But here are some starting pics with everything getting pulled out, tonight I started bolting motor mounts in so I will have pics of those tomorrow hopefully. As far as changes made so far I have changed my mind on the transmission and I am now using a built dodge 47rh instead of the 4L80E, and I am also going to use one of frozen boosts water to air intercoolers. Other than that everything is going along good.

Anybody who fabbed up their own mounts have the dimensions they built them to? I've got the steel and can have the guys in the shop at work do all the cutting and welding while I keep getting the other stuff together.

From the beginning is probably the best way so.......
Ever since I inherited my Dad's 98.5 3500 CTD dually from Florida with 47,000 miles, I've had an odd grin on my face and started picking out Dodge trucks at a glance.
I've been watching this '95 2500 V10 4 X 4 sit unused since last Spring and finally stopped in and asked about it. The owner told me the engine was "done" but everything else (4 X 4) worked well. I got it for next to nothing and had it flatbedded home. Within a few hours of tinkering, a couple of coffee's........I had it running with no apparent problem's.?? The A/C and CD player even work!! I put a couple of front tires on it and started looking for a plow so I could at least do my own yard and stop paying a grand a Winter.........woooooohoooooooooo.
Well, here's where it gets interesting. I came across an '89 2500 4 X 4 CTD with a '92 front clip on it. It also has a '05 Western "Boss" plow set-up that looks almost new. The owner sticks the key in and the CTD fires instantly. The exhaust pipe is rotted off just where it comes down to beneath the truck frame. Yeah, a bulldozer under full load type of sound. :drool2: nothing like Dad's 24 V ......
For a 20 year old truck, it's not too bad but not as nice as the '95 V10 so...........here's my question.
Will the '89 diesel set-up bolt in and right up to the '95 V10 set-up??? Both trucks are 2500's and 4 X 4's remember. I figure I got the '89 for about half of what the guy said he paid for the plow but it would sure be sweet to see the plow AND the diesel on/in the '95.
Other than that.............an extended cab might be the next thing to find since I'II have my butt kicked out the door if/when I drag another truck Home.:buttkick:

I have so much money already tied up in my truck. Such as suspension upgrades to handle a 7 1/2' Fisher plow. And tons of electronics inside the truck. I really want to do a diesel for the mileage mainly. I believe I have the 44RE transmission and was wondering if that work or do I need to get a 47RE? Would a 4bt be enough?

It looked 100% stock,yet had the sweet sound only a Cummins can make. It was pretty cool watching it smoke its tires:headbang: There is a second video of the car showing the engine bay with the very clean install of the '99 Cummins install, and also a short ride along.

The reason, I put a hurtin' on the Dodge, and tore up all the body panels, and I have a '96 1T chevy dually, that I thought that I could give a little more life to.

Any help would be greatly appericated!!

I have been very pleased with the swap and am looking ahead to my next project - a 12 valve cummins into a 99 or newer F250. In the near future, I will be looking for a 5.4 or V10 manual trans pickup in good shape as well as a good running 12 valve cummins. Anyway, I realized that De-stroked and Ford-Cummins both have the motor mounts and adapter plates to accomplish the swap. What is the general consesus of this board, as far as the quality, fitment, and customer service of these parts? Are they more or less equivalent or is one better than the other? Also, are there many challenges with wiring, fuel system, or exhaust/downpipe related to this swap? Just completing the 4BT swap, I have a general idea of what is required in these areas, but any specific advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance. I just wrapped up a 4BT swap into a 93 F150.

Over the past 9 months, I swapped a 4BTA from a GM Step Van into my 93 F150.

The 4BT is an excellent fit for a 1/2 ton pickup, a great combination of power, mileage, and durability.
