12 valve in a half ton.

How did that effect the stock guages from working ?

No it didnt. A buddy of mine that did a similar swap into an 08 told me what he did. He adapted the 4.7 tone ring to the cummins balancer and built a bracket for the crank sensor. Now his tach, oil pressure, and ac clutch work properly. I'm going to copy him on that.

It shines in the right places! K5IP.

How did he do that , id like to see that , what is the trick ? Does that only affect the tach ? I know on full size class 8 trucks (Peterbilts,Kenworths etc ) for electric tachs they put a sensor in the bell housing but no mods to the flywheel

He is supposed to send me pics today. I'll post then when he does. The crank sensor is the key for most things on the Dodge gas ecm. It controls the tach, oil pressure, and ac compressor factory system.

The v10 might have it inside attached to the crank. My 4.7 did. Had to tear a core motor apart.

Were you and your buddie both running 90 engine ?
As the 91.5 up had factory tach provisions on the engine , as my 92 has the sensor just above the harmonic balancer

Yes we were. That's true you do have the sensor on yours. I'm not sure how to make it work for yours but at least it's there. Lol

What did you do to the stock line to use it for a return line ,I'm thinking about buying a sump kit just so I don't have to run the return hose so crazy

Yes I bought a beans diesel sump kit for mine and a fass pump. I just ran a 1/4" hose from the return line down the rail next to the actual fuel line and into the top of the tank. I actually used the old fuel pump line on the truck as the return line in the top. I removed the actual sending unit but left the float system in the tank.

 

[DVolk]

Why could a person just use the whole set up s a return line ?

You could but I didn't like how my fuel line looked and it was 10 years old. I just decided to run a new one.

 

[DVolk]

My hard line looks new , truck only has 120K

Hey on your guages what did you all do granted I need to check all of the grounds yet , I have none coming on line nor do I seem to charge yet .I have no oil pressure guage or water temp or tach etc I'm using all the stufffrom the v 10 what are using and what did you all cut off ?
