    Cummins or Cadillac?

    Absolutely guys, they work great. Drill and tap the exhaust manifold 18 x 1.5mm and screw the O2 sensor right in. It really is pretty easy and you don't even need to do any custom wiring, if you have a good dyno tuner you can get a custom prom burned for it too, probably have to damn near find...

    Cummins or Cadillac?

    Having done both conversions the Caddy is dead simple with mostly factory parts, big block TBI will also work, just change the PROM and the TBI unit itself from a truck of the same year with a big block, GM parts guy with a little more than schooled knowledge would be able to help, I made a...

    The Dirt Sherpa Build

    My old 2004 Ram diesel had 485 000 KM on it and was just starting to nickel and dime me beyond the value of a new truck payment, just as I was about to but a new Ram another 2004 popped up for sale, garage stored 2004 diesel with only 70 000 Km on it so I jumped on it immediately just from the...

    The Dirt Sherpa Build

    Well where I live…..just might happen! Nice to see the truck choice. I was really leaning towards a Toyota recently as I don't use the capacity of my 2500 Diesel as much as I used to, but as soon as I find a nice Toyota I need my diesel for a big job, your experience has pretty much ended...

    This would make an awesome Camper!

    That was on the governor, and I cannot recall what it was, was about a month ago. 60 mph is pretty comfortable. I got lucky, 2 were very clean, new engines, rads, transmissions, t case, tires, cab on one, they passed commercial vehicle inspections no problem. Had the luxury of a friend in...

    What's a XM756? Curious, I just bought 3 M932A2's for the chassis, they will hit 70MPH no problem, nice trucks.

    2WD Expedition vehicle

    Still running a 2WD, good tires, locker, in a F-650. Grew up feeding 450-500 cows in a 3/4 ton 2WD, chains in the winter.

    General Grabber tires?

    Bought a set for my Tahoe, will be going on all my other trucks now (AT2), BFG A/T's and Dura Tracs until now, like the Generals a lot better, including heavy snow use.

    This would make an awesome Camper!

    Where do yo go with these big rigs? Well you hook up your trailer loaded with dirt bikes and drag it down any forestry road, find a nice flat spot, unload and explore places a built Jeep would have fits, or hit 12-16 hare scrambles per year. Or you hook up your built Jeep, blast down to Moab...

    C5500 TopKick 4x4 Crew Cab Build

    Looks really good, the doors are easy to adjust, easier than stuff you've already done for sure! I fell in love with the Kanab, Coral Dunes area a couple of years ago on a drive to Phoenix, always said we'd return. Is there a lot of land that is open in the area? We are heading to Moab for EJS...

    1999 Jeep Wrangler 2.2L Kubota diesel swap

    I decided to use a big Delco industrial alternator and I'm just using the key on power wire to excite the field through a diode, I am hoping the voltmeter will function, a local auto electric shop does this often with good results and I just love the reliability of the old Delco's, plus the...

    1999 Jeep Wrangler 2.2L Kubota diesel swap

    Thanks for the info on getting the tach to function, I swapped a 3.3 Cummins into my TJ and had all the wiring figured out from the diagrams, but didn't realize the cam signal need detection, I have the stock trans and flywheel so the crank signal is "factory". Just to clarify you tied the crank...

    What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

    I got a call from AEV that I didn't want, no more high line kits for the TJ's, so they gave me a refund and I bolted on a set of tube fenders I had made before, I prefer the look of the high line fenders but that's life. Started to get all the electrical components and auxiliary components...

    C5500 TopKick 4x4 Crew Cab Build

    Got back a few hours ago, and I'm very happy with the new chassis. Tried out the 4WD, high and low, so far so good. Clearance is great, and the ride is so much smoother than I anticipated, on and off the highway. Gas mileage sucks, however. Got about 8 on this trip $$$$$. You can pay a bit...

    C5500 TopKick 4x4 Crew Cab Build

    Good stuff, I will be painting mine with that when the current finish needs a refresh. Looks really good on that truck, much more proportionate. You'll like the difference in trucks for sure!

    What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

    Got the wiring harness on the TJ done, went from 2.5 4 cyl to 3.3 cummins, hoping that the crank signal actually works the way I figured to keep the gauges all working and the auto shutdown relay functioning as I have the lift pump and injection pump wired in factory configuration. That way if...

    What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

    Bent some tube Fabbed up a fuel tank and skid, Dana 60 moved back 3 inches needed a little extra room. Bent up a cage, don't know if I like it yet, generally I build a nice aluminium dash full of aftermarket gauges and such, lets me run tubes right to the floor, I'm sure the front plates...

    C5500 TopKick 4x4 Crew Cab Build

    Nice truck, you will be more than surprised in the handling and braking upgrade with the bigger chassis.
