I have been looking to swap a 12v or 4bt into my 2004 gas ram 2500 and can’t seem to find any videos or any real info on how to do the swap I don’t care about keeping stock gauges but I would like to keep my power windows and ac also does 10k include an engine and tranny or is it 10k+ the engine and tranny thanks for the good info you provide even if you don’t get back to me
Thanks for sitting down and talking through the real world complications of this kind of project. I think almost anybody that's a car guy is hot and bothered over 4BT swaps. I sure am! But I know I'll never have the resources to accomplish it. But I love these videos and I love watching and learning. Who knows, maybe getting to see how it's done will help me learn down the road and do something cool too.
I like how you got right down to it without beating around the bush.10k ballpark is not bad at all especially if its going on a truck you plan on keeping for a while. This is the first video of yours I watch, but you have definitely gotten my attention. I am definitely subbing to your channel.
Just wrapping up my 5.9 gas to 12 valve swap, total cost of the swap was around $4,500, including little odds and ends, engine crane, plywood, and the hundreds of hand warmers because of a Pennsylvania December.
5 years and 100k miles later it still runs and drives and has survived starting a family, from hauling firewood to 10k lbs of scrap. A few things here and there but nothing out of the ordinary and it wasn't hard at all. I was 18 in this comment^
Funny that I'm watching this considering I'm about to swap a John Deere 4045T into my 2005 F150. It's also getting a G56 manual and axles and suspension from an F350. Transmission and transfer case been freshly rebuilt, motor is brand new and has some extra parts to put some pep in her step, axles also rebuilt. Tearing the truck apart completely and rebuilding everything so every square inch of the truck will be in pristine condition.
Totally understandable, great video, as a farmer in Alberta I put a 4BT in our 1984 Stackcruiser which has been excellent and (almost) trouble free since, and a 6BT in our 70's International tractor that we use for running augers and misc stuff here, thanks in part to your great videos. Thank you, warmest regards to you and yours.
@@AllPainNoGains It's just biden printing money to give away. Trump did it a little, but over 90% less. Always look to dem commies to spend other people's money. Populists (trump) are generally against it.
I did my 1978 f250 12 valve and Hell yeah! Its worth it almost 20 mpg instead of 9mpg. 10 grand is on the money give or take a few dollars. If you need a run down on a 78 or 79 let me know, Rock on!!!
I swapped a 6.925 litre udfe6ta into a 1989 4x2 f250 used everything out of a 1997 coffee 88 truck motor clutch 6 speed box.been using it for 5 years everyday ,does hard work.super reliable. Most Japanese diesels red line at over 3000 rpm .pulls like a bull
I subscribed later than most have.. I started watching when rich went to derrick (VGG) to install the fuel injection system in the bronco. I think I subscribed when rich was building the cab-over.
DEBOSS GARAGE if you EVER have a chance to do a 4bt swap into a Ranger, PLEASE do a video series. There are about 1.3 million Ranger owners that are currently lusting after a 4bt Ranger, lol!!!
It can also affect your weight so expect suspension or brake changes if your vehicles motor weighs less than your new one. Last thing you want is to hit the brakes and the vehicle dips the wrong way.
Thanks for calling it straight. Very rare in this day & age where it seems like everyone else is gloating over their work. This was helpful. Grease on the face didn t hurt as well! Ha ha ha ha
i did a cummims conversion.. i made all the factory dodge parts... hoses,intercooler,radiator,ect ect.. think they where still in the doner... its the only way to go.. get a complete doner and make it work. for instance.. getting the intercooler to fit in my radiator support took 2 days to measure... think about it... measure again. then cut.. worked perfectly.
Hey Mr.Deboss so I Have a 98 K1500 5.7 Vortec Extended Cab 3 door Silverado I recently Purchased it from a older Gentleman who had bought it brand new and had fallen ill and needed the money. The engine and tranny are all original. He had kept it in tip top shape with Transmission Fluid Flushes and Filter changes every 35-40k miles and Oil changes every 2500 Miles Wix and Kn filters were his go too he cleaned it up and sprayed off the snow in the wintertime so there isn’t a single spot of rust on the fenders as most fall victim too aswell as the vehicle does not burn a single drop of oil and has had all the gaskets replaced routinely. My question is I’m looking at doing a 6.5 or 6.2 Detroit Diesel swap or possibly buying a baby duramax crate engine and or just installing a 6.6 or possibly even a 5.9 or smaller cummins engine into it I just would like to get your thoughts on it!
