Grid heater relays, APPS, power control center, ....the stuff that connects to the ECM that won't be in a gasser but may leave you with codes or limp mode. ks

Not trying to get off subject but I have a question...
Is a 1/2 ton frame stout enough to handle a 600+hp cummins? I know others like garmon have done it... But do they do anything to the frame to beef it up? Or is it not needed?
Wouldn't it be easier to find a 3/4 single cab long bed and shorten the frame and throw a shortbed on it?
Thanks

A 3/4 ton would work too, either way is fine with me. What about 3/4ton springs in a 1/2ton truck? As of right now, its still in the planing stage. Remember weight is everything

Cris, You are good to start...the wiring and ECM tuning with a DRB will solve most problems. With a 1/2 ton frame you can put the cross braces where you need them and have an easier time lowering the truck. Not much of the stock suspension or drivetrain will be left. Light weight, low drivetrain losses and Big Drag slicks will have a 2wd kick any 4wd's butt. ks

That is the way I want to go. I don't think that I'm going to get the wires that go from the ECM to the plug under the dash. Is this going to be a problem? Is there going to be a way around it?
Thanks CRIS

Do a search of Superdutys posts (he is now a banned member, remember the walbro guy). he had an 05 in his ford and in one of his posts he detailed what needed to be hooked up to make it work.. I remember him saying it was only a couple of wires...

I got my engine in yesterday, and let me tell you. The people who took it out of the truck it came did the best job I have ever seen in removing a engine.
Everything was either unpluged ,unbolted ar unscrewed
nothing was cut or broken.
Now I have to find somthing to do with it
