    Home Made Fording Kit?

    Yeah, I connected the air compressor to the back of the air box. I used 1 inch heater hose from Napa and a couple hose clamps. The axles, t case, and transmission are routed to the red filter but are getting rerouted to the top of the snorkel. I hope I don't need scuba gearr but can't wait to...

    m35a2 Ram Air Snorkel

    That looks great, I had mine made yesterday which is pretty similar minus the bend and ram air top. Mine is also made out of 4 inch exhaust pipe

    Home Made Fording Kit?

    Ok, here are a few pictures of what I have accomplished so far. I had the snorkel made yesterday. The axle vents, transmission, and t case have been vented to the fire wall (but now I am going to take it to the top of the snorkel). Also I ran the compressor over to the air box. I still have...

    Cummins 5.9L in a Deuce?

    All I am getting at is I would never spend the money on that engine, I would look at a LDS.

    Which 900 series do you like best?

    I have a M923A1 and really like the truck (except how much fuel it burns)! I am definately going to buy the next nice M936A2 truck that is close enough to me, as long as it isn't outrageous in price. I want one!!

    Cummins 5.9L in a Deuce?

    All I am getting at is leave the engine that is in the truck, I just don't think that puttin in a cummins from looking at my multiple friends failures is a good idea.

    Cummins 5.9L in a Deuce?

    No, the trucks that multiple friends had were the 5.9's. All of them were 2006 and older. Two other guys I know have had to put in new 6.7's also on their newer trucks.

    Home Made Fording Kit?

    Also on pressurizing the transmission do you pressurize the vent that is on top or at the plug at the bottom of the bell housing.

    Home Made Fording Kit?

    What can be done with the crankcase breather? Do I need to route it up higher or tie it in witht the air system or is it a concern? It comes from the top of the valve cover and comes down by the turbo.

    Cummins 5.9L in a Deuce?

    I would never put a cummins 5.9 in a truck, still not sure why dodge kept it so long after they switched to the 24 valve. The 12 valves are great engines, one at a ranch I worked at had 820,000 miles on it. I have many friends who drive trucks with the 5.9 24 valve in it and numerous of them...

    Air compressor intake run to Air Cleaner nipple.

    I just added the hose from the compressor to the air cleaner box this afternoon. I used 1 inch heater hose and a couple of clamps. I am that much closer to getting the duece underwater!!

    Home Made Fording Kit?

    Ok, so I have done my research with previous home made fording kits and actual surplus ones. I just want to make sure that I have covered every aspect to take my truck in deep water. I started out with new axle boots and silicon to make them water proof. I then added the central vent system...

    Those tires look great on your truck. Any pictures of the truck with all of them on it?

    M923 Front Axle Engagement

    I really don't understand why they designed it where you can't use low in 6x6. There are plenty of times when I need it!

    M923 Front Axle Engagement

    If its not in 6x6 in low range can you use reverse? If so I will definately make mine not engage in 6x6 low!

    Air compressor intake run to Air Cleaner nipple.

    There is a filter on the compressor. The part where you want to hook the hose, behind it is the filter for the compressor.

    Spin on upgrade, is there a primary oil filter?

    Do you think two 6's is to much restriction? I just want to have the best filtering I can.
