle area of the engine bay and the smoke when it first started smelled like a burning oil and fuel mixture. I just haven't figured out what could have actually ignited it unless the hood liner dropped on the small turbo and smoldered or something.

I just see what was a compound turbo, dual CP3, CR truck and cant imagine anyone being impressed with the way a p-pump engine is going to drive around town compared to that.

Roger that. LOL
It's just something I have already. I've also been considering finding a donor truck to just replace everything electrical and drop the CR back in it. I just don't know for sure the ECM is still usable after the fire. It's not burned but the harness burned right up to the plug.
Another idea I've had:
I'm purchasing an early '04 single cab 6 Spd 4x4 soon that would probably be a lot of fun with the 07's CR in front of it...
After thinking about what you said, I'm sitting here looking for the harness and accessories. I might as well drop a cam and springs in it while its out
I guess it comes down to if I can find a donor truck to find all of the parts I need. I need to find a new TIPM and body harness anyways, and for what they cost I might be better off finding a totaled truck for to part out and use what I need.
Either way I go, I definitely plan on using the P pump in something. I think I could have a lot of fun with that 13mm Piers pump in whatever it goes in lol.
