Re: K30 Downgrade to Cummins Project

List of things to do soon:

- Buy reman starter and return the wrong one I got for a 2nd gen.
- Return used alternator for core charge refund
- Finish welding on trans x member and paint it
- Paint newly done engine x members
- Find a new dipstick and or tube (its not sealing, its loose around the handle
- Figure out how to install the clutch pedal setup or if its easier to just fab one up and
use dodge clutch master cylinder.
- Wait for new steering box to arrive (old one had side to side play on output shaft
- Weld on steering box brace once it arrives
- Drop and clean fuel tanks
- Replace rubber sections of fuel lines
- Figure out which downpipe setup to buy
- Call diesewrencher about getting the heater lines that bolt to manifold and towhooks
(or you could just email me back Ryan lol)
- Get the shop to give me a price on Getrag rebuild and info on the quality of their parts
- Clean old crud off bellhousing and adapter plate- yuck
- Order intercooler piping and elbows
- Finish welding and paint custom engine accesory brackets
- mount new engine accessories
- Install front airlift bags

Yep a lot to do. Tell me its worth it! So much to do and still more to spend.
