    well my n14 locked up on me. so now i think im going to swap in a c15 cat i think i can get a rebuilt one for around 10k. has any one done this on here
    that might be able to give me some pointers.

    i think i found a place to get the wiring from. and i know im going to need the coolant tubes and cac pipes. what other problems might i run in to?

    and if i do this i will have a 725hp ecm and a 1 week old fuel pump for sale
    thanks for the replys

    The mountings of the motor will also have to be moved. The Cummins is a few inches longer than the CAT. It's not a big issue and can be done, If you move the front one you won't have problems with the drive shaft and clutch linkages.

    I was going to say....I did a 98 W900 from N-14 to E model. Mounts were identical.....real straightforward after wiring harness.
