I know they only made this in a half-ton frame. Could a cummins drivetrain be swapped in with the right diff and motor/trans mounts? Or would you need a chopped 3/4 ton frame?

@Addison Wood Thanks, I haven’t pulled the trigger yet, but these little halfton shorties for cheap. Sounds like either way, I will need a donor truck, not just a motor/ecm.
Update on the 12v repair.
Painted stuff looks so nice but man it’s a lot of work.

Just reloading my ammo, I have only cleaned brass using walnut or corn cob media with case lube. I prefered the walnut because it was a little less dusty. It won’t hurt anything since it isn’t very aggressive. I know they make some kind of resin media for rusty parts. Never used it though. Hope that helps.

I appreciate you showing the other ways. I will eventually get a press in my shop, but for now I am making due with what I have on hand. Thanks, Rob.

i knew that tool looked familiar. I used this with a little heat. Came right off. Crazy that the Cummins one is $500
Bad idea?
Need to change cam gear. I don’t have a dedicated tool for this. I got the axle puller as true as possible. If I apply a little heat, do I risk doing any damage to the gear/cam?
Bad idea?

@Robert Winkworth Yes. Still waiting on flywheel to come in for balancing. I have time.

I found an old video of yours on you tube. I see how it is done. Easy peasy.
Any guesses ???
Anyone have a guess what I am going to try to use this for ?

@Robert Winkworth It’s so tiny. Is this the typical size for one of those on the back of the block?
