Re: Project Family Chummins

I've made some pretty quick progress on the teardown of the dodge.

Got the fenders, front bumpers, core support out of the way first.





Then I got the doors off, the seat out, and the shifters out.

I must say I really do not like Dodge's wiring in comparison to GMs. For the doors, I had to pull all of the wiring out of the door since apparently there isn't a connector somewhere in the door or kickpanel to disconnect it all. It also appears that the firewall is the same way, so I'm probably going to have to cut/disconnect wires before I pull the cab.

I'm getting close to pulling the cab. I still need to disconnect the brakes, clutch, throttle cable and then pull the mounting bolts. Oh, still have to get the hood off.

One of my big problems is I'm out of space. I have the crew cab in the garage as well as the dually bed. The short bed is in front of my trailer (which I want to put the crewcab frame on). I'm thinking I'm going to have to have some help to move the beds and dodge cab around, behind my garage. I wish I could sell some of this stuff faster, but craigslist is slow (oh yeah, I also have 2 engines, 2 trannies, and some other parts for sale taking up garage space).
