Look up M715 on eBay. Check the classifieds on Steelsoldiers.com and the M715zone.com

FrankenJeep is dead. Lost oil pressure and the engine is now knockin'. Time for another motor swap or sell it.

You can never win mike. Its a shame, i love this truck tho lol

It's been a while since I posted anything. Motor swap is complete. Didn't take too many pics, just kind of threw it together. The engine is a tight fit, rubs on the firewall at times. I now have an intercooler shoved in front of the radiator too. The power from a bone-stock 12 valve Cummins is far better than my worked up 4 cylinder Cummins.

My GPS has clocked me at 90+ mph with plenty of room to move on the go pedal. Downright scary in this truck.

No pics to post, so just ride along with me in this video....

It was for sale for 4 months on CL when the motor started knockin'. Everything is for sale, just a matter of coming to an agreement.

I can't say I have been searching for one. Hopefully come spring time I will be in a much better position.

Truck looks sweet though. Loved it with the 4 banger, this must haul ass now.

Thanks. the truck isn't looking as good as when I painted it. It has been outdoors since then and some rust has come back to haunt me. Got to address that soon.

It does haul ass now, and a lot more firewood.
