Ive been enjoying the site for a few weeks now so I figured it was time to make a thread for my truck. Ill start with a few pics of what my friends call "overly diverse" collection of projects/stuff. I like diversity and am interested in most anything that has a motor.
05 GTO 6spd
1988 RX7 - Currently under the knife
1974 Mercedes 280c
I hope this is the right section for build threads. I just picked up a new project a few weeks back and have already made some good progress on it. The previous owner claimed he was building a 2wd 2.6 puller. Its a 1999 3500 2wd. Here is a quick mod list.
The motor has roughly 5k miles on it as does the trans and rear end.
New 5.9L block and head from Cummins
Carrillo rotating assembly, Mahle pistons, ARP 12mm studs, Fire ringed head
P pump conversion 12mm, Colt cam.
Airdog 215 (supposedly modified)?.
Compounded twins S364 and s488, 5in to 6in stainless exhaust
Ported head and 3 piece DPS manifold.
NV5600 with billet input/output and upgraded sychros
Haisley 3850 twin disk clutch
Dana 80 rebuilt with 4.10s
With a larger pump he claimed almost 900whp. The fuel setup I got from him made 758whp.
The catch: It pushed a small peice of headgasket out of the front of the motor creating an external oil leak only. ( no fluid mixing or doodoo butter).The body is a little rough but useable and its a SLT Laramie :rockwoot:
I pulled the head this past weekend and have just been cleaning surfaces since then. I ordered a gasket kit from Haisley with the fire ringed gasket, but ordered the wrong diameter on previous owners word. The correct ones are in the mail now that I measured them myself. Im also waiting on the ceramic coating to show up so I can coat the exhaust stuff.
The forum has shown to be extremely knowledgeable so far. I figured this was the best place to keep up with my rebuild along with receiving input from people who are more experienced with high hp diesel vehicles than I am. That being said Im looking forward to getting this thing on the road!!!
Sweet monster tach
The teardown
Where the oil leak was.
The truck had previously broken a stock cam when the clutch gave and over reved. I assume thats how the valves were introduced to the pistons. Other than that the cylinder walls look great.
