Bought a 92 318, 518, transfer case, matching axles, wiring harness tonight for it so I can use the Cummins in my Crew cab. Anybody know how much difference there is in the dash wiring from a 93 diesel to a 92 gas?

Can't find a cheap enough Cummins donor and need a motor for the crew.

Daughter looks thrilled to be there! :lol:

I love those wheels, saw some on FB and got all excited before I realized they didn't have enough bolt holes. :(

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.

I couldn't pass it up. I got all the drive train except the rear driveshaft, all the engine bay wiring, computer and wheels/tires for $700.

She was yelling at me because I'm sick and wouldn't come inside. I think they are the sharpest wheels for these trucks.

I looked at that picture 4 times, and it took Pete mentioning it for me to realize she was there

The Roo Hunter: 93 w250, lifted, 2 whistle machines, and a bunch of other go fast goodies, uhh..... not there yet

I sold the dump so I don't need it now Jeff. The crew already has one under it.

Well as of now all I believe I need to get the Dodge swapped is the rear driveshaft and radiator. I learned today if you cut the front part of a Dodge frame off it becomes a sub frame. :mrgreen:
