Neither one is an Excursion, but I'd think that'd be a minor issue, if at all:

There was a guy that did this in an old Diesel World magazine feature. I believe he used a 12V Cummins. One thing I remember was that he used an F700 manifold to clear the heater box and I believe he used the original V10 transmission but with a different torque converter. You may be able to search their archives for the article. I believe it was a 2009 issue around mid summer.

That's why I love this board. Not one person said, "Use the search button" or "Search is your friend". The OP would have been butchered on some other boards. Nice job brothers

Have 12v in a Ram 2500 Quadcab, 300k od
12V is simpler to maintain than the 24V, so cheaper if you are paying for the labor. 24V is quieter I believe. Don't know about the commonrail.
