    This is how she looked when we bought her off EBay.

The truck is a '92 Dodge D-350 with a 5.9 liter 12 valve Cummins Six cylinder Diesel.  We just changed over to Lucas Delphi injectors and replaced the 16cm / H1C Turbo with a Piers Diesel Research HX-40.  The exhaust is 4" pipe over the axle and out the right side.  We have added Auto-Meter Pro-Comp gauges in a custom 4-gauge pod.  An Allison transmission and auxiliary transmission are in the works as well as an exhaust brake. 

We just installed the HX-40 and 4" exhaust.  The areas of concern were the clearance to the firewall and making the bend to fit between the frame and the block / transmission cooler lines.  Also, as shipped, it is 3"-4" too tall.  If you click on the thumbnail you will be taken to a MUCH larger picture that lets you see the areas that were cut and welded to make it fit.  Now that we have the injectors and HX-40 installed it really needs that transmission upgrade.

  This is our four gauge pod.  The picture was taken before final paint and installation of split loom.  The construction is very simple.  We just made up a cardboard form and used fiberglass matt and poly-resin to form the basic shell.  The face is 3/16" Luan plywood with a walnut stain.  It is mounted using L-brackets inserted through slots cut in the side and then epoxied in place.

  This is our air box.  It butts up against the back of the headlight valance.  Together with the K&N air filter it dropped our EGT's and really let's the Turbo Whined up.  Like our gauge pod, it is made of fiberglass over a cardboard form.
