  • Sorry for not uploading in a while, life happens. Just thought I'd give a quick update. The Dodge was involved in an accident and was totaled. I made the decision to transfer everything over to my 1995 Ford F350 which was originally a 351 gasser truck. Still have a long way to go but it's fun to drive and tows really well. I'll keep you guys updated in the future on this truck...Hopefully.

      they got their OM's down to a tee and use billet parts and inhouse designs.
      Not a fair comparison.
      I think in this case the OM was swapped because it's a smoother road oriented lighter engine instead of the more industrial chonker but still has enough of the big diesel engine properties for your towing needs and good enough reliability and maintenance ease.

    Great choice of a truck I personally like this much better than the ram. Are you going to turn up the power a little due to the extra weight? Or does the lower gearing help it get up and go just fine? I'd imagine it's a 4.11 or something

      He's using an N/A Motor with a bigger pump and turbo added. You can make a lot of power (relatively) with the N/A motors reliably for a long time and they're cheap and available. I think he has put 60k miles on this engine and it's been I'm 3 different trucks since the original w124. And thats with a heavy vehicle under load and boost and sometimes towing. If you want to for peace of mind throw some turbo Rods or aftermarket Rods you can always choose that option as well.

      I disconnected the fuel pumps and ran a tank sump from "Beans Diesel" in the front tank. Currently the front tank is the only one that works. I can run the same sump on the rear and splice it into the feed line. The mechanical fuel pump on the injection pump pulls fuel from the sumps.
