- Finally! Been building my truck for a year and shes doing great. She has a 24V Cummins, NV4500, NP241 drivetrain. As manual as you can get in this 2003 Silverado. Hope you enjoy the video. Please be sure to like, comment, and subscribe! Thanks for watching!
Could you imagine if Chevy had cummins from the factory, what a great truck they would be.... Allison and Cummins
A Cummins 5.9 and Allison MD-3060 would be amazing.
or with the transmission he has on it right now would be better
and ford with cat and eaton.
In Brazil, Chevy Silverado have to MWM 6 cilinders of factory(optional)
C1500 version
MWM Sprint Turbo 6.07T, 4.2 liter
Yall daydream about autos? Three pedals boys lmao
Absolutely love the Cummins C on Chevrolet.... awesome
Yes...well played!
My wet dreams are compromised of a similarly equipped machine.
They make a conversation to mate the two
😂
The whole truck shakes when it starts like a cummins should
On shut down too 😂 they are pretty violent engines 😂
Gotta love the sound of a cummins
Man that Cummins 5.9 looks good under the hood. Nice that the back 2 cylinders are still so accessible, in the 2nd gen dodges they are hid up under the cowl. I got the NV4500 in my 1999 with 3.55s and still start in 2nd unless im towing heavy.
I always start in second
Same with my dads second gen! It’s a nv5600 but it has a 4 10 rear end! It’s fun to drive!
How many clutches do you burn? I always start in 1st and my clutch lasts forever. Guys that are afraid of that first gear end out getting an automatic. Clutches are too expensive.
Fuck yeah man! I just bought a running Cummins 5.9 with trans, came out of a 95 Ford f700 and I want to do a build almost just like this, this is Fuxking SWEET!!
Beautiful truck man she's mint
I’m a Ford guy but I’d kill for this truck
I want to do this to my 03 chevy. I have a 12 valve and nv4500 already, I just can't hang my truck up to do it
Great example of a swap
That is soo cool man 👍🏽
What did you do for engine mounts? I’m in the process of a similar project.
Hey did the rear bumper bolt right on? I have a 2006 2500HD that I was wondering if the bumper from a 2014 will bolt on. So your video just had me wondering if you bolted it right on or if you had to fabricate mounts to make it fit.
That's what I wanna build for a camping overland rig
That is the Silverado that I want. Sounds great.
You should call deboss garage he put a Cummins in his Tahoe and Silverado he's out of Canada he's got a shop and a TH-cam channel give me a holler he'd love to see that truck
I second this, lately he has been featuring a lot of his viewers cars on his channel.
100hp injectors on a stock turbo, it has to be hot and smokey. But awesome truck, looks and sounds great!
only smokes off boost. Once the turbo comes on...its clean. I keep the fuel down when towing.
While i have not done it on my 99 Cummins, I have heard of many people using 100HP sticks with a factory Turbo and tow just fine. Just have to have an EGT gauge and be careful with the throttle.
I just pull the edge power down and it's perfect. If I push hard it will get nasty but it's all up to how much go-pedal I use.
Great job with the truck.
What a great build I love a nice out of the box build concept but also as practical as it gets!
Where can I find the Screamin Semen motor mounts? I want to 12v swap my Chevy but I can’t find motor mounts.
Dude I wish I could locate the company but I have searched and never found them again. They would be hard to replicate. Really motor mounts are the least of your worries🤙🏼
Thats a awesome build! Also the most reliable vehicle ever.
10 speed swap it!!
Drives kinda like the granny gear on an sm465. That would be a great setup for rock crawling.
Good thing that you put the Cummins in their to replace the 6.0 VORTEC, no need to remove the DIRTYMAX if it came equipped with it but you should of swapped the axle for the ones that both Dodge and GM put on their HD trucks (AAM 11.5 14 bolt).
i have a suburban 6.5 a 95model and i change a shitt automatic transmission to a NV4500 the same like yours! great vedeo i enjoyed driving a manual trans cheers from norway
How do you like your 6.5? I've been considering one of those. Greetings from America.
