4-07-17 engine for sale

11-16-17 engine still in truck.

You could litetaly make a real live person (9 months gestation) in less time than it will take this engine swap to happen. Just sayin. Think about that.

Carry on gentlemen.

Here is why it is taking longer than expected....

That’s a picture of how he plans on lowering the engine into the truck. He’s trying. Give him some credit.

Here are some people amazed by balloons. I want some action in this thread. Here ya go.

Just proved out the pedal position sensor. Plan now is to leave the stock pedal, and just link the throttle rod to a used Dodge Ram Cummins accel position sensor. This is because the floorboard in the cab is sloped at a 45 degree angle where the pedal resides. Most electeonic pedals mount to a flat floor or the vertical firewall. 45 degree ones do exist, but are harder to come by used. By using the stock pedal, I can keep my throttle lock.

With a regulated 5V power supply into the sensor, it spits out 0.5V at idle, and sweeps to 3.8V at wide open. The Cummins ECM calibrates this range if you do a power-up and depress the pedal without starting the engine.

This is the only external piece needed to run an electronic diesel engine.

Test ran the engine today. First time on all 24v system, QSL fuel filter setup, Jake actuators, clutch/trans installed, and Dodge Ram accelerator sensor. All worked well. Power train is complete and ready for install over Christmas break. Test ran without exhaust manifold/turbo.

I love the sweet smell of diesel exhaust mixed with progress in the morning.

Disappointing, was hoping for an on/off toggle switch for a throttle, mounted on the gear shift with all the other knobs...

I really wanted a video of the pedals mounted to your desk, next to the running engine, while you practice rowing through the gears

 

[Buffalobwana]

Props.

A little disappointed in myself for not thinking of this first.

But ... Its not too late. Noooo, it’s never too late.

...says the 2 star 4 star general.

It is still setup. Maybe I’ll give you twerps some good plunger shifts.

 

[Buffalobwana]

Words hurt Clint. I thought we were friends.

 

[74M35A2]

Send $ and I’ll put you back on the good Christmas list. )

 

[Buffalobwana]

I believe I have sent you enough. So much, I forgot what I bought and what you were supposed to send!

I expect a card.

It'll be due for its first oil change before it even makes it in the truck going that route. He doesn't have to make the engine sounds with his mouth anymore so he can focus a little more on shift patterns, lol.
