Yes....MUST have under hood pics. You can't make a thread to show off a Cummins powered F-350 and not show us the CUMMINS!

As they say....Pics or it didn't happen!

Thanks everyone! I'll snap some under hood photos tomorrow if I remember. It's 11° here right now so F going outside haha.

I'd love to talk with some other guys who have done the same conversion because there are a lot of questions I have!

It was on CL for $6k, yes.

Cruise does not work, I gotta fix that with living in Montana though!

I meant to say Hide-Away 5th Wheel Hitch haha.

Oh I know but it's my dream truck so parts and pieces!
Took my second trip to the car wash for the motor today and tomorrow I'm hoping to spend about an hour on it again. Just need to get all of the grease off so I can start to tell where it's leaking from!

Also planning on removing the wiring hardness completely and removing all unnecessary wires then re-wrapping the entire harness.

Need an exhaust manifold bolt too haha.

If you flip your exh manifold upside down, would that give you more room against the heaterbox. Or would that make the turbo too close to the hood then.

How's it running. What planz do you have for it now other then a wiring cleanup.
I'd like to put a 4bt into my F150 but not sure if I can get the auto trans electronics to cooperate. May have to go to a standalone controller or a different overdrive auto.
