Pilothouse/RAM3500 build
Well, as usual I didn't get as much done as I wanted, but here is the dump of the week off of work I did. I didn't take pictures of me standing there scratching my head for a few hours each day. Also, sadly I lost a coworker over the break, my car club buddies dad passed and I got some concerning news over a good friend. First off, modification of the new brake booster to match the mock up of the old one to fit in the engine bay/behind the engine Next up was removing the old extra cab mounts I don't need and welding on the front mounts for the 4 bar linkage. Next we have the old and new rear suspension Finally there is the hood wings back on with prop arms! Final good news is my wife is now happy with 2 new familiy members to spoil!

Driver side done now as well. Puma supervised, sadly she is pretty much deaf so the grinding dind't hurt her ears.

Last day of vacation burned, but I got the passenger side drip rail fab'd and welded in. Being the back half fo the cab is a B1, the rail is different so I carried that thru to the front as well. Also allows me to get some seam sealer in there when the time comes to keep the rust monsters at bay.

Dropped the rad/fan assy in last night. OOOO boy is it tight! But clearance....is clearance. I have about 1/4" on the passenger side. I will modify the mounts to allow me to loosen and tip the assembly forward for serpentine replacement (thank you middle of the night engineer brain).

AC condenser "mostly" in....likley I will weld the Z brackets to the frame to avoid the bolt plates I had made to get it all mounted to the frame rail tho....might wait for that till the cab is off next time.

Evap unit mounted. Sadly with the FW wart I had to move from a center location to the pass foot well. Driver doesn't need heat anyway...right? I'll make a duct.

Fuel pump replacement (in tank)
Looking for a good replacment for the in tank fuel pump for a 94 2500 12 valve fuel system. Old one says Carter, but Summit images don't look similar. Any help on a good quality replacement brand and model number?

Well technically 1 inch, but plenty of space. I worry more about the top rad hose and the oil fill tube bracket...might have to do something there.

So I'm spending a small fortune at Summit right now to get the parts I need for the cooling system rebuild, and started to poke at the brake system as well. On the MC is there any preference performance/use/life wise on an alumium body vs. cast iron?
