Shouldn't have spent so much on the Purple (I mean test) truck.

Most everything done to the purple truck was a trade/sell/buy process. I haven't dumped any real money into it for a long time.
 
So I picked up the HD fab truck. Going to swap the dually motor into it. Got it pulled last night at toolman's shop, and got it home where I'm going to start cleaning it next week. Still just need a converter and injectors and it's ready to go.

Gonna need lots of cleaning...

Cummins... Built to leak oil. I'm excited to see where this goes, and of course the carnage.
 
After you're done cleaning that why don't you come clean my garage. I'm still finding soot flakes in it LOL

My goal is to build the first ever leak free cummins. It's going to take a Mumau sponsorship, but I think we have the technology.

If there is road trips, I'm in.
 
What stall you guys think I should get the converter? It's a 3200lb truck with an 83/92/1.0 T4 single, and I will be using a line-lock. I was thinking at least 2500.

I would consult a torque converter specialist. Rather than a buch of guys who have never done what you are doing. Morrison uses DPC right...he's got the closest similar set-up I woild guess.
 
I talked to a builder, and at first they said 2300, until I told them I lock up in 2nd and I'm running a larger single, then they said go with a 2500. So I guess I'll try that, if it doesn't work so well, then I'll go straight to 3000.
 
2500 still seems a tad low to me, but this is a first for me, so I know I may be way off.
 
360,xxx when pulled last week. Perfect cross hatching in all 6. A couple pistons had chunks of crap I'm gonna call carbon, because i can't see any thing wrong with anything.
