Re: The 88 Crew Cab build
I can't wait to help this thing get back on the trails. It was a VERY capable rig in it's day. I'm sure you'll make it even better.

Re: The 88 Crew Cab build
Let me know when it's time to swap the 4l80e in, minus the E. You'll love the OD in that thing!

Re: The 88 Crew Cab build
Got the Transgo kit for the 4L80 lastnight, I have a friend that is going to help me install it.
I'll take pics as we go for the build thread. Starting the Crawler build thread as well so check that out ! The Dana 44 in the Crew is comming out and going into the Crawler, the reason for this is because the Borg Warner Transfer case I got with the 4L80 is drivers drop. The 10 bolt in the crawler is in good shape but the Dana is pretty much new minus the Gears. So I'll be throwing Pics areound as I go !!! |

Re: The 88 Crew Cab build
You could solve that small dilemma by putting a 1991 2500 suburban np241 in and have passenger side drop

Re: The 88 Crew Cab build
A Dana is a Dana in my world! Doesn't matter what it came from, only how you can make it work in your application.

Re: The 88 Crew Cab build
I agree, parts is parts. The challenge is finding what you want and make it fit/work.
I have always liked the crewcab duallys and will build one when the Dodgeit body falls apart around my 12 valve. I found a six full door in town that I would love to have. Wife put a squash on that quickly. Something about too many projects already... Posted via Mobile Device

Re: The 88 Crew Cab build
What a productive weekend !! Took the 4l80 over to 67_SS396 and he is going to install the transgo kit for me, pulled the 454 out of his short bed so he can get started on getting the other engine installed ! I started the tear down my Crew for the Diesel swap. I know I know it's not the allmighty CUMMINS !! but hey I am looking for good MPG and for the truck to still do it's truckly duties !! So .. A "J" code 6.2 with 17,000 original miles should do nicly !! on a 4L80 and 4:56 gears it will do what ever I need it too and get 20+ MPG doing it !

Re: The 88 Crew Cab build
Dang man, you do work quickly! My leg should be much better tomorrow so I can get the trans finished up for you! I want to have it back to you by wed night.
Keep up the great progress! Do you need me to bring by some of my spare parts you need? I know it can be tough running erands with only one vehicle. Plus, it would give me a chance to try driving a little more. I gotta get back up to speed as it looks like I'll have to drive the Dodge pulling Buster to Gilmer in a couple weeks.

Re: The 88 Crew Cab build

Re: The 88 Crew Cab build
The pics keep getting away from me sorry.
So 67_SS396 get's half way through installing the Transgo kit for me and sends me a message that says " This kit is missing parts" ! So after 3 days of fighting with who is going to send me what's missing, the parts should arrive tomorrow. The 6.2 is in and I am just lacking a few little things to get it going. This swap was not that bad, just a few .. Well I thought that would work's ! and I'm on to 20+MPG'S baby ![]() |

Re: The 88 Crew Cab build
What a find my friends. I needed a starter for my 6.2, so I hopped on CL and found one and called the guy up. He gave me the time to be there and I proceeded to make my way up there. After arriving, I chatted with the old boy a few minutes and he showed me the starter and that it worked. He then preceedes to tell me he has a bunch of 6.5 turbo prats as well, I asked him what he had and the price for it? He asked me how much cash I brought with me, and I told him 80 bucks. He said and I quote " sounds good for whats back there in the shop".
We open the doors and there were a ton of parts. He told me to take what I needed !! So here is what I got for 80 Bucks: 1. Turbo 2. Manifolds 3. Heads from the 6.5 "Complete" 4. Rocker arm covers 5. Rockers 6. Push rods 7. Alternator 8. Water pump 9. Front cover 10. Brackets for the serp kit thats on 6.5's 11. Starter I have included a few picks of the score ! ![]() Let me know thoughts ! |

Re: The 88 Crew Cab build
I would say that's a good score. The turbo and manifolds are worth what you gave IMO. I still chuckle that you had all those parts in the trunk of that little car.
