1993 Dodge W350 Cummins Dually "Project Night Shift" Full Build Transformation

Project Night Shift: Barn Find to Highway Hauler

• 💡 The project, "Night Shift," began with a 1993 Dodge Ram W350 Cummins Dually found in a barn, aiming for a significant attitude adjustment.
• 🚀 The goal was to double the original horsepower, overhaul the suspension, and apply a custom two-tone paint job, transforming it into a stylish highway hauler.

Engine Performance and Upgrades

• ⚙️ The iconic 12-valve Cummins engine was the heart of the build, with plans to enhance its performance through a turbo boost, bigger injectors, and new hardware.
• 🛠️ A key upgrade involved swapping the VE pump for a P7100 injection pump for improved fuel efficiency and power delivery.
• 💨 A larger BorgWarner T3 turbocharger was installed to match the increased fuel supply and maintain the air-to-fuel ratio.

Suspension and Drivetrain Overhaul

• 🔧 The truck received a complete suspension overhaul, including a front coilover conversion and a rear four-link system.
• 🛑 Stopping power was significantly improved with a rear disc brake conversion and an upgrade to the front brakes with PowerStop Z36 carbon fiber ceramic pads and rotors.
• ⚙️ The original transmission was replaced with an ATS Diesel Allison 1000 kit, requiring a second-gen adapter plate and rear crossmember for compatibility.

Custom Paint and Interior

• 🎨 A striking two-tone black and gray metallic paint job with a red pinstripe was applied, complemented by shaved trim molding for a clean, sinister look.
• ✨ The interior received a modern update with custom TMI Pro Classic lowback seats, a Dakota Digital VHX instrument cluster, and refinished door panels.
• 💡 Custom lighting, including an XK Glow light bar and cube lights, was added to enhance the truck's aggressive profile.

Drivability and Final Touches

• 🔊 Sound and heat insulation were installed using Thermotech's acoustic mat to significantly improve the cabin's comfort.
• 💨 The fuel system was upgraded with a FASS Titanium Signature Series fuel pump and filter system for optimal fuel delivery and protection.
• 🚗 The build concluded with custom Ultra Scorpion Dually wheels and 35-inch off-road tires, completing the aggressive stance and highway-ready configuration.
