Anyone installed a 2nd gen 12v?

Has anyone installed a 2nd gen 12v into there truck. If so what is involved and what was done with the motor mounts? Was anything special needed? How much 1st gen wiring was used. Thanks,

I installed a 24 valve into my 92. The motor mounts from my 92 bolted right up.

Did you use all 92 mount parts and screw it to the block, or did you use the 24 block mount peice to have a half 92 and half 24v mounts? Thanks

It's been a while. I believe it is all 92 parts. I could take a picture if it would help.

We put a '96 12V in my sons '90, everything fits fine. The main change was in the throttle connection, but all the sensors, etc. from the '90 were used on the '96. We also used the rad core support, rad, rad shroud, intercooler, CAC tubes, A/C condenser, etc off a '93 to upgrade the install...

Part of the reason why I am questioning is becaust the mounts seem to be in a differant location on the 98 motor, mabee just an optical allution.

You used all of the 90 wiring harnes? Can that be done? How did you get around the grid heater and electric shutoff solinoids? I like this idea. Tell me more Oo. Thanks

BW, if the 98 engine is not from a Dodge truck then it will have different mounts.

BSchwarzli,



Yes the wire harness from the '90 was used. The grid heaters were just moved from the '90 to the '96. The '96 start stop solenoid was hooked up through the wiring of the '90. The only real snag we had was throttle cable and we were able to find the bracket and cable from Freightliner, which worked great on the Dodge. Somewhere in the archives are the numbers for these items that I posted way back when.....

I searched for pics of the 2nd gen engine in the 90. I found a picture of the exhaust side. I was wondering if there are any pics available of the fuel pump side with the freightliner throttle linkage. I am very interested as I would consider using it when installing a 97 in my 89. How about it Gray Wolf? Thanks, John.

Thanks, Grey Wolf I would appreciate that very much. I did a search and have the part #s you listed back in 2004, and believe that is the route I will go. Again, thank you. John
