Just got home with a Dmax/Allison that came out of a freight damaged 05 truck (zero miles). Scary to think what's ahead but I'm in no hurry. It's going into my 93 that was originally a 454, converted to 6.5 before I purchased it, seized due to STUPID quick release oil line popping off.

It has all accessories, Allison attached, wiring harness including cab fuse box, complete dash (except stereo), computers, rad, intercooler with piping, exhaust downpipe, transfer case, front d-shaft, and fuel tank. I know there's more I'll need but I think it's a good start. I'd have liked to have the whole truck but this was affordable.

Part of the reason for starting the post is to share info with anyone else whose doing this and get help from those who've done it. I have Jim's book of course and am sure it'll be a huge help.

A couple things I have to work out are the dash, steering column, and tranny linkage. I understand the 05 dash would be tough to mod for the 93 but somewhere between (98 - 01?) would go in and accept the 05 instrument panel? Does this sound right?

Maybe an 05 steering column for the linkage? I guess there will be wiring issues for the ignition wipers, cruise.

I won't really get into it until fall but would like to scout for the extra parts I'll need.

Any others out there with a conversion disorder? :}
