Thats weird. All your pulleys look the same size as mine. This is the only photo I can access at the moment. Maybe you can spot a difference.

Did you use Dustin's fan pulley relocation bracket, or are you running the stock dodge one?
subs
Running electric fans so my guess it's stock.
Looking at both photos together your fan pulley looks to be more centered than mine is or it could be the angle of the camera deceiving me. Is that the relocation bracket on yours? I then looked at an early photo of mine and the pulley is removed so maybe mine does have a relocation bracket on it. Can't inspect till I get back from Canada on Tuesday.

Mine has the relocation bracket. It brings the fan down and to the passenger side so if you are running the mechanical fan it is closer to the stock toyota position. It looks to me from your picture that you are running the stock one, which would definitely use up more belt, so I bet that is the difference. The original one is a cast piece, and the one that comes in the kit is welded together.
What is the coolant line and sensor up top for, is that your heater return, and coolant temp? My heater return comes off down by the lower radiator hose, and the coolant temp sender and cut-off are on the drivers side back towards the firewall.
Sensor turns on the fans. Coolant line goes to the little nipple on the stock rad.

Why not run the stock Cummins clutch fan?

I have not gotten to the point of installing the engine in the vehicle, but part of the kit/instructions is lowering the steering box support bar to make room for the oil pan. Also, I would highly recommend that you not start on your project until you have the entire kit, it takes a while to get everything from them(months). So just make sure you go into this with that in mind.
@justinlyman , that's the plan. I'm attacking this project from several fronts, and there's so much to do, so It's ok if there are prolonged periods of downtime on one front. I planned for months of downtime, so it's ok.
Any update? Looking forward to see how this 215HP p pump runs in a 80 series.
Anyone have a link to this air box? I tried googling "Diesel Adapters" and got a bunch of other stuff.... TIA
It's one Dustin had or has made. Nice unit.

I have finally come up with an appropriate name for this cruiser, I dub it Coalbert.
It changed so many times, no telling what it is now.
Won't fit
Isuzu diesels are better, more power, better mpg's and stuff. You should check those out.
Custom, part of his kit.
