Hello From Texas

[Frog]

Hello All.....

 

Just thought I would stop in here and introduce myself.  I am from Shady Shores, Texas and I am a Field Technician for Caterpillar (don't hate). I currently do not own a Mopar (Dodge) but I do have a 2002 5.9 H.O. Cummins and an NV4500 that I am in the process of rebuilding. After I do that I will be installing it into my 1957 Chevy Truck. Again, don't hate.

 

I know I will have questions regarding my engine and transmission.....and that is why I am here. To learn as much about it as I can. Thanks for a GREAT forum Mike...and to all the staff at mopar1973man.com.

No biggy. Ask Me78569 what he's planning on doing with his truck now? You might be pleasantly surprised. We are all here to help and teach as much as we can. So make sure to ask lots of questions and we'll do what we can to answer then or find solutions.

Thanks Mike, I have visited the Cummins Swap section. I hope to contribute soon to the forum. Thanks again and thanks for the help earlier today.

Welcome Frog. My son recently ran across an elderly gentleman who had swapped a 49 Chevrolet pkp onto 96 Dodge dally frame with a 4bt and 5spd. Awesome truck.

Funny you should mention that me78569.....I work with a guy that is wanting to do the exact same thing.....but with a 12V and a NV5600. He is about to give up on it though, due to him not being able to source a NV5600 for a decent price.

 

I look forward to seeing your progress when you get started.

I am thinking about doing something dumb and keeping the 47re haha. 

 

I gotta first get some money in the bank, the wedding pretty much drained me.

Welcome Frog. I once saw some one post on here that they had a Cummins and it was not their fault a Dodge came wrapped around it. Look forward to seeing your project.

Congrats on the marriage!

 

I have been married for 14yrs.....have 3 kids....13 (Boy), 9 (Boy) & 3 (Girl)

 

So, I feel your pain on the money in the bank, mine keeps going somewhere, but I don't know where...LOL
