In Reply to: 1975 Dodge D200 Club Cab 2WD Cummins swap posted by Reg Riemer on Wednesday, November 22, 2006 at 10:00PM :
The swap project has started. Today Warren used his 1991 Toyota 4Runner to tow our frozen solid non starting 1 Gen 1992 D250 into the RCTS shop. After lunch at the Dragon Pearl restaurant we arrived back at the shop to start up our now thawed out 1992 D250 Dodge Cummins truck. This next runs on the RCTS Dynojet will be the last miles for the 92 truck with a diesel engine!

Amazingly the 1992 CTD made more than her rated power at the rear wheels. More amazing an hour later when we took the intake pipe is off and found her turbo wheel is very hard to turn. Any one with feedback on how the 1 generation 12 valve cummins turbo spins is invited to let us know. This does not seem right to me? Watch the video below and let me know what you think.
In any case fantastic power. As we looked at the 1gen 92 on the lift the extent of the rust is very apparent. Poor old truck. I think we will put the 75 360 auto and Dana 60 back into this 92 so she can be our shops dirt truck.
