Can you post (lots of pics) of wiring and what goes where?

Nice looking dually! I like the MAST Motorsports front plate 😊

I see I have some people watching I hope I don't disapoint anyone, The Mast Motor Sport plate was on there because My buddy that I got the truck from works for Mast, From what I understand the wiring is supposed to be simple it has to have an external regulator for the alternator because the original was controlled by the computer, but of corse after buying a regulator I found a conversion kit for the alternator, and I'm using the Dodge A518 overdrive trans which was also controlled by the computer so I bought a contraption that is supposed to make it work, and for motor mounts there appears to be 3 kinds 1. 4x4 mounts 2. mounts that bolt to the block then to the chevy frame mounts 3. and the ones I bought which bolt to the Chevy frame and to the Dodge isolators and engine motor mounts and they are supposed to keep the oil pan flush with the cross member, Gonna use the Dodge radiator, intercooler, and a/c condenseor and only minor beating of the fire wall and reshaping of the pinch weld on the trans tunnel but that is using an adapter plate with Chevy trans so I don't know if it will be better or worse but it's nothing that hasn't been done just maybe not all at one time

Well made a tiny little bit of progress yesterday hopefully things will start picking up steam I think we are going to take 2 inches out of the oil pan for a little extra ground clearance so stay tuned

Well change of plans gonna sell the 5.9 and find a 6.0 and 4l80 I can pretty much do that on my own I'm ready to get this truck back on the road

Darn...was hoping to see a 2wd Cummins swap...

[918733]

The motor is just sorta sitting there right now should be there permanently by the end of the day

[aggie91]

back to the cummins? Did you get any progress pictures? I would like to see a pic of the mounts you used.

[918733]

I found another problem and I'm wondering if anyone could help identify what this mess used to be

[aggie91]

That looks like the idle solenoid and relay for when the AC comes on. The rod in the solenoid would push on the throttle lever on the carb when the AC was turned on.

This is weird the a/c worked great I don't know if I should do away with it or what.

I saw a truck this same color combo with a cummins swap pop up on facebook for sale...Is it yours?
