75 Dodge D200 Club Cab Cummins swap project

[rcts]

1975 Dodge Cummins D200 Club Cab, finished!

Well it took 10 days and we are finished the project. Only thing left is to put the grill back in when I get my new bosch headlights tomorrow.

All the cummins electrical systems we moved from the 92 CTD single board ecu are working perfectly; Grid heaters, water in fuel warning, wait to start warning, check engine, charging system, cruise control, lockout and temp safety system for over drive. Dana 70 and drive shaft are installed. Extra fuel tanks are working, the great transfer pump I purchased pumps 4 liters per minute from the side tanks through the floor tank select valve to the main tank.

Tomorrow we fit the new head light bulbs, grill and exhaust system. Test drive tomorrow!

1975 D200 Club Cab Cummins swap truck, boost is up!

With no camper or trailer loads on my 1975 D200 Club Cab Cummins swap truck, boost is 18 psi when under throttle in high gears, I've noticed that boost falls off as rev's build in gears, then boost comes back up again after shifts

Normal?

I Just have the pyro and boost hooked up today. Cruise on steep hills sees 600 F.
Its still balmy warm in Calgary, no need to plug in, mornings are -14C wait to start is 15 to 20 seconds, then it goes. I'm running 15-40, too thick for my liking, cranking is slow but she still starts fine. Second stage grid heaters kick in and burry the stock 75 amp meter on dash. After about 6 kick in and out she stops kicking in and you are still just driving along

Dodge should have had the 75 with this engine and they would have been even further ahead of the pack. Amazing power smoothness and economy. NO SMOKE!

Putting camper back on tomorrow!

First 4500 mile Road trip in 1975 D200 Club Cab Cummins powered

Over the Christmas break I drove my 1975 D200 Club Cab Cummins power from Calgary down to Salt Lake Vegas, LA, then back up the PCH #1 and 101 to see friends and family who live along the way. The cummins is amazing in the steep mountain grades as making as much as 20 psi boost on cruise control. Fuel economy ran between 18 and 22 on the US Gallon. No problems with the truck at all. The tune is perfect, no smoke at all and my 0-40 Mobile 1 oil did not discolor at all it’s still clean now and I’m home again. In Portland I met up for coffee with Farmer_01 Doug from the Diesel Truck Resource Forum.

As well on the road I ran into Desperado of the NW Bombers forum at a Flying J fuel station. Desperado noticed my truck and said, “Hay are you a Member of the North West Bombers Forum, are you from Canada, you guys just built that Cummins 75 I was following it on the forum”

Thanks for all your help guys.

Hawk, that is one nice old dodge motor home cummins swap, what a cool rig! How long have you owned this and how long have you had the cummins, as you and I know its fantastic to have the cummins vers the Gas V8 guzzler.

Nice job, if you have more pictures of your rig send them to me or post them on my 75 D200 cummins site.
