A few posters were commenting on 16.5" rims. The 3 piece are lethal. The one piece are also dicey as they do not have the safety bead that 16's do. This means that a loss of air pressure greatly increases the possibility of the bead breaking while driving. On the flip side, driveway tire swaps couldn't be easier!

 

I have tried 16's from the 1gen CTD, they will not fit the 75, the brakes are bigger on the 75 and the 16's touch the calipers.

Any comments, are there 17' on newer rams that fit. My wheels are the one piece 16,5's and have run this wheel on my B300 vans for more than 20 years with no problems at all?

Let me know.

I don't know what turbo to run on my 1gen 12 valve, I would want to upgrade everything to a turbo injector setup that works and is correclty tuned, I don't want a race truck but if I have to change the turbo I may as well get a better one, but I would want a package that is all setup correclty.

Any comments on what shop can sell me a good turbo and mathing fuel hardware.

I can't see the video, but that might be a problem on my end.

If you want to buy new and be done with it, a nicely matched combo would be 190 injectors and a PDR-35/16 from Piers Diesel Research (located in BC so no customs issues for you). That would get up over 200 RWHP with the current pump settings and you wouldn't need to watch the pyrometer.

You could also just rebuild the turbo yourself, they are pretty simple. HTT sells compressor kits that many of us are running, and they can also sell you the parts to rebuild the turbo. Or they can just sell you a built one and take yours in as a core.

 

The movie is quicktime format, have not had others say its not working. Let me know, I can email you a mpg.

I wish the admin guys would remove the red, "ad removed site rules vilation" from my signiture", I don't know what was in my signiture that they called an ad, must have been the link to my website or other engine swaps. In any case it makes me look like a bad boy? Any ideas.

Have not had any complaints so far, you may be out of ram or hd. I dumped my IBM for this amazing MacBook Pro laptop, fast amazing software bundled for free. Put all the stuff up for the 75 Dodge D200 Cummins swap with all the stoc software on the new laptop. Fantastic!