Unfortunately, these Toyota swaps aren't as plug and play as you would think, especially if it has electronics. I found that the wiring harness for the diesel is for a right hand drive truck, so it has to be rebuilt. Also, the gauges don't transfer either, from what I have found. Look up dieseltoys on forums. You will find pretty much everything you will need from those guys. I haven't done the swap yet, so I all I know is what I have read. I could be wrong though. I do know that you would be better off with a half cut which will have everything you will need.
I have a 1970 bronco and got myself an old grumman step van with a 4BT in it and have been dreaming of doing the swap for some time. it runs great and has been a nice moving shed lol. watching your videos has sparked that fire again... keep on doing what your doing man. i may have some questions for you if i can get the ball rolling.
Your main areas (probably) will be the electrical connections and the driveshaft changes/modification. (Please note Johnson's Gee-rage and "Todd Booke's Bronco swap).......His has the 4BT and a 5 speed (m5odr2, I think).....Jimmy (Johnson's Gee-rage) has a 1982 F150 4BT with the m5odr2....he's been building it for perhaps 2 years. His cash outlay has topped $6K, because he's had some issues and other modifications/ additions. He has done most of his own build except the driveshaft modification, and had help rebuilding the m5odr2. Otherwise, Rich is your man.....The $$$ I speak of is US, of course....Canadian is a different exchange rate. Oh yeah.....also the engine mounts/pads/whatever are going to cause grief.......And oil pan location, maybe....
Just finished a 4bt swap in a bv 206 hagglunds with a 3 speed manual transmision.. made all the part my self including the shifter and linkage... very cheap swap!
Always wanted to put a Cummins in my old 04 Honda Civic and have the turbo and whatever else just sticking out of hood. Sold the car because nobody here in Newfoundland where I’m at anyways can do something like you do
Love your channel and am a subscriber. Always look forward to what Frankenstein you're building. I'm about to start a Bt6 in an 04 crew cab that has a Duramax. The motor went down after 296k miles and I'm not replacing that. Already have the Cummins block machined and ready to go forward. Only new the adapter plate and rebuild kit. Gonna lean on your videos pretty hard for the conversion brackets and hopefully make my own videos of the hurdles as well as the triumphs. Thanks again and looking forward to your next vid!
I just bought a truck with the engine I wanted ;) Id rather change a trac bar and steering box as opposed to re engineering a truck. Still 10grand seems like a hellva bargin to me.
Well a hot-rod or race builder could just make a suspension system pretty quick if you strip everything and mount it on solid front/rear clips. It would be lifted as a car or truck tho.
a local guy here charges 15 grand to put a 12v/24v in place of a 6.0l psd, and 17.5+ for a CR 24v into a 6.0l/6.4l with a list of what parts he used on certian areas, not all, but he usally trys to use all the ford stuff, and very little cummins
Had a few 99 24v, and I got a 08 mega cab 6.7 Cummins and blew the 68 towing so got a nv5600 out of a 01 cab and chassis truck, bigger input shaft and I swapped that. I also got a 2003 2500 4 door short bed but it's a hemi and gets 6 mpg sith premium. I'm thinking of swapping that with a 12v and nv4500 or nv5600
The 8.1 in the 03 is getting some major miles on it, close to 200k miles, not kilos. Been thinking about doing the swap because the 8.1 doesn't have much after market support for goodies. I would like to keep the Allison, but not sure about mounting it to the cummins, if it fits or someone makes an adapter for it, it's a bitch'n trany.
Lily Smith : The GM gas 8.1L is/was a terrible fuel pig. A Cummins turbo diesel 5.9L or 6.7L would be a huge improvement, and worthwhile swap so long as the truck is still decent. Keeping the Allison is not that difficult, you'll just have to get a machine shop fabricate an adapter plate for the bell housing. Seems like there may also be something available from the medium-duty truck market, but I don't know for sure.
Jonesy's Auto Club in Oregon has shown that a 6BT is not much different in size from the 6.0L that comes in the 80s Series. Their conversions are awesome. Look up Predator Land Cruiser.
