Yep, that would be Jeremy (jtharvey). He has a 5.9 Cummins in his '00 F-350. You can find him hanging around the 7.3L section of the forum.
Pics of his conversion can be found at the link below...

There is a thread about it too. Takes a while to get through it though

Why would you have used the common rail over a 12v? I have access to a '94 6TB that was in an industrial generator.

Bean at Bean's Diesel Performance(who is local to me) has done it with his sled pulling truck, and he would probably be able to help you out thru the process and he does do the destroked conversions.

I would go with a CR this time around because it is a little quieter, a little more refined and just as easy to wire up. (Ok, its 4 more wires....but still). Dont get me wrong, I love my 12V, and am in the process of upgrading to a bigger injection pump and twin turbos, and for bullet proof simplicity the Cummins 12V cannot be beat. Either way I think the truck is now better with a Cummins under the hood.
My mileage went up 1 or 2 MPG at most, but I did get another 200+HP to the rear wheels in the process.

Wow, I managed the same mpg and round the same rwhp gains and I still have the same 6.0 that I started with. I would image the cost of the mods that I did would be around the same as it cost you to do the conversion.
