[QUOTE="rsr911, post: 4532, member: 452"] Made a deal with my neighbor who just wants a 2wd diesel to drive for his business to save fuel costs running blended waste oils. The deal is I got a DRW conversion 4wd gas truck for parts. Going to move front and rear axles between it and my CCLB truck so I wind up with 4wd DRW and he'll have a 1 ton diesel by installing my old but good 6.9 and T-19 4spd into it. I had blown a head gasket in it so I elected to just put in a good 7.3 IDI that I had in my truck so now this engine is on a stand and back together. Anyway getting it to run should be rather easy. Gonna use push button glow plugs. I think the hard part will be wiring up the gauges and dash. I got a diesel cluster so it will have a tach etc. I'm not sure about the frame engine mounts. I've got the engine side with the 2 bolts that go into the frame but there's plates on my frame there that they go into. Haven't looked at the 5.8 truck yet to see if there's a difference. Anyway I figured I'd post here as I get various things done so that other's might benefit. [/QUOTE]