I like the honor,honestly, and the work ethics. just subscribed. I am sure this will be a awsome channel due to the blue on your color and the grease on your hands. looking foward to your videos thanks
I wanna swap a 1973 Ford F-350 dually it’s got the 390fe in it right now but the ultimate goal is duramax swap it, although I’m considering a Cummins for the easier injector repairs and head gaskets
I seriously want you to do the 6bt swap in my CamperVan at some point..I also want to do a 4x4 conversation I’m hoping I can get both done for $15K. I’m selling my Harley-Davison and Land Rover to Fiance it.
Hey wondering if I just got burnt… bought a 99 56block cummins nonrunning. I got the thing running but has a nasty knock. Looking for cracks yet to see any. Paid $1,000+ for the 12vcummins.
Can you put a diesel engine in a hot rod like a 32 ford or 28 dodge. That sort of set up as I have been hoping this to be an original idea to kick around. I would like your professional opinion on something like that as you are well versed in the swap business, and all it entails. Thanks for sharing your channel with the world. Hope to hear from you soon.
I did mine with an adapter from dieseladapters.com. it was super simple for the install. I did the swap in my 2002 TJ. all I can say is use threadlocker on everything and spend plenty of time mocking up the final placement of the engine.
I met a guy one day that was driver I tracker or a sidekick can't remember, he had a 4 cylinder diesel engine in it. He told me it came out of a tugboat
I got a 1994 ford f350 someone 12v cummins swapped and it's been a absolute nightmare. I currently can't get the altinator to charge. New altinator new battery just put in a transpo regulator still not charging. Wiring is a hack job on this truck. I don't know what wire to look for on the ford to tell the altinator to charge. I ran new battery cable to the altinator as well as a new ground I am at a loss
hey recently picked up a 94 sierra 5.7 350. fuckin thing chugs way more than she should i know there not great on gas to begin with but this thing went through pretty near a whole tank in under 100 km anything i should give a go over to try and diagnose the problem, first thing i was guna do is swap out all the plugs and go over the wiring. Fairly mechanically inclined but not traditionally trained Brand new to trucks intermediate experience with small engines (sleds) and some experience with field repairs on heavy equipment.
Came acros your channel and seen engine swap on Tahoe just blew my mind never imagined this was possible I would love to put a Cummings on a 2003 and up Yukon but would I get better gas mileage if so how much more don't know anything about Diesel engines but LOVE the power !!
I'm planning something similar, but swapping the '75 Chevy crew cab body onto a '92 Dodge cummins frame. Figure the engineering that went into the dodge chassis will be better than making it fit into the Chevy frame. Just my thoughts and plans.
I wrap tow strap around the motor put it in my teeth. and left it in all by myself. it only cost me $5,000 for back and neck adjustments from my chiropractor.:):)
what's total cost to do a ford ranger swap including exhaust? how long does it take for the swap? can truck be dropped off at the shop and picked up when done?
Where would one begin to look for a donor Cummins to replace a 2010 6.4? I just put $4,000 worth of work in to my truck hoping that it would fix my regens every hundred km's and within 150kms of a new DPF, it did a regen on me again. Not the regular "drive to clean filter" followed by "cleaning exhaust filter" for the duration but instead just flashed "cleaning exhaust filter for a moment" but started using fuel like a pig and it was confirmed by the superheated exhaust when I parked it. Also discovered that 4 and 8 have slightly low compression. Not sure what to expect or plan, but I don't have any money in to the engine itself yet. It was suggested that I have the PCM flashed to see if it stops unnecessary regens but I'm starting to look at worst case scenarios and backup plans. A Cummins seems to be the better of the expensive routes...
That being said, can a pre-08 engine go in to a newer truck and meet the emissions standard? Not sure if the e-test is based on engine year or truck model year.
Truck model but it varies by weight. Under 3800 kilos is a visual (believe it or not) in Ontario, If its over, you can go for a heavy duty test (which is $145) but then it can be done as heavy duty. Putting a diesel in something that used to be gas, has to pass the odb.
Hi I have a 02 golf stream Sun voyager RV and I want to put a 6.7 Cummins out of my 17 ram 3500 in it but I want wondering if it better if I put a 12v in instead
Do you think it possible to do a 12 valve Cummins swap in a 55 panel truck. Assume I would need the whole drive train and can the axels be made to fit the 55 frame?
So that 10g is for labor and fabricating and the small swap essentials. Every thing like big parts, engine all that is additional either customer provided or you source it I'm assuming for cost plus little on top?
