Well work is slow but got some more cleaning done today.. Hopefully spring comes soon and I can start painting.
Does anyone see an issue w/ the front placement of the jackstands?? I am wondering if that crossbeam is strong enough to support the weight of the truck
cleaned wheelwell
New air compressor!! yay!

toys just came in..
Bottom Charger (Primary)
Compression side: 80mm
Exhaust side : 96mm w/ a 1.32 A/R exhaust housing
This charger will go back to ED and get a tighter housing to increase drive pressure and an ETT (billet) wheel on the intake side to lower compressor load..

I friend of mine has been dying to do this build. He is a total Cummins freek but loves the looks of the fords and the roomy cabs. He was planning on picking up a good condition 05 to 07 with a blown 6.0 (unfortunately there are plenty of them out there) and swap a 12 valve Cummins in it with a manual tranny. How cool would that be?

If your bud needs a 12v shoot me a pm. There is a wealth of them in my area for $1200-$1500.
Hopefully going to see some 60 degree weather this weekend so I am hoping to get a ton of painting on my frame done.

I'm in Arizona and I haven't seen 60 degree weather since November. We've had a damn cold winter. So, you can tell your friends that someone in AZ is jealous of your warm weather. :P
I think he has a 12 valve engine already as well as a 6 speed manual. I'll for sure be sending him this thread.

Great thread, go Cummins! With or without the Dodge truck is fine by me. I have nothing against the Dodge truck itself, I guess I am a Dodge purist at heart. Doh! Should have realized that 2 years ago.
