Ill go with the short version on a lot of this. Basically, bought big ugly black truck for the drivetrain. Got it running. Ran pretty good. Wanted something lighter/quicker/smaller as I dont pull anything but 1 race car on an open trailer. Bought ugly easter egg green/teal 1/2ton truck. In process of doing the swap. I have the build on a local forum, but I figured you guys may appreciate it and have some input for me along the way. Buying the 1ton truck was the first time I had seen a cummins motor in person. I jumped in head first and have learned a lot over the past year or so and still have much more to learn. I dont have the fab skills that some members have on here so this will seem pretty basic to you guys. The goal of this truck is not to turn an outstanding 1/4mile time, but simply to have a streetable truck that may run down a few folks on the interstate. On to the pics.
24v block with Mahle pistons, 12v rods and stock crank w/ ARP hardware.
Head is fire ringed
Colt stage 4 cam and tappets with valve springs, retainers, etc etc.
ARP head studs
Current pump is 12mm benched at 500cc by Scheid
S364 over S480, dps 3 piece manifold
Airdog 200
7x014 injectors
nv5600 6spd
Southbend twin disc clutch
In the last year or so I have replaced the head gasket, swapped injection pumps, injectors, fixed oil leaks etc etc.
Sold the black truck pictured as a roller. Picked up the fine teal green machine as a fully functioning truck. Sold the gas motor/trans out of it over thanksgiving weekend. Now I am collecting parts to continue the swap.
When I brought it home (from Pendleton, IN)
Few pics of engine tear down and escaped head gasket probably due to lack of retorques.
Pulled the turbo stuff off
Used Cerakote air cure on all the hot stuff.
