No, I have moved since I did the swap and I gave the remains to a friend that sells scrap metal to help pay for his kid's college tuition. I may have a wiring harness in my shop somewhere but I'd have to look for it. It would be the harness that connects to the back of the "Cummins" insert in the dashboard.

I know what you mean about the gas pump. Had that happen to me also. "Hey Dude!!! That's diesel you're putting in there. That thing will never run again." ... Just point at the sticker and smile.

When I first saw your post in this thread I thought you were the same guy from Conroe that bought the Ramcharger from me. I sold to him in Febuary with an extra set of tires and rims. Two of wich had fairly new 31" Pathfinders on them. Evidently he only kept it a short time before selling it to you. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I think you posted under the wrong Cummins Ramcharger build thread…not your own one with the picture of Bannerd's sliced up finger...

thanks Oliver, I sure hate this new mobile theme that we are being force fed! It merges old threads that are similar with new threads, also makes posting and reading anything way more difficult then it needs to be. Anyone figure out how to opt out? The old mobile versions a guy could opt out, this one I not see a option. 99% of the time I access this forum from my iphone
