At frist sorry my bad English, I will explain as good as I can.
One picture is equal to 1000 words.:evil
NOTICE: this instructions are for 3 inch bodylift only !!!
When I ordered my body lift kit , this time 2 gen body lift kits were available only for gas trucks. (maybe now they are available for diesel also, I do not knew)
To install this kit is very easy, istructions are clear, but you have to remember they are made for truck with gas engine.!
In passanger side you have to rotate elbow from turbo to intercooler.
In driver side, I cut of approc 2 inch (1.5- 2.0 is oK) from intercooler metal tube (its between intercooler and intake manifold)
With 3 inch body, I thougt its better remove tranny cooler from engine side and to make room for future twins project. (coolant and tranny hose brackets will be added soon :kick
Now I have plenty of room under hood
The biggest disadvantage with this kit, you must cut fan shroud or you must replace stock mechanical fan with set of electric fans.
I have read from Internet, Cummins fan uses 27KW and it pushes aroun 10500cfm, but biggest electric kit is around 5500cfm .
With only 50% of flow and $500+ shipping to Europe , it was too much for me.
I decide to lift fan bearing assembly from block to cyl head, I meade little bit mesuring and it looke possible to do.
Like you see, only upper bolts will line, lower are way off .
Thanks to Cummins who have created cast iron fan bearig assembly, it was possible to cut off material and cut new bolt holes to accept cyl.head bolt pattern.
My biggest questions:
1. will the new bearing location rub with upper radiator hose
2. will the fan fit to new location (body is lifted 3 inch , but fan is now little higher)
3. can I find new and longer fan belt
Radiator hose do not contact with fan bearing , fan is in center of shroud and I found new belt. :woohoo:
Original fan belt lenght is 206cm (with AC) and its type: 8PK2055
new belt is 218cm and it type : 8PK2190
Next step : maybe is time to install front bumper ?
Last time I drive my truck in public roads was last year october.:doh:
