    One of the trucks started to get oil in coolant reservoir I took off the oil cooler this evening tested it and it tested good. Truck is 2006 t2000 with c15 acert it's 974k I found a recently rebuilt 2ws with papers in northern WI for 8000 from my brothers inlaw so I'm thinking about throwing out the Acert and putting the 3406e in it's place but I'm not sure how much conversions I need to mess with, has anyone ever done such conversion all the help is appreciated

    You will need the ecm for the 2ws. And believe you will also need a new engine wiring harness as well. You will probably need different cac pipes for hot and cold sides as well.

    The engine comes complete with harness and ecm, but his truck is a western star so I'm I gonna need a complete new harness?

    No need to change engine wiring harness and on a 2ws the cab to ecm is also good just bolt it in and ride.

    I thought a 2006 would have a 120 pin ecm, 2ws a 70 pin.

    The plug between the engine and truck is a 70 pin on the Acert engines. You'll have some issues to work out with the ECM communicating with the dashboard gauges, but it's fairly easy to fix.

    The problem I don't like is the engine from a Western Star has a low mount turbo. I'd change the exhaust manifold to a mid-mount for better exhaust flow

    Yes It's 120 on the engine side, but 70 on the cab side.

    Thank you everyone, I came to the shop early and engine is almost ready to come out but I need to wait til someone gets here so I can take it out. At this point I need the truck to go back rolling I found acert in west Virginia that looks great with 326k for 7800 out the door no core, I'm probably gonna take the acert route because I don't have cat et and I don't wanna get into more trouble and plus my driver/uncle is using my truck right now were relocating a factory from Chicago to milwaukee so things get tight at times