Hey their DEBOSS really enjoy watching your videos! I have a 2000 chevy c/k 3500 dually 4x4 manual trans with the 454 big block and was wondering if it's possible to do a diesel swap in it? And witch diesel motor would you recommend? Thank you
I would really like to know if a 6.2l diesel is worth it. I really want to because it's affordable and one of the easier things to swap in to a square body. I just don't know if it is worth doing. I know they are gutless and have average torque. Also is NA or turbo better for the 6.2. or start with an NA and make it turbo.
Could you possibly discuss the common rail isb rear gear train 4bts that are now easily available. Swapping it to front gear train to be able to be swapped. Any other information about them ecu programming etc to swap! You explain things in a way I can understand and I would and a lot of other would really appreciate it!
I have not question about my capability to do so my only question, is a 2005 1500 with a 4.7L original gasser 2WD worth the effort to swap or should I save this type of swap for my 2004 5.7L 4x4 for later on when that becomes an option and do something else with the 2005? Another reason i ask is the more i look at the two trucks the more i think that the 4x4 is going to cause WAY more issues with a Cummins swap than on the 4.7L 2WD idea. I was originally wanting to do a 5.7L conversion from the 4.7L so i never have the issues I've run into with those twice now but, talking to people and looking at the difference between the two under the hood is nearly as much work almost from just looking at it. Or am i wrong and the 5.7L hemi conversion a better idea? Thanks in advance.
What do you think of a Isuzu diesel swap for 2015 Nissan frontier King cab. I've been thinking about doing that. Like a small Isuzu diesel engine out of a small Isuzu box truck with the transmission as well
Is it possible to put one in a military humvee... I don't know how reliable the diesel engine in the humvee is... I just know that the Cummings engine is reliable.

DEBOSS GARAGE how much to swap a cummins into a jeep
Like he says probably about 10k
Should I do a R2.8 cummins or a 4bta 3.9 cummins? A 4bta is cheaper but doesnt have as much power.
I swapped my underwear this morning for a clean pair. It took a lot of hard work but I did it all myself and it cost less than $10k.
I doubt it was worth it. Maybe if you did it yourself.

a local guy here charges 15 grand to put a 12v/24v in place of a 6.0l psd, and 17.5+ for a CR 24v into a 6.0l/6.4l with a list of what parts he used on certian areas, not all, but he usally trys to use all the ford stuff, and very little cummins
Had a few 99 24v, and I got a 08 mega cab 6.7 Cummins and blew the 68 towing so got a nv5600 out of a 01 cab and chassis truck, bigger input shaft and I swapped that. I also got a 2003 2500 4 door short bed but it's a hemi and gets 6 mpg sith premium. I'm thinking of swapping that with a 12v and nv4500 or nv5600
74 f250 i need to put a cummins in it since i only get like 7 mpg with the 460 it has!
is putting a 6BT 12 valve engine into a mercedes s350 w140 worth it?
The 8.1 in the 03 is getting some major miles on it, close to 200k miles, not kilos. Been thinking about doing the swap because the 8.1 doesn't have much after market support for goodies. I would like to keep the Allison, but not sure about mounting it to the cummins, if it fits or someone makes an adapter for it, it's a bitch'n trany.
Lily Smith those 8.1's work well in boats.
Lily Smith : The GM gas 8.1L is/was a terrible fuel pig. A Cummins turbo diesel 5.9L or 6.7L would be a huge improvement, and worthwhile swap so long as the truck is still decent. Keeping the Allison is not that difficult, you'll just have to get a machine shop fabricate an adapter plate for the bell housing. Seems like there may also be something available from the medium-duty truck market, but I don't know for sure.
Lily Smith they make stroker kits for the 8.1
This Cummins swap looks like it would be cool in my ‘91 C4 Corvette.
Would love to swap a 2LUZ turbo diesel from the Cruze into a Suzuki SX4 AWD hatch .
I've got a 80 series landcrusier it has a 4bt cummins
Pics? If you are on twitter, tweet them #Cummins @debossgarage

Jonesy's Auto Club in Oregon has shown that a 6BT is not much different in size from the 6.0L that comes in the 80s Series. Their conversions are awesome. Look up Predator Land Cruiser.
@deboss garage I would love to see a video where you review the Cummins r2.8
Looks like its going to happen in the next couple months
@@DEBOSSGARAGE can't wait.
