1989 chevrolet k3500 12V Cummins conversion

1989 Chevrolet C/K Pickup 3500 Silverado

1989 1 ton Silverado 4x4 converted to 12V Cummins Turbo diesel. The conversion was done at a shop in Utah. I have put around 300 miles on it. The engine is a 92 Dodge Cummins, originally from a 5 spd truck. Smaller exhaust housing turbo swapped on for quicker spooling. Oil pressure and water temp sending units are Chev. Has new thermostat and gasket. A/C comp is dodge (new) but needs charged, AC developed leak after being in local diesel shop for additional work: New front gear case installed and dowel pin addressed, New 50hp industrial injectors, tune up, 3k governor spring, fuel pin.

During conversion the following items were addressed:

• New fuel filter and lift pump.

• New filters and oil in engine, trans and transfer case.

• New Pro Comp 6-8" lift shocks and extended stainless brake lines.

• Sky Jacker drop pitman arm and Dana60 block to correct steering geometry.

• Intercooler and intake horn are 94-98 Dodge.

• The grid heater is not wired in (12 valve Cummins rarely need them even in cold weather and a lot of guys even delete the heater itself for better air flow) it also has a block heater.

• The battery is new.

• Rebuilt 47RH trans with O/D on switch

• 205 transfer case.

• Dana 60 front end and 14 full float rear.

• New brake booster,

• New power steering pump and vacuum pump.

• New internal regulator alternator

• 16 inch wheels with 36" Swamper tires

• 410 gears but the overdrive helps move it down the road nicely.

  Remaining issues with truck:

• The tank that the truck is running off of is drivers side- Where you put the nozzle is still the gas size opening. You can still fill up obviously but it takes a little patience. Need to take the neck off and cut out the hole bigger on the inside of the fill tube (not a huge job).

• I bought brand new mirrors and when I got them, driver side mirror is cracked, I went ahead and installed them. There are two 3/8 holes in each door from the old mirrors that will need addressed before paint.

• Needs headliner, I have the old one for template.

• Passenger tank needs converted to Diesel, had plans to install tank in bed and remove original tanks.

• Transfer case was resealed, output seal leaked and I installed a speedy sleeve on the yoke, seems to have fixed it.

• It has new rear main seal but was seeping for a while but seems to have stopped now.

• Electric windows work as should, electric lock works good but unlock only works sometimes May need a switch.

• The front end is all tight but sometimes you get a wobble at the left front tire, I put balancing beads in tire but still does it sometimes. I would suspect the tire, was going to address that when I bought new tires.

• No accident history that I'm aware of. could use body mount cushions on the bed.

• Clear coat was peeling so it was sanded down and primed (grey).

Truckdrives nice, Body in excellent condition and interior is nice. I have only had it in 4x4 once when I offloaded from the trailer the guy brought it to me on from Utah. It is really a nice truck and I have over $21,000 tied up in it to get it where it is right now, but I need to sale to redirect funds to other project.
