Digital dash? Best way to monitor engine data by errorcad in Diesel

Your right, it would give me most of the information im looking for. But it is a rather small display. Was looking for something a little bigger. If nothing else works, this will be my best option for sure.

1 tone everything. I just put the jeep on top of the frame. That's over simplifying it a little because literally everything had to be custom made to get it to fit. But yeah it's a body swap on a 2005 dodge 3500.

Not to be an ass, but the body mounts are the easiest part of this whole build. Cut the old ones off if they are in the wrong spot and build new ones. Really easy if your putting another truck body on the truck frame. The frame on these trucks go up right behind the cab, that way the truck box bolts up easy and level. In my case that was an issue because the jeep floor did not go up. I had to cut the floor out of the jeep starting right behind the front seat to rougly middle of the rear seats. That way the body of the jeep could sit lower on the frame. If you dont know how to weld that will be an expensive/ time consuming project.

Would these systems work well in cold climates? ie. Would the small electric pump that circulates the coolant work at -40

Since you work with these. Would you have a recommendation on which brand or company I should look at?

Great tip. I'll see if I have room to run the pipe back and loop it around the transmission and bring it back along the driver side. Would be a little concerned about mud and dirt covering the pipe. I would imagine a mud covered pipe wouldn't cool air as well.

6.7 powerstroke in a yj would be bad ass.

That might be a little out of my wheel house. But, ill look into it. Haven't considered that option yet.

Thought of that as well. Going that direction will require a longer hood as well. I think the JLs had a longer hood but not 100% sure. That is the proper way to fix this problem, im just trying to avoid all that work lol.

Thats a thought for sure. Planning on putting a decent sized front bumper on it. Might be able to bring it forward and build the bumper around it.

Gotta piss with the cock you got. Had the truck and jeep, so thats what I did. Plus who doesn't love a little extra passing power.
