Future swap question for a 24V 6bt
Answered my own question: asked a work buddy at the engine plant and he says you CAN, but not recommended....too much going on in the 24V to make it work right.....unless someone here knows a workaround

Future swap question for a 24V 6bt
Quick question: for my next project truck I have an option to get a 24V 6bt w/ a 6 speed trans....is there a way to push this back to a mechanical system and not have to have an ECM? Swap the pump for a p-pump is all that is needed, what else maybe?

Thanks....it's "tigerwood" out of Brazil....super hard and dense. 30 year ground contact (not that is will see the ground). Quick wipe with an oil and good to go! Sadly no, my painter is STILL working on getting his building inspected/approved. I think he's gonna start here in April...will keep you informed.

New Life and New Body with issues...
Keep working the issues! I know there are several new sleep apnea options out there that are way less of a PITA than the standard old school options were.

My OCD decided I needed to redo the first running board to be "nicer"....so I did! And I started to trim the grill bars so they fit right by the intercooler.

Passenger side done. As typical it went better and looks better. I figured a way to jig the bead rolls so it went much better.

I went for it yesterday on the first running board top skin. Those long beads are tough to try and keep straight. Did I? Mostly.....at least its gonna be Rino Lined and not gloss back!

I'm guessing it'll be in Jan when he can start. He needs to get his building finsihed and inspected prior to starting to actually work in it.

A little Dodge horse tradin'
My buddy traded me a first gen 6bt to do some body work for him on his truck. So several patch panels later I got a "free" engine.