You’re a big help thank you for the videos. 🤙🏼
I like the honor,honestly, and the work ethics. just subscribed. I am sure this will be a awsome channel due to the blue on your color and the grease on your hands. looking foward to your videos thanks
Lol, I wanna buy a Titan XD for the low with some minor issues, fix it and swap a 6.7 Cummins or 5.9 Cummins into it and do custom Wide Body kit.
Gotta make a blueprint for 5.9 or 6.7 cummins swap into any 6.4 powerstroke
Man this 7.3 bronco 2 swap will be tough
I wanna swap a 1973 Ford F-350 dually it’s got the 390fe in it right now but the ultimate goal is duramax swap it, although I’m considering a Cummins for the easier injector repairs and head gaskets
I seriously want you to do the 6bt swap in my CamperVan at some point..I also want to do a 4x4 conversation I’m hoping I can get both done for $15K. I’m selling my Harley-Davison and Land Rover to Fiance it.
glad i subscribed and following, you are a the best informative and experienced. Keep up the good work. Cheers
Hey wondering if I just got burnt… bought a 99 56block cummins nonrunning. I got the thing running but has a nasty knock. Looking for cracks yet to see any. Paid $1,000+ for the 12vcummins.
Can you put a diesel engine in a hot rod like a 32 ford or 28 dodge. That sort of set up as I have been hoping this to be an original idea to kick around. I would like your professional opinion on something like that as you are well versed in the swap business, and all it entails. Thanks for sharing your channel with the world. Hope to hear from you soon.
How tricky do you think a conversion for a 65 fleetwood would be? 😅
Humvee Cummings conversion hopefully that next
1:39 or if you have a second vehicle or not
I doing my jeep tj conversion got the 4bt for I just need the adapter play for the transmission I making the motor mounts is going to be f#/\€ awesome
I did mine with an adapter from dieseladapters.com. it was super simple for the install. I did the swap in my 2002 TJ. all I can say is use threadlocker on everything and spend plenty of time mocking up the final placement of the engine.
I met a guy one day that was driver I tracker or a sidekick can't remember, he had a 4 cylinder diesel engine in it. He told me it came out of a tugboat
I have a plasma cutter and a welder I can make my own brackets lol , I would love to put a 4bt in my 2012 Tacoma 6 spd
I got a 1994 ford f350 someone 12v cummins swapped and it's been a absolute nightmare. I currently can't get the altinator to charge. New altinator new battery just put in a transpo regulator still not charging. Wiring is a hack job on this truck. I don't know what wire to look for on the ford to tell the altinator to charge. I ran new battery cable to the altinator as well as a new ground I am at a loss
hey recently picked up a 94 sierra 5.7 350. fuckin thing chugs way more than she should i know there not great on gas to begin with but this thing went through pretty near a whole tank in under 100 km anything i should give a go over to try and diagnose the problem, first thing i was guna do is swap out all the plugs and go over the wiring. Fairly mechanically inclined but not traditionally trained Brand new to trucks intermediate experience with small engines (sleds) and some experience with field repairs on heavy equipment.
Came acros your channel and seen engine swap on Tahoe just blew my mind never imagined this was possible I would love to put a Cummings on a 2003 and up Yukon but would I get better gas mileage if so how much more don't know anything about Diesel engines but LOVE the power !!
I'm planning something similar, but swapping the '75 Chevy crew cab body onto a '92 Dodge cummins frame. Figure the engineering that went into the dodge chassis will be better than making it fit into the Chevy frame. Just my thoughts and plans.
Body swapping a 98 gmc onto a 2005 LLY chassis cost 10k done at home, no lift just chain hoists and rope
I wrap tow strap around the motor put it in my teeth. and left it in all by myself. it only cost me $5,000 for back and neck adjustments from my chiropractor.:):)
Hey I met you today in Carstairs we were on bikes cool 4door truck
Wow someone whom undestands
I got a e350 6.0l 2006 van can u talk a little about the differences between the f-series trucks and e-series van diesels
Dude I love your videos I learned a lot from your videos of dude great work
Going to be putting a 12 valve in a 1969 f250 4x4
You answered my questions.. Thank you
I would like to know what you would charge to put a 5.9 cummins in a 1995 1500 z71 with 3/4 front and back axles and the trans and transfer case
what's total cost to do a ford ranger swap including exhaust? how long does it take for the swap? can truck be dropped off at the shop and picked up when done?
