Part of the reason behind using the longer hose is the cooler is deleted and it is important for the power steering pump for a cooler

There is a lot of small time consuming things involved in this swap, especially if you are doing an NV4500. 3-4 days would be impressive, but unrealistic I think.
Well I've been involved/done 4 swaps so far and I've learned a few tricks for a first timer I would agree

I wish you luck. Make sure to through a build thread up so we can all follow.
No time for pics and a build thread if you're doing a Cummins/NV4500 swap in 3 days! No time for sleep either.
TRICK ONE: know where diesel adapters is located and take something as ransom to insure delivery in a timely manor. did you order a your kit a year ago? because most of the recent reports are that he's taking about that long to fill orders...

I have never had good luck getting him on the phone, but he usually responds to my emails if they are short questions.
The 800 is down he is in the process of building a new shop and setting it up it's a lot of work

Don't want to be rude, but can you guys move this discussion into the vendor forum? I would like to keep this thread focused on my build.
You have a PM

With the fan pulley relocation bracket, can you run a Toyota OEM radiator fan shroud with the Dodge fan?
What fan and shroud combo is supposed to be used with the relocation bracket?

You use the Dodge fan with the relocation bracket, the Toyota shroud does not work with it, I am running without a shroud.

Are you running the OEM Toyota radiator? Do you have any clearance issues with the fan hitting the bypass nipple at the top of the radiator?
I’ve read that the earlier ‘89 Dodge fans are smaller. Maybe they don’t hit the nipple?

You cut that nipple off and plug the hole, it is not used.

Gotcha. What is the bypass nipple for anyway? Why did Toyota have it in the first place?
