adam6604 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Probably a dumb question but would like to know just incase. I'll be selling my ram to buy my dads turbo cummins ram. Has 4 doors, fully loaded etc. Was wondering if it's as simple as my truck to put my system in it. I wouldn't see why not lol.. Quote Driving my 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 MEGA cab with the 5.7 hemi.

adam6604 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Nice lol selling my truck and the system so I'll do probably a skar build in the diesel when funds allow. I was like 99% sure it wouldn't be any different to run a system lol Quote Driving my 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 MEGA cab with the 5.7 hemi.

fox_racin4 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Probly tough to find an alt tho Since not many diesel owners will hold their trucks at 2000rpm Quote 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenton Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) i think the cummins have higher output alts anyways. i may be mistaken but im pretty sure they do. it may not be by much tho but i remember reading it somewhere. if anything the high output alt would be for the intake heater grid thats only when its like below 50 degrees tho. i think they can draw over 100 amps. plus your fuel system will also draw power too. so the high output alt from the factory seems like it might be true.

nemesis Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 my truck is a 2007 5.9. the voltage will get up above 16 and kick older amp off. when you are playing hard running down the road and when it is cold and the heater comes on on the motor had a kicker zx 650.4 it kicked off . but the newer digital amps are fine.

I have an 01 5.9 24 valve cummins and the voltage is fine on 2k it doesn't fluctuate either so idk if that's cummins or just nemesis' truck. And its no different, probably easier cause it's already bigger Quote so far...

kryptonite Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 If all else fails, just have an overdrive pulley put onto the high output alternator you get to make up for the lack of engine rpm, just keep the ratio proper Quote DC SOUND LAB NUT HUGGERCurrently Own 4 - 18" lvl 6s (m3) w/full Carbon Fiber option 2 - DC 5k lvl 4 motor lvl 2 motor On 8/2/2013 at 8:13 PM, n8ball2013 said: this is much worse.
