MegaCruiser build (3rd gen Dodge 2500 Megacab)

[mr.duc]

Hey all,

I'm finally going forward with building my 2009 Dodge Cummins Megacab.

Current sepcs on truck:

170k
6.7 Cummins diesel
6 Speed Auto
Stealth DPF delete
Anarchy EFI Live tune
ARB bumper
Yokohama Geolander 37x12.50R17
2.5" front lift
Bilstein shocks
Rear firestone airbags
Powerwagon fender frares
3.73 gears

Plan for future:

Longer control arms
Rear shackles
3" Thuran front springs
4:88 gears
Front ARB locker, rear Detroit locker
Red Top steering box with hydroassit
Poly performance track bar
Steering box brace
Rear bunker tire carrier
Roof rack.
Maybe a manual transmission swap when the the auto goes out
Cut out fenders flares; either Arctic trucks or AEV. The AEV flares will need to be modified as they are only made for 4th Gen. Another option is to have glass pre-runner front flares and rear bed sides.

Here are some pics of current truck and one from Arctic trucks with said flares.

That's a good looking truck you got there. Glad to see anther full sized diesel guy here. There seems to be more and more of us every day

Nice ride, I have a 2003 dodge with the cummins. Wouldn't trade it for anything. How you liking the EFI?

Like the others have said; Good looking truck.

Any plans for exploration travel?

Thanks... EFI live is great. Deleting the emission really helped with gas mileage; about 20 mpg on 37's with mixed driving. oh, and its a little bit faster wink wink

 

[mr.duc]

Yes these things are overlooked for expedition travel

************ truck! Are you getting about 20 mpg on mixed driving?

I am happy to see another full-size diesel truck, it appears more and more people are realizing the appeal lately.

I believe the Mega Cruiser has been done, but with a different platform.

Good to hear. I have a 2003 with a smarty. Did wonders for my truck. Near future I'm going with the 6.7
