Something for you to think about, I’m running a 24v plate which moves the air hole forward to the next set of holes. Hence a few inches further forward

Tank is almost done.. fits perfectly just now have to find a way to hang it. Either weld brackets to the tank and attach to frame..but frame flew could crack tank.. or use some strip metal and use to support tank.the white truck I sold to my buddy.. it was one of my first swaps I super regret selling..owell.

Still trying to figure out this firewall patch number..

Re: 90 crew 1 ton Cummins 47re swap
 

So I dont know if anyone has used spray foam in the fenders or am I the only retard here? Well I know about the rumors of what could happen but I just had to try it out.. so far so good it has really made them sound like a solid fender. My goal from the beginning was to make a comfortable, reliable, truck or I am headed to the dealership..
Headliners suck for the crew cab here in Vegas.. when it's a buck 50 glue melts and they sag. I think I'm going to try the black spray foam in the roof and keep the paint for a clean roof look. Something has to be in the roof (spray foam) or a headliner due to the heat. It gets so hot u can't even touch it from the inside of the truck.
Got the new heater core installed and took out all of the old firewall matting.. boy is that stuff flammable..I took a video of it..

Tank looks beautiful. Is that mig welded?

Re: 90 crew 1 ton Cummins 47re swap
 

Hello,
Got the tank set up.. hard to position by yourself this thing is huge but it does not hang down that low..coat it in raptor liner today. Would like to start it up soon....some other thing still trying to figure out...super pumped about the fenders.. they are super solid with the spray in foam. I am going to also do the whole roof and back part of cab..TIG welded.

Heeded the 14" Bilstein shocks.. Amazon has been really good at all of my returns..

Re: 90 crew 1 ton Cummins 47re swap
 

Back around 2000 one of the military commands tried sprayfoaming the square frames on Hummers to keep the dirt and salt water out. Short lived experiment. All the test frames rotted out way quicker. I wasn't to surprised. It really is no different than guys putting newspaper behind body Bondo. The patch stayed but all the wet mess made the metal adjacent to the repair rust and drop out an even bigger section. If you use foam atleast make sure that it is closed cell so that it doesn't act like a sponge.

Re: 90 crew 1 ton Cummins 47re swap
 

Yea I was just trying out the new black spray foam for RV's and boats. Nothing rust out here in Vegas I will post a pic of my bare metal fire wall on the 54. It's about 4 years old and no rust. Worst case in 5 years I buy new fenders but they are so solid..

Well got 50 gallons of freedom mounted.. might fire her up this weekend...I will try to grab a video of it..

Re: 90 crew 1 ton Cummins 47re swap
 

Nice swap! Curious how you'll be controlling the 47re. I did a similar swap with a 24v and a 47re in my 69 C30 and the stock PCM is giving me security issues I believe. Info on RE swaps seems to be tricky to find.

I was thinking about the stand alone harness on Ebay..have you heard of any reputable stand alone harnesses?

Re: 90 crew 1 ton Cummins 47re swap
 

Well my bottom lights do not fit due to the intercooler.. I can either get a smaller intercooler or can I change my front grille? I dont think it will fit behind my radiator..any help will be appreciated..

Re: 90 crew 1 ton Cummins 47re swap
 

How about go led. I’m sure you can find something aftermarket they right size

Re: 90 crew 1 ton Cummins 47re swap
 

Yeah got her started..2 months behind skeggie but it should be a lil more enjoyable putting everything back together over the next month.. will post some pics later...

Re: 90 crew 1 ton Cummins 47re swap
 

Had to change out my radiator..it was too big. Have all the wiring almost complete. This build was much more work than previous builds... It fired right up the first couple times then I played with the afc live and it smoked out my garage.. so no more starting until I can pull in on my driveway. I think I have about 2 more weeks until I drop it off to get my driveline made. The lower radiator hose configuration is not as smooth as I would like it..that was another reason for the new radiator..

Re: 90 crew 1 ton Cummins 47re swap
 

Awwww man tuff couple days..this virus has been here since late December in Vegas..had many sick people throughout January (gov always a lil behind)..but anyways got the ETRANS CONTROLLER all hooked up. Decided to go without the throttle position sensor and they say works the same.. O boy the trans was making a cavitation sound every time i started her up and couldn't figure why..I guess you have to put the transmission in NEUTRAL in order to get the trans fluid into the torque converter... who woulda thunk?? Well after the research on starting a dry fill transmission that's what you do fyi. Now she idles perfectly smooth.. It sounded as loud as cavitating a fire pumper... going to have to put the truck on hold for now until I can reason spending 1k for exhaust and a driveline... see u all hopefully in a couple months..

Re: 90 crew 1 ton Cummins 47re swap
 

Keep that in mind also when checking the fluid level as older dodges don’t pump in park and same thing after pulling heavy the trans won’t cool down in park.

Re: 90 crew 1 ton Cummins 47re swap
 

Hope everyone is doing well. News here in Vegas is not reporting the ACTIVE CASES.. only 1418. This has been here a couple months and I expect it to decline sooner than.. hope u guys are staying active and eating healthy... working on the truck bed.... it took 6 guys to lift and move it from the side yard and one guy to remove it huh? Nothing like good old steel trucks..

Got the gas fill for under the truck bed. I need to go buy a bag of sand or find a 90 degree elbow.. I've tried every trick with the harbor freight tubing bender and no luck.
