Hey Mike I actually don't know the diff ratios top of mind. And honestly its been running around a ranch without a ton of hwy use so MPG numbers aren't useful to you either unfortunately. Speedo is still in KPH also. If we compare to the jeep wrangler platform, the 35's on 4.56 with a manual should yield around 20 mpg. More with slower hwy speeds.
@ that display comes stock with the Cummins r2.8 crate engine , its there cuz even if u don't have any dash board stuff hooked up u can still see the rpm, temperature & other stuff of the engine!
Brotha you might already have the right trans! Is yours a manual trans? There are a ton of trans options for these, but the NV3550 and AX15 Jeep 5 speeds work awesome.
@@Jmschnider well bummer. That one isn't up to the task, but if you want a manual, then the Ax15 or NV3550 would be awesome. We did a TJ and there are a few videos of it on my TH-cam channel. I need to get the rest done still 🤔
Hi Joseph, it's mated to an NV3550 5 speed. The current build RHD 90 is receiving an NV4500 for it's more forward-oriented shifter location. We also have 8 speed auto options as well for those wanting a slush box!
@@joedemp27 we've toyed with the idea but the torque ratings on most of the Rover manuals is barely adequate for the stock tune. We can get this engine to 380 tq reliably and the R380 in most forms wont put up with that abuse. I'd love to keep the original trans personally. It'd make the swap an easier proposition.
@@joedemp27 yes sir I did talk to Ashcroft on that, but there's something about the LT that the adapter engineers didnt like. I will ask on the LT and let you know however!
@@brendenburr4640 of course! Are you looking to have us perform the install for you? Give me a ring when you can b/t 8 and 5 mountain time. 406-551-2777 and if I'm not here when you call I'll call you back asap.

I so want one for my crown vic.
Such a nice setup. I’m thinking about that engine for a 90s f150 build. Man that was smooth.
Might be a little under powered for a 4x4. 2wd with stock ish size tires and a good overdrive would be an MPG monster!
@@DieselPros it would just be a daily and the heaviest thing it would ever tow would be a lawn mower on a small trailer.
@@tmannpd7290 well, at 300+ lb/ft it'd probably work awesome!
That is an awesome rig man!
Thanks Roman!
Have a 84 mostly, 110 thinking about doing the same swap where are you guys located?
What kinda fuel mileage are you getting out of the 2.8? What are your diff. gear ratios?

How long have you been with that engine bro ? Can you tell me the pros and cons of it ?
And you will use it as a daily driver ?
Can you ask my question how much these for R 2.8 Cummins Crate Engine and Miles Per Gallons?
Engine package from cummins runs between 7500 and 9000 depending on the time of year
Mpg is really subjective! Depends on the driver, tires, etc. As an average I'd say this engine in the 90 is capable of averaging 20 mpg
@paquitos hammer these are designed for 98 and older vehicles. They meet emissions standars for that era of diesel engines.
Do these smoke this much stock? Not like it’s a bad thing, just surprising
No not much. Cold start has a little haze
What gauge have you installed in binnacle - is it some kind of multifuncion display ?
Yes it is. It's a Murphy gauge
@@DieselPros one on the left side? With small LCD and two buttons?
@ Yes
@ that display comes stock with the Cummins r2.8 crate engine , its there cuz even if u don't have any dash board stuff hooked up u can still see the rpm, temperature & other stuff of the engine!
Blockheater is always good to have
Depends where you live I'd say 🤷♂️
Putting Sparta list together for this to go into my 2000 Cherokee XJ, what transmission do these require?
Brotha you might already have the right trans! Is yours a manual trans? There are a ton of trans options for these, but the NV3550 and AX15 Jeep 5 speeds work awesome.
Diesel Pros I have the 4 speed auto
@@Jmschnider well bummer. That one isn't up to the task, but if you want a manual, then the Ax15 or NV3550 would be awesome. We did a TJ and there are a few videos of it on my TH-cam channel. I need to get the rest done still 🤔
Diesel Pros I’ll check them out! Thank you
What are those tires? Sweet rig!
Those are a 255/85/16 BFG KM3
What’s the price of these builds?
On the defender platform they run b/t 25 and 50 grand depending on options.
Do you do installs of these engines?
We do
What’s the difference between this engine and the 300tdi or 200tdi?
Quite a lot actually. Biggest difference.....modern common rail fuel injection.
Think it'll fit in an 05 Scion TC?
Well, if it don't, I'll fuckin make it fit.
Let er rip tater chip!
You say “common rail clatter” like the way a diesel sounds is bad.
Not bad 👉 just a reality
Common rails are an order of magnitude more quiet than regular diesels
wow!
Looking at replacing my old 305 in my 84 C10 with one of these
It'd be an upgrade!
whats the gas mileage like?
Estimating 20-25 mpg
What transmission is it linked to
Hi Joseph, it's mated to an NV3550 5 speed. The current build RHD 90 is receiving an NV4500 for it's more forward-oriented shifter location. We also have 8 speed auto options as well for those wanting a slush box!
Have you ever mated to original transmission, my 110 has a hydraulic winch driven from transmission

My 110 is running a LT77 might look into a upgrade with Ashcroft transmission

Is that the made in China engine? The 4bt.
This is the r2.8 made by Cummins especially for swaps and builds
@@romandashkevich9780 Gotcha. Still impressed with it now it's been in the truck a while?
@@bigbill74scots I have no experience with the r2.8 or 4bt but always thought a 4bt swapped 4x4 truck or overlander would be awesome
@@romandashkevich9780 yes they are a chinese block from cummins china. they come in foton tunland pickups
will you help me 2.8 swap my ranger
Sounds fun! What year is the Ranger?
02! clean truck im just new to trucks and would love to have a small diesel
That would be a cool project for sure!
would you be down to help me out?
