G'day from Ontario

G'day, I manage an off-road shop for a small local company, I mostly work on medium to small excavators, dozers, backhoes, skid steers, cranes, aswell as pickups, medium duty/heavy duty trucks, and everything in between.

Currently I drive a 2018 Ram 2500 6.7, and my project truck is a 2001 Ram 3500 24valve auto, building it into a 10ft x 8ft flatbed dually.

I also have many other projects but we'll stick to what I came here for.

I have a 1988 IH DT466 that i want to build up to 400-500 hp for a future project truck. Eaton 10 speed RT6610 behind it when i pulled the engine. Im not sure whether im going to run that 10 speed with a divorced tcase or go with something else later on. Im hoping to start gathering some parts soon, which includes: Oil cooler, P-pump, pump adapter, Injector lines, injectors, turbo (the few i have kicking around are going to be too big for this engine im thinking) and i think thats as far as im going for now

If you think you might have a deal i cannot refuse on some parts, feel free to PM me!

Sounds like a cool project.

Service truck?

Thanks, I'm not entirely sure what i want to put it in yet. I was thinking between a late 70s early 80s Ford dually or going into a medium duty ford and throw a box on the back of the straight frame.

That or I wouldnt mind putting it in a square body GM 3500.

I dont exactly have a plan yet other than its going to be a tow rig and sled puller on the weekend. Planning on shipping something rust free up here as a good starting point. living in the rust belt sucks

Also, i dont know whether you were asking what my service truck is or if i was building one, so its a 99 f350 pos with just enough power to pull a greased prick out of a bucket of lard, incase thats what you were asking lol
