William, no 2nd gen dodge i have torn into had a DMF in it and my brother has 3 24v dodges, a '99, a '01, and an '02.
Sam, thanks for the comments there. i actually did no research on that. i have the book that all the ford diesel mechanics got when the SD's came out on the PSD. it lists in there all the differences, how to work on them, special tools, wiring schematics, torque specs list, etc. its the book that they use for when they gotta take their tests on the new trucks. i have read that book about 50 times now b/c it somehow doesn't get old to me. i can post pics if anyone wants. its got a pic for most of the stuff i mentioned up there. LoL. So yeah, the ford mechanics should be much smarter than they are, but i guess since they work for money instead of fun and don't care about the customers trucks like we care for our own they don't turn out to be all that great b/c they are trying to do things as fast as possible. this book is pretty dang good. gonna go read it again now....

doug, ask your buddy at ford if he can get his hands on one. LoL. My buddy that works at ford had it sitting there and about to throw it away, but decided to give it to me instead. i will ask him if there are anymore of them running around the shop there or maybe i will go poke around there and look for one. LoL. if y'all have any buddys that work at ford they might still have them b/c they got the books in '98 when the SDs were about to come out.

you would have to have parts from a '99-03 7.3L, but the '04 6.0L does have some stuff we can use such as the intercooler. other than that there is nothing except for the seats. you can make the seats work in an OBS.

I do have a buddy that works in the parts department at a Ford Dealer in Sacramento I will ask him for the book. What is the name of the book?

Since we're on this topic.
I have a complete 97 7.3/e4OD with all wiring computers ect that is a good running rig
I also have a 99 7.3 and everything that goes with it, it runs but it's tired and smokes.
I'm putting the 7.3 into a 66 f250. I got the 99 mainly so I could get the front accessories off it to swap to Hydro-boost brake booster for more real estate.
What else besides the Electric fuel pump setup and CAC should I use?
