thank you, Moses. I will give it a thought about what I should do. Your help has been greatly appreciated and I will keep it in mind when deciding what to do. Once again, Thank you.

would it at all be possible to get a scrapped cummings of around the same year and pull the parts from that? it was an idea i came upon, would that be compatible to the truck I have now?

My truck has a 4 speed auto transmission with DRW in the back. The wheelbase is 160.5 because it's the quad cab version. Thank you for replying

Hi, Benji...The truck sounds solid and worth keeping.  I have a 2005 Ram 3500 we purchased new with the 5.9L Cummins and 48RE transmission.  Which transmission do you have?  Is this an automatic (4-speed/overdrive) or a manual transmission?  That would impact the cost of conversion to a diesel. 

Glad to comment once you describe the rest of the powertrain and chassis.  Is this a DRW or SRW model?   Wheelbase length?

Hi, I have a Third Gen 2002 Ram 3500 4x4 with an 8 liter v10 in it. It is a low mileage truck and I have been wanting to convert it into a diesel for a while now. It only has 93,000 miles on it and is well maintained. I was wondering what all I would have to do to convert this truck into a diesel, and how much it would cost. I have been messing around with the idea for a while now, but I now have some free time to change the engine if I have the money. Please help me find about how much it would cost to do this, thank you.