@@ranchurdhimster4955 6.5 is an excellent daily commuter diesel. The Cummins is meant to pull but the 6.5 is more drivable
Im going to build one of these
Fucking sickkkkk bro. I love it. Chevy with a cummins and allison from the factory would make a sickk truck
Hey i have the same thing a 6.0 with a bad transmission. I want to do exactly what you did with that one but a 12 valve
this makes me so happy I've been wanting to do this to my truck for so long
im so glad someone did it now thats my choice of engine i was wanting to do an 6.0 swap on my silverado no no mo
Dude, this is literally my truck except ford haha. I have an 01 f350 crew cab 4x4 with a 12v and ford auto behind it. I’m pulling it out and going with a 24v and a nv4500 aswell. Did you have to wire in your tuner or did you retain the harness and keep your ob2 port? My 24v from the donor truck is a 98.5, dont know if it makes a difference. Thanks
I’m looking at a 92 F350 12valve. What didn’t you like about yours? I’m also looking at a built up 24 valve 2006 Dodge 2500.
I have finally found a Cummins in that era Silverado! I’ve got an ‘09 school bus with a 6.7 Cummins / Allison in it and an ‘01 2500HD Silverado that was a Duramax/Allison truck. I’d love to swap it in!
My 03 dodge Ram has a set of 373s and she will peg the speedo easy. I think Chevy runs 373s in their trucks too.
Did you just shove the camera under the headrest😂
Awesome
Thank you. Plan to do a comparison video my daughters LS GMT400 soon🤙🏼
Had to modify the motor mounts?
Man any way you could give me some advice on the dimensions I’m gunna need to cut for the nv4500 and 4x4 shift ?
Were did you get your engine mount
Hey bud is there anyway I could get a hold of you? I’m about to 12 valve swap my 03 Silverado 2500hd. That’d be awesome sweet truck you got!
Send me an email to vdubspeed@yahoo.ca Not .com. Thanks.
I'm curious. Didn't GM already have the NV4500 stock for that year? My 97 2500 has the NV4500.
Cool Dude McGirk yeah for sure. I knew the bell housing was different for GM and Dodge but I didn't know there was any difference in the transmission it's self. Thanks for the info I'm gonna look more into it.
A deleted Duramax is every bit as reliable and stout as a Cummins. I get why Ford guys get rid of the 6.0 and 6.4 Powerstrokes for Cummins power but a. deleted Duramax with a properly built Allison is a hell of a towing machine.
which air filter is that? also where did you get the filter cover? thanks
Hey man I doubt if you'll see this comment but, how hard was it to drop the cummins in there? I want to do this to my 2002 chevy 2500
I’ve done A LOT of motorswaps . Psychically it wasn’t hard. But goin from a gas to diesel, Chevy to Cummins, auto to manual, etc made for a lot of work
Damn respect to u I’ve own a 3500 dodge 03 Cummins with a 6 speed and I’m also a truck driver please don’t rake the truck out of gear while coasting to a stop and don’t rev the engine while releasing the clutch the truck has plenty of torque jusr things I tell everyone that I’ve learn from my dad I’ve owned my Cummins for 12 years no issues ever only water pumps best motor ever made
Yup. Coasting in neutral, or worse with the clutch depressed, makes me cringe as well. I'm a truck driver trainer and I see this too often. This is why automatics are the norm now. Nobody knows how to properly drive a stick these days
Did you do your swap ?
Can you use the factory radiator with this swap?
I would change that gearing
tell me about it!
I heard you say South GA, what part? I'm in Douglas. Would like to inquire more about this swap if/when you have time, shoot me a message, awesome truck sir!
All the motor mounts and bellhousing line up fine? Its basically just a bolt in swap replacement for the LS that was in it?
Why can’t you just get a bigger monitor and put it where the Chevrolet gauges would be?
Do you have anyway I could get in contact with you to get more info on this build. I’d like to do this build one day
That would never fly here in California. Smog referee would have a stroke.
Who’s man is this? Where’s the rev match on those downshifts...
3:04 man i have that same danger close delivery patch lol, sick swap
Do you have a build thread somewhere?
Sorry friend. Didn’t do one for this build.
Man I’d love to buy this truck. If you ever go to sell it let me know
what kind of highway speed can you get with that rear gear ratio? seems like it would be geared way short for highway use
I might have missed it but what are you using as a cooling fan?
NOTHING. I'll install one for the AC but it works just fine without it. On the interstate it stays at 197. Towing it gets to about 210. And that's summer time weather. In the winter...it won't even heat up on the way to work fully which is 15 min drive.
