Re: Chummins Build
Made some progress this weekend. Finished plumbing for the intercooler, clutch MC mounted and hooked up. Started on trans hump. And decided I was going to mount the battery under the bed right behind the cab.

Re: Chummins Build
Now dad has an 01 2500hd 2wd reg cab dura max and I have a 2002 crew cab 4x4 lwb dura max. There is no comparison to these trucks as far as power vs the 6.2!

Re: Chummins Build
In all reality, I would choose the LB7 dmax over the competing Cummins any day.

Re: Chummins Build
In my opinion the only thing the Dmax has over a cummins in these years is the availability of EFI Live for the Dmax. But that won't be a problems for the early CR Cummins soon. Either way, both are good engines and hard to beat.

Re: Chummins Build
I used two 12" fans on a newer big block radiator and they work great. From the little I have drove it, it stays right at opperating temp. and not any higher.

Re: Chummins Build
The cummins runs pretty cool so i am not too worried. In a bind I put a radiator i had in the barn on my buddys 55 Chevy p/u w/ cummins as well. The radiator was from a early 90 sunfire according to the part number and was only like 1" thick. He didnt have any issues with it getting hot and rarely had to turn the fans on for going 200*.

Re: Chummins Build
Start making decent power along with towing heavy and they need a decent sized radiator or the temp will keep rising which will raise the exhaust temp and could be a bad scenario.

Re: Chummins Build
Did order 2 10" fans as well as all autometer gauges. Got throttle hooked up by using pedal and cable form 1st gen s10. Ran around the block a few times and very satisfied with everything so far. Finished my tunnel and ready to start putting the interior back together. I will try to get n video or something soon. We had some crappy weather last few days

Re: Chummins Build
I got the donor truck last October and started stripping it. By mid November i had my c10 front end stripped to the frame ready for the swap. I didnt move over to this forum until February so kinda cheated progress.

Re: Chummins Build
Looks like your getting closer to going down the road. I love how you did the exhaust.
