russ - forgot to ask: you planning on doing a 12volt converstion at the time of the swap. i'm thinking that is the opportune time...
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
YEP !!!russ - forgot to ask: you planning on doing a 12volt converstion at the time of the swap. i'm thinking that is the opportune time...
i am still not understanding this - people are swapping common rail cummins into things everyday and not using the dodge cluster.The Painless system is just under $1,000.
I have heard that if I used the stock wiring harness I would have to use the stock gauge cluster, so, like you said, the computer could communicate properly. ...
perhaps they are reprogramming the ECU so it doesnt have to talk to the gauges? or making their own harness? you cam do anything with knowledge and power!i am still not understanding this - people are swapping common rail cummins into things everyday and not using the dodge cluster
just has to be flashed for a manual trans its not NV4500 specific. a dealer can do it for you but they may also laugh at you and tell you to get bent or charge you an arm and a leg then ask for your first born and when its all said and done it will still be wrong. im sure there are other places that can do it, probably painless. go to the website mudguppy suggested and create an account and start asking questions they will know more about it then we doDo any of you guys know where I can get my ECU "flashed" for use with my transmission?
ok, but ask yourself - why would an ecu need to talk to a guage? that's the part that doesn't make sense... guages do not output.
got some links for that? i'd be interested in checking it out. also, this sounds like something for second gen cummins, not 3rd. russ' has an '03 as a donor and the stock turbo (IIRC) is an HE351, or similar. i don't believe that they used hx35's after 2nd gens.Russ,
If you are interested in Turbo options like I saw you talking to guppy several posts ago, look into a twin turbo set up using your stock 35 with an HT3B on the bottom as a primary. No lag, and will support up to 700hp pretty easy on the air side...you'll just have to match the fuel. The turbo will cost 600bucks (ish) and you'll have to do a bit of fab work, but you should be fine with all of that. Kits are available for 1000 bucks not including the turbo.
cumminsforums.com will be your friend for that. mudguppy and I have the same plan.