Where would one begin to look for a donor Cummins to replace a 2010 6.4? I just put $4,000 worth of work in to my truck hoping that it would fix my regens every hundred km's and within 150kms of a new DPF, it did a regen on me again. Not the regular "drive to clean filter" followed by "cleaning exhaust filter" for the duration but instead just flashed "cleaning exhaust filter for a moment" but started using fuel like a pig and it was confirmed by the superheated exhaust when I parked it. Also discovered that 4 and 8 have slightly low compression. Not sure what to expect or plan, but I don't have any money in to the engine itself yet. It was suggested that I have the PCM flashed to see if it stops unnecessary regens but I'm starting to look at worst case scenarios and backup plans. A Cummins seems to be the better of the expensive routes...
Wreckers, Kijiji, or craigs list. I have a 94 12V P-pump that just rolled into my driveway that is for sale. 250 000 km on it.
That being said, can a pre-08 engine go in to a newer truck and meet the emissions standard? Not sure if the e-test is based on engine year or truck model year.
Truck model but it varies by weight. Under 3800 kilos is a visual (believe it or not) in Ontario, If its over, you can go for a heavy duty test (which is $145) but then it can be done as heavy duty. Putting a diesel in something that used to be gas, has to pass the odb.
Hi I have a 02 golf stream Sun voyager RV and I want to put a 6.7 Cummins out of my 17 ram 3500 in it but I want wondering if it better if I put a 12v in instead
Do you think it possible to do a 12 valve Cummins swap in a 55 panel truck. Assume I would need the whole drive train and can the axels be made to fit the 55 frame?
So that 10g is for labor and fabricating and the small swap essentials. Every thing like big parts, engine all that is additional either customer provided or you source it I'm assuming for cost plus little on top?
Always enjoy the content bud. Time to put one of the baby diesel engines in a caddy. 😊👍
Hey Deboss-
Just found a very nice rust free 98 Ram. Gasser. I see this is an old video, are you still doing Cummins swaps?
Thank you,
Nick.
Questions 1) 6.4 PSD transmission needs what type of bell housing, SAE____?
Hey their DEBOSS really enjoy watching your videos! I have a 2000 chevy c/k 3500 dually 4x4 manual trans with the 454 big block and was wondering if it's possible to do a diesel swap in it? And witch diesel motor would you recommend? Thank you
I have a 4bt in my 1968 C20 and would like to add Vintage Air. Where can I find a compressor mount bracket?
I would really like to know if a 6.2l diesel is worth it. I really want to because it's affordable and one of the easier things to swap in to a square body. I just don't know if it is worth doing. I know they are gutless and have average torque. Also is NA or turbo better for the 6.2. or start with an NA and make it turbo.
What about doing Cummins swap on a 2021 Denali
Could you possibly discuss the common rail isb rear gear train 4bts that are now easily available. Swapping it to front gear train to be able to be swapped. Any other information about them ecu programming etc to swap! You explain things in a way I can understand and I would and a lot of other would really appreciate it!
2:56 $10,000 is A LOT of gas lol
Its really worth it if your car is VERY gas thirsty,
Not now
I have not question about my capability to do so my only question, is a 2005 1500 with a 4.7L original gasser 2WD worth the effort to swap or should I save this type of swap for my 2004 5.7L 4x4 for later on when that becomes an option and do something else with the 2005? Another reason i ask is the more i look at the two trucks the more i think that the 4x4 is going to cause WAY more issues with a Cummins swap than on the 4.7L 2WD idea.
I was originally wanting to do a 5.7L conversion from the 4.7L so i never have the issues I've run into with those twice now but, talking to people and looking at the difference between the two under the hood is nearly as much work almost from just looking at it. Or am i wrong and the 5.7L hemi conversion a better idea? Thanks in advance.
I don't have Facebook... So, what would you put in a 2016 challenger AWD?
What about a 2wd to a 4wd swap on a 5.9 manual???
What do you think of a Isuzu diesel swap for 2015 Nissan frontier King cab. I've been thinking about doing that. Like a small Isuzu diesel engine out of a small Isuzu box truck with the transmission as well
I want to drop in that 2.8L Cummins engine and mate it with a ZF-8 transmission like Nissan teased us with for the Frontier Pro-4X.
Do you have to change the ownership from Gas to Diesel ?
Deboss garage can I put a Cummins in a Silverado 1500 gas truck ?
Is it possible to put one in a military humvee... I don't know how reliable the diesel engine in the humvee is... I just know that the Cummings engine is reliable.
