[madgtr999]

[my1987toyota]

now thats how a truck is supposed to sound.

[Brandonisbitches]

That is a really nice truck man, I was actually hoping to do the same kind of thing. I love the cummins, and those old ramchargers. what did you do with the suspension/frame?

[zikmester96]

the sound is very good , I like the CUMMINS

[DodgeTheRam92]

how much did it cost?

[danraich]

powerlinefixer - How hard was it to convert it from gas to diesel? what all did you have to do?

[powerlinefixer]

@danraich Get a donor truck and it's not very hard.

[Cekkent]

I like this. I was thinking about doing something similar. Is your Ramcharger 2 or 4 wheel drive?

[powerlinefixer]

@Cekkent 4 wheel drive.

[Kochenderfer21]

What kinda mpg does it get?

[powerlinefixer]

I have 3.21 gears and an nv4500 transmission. I have an overall average of 21 to 23mpg. That is mostly driving at 60 to 75mph. If I drove slower I bet I would get better MPG.

That it is SWEET!

[codyjoe87]

nice rig did it have a 318 before

[powerlinefixer]

Originally it had a 318 4bbl with a 4 speed. Then I put in a 1993 5.2 magnum and kept the 4 speed. Now it has a 1992 5.9 Cummins.

[codyjoe87]

what did u do with the old engine

[powerlinefixer]

It is being saved for another project.

[rls94]

five speed?

[powerlinefixer]

Yes- NV4500. I don't think I ever got into 5th though. I have 3.21 gears so I have to be going about 50 before I can use 5th
