Just found this forum and it is awesome. I love some of the modifications that are being done - like later steering wheels with controls, Dodge flip out mirrors, etc.

Here is my 1996 GMC Suburban 2500:

6bt Cummins out of a 1993 Dodge
1994 Dodge Radiator and Intercooler
4" Exhaust
Stock 4L80E Transmission with Controller
Air Dog Fuel Pump
A-Pillar Gauge Pod with EGT, Trans Temp and Boost
LED Taillights
2010 GMC 17" Wheels
Steel Cowl Induction Hood (had to run this to clear the A/C with the Cummins)

Here is a pic of the Intercooler behind the A/C Condenser:

I enjoyed watching you build over time on 4btswaps. Glad you found this site. We need more engine swappers here.

Thanks for the compliments!

Currently, I get about 18 without a load and 13 towing our 8-10k travel trailer. I expected a little more but the truck has 4.10 gears which are a little steep for the Cummins since it only goes to about 2800 before it starts defueling itself.
