That's got to be a great feeling.

Absolutely!!! There have been some difficult moments in the last three weeks of working on this. Now that it runs, it's all good. The beast has been beaten. I just need to tidy things up and finish the front end fabrication.

Something that may not be apparent to many folks is that I've had no less than a dozen "experts" tell me that this wasn't possible. Diesel mechanics, engine tuners, engineers, an owner of a diesel conversion company, a Cummins executive and a few internet know-it-alls.... all of them told me I was nuts and wasting my money on that electronic mess.

This is one of the, if not the, first 4th Gen 6.7Ls with the CM2350B controller to run standalone with NO TIPM, NO SKIM, NO Sentry Key.... The Chrysler harness has been stripped down to the bare minimum of wires. None of the extra stuff from the truck was needed.

Thanks to all who have followed along for such a long period of time. It's all downhill from here! The rest of this should be a piece of cake (well...I haven't gotten into the Allison electronics much yet. How hard could it be? haha).

Unbelievable!

So how about a go-fund-me page to mass produce a conversion kit?.....Hmmm
