The body on our '89 cummins has fallen out from around it (as expected), this truck is a 5 speed getrag 2wd, NIC. I have found a donor truck, a 2002 2500 v10 5 speed that I would like to put the 12 valve into. Has anybody done this on here? Here is what I know I need to change so far.
2nd gen motor mounts
exhaust system (upgrading it)
fuel system-lines and tank?
-will a tank from gas truck be usable with diesel fuel? heard mixed comments on this
Radiator-using same one from '89
??conversion plate to nv4500??
My main question right now is what is needed when putting a 1st gen infront of a nv4500?? Is it just an adapter plate or do I need a different bellhousing?
What kind of electrical nightmares am I going to run into, even though 1st gens have little electric. Any problems with PCM or KSB.
Right now I just want to know what I need to get the motor in the truck in stock form, then go from there. I will though be installing the KDP kit, 5th gear upgrade, upgrade clutch while all is apart.
Lets hear what yall got to say, am i missing anything or should know about anything? Give me a warm welcome
