    Engine swap

    Okay for a swap the best engine is a 1st gen cummins 12 valve out of a 1st gen pickup. The reason being they don't need a computer or intercooler. if you get a late 12 valve or any 24 valve you will need computer, intercooler, it's wise to swap gauges beacause the tach won't be right for gas vs...

    Dodge Ram 2500 Magnum - Cummins

    To be totally honest you'd be ahead to buy a cummins pickup and sell your gas one. I've looked into doing the swap myself and for me I couldn't justify the expense and time. However, if you are determined to do the swap you will need intercooler if you get a late 12 or any 24 valve. Early 12...

    Hey Thanks for the replies guys, you helped me make up my mind. Going to go pick it up in the morning but i'm not going to be pulliing it around much until i get a better transmission or a different trailer pulling rig.

    2500 5.9 V8 pulling 25 foot gooseneck

    I think its 12k stock. I have overloads and a shift kit in it already for my bumper pull, this trailer is a steal at 1500 bucks because the guy doesnt want to pull it across the country since he is moving. I may buy it, yank it home and let it sit until I have a single axle semi or 1 ton cummins.

    2500 5.9 V8 pulling 25 foot gooseneck

    Hey all, so I have a 2500 automatic with 4.10 gear ratio, just wondered if a 25 foot flatbed gooseneck is too much for this thing. found a screaming deal on a trailer but don't have a diesel to pull it with at the moment. any insight from someone that may have done this before would be...

    Radiator, and puke tank empty...

    Yea check for water in the oil in the engine. But I had a similar issue with mine when i first bought it, I would fill it up and it would slowly disappear over like a month and a half or so. Finally on a snowy day a tiny drop of antifreeze showed up on the ground and I found just the littlest...

    Horn problems

    Horn problems

    do the horn relay's on these pickups tend to go bad a lot? my horn isn't working either and I'm thinking of just throwing one of those on and seeing if that fixes it

    Bumper Bracket

    oh ok, that's good to know. I got to thinking about it last night, I've got a cowgirl that wants my bumper and grill guard for driving through the brush and i want to go back stock so i'm just going to switch them out for her, but I got to wondering if I was going to get into any airbag wires...

    Bumper Bracket

    okay another question, where are the airbag sensors on these things? are they the accelerometer type or is there some kind of crush sensor in the bumper or something that mine doesn't have?
