Take the money you would dump into this project and invest it.  When you retire you will be able to buy one of the new electric trucks, because diesels will be banned by then, and pay cash.     

 

California only problem. Time to move...

There is truth in that statement. I'll admit it freely being I deal with it daily. 

 

As for Ford or Chevy you are trading on problem for another. Sad part is the electrics have to follow to be right. Nothing to gain. Then if you ditch it then it get even worse with diagnostic being broke and OBDII plug no longer. Then all the other thing trying to make it work. Body is a body. But making the Cummins work in another body fully is near impossible to keep all the functions working completely.

Dodge electrics...... now thats why they don't work so good

1998.5 to 2002 was a red headed step child truck. What I've found out back in 1996 we still had the p-pump but federal regulations forced the OBDII requirement on all vehicles. This meant that Dodge had to upgrade to something. I found that Dodge was already playing with CR injection was hoping to get that finished up so to make the deadline they released the VP44 engine to fill the gap till CR injection could be finished. This means that Dodge chopped right in the ECM and made a mess out of the electrical to stack in the ECM quickly. This was done away with in the CR realm. So we have the redheaded step children of trucks.
