    GetRag Transmission Problems

    Sounds like the 3-4 shift fork to me.

    cummins swap

    You will need a radiator mount from a diesel or you will have to do some fabrication work. The radiator in the gasser will be too far back for the Cummins and the fan will hit. I swapped a Cummins out of a D250 into a Ramcharger a few years ago. You can see some pics and all my notes at This...

    5.9l 1st gen 12v vs idi 6.9/7.3 pros and cons

    In my opinion and experience...If you like being towed go with the IDI. If you like towing then go with the Cummins. I have informed my wife that I will not work on her F350 7.3 IDI any more unless it is to yank it out and replace it with a Cummins. Her F350 is parked right now and will stay...

    Wiring issues w my 91 d250 Eating Voltage regulators

    When you replace it scrape the paint off of the firewall where the screws mount so it will get a good ground. That's what my buddy at the alternator shop told me to do when I was blowing them about every 4- 6 months. It's been over a year now since I replaced the last one. It was so bad at one...

    Gear Vender Hows and whay for a 10 thumber

    Check this thread. I'm not sure if it will fit. I don't know how the adapters come. It's for a Ford but if you can get adapters it may be worth looking at. And it's an over/under drive. Needs solenoid. http://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?t=34912

    Fuel filter housing leak

    94 F350 7.3 IDI There is a wire going into the top of the fuel filter housing and I have air and diesel bubbles around it. What holds this wire on and how do I get it off. I don't want to break anything.....yet. If the housing is cracked is there a better setup than stock?

    Injection pump leaking...badly

    Thanks, Whit. Good information. Understand how something works makes it easier to work on. I also found This Link which has the same photos as the first link I posted but has a little better explanation of the process.

    Injection pump leaking...badly

    Thanks for the replies. It's that EXACTLY part the bugs me. I am confident that I can do it but ever since I've owned the Cummins it has only taken a bump of the key to get her started. I just hope I can get it back that way.

    Injection pump leaking...badly

    Well, I guess it's time to learn how to rebuild a Bosch VE injection pump. It's leaking more than it's burning. Have any of you guys ever rebuilt your own pump? I've got the seal kit and I've got this link VW_Pump_Rebuild . The link is for a pump from a 4 cylinder but should be about the same...

    93 frame crack, steering box

    My 1990 Dodge Ramcharger has been repaired with a kit. It was like that when I purchased it for the Cummins swap. IIRC there are some years of Dodge trucks with recalls regarding the frame cracking at the steering box. A quick search found some recalls on Dakota models. I don't have much...

    Alternator

    It may be the external regulator that is mounted on the firewall. I have replaced mine three times in the last 18 months.

    Cummins rear main seal leaking

    Have you ever noticed that when you CHOOSE to do something to your truck it is always more enjoyable than when you MUST do something to your truck. Oh well, I should just make it a project and rebuild the G360 while I'm at it. It's about due. I'm also going to change the placing of the spacers...

    Cummins rear main seal leaking

    I checked the tube and it's good. Time to pull the transmission.

    Cummins rear main seal leaking

    Well I got the Ramcharger on the road with the Cummins installed. I've been driving it for about a week and enjoying the crap out of it. I get allot of looks from people. But now the rear main seal is leaking like a sieve. I've been told that a plugged draft tube will cause crankcase pressure...

    Cummins Ramcharger conversion

    The brake job was a mess. When I removed the right rear drum all kinds of broken pieces fell out. I had to replace everything inside that drum. Anyway, the brakes are good now. I drove it loaded down with the kids last night over to a friends house. And I drove it to work today. 54 miles...

    Cummins Ramcharger conversion

    The Cummins Ramcharger transplant is complete and the stickers are on!!!!!!! Everything electrical works properly except the Cummins module on the dashboard. I'll have to get the schematics to find out what wires to use for this. But, fuel gage works, speedometer works, battery charge meter...

    Cummins Ramcharger conversion

    Vehicle registration.....:dunno Last week I called the Harris county tax office to find out what steps I needed to take in order to have the Ramcharger registered as a diesel. They told me that as long as the two vehicles involved in the swap were rated lower than 2 tons capacity that I...

    Cummins Ramcharger conversion

    I installed the first part of the drive shaft last night and took measurements for the other half. I also finished installing the shifter in the floor. No time to work on the other half of the drive shaft tonight though. I gotta be home on time so the wife can go to bible study. I'll install the...

    Bought the 86 f350, swap begins

    I'm not sure about the bolt pattern but the E4OD is an electronically controlled transmission. It takes readings from the vehicle speed sensor, the throttle position sensor and the tachometer to execute the shifts.

    Cummins Ramcharger conversion

    By the way, I was surprised to see that the wall of the drive shaft from behind the Cummins is only .089" thick.

    Cummins Ramcharger conversion

    I cut, machined and welded the front part of the two piece drive shaft today. This part will attach to the Getrag yoke. The other end is the slip joint from the D250. I cut it to a stubby length so I wouldn't have to add a carrier bearing. I'll install it and take measurements for the rear part...

    Cummins Ramcharger conversion

    See this link for the step by step process. I took pictures on almost every step. All of the pictures have captions with some explanation. There is also an online document HERE that includes some thoughts and reasons for decisions that I made. The donor and the Ramcharger are 2WD. A conversion...
