Has anybody put a Compressed Natural Gas system into one of our trucks or can anyone recommend an outfit to do a conversion? With all of the hype surrounding this right now, I would expect some cost effective conversions to be appearing

I am not sure about current prices, but a while back my Dad looked into doing this with his GMC Sierra 1500. He was going to do propane instead of CNG, but the place recommended to him by a GM dealsership quoted a price of ~$5k

He is still running on gas.

ran into this topic on the t boone pickens site. i would love to put it on my ram but there isnt any cng sites that i can find in Ohio.

 

i converted my dakota r/t, and i am going to convert my 08 ram i just purchased.. if you can bend tubing and use to wiring you can do it yourself. then you need to setup the ecu with a laptop after your done. i converted a lincoln ls also, fords suck.

 

bomrat - thats cool news. You must be somewhere you can easily get the gas. I believe Utah is selling it at just over $1 gallon !! I checked the St Louis Missouri area and found one filling station that is 25 miles from work though I heard someone has a kit that allows you to fill up from a home gas supply. I would love to see a post from you on the Ram install
