Water pumps fit and the Stellings headers are huge. Will know in a couple days what hatch we will need either a raised race hatch or a flat with scoops still debating.

I been looking for awhile for just the right truck for the Cat and finally found one.
Make: Dodge Dually Mega Cab 4x4 Laramie package.
Model: Ram 3500
Mileage: 62,800
Engine: 5.9 Cummins Diesel
All stock except for the 2" front end leveling kit on it. Bed cover. I have ordered a 70 gal. wedge style tank for the bed. Seems to get 18-19 GPM empty.

Running into a hurdle , the shortest drive shaft is 10'', the dual stage sea pump is hitting the bulk head and still can't get the 10'' shaft in.
Even it the shaft fit, the sea pump would be unserviceable.

I see enough material there to cut, machine and weld them shorter by an inch or two. Although that doesn't look like that's enough.

We just moved the sea water pumps from the front to the side to allow enough room for the drive shafts. This cat was set up originally for crash boxes witch are a couple inches shorter. All's good now.
