Was able to find a 4x4 NV4500 and a rebuilt NP271 that I plan on swapping in as soon as I go through the transmission. Anyone savvy with Dana 70 knowledge? I have my 70U under the truck with 4.10 and a posi, would I be able to swap just the posi from the Ford 70U into a Dodge 70-U2? I found a Dodge 2001 D70 with 3.54 and an open carrier for cheap and figure the disk brakes in addition to better gearing would be a good idea when I move to a 34-35" tire. And the 01 rear end would allow for me to hook up the VSS and get the speedo working.

In regards to noise, I don't think I'd be much help. I went from 4" stacks to this exhaust and it is far more enjoyable to drive.

Stock downpipes is 3". No tip means it is like the stock exhaust exiting behind the rear tire.

I have that kit on my F250, isn't a true 4" kit as the down pipe is 3.5"; but other than that awesome kit and it installed relatively easy on my Ford.

My MagnaFlow system isn't a true 4" system, the downpipe is 3.5", but it has the hangers welded on and seemed to me to be a very good buy for the money; it was ~200 shipped from Summit.

Bump

22-24 at idle, 19 WOT

Got some of the supplies to redo the electrical; but, I am fearful to mess up what is already done and end up with the truck not running after I "fix" it. So, I'm trying to find a 2000 electrical diagram and then draw out what I have in comparison for reference before I start at it.I did get a fuel pressure gauge to work again; it was showing ~20 at idle and a needle-width less under a load but for what ever reason soon after I took possession of the truck it decided to stop working. I found an old gauge to replace it and got simular reading with this gauge: ~23 at idle and 20 under a load.

I'm wanting to redo the fuel system on my '83 F250 with Cummins. Right now it is only using one of it's two 19 gallon tanks, the front tank. I'd like to replace the rear tank with a drop in replacement 38 gallon; and, would it be worth while to add a sump to the new 38 gallon tank? Picture of a 38 gallon installed I was thinking of adding a typical billiet $$$$ diesel sump to the lowest point in the tank pictured or using a formed steel sump more common in drag racing applications. http://www.jegs.com/i/Jegster/550/40793/10002/-1?parentProductId=747210 My second question is which lift pump should I be looking at? I never plan on making big power, replace the stock turbo, the only thing I might do at a later point is add RV275 injectors and possibly a tuner. Stick with a FASS or AirDog? Build a system from scratch? And last, I'd like to turn the the forward 19 gallon tank into an auxiliary tank that I could pump into the main 38 gallon tank. Would this be as simple a wiring a pump and plumbing into the return line?

Fuel system: - - - Updated - - - Engine Bay: Is this is ECM? Any idea as to the screw in the exhaust elbow?

Thank you for the welcome and responses! Axle swap with a high pinion D44 "HD"; looking at a D60 from a 85 F350. But I also need to find a 4x4 NV4500 mainshaft and housing to adapt the NP241 I got with the truck. So for the time being the front is just there to hold the tires and steer. - - - Updated - - - PDC box is the fuse box? I need to take some pictures of the wiring nightmare underhood and the mess around the fuel pump and hopefully someone can shed some light on what I'm looking at. - - - Updated - - - Any advice?

Hello all, I have always wanted a diesel powered pickup and found my 1983 Ford F250 with a 24V Cummins which I recently purchased. Here is a build thread I've started and hope to hear some guidance before I make some mistakes. http://forum.mopar1973man.com/threads/7902-New-Member-New-Ride-83-F250-with-24V-Cummins Thanks to MoparMans articles which have helped me thus far! Here is the truck as of today.

While I'm waiting for photos to upload. I also have a TimBo APPS for the truck I initially suspected dead pedal but it was the throttle being out of adjustment and not sending signal until the throttle has opened ~15-20%. But I will hold onto it for just-in-case circumstances. Do I need to adjust the APPS with a voltmeter or can I just adjust it til an increase in RPMs then back it down a little? How does one check for full throttle? Also purchased some Delo 400LE and Mopar branded filter to do an oil change but wanted to wait until I know what I need to change out the fuel filters and do it all at one time. Might just purchase an AirDog and replace the inline pump that it mounted outside the fuel tank, end up with new filters and a better pump. Any suggestions? - - - Updated - - - Thank you! Ask and you shall receive! Excited when the Fedex guy dropped a few packages off. Off with the old. Old filthy filter plus the elbow I disliked. Under the Hood Stackless! And I am enjoying my hearing again. It was fun sounding like a semi a fraction of the time.

Figure this would be a good place to start, I recently purchased an 1983 F250 with a 2000 Cummins and NV4500 swapped. Running the Dodge brakes, cluster, etc. Currently I removed the stacks and installed a Magnaflow system under the truck- 3.5" down to a 4" pipe all the way to the rear tire. The system was for a 98-02 Dodge and fit well under the Ford, I did need to oblong the bolt holes in the exhaust flange to get the down pipe to bolt up. Also removed an undersize air filter and replaced it with a 'BHAF' and replaced the welded 90 degree 4" intake pipe with a mandrel bent 60 degree pipe. And pictures: How I got the truck-
