My new to me truck...


Dinner

Recommended Posts

Bought this truck last weekend, then picked it up yesterday. So far it is stock except for a DSS Steering Stabilizer that was thrown on by the previous owner. Has a few things that need to be done to the body, but other than that it is a pretty clean truck. Going to be swapping parts from my dually over to this thing as time goes on. First thing will be a fully built transmission, then head studs and o-rings. Once I get those 2 things done then I'll start adding the fuel to it. But yea, here are a few pictures, enjoy.

Didn't take any pictures of the passenger side since the sun made it too dark.

Nice. What are you doing with your other truck?

 

I'm going to be using it for parts as of right now. Probably pull the engine and tear it down for shits and giggles. I might also use the block off my dually so that I can mock up a twin set up easily.

 

That is an excellent truck. I drive an 03 Cummins myself, it is the best truck I have ever owned! You will love that thing, are you going to put it on veggie oil?

 

No, no veggie oil, if anything I will mix 2 stroke oil with my fuel.

 

I'm excited to start building it up though, stock trucks are so slow :laugh:

Got around to swapping my gauges over from the Dually. Had to wait for a new A-Pillar mount to come in which took a bit. So far only Boost and Tranny are functioning since I havn't swapped over my HT Turbo/Exhaust Manifold (don't feel like drilling and tapping my stock exhaust manifold for EGT Gauge) and AirDog lift pump.

What tranny you going to go with? 4 wheel drive boost launches are fucking cool. At a minimum go with the billet output, cause you know you're gonna race it at least once or twice :evil:

 

I will be going with a tranny from Dave at Goerend. Will be getting the regular built transmission plus a few other goodies, but I'm just not 100% yet on what I should go with. Either Tranny + Billet Flex and Billet Input.....Or....Tranny+ Billet Flex and Billet Output. Reason being for the input is at least if the output breaks (I don't do very many boosted launches) it is easier to replace than the Input. Then again I might cancel the Billet Flex, and get both Billet In and Out...hmm decisions :geek: The other thing too that might catch me is Labour (though a tranny place should be able to R&R fairly quickly). I live quite aways away from Dave so purchasing a tranny and getting is shipped here would be huge amounts of $$$$$$$. So I figure I might as well drive to him, or one of his installers and get it done over a weekend (hopefully).

 

Looks good dinner! I was looking for a truck a lot like that one when I ended up with my 06. I'm still partial to the older body style, 94-02.

 

Thanks!

 

For a bit I was looking towards 03-04, but wasn't finding too much. And apparently the 03's have quite the fuel system/injector issues. Also, the price of bombing out a CR is pretty pricey compared to the VP44 24 Valve.

Since you are in canada why not go with bill over at DTT. I havent' kept up on the auto world, but for a while he was the shit. I drove a couple of his trans and were very impressed. I have heard good stuff about goerend however.

 

Bill over at DTT, where is he located?

 

I know quite a few people with Goerend and DTT trannies and they seem to be very happy.
