Hello
Hello all, I'm Apsieguy AKA Flynn. I am a person with High Functioning Autism (HFA). My ultimate goal is to have a 210/220 for myself to live/travel in. That would include a total remodel of the inside. And the addition of a Dodge Diesel motor. I'm of the opinion of "MOPAR OR NO CAR". . In the meantime I'm going to to read every single thread to learn everything i can!

Re: Hello
Welcome to the forum. Good luck finding that Dodge diesel as they didn't mke one...lol They used a Mitsubishi in the 70s and a Cummins in the late 80 and up. Now you can get a ram truck with a Fiat Diesel... Enjoy the reading
There is a ton of info here and links to even more if needed.

Re: Hello
I wonder how that eco diesel would work in a Travco. It is rated about the same in Horsepower and higher in torque than the 1976 440. If the Cummins crowd is getting 15 mpg what would the eco diesel do???. Interesting posibilities.

Re: Hello
Very true but the old P pump 5.9s have quite a following and not always the easiest to find. Then of corse you would need an OD transmission or a better ratio for the rear diff. That would probably be easy for a 220 with its 8 lug axles. A dana 70 with the 3.07 out of a late 80s cummins D350 comes to mind.

Re: Hello
To answer your question, 4wd has been done. Custom driveshafts are a necessity. Spring pads on the axle might need moving. The rear may need a lift to level as the front axle will raise the front a little.
