Check out www.dodgetalk.com
there is some good info there. |
If ya need more pics I could send ya some of my 97 Dodge with the Cummins, but its a 5-speed so might not be a direct comparison.
I did a quick search on
www.turbodieselregister.com and found some info. It might be easier to find a donor truck with a blown motor and swap your motor in. Anyway you will need the everything from the tranny mount forward, including T-case, overdrive housing, driveshafts, front axle, front suspension (yours is independent?) 4x4 is solid front axle with 4-bar, steering maybe? Reading on TDR, it seems like a pretty involved job and its not clear to me if the frame is different. They mention differences, but I not sure if its because of the diesel engine or the 4x4 chassis? I don't know if the suspension pick-up points would be present on your truck or not?
Like I said if you need pics of my trucks suspension, let me know.
