Thanks Guys, Sorry I have been working in Mexico for the last few months and not been checking the forums.

I was able to take the truck on it's first big road trip, I drove from Independence Kansas to Albuquerque NM with my 24 ft trailer. I had no real problems except for when the temp dropped the truck didnt like to start in the morning, I was able to finally add the second Battary this last week and that helped.

Also I have a new cab to install(mine is rusty) and I will spray all kinds of sound deadening in it due to the noise on the highway and I will remove the 4.10 Gears and install 3.54 to control the highway RPM and if I can get my cruise RPM down more I will eventually get a Gear Vender.

Here is the complete parts list.

Thanks
Dan

The Dodge Alternator ran through some sort of ECM so I did not want to slave all of that in there, The Oil fill had to be moved to add in the Alt brackets and belts. I did not add a boost pump to the back and I actually just ran fuel line from the factory line accross the engine bay to the dodge mechanical fuel pump So far no problems. I have to swap my cab out soon and I plan on replacing all of the fuel line at that time. There are huys that run the dodge A/C but it sits low on the Passager side and the fram had to be notched. I did not want to do major Fab work on this install and by using the Autoworld products I was able to accomplish that.

Hope this helps answer your questions