No cooling fan until I do the AC...which is soon🤙🏼
@@thehoughcompound Did you ever get the AC done?
Nice truck looks All others are doing wat Dodge is doing on diesel
The issue or what I would think to be an issue is taking a gaser and dropping in the cummins would be the RPM to speed issue. The gas would run 2K and 65 MPH. The cummins would be in the same RPM range running the same MPH, 2k or more at freeway sppeds. That would be were the 373 gearing would be needed.
What engine adapter did you use to bolt to the nv4500 ? What year is your nv4500?
Dodge came with an NV4500, why would you need an adapter?
hey, I'm wondering if I could get a hold of you about this, I'm doing an 03 24v swap, and I've got some questions, I'm also on Facebook if that's easier.
Screamin seeman off road website isn’t working for me and I was just about to buy their motor mounts. I can’t find them anywhere else
Yeah. The guy is still around on the forums but I doubt finding them will get any easier sadly.
A Cummins powered Chevy?
Great Job Jason. I am currently putting in a 4bt with the NV4500. Having a issue rite now though, where did you get the transmission plate to adapt to the Cummins. I know this is an everyday deal, but I can not find one to fit. My last one is from Advance Adapters and I have to return it. Where did you get yours? Thanks.
ik it been 4 years but having same issues rn did you ever figure it out???
I'm trying to put in a communist and a 2001 Chevy 2500 HD where can I buy motor mounts been trying to find them the comings is AO3
Look up screaming seeman Cummins swaps. He’s the only guy I found that made them. And they you still have to buy gen 3 dodge engine mounts. His website explains it🤙🏼
My name is Jason to
That is badass. Do you still have this?
Man I love my 6.0 NV4500. I wanna switch to a 12BT. Was it hard to do?
wish my 6.0 had the nv4500 that would be a dream
Anyway I can contact you wanting to do a 12v swap into a cateye
interior like power windows work without having the bcm communicating with the pcm?
Absolutely.
You should always start in 1st gear. Or you'll be driving an automatic next time, after you burn your third clutch. I could hear it slipping.
who done the swap I've Got a 2006 ford with a 6.0 and I want to put 24v in out of a 1999 dodge and use the nv4500
Jhon Smith you could look at Diesel Conversion Specialists. They have a channel on TH-cam and they have a shop in Idaho.
How do you transfer the title from gas engine to diesel?
You don’t lol. If you live in an emissions county then you can’t do it, the 8.1 might have been exempt but the 6.0 definitely wasn’t.
Why do you keep putting it in neutral?? Leave it in gear.
please link me to what you have built! I 'd love to see it! Kthanksbye
@@thehoughcompound it's on my channel yo! Wasn't being a dick I'm actually confused why you would keep putting it in neutral. Kthanks😂
Very nice.
How was the firewall fitment? Anything have to be cut or massaged?
A SMALL amount need for the transmission but not the engine. 2500hd has a factory two inch body lift so that helps!!!
@@thehoughcompound So for me having the 2500 Non-Hd with the 6.0, swapping over I might have to put a body lift on it? Or atleast body mounts from an HD?
Sweet truck man
That is such a sick build man I love it ! How much did the whole swap run ya ? If you dont mind me asking
Not sure. I didn’t keep track. It’s still going! I’m finishing the ac next month so I don’t burn up again this summer. I value the truck around 15K though if that means anything🤙🏼
@@thehoughcompound great build man that's my dream truck is a Chevy with 24valve cp3 or p7100 and a solid axle swap in the front! Haha
💪💪💪✈✈✈✈✈✈✈
Did you use an oem Chevy clutch pedal? I assume you have to drill the hole in the firewall. About to take on a swap similar to this one.
I have the same body style but in a Suburban 2500. I used an oem chevy clutch pedal. Then I drilled the hole in the firewall and drilled out the pedal assembly where it meets the master. Then I machined a piece of aluminum to reinforce that area. It's a square. I did this because the plastic did not hold up by itself. I used the dodge hydraulics and it worked out perfect for the nv4500. Hope this helps. I may be selling my burb soon unfortunately. Done alot of work to it recently. My latest video shows it. Awesome vehicle though. It's had a cummins in it for 100,000 miles.
@@subcummins0134 hi sir. Would this set up work for my 01 express van 3500?
@@alb2571 I would think so. I'm sure someone has done it.
Thank you
Where did you get the one piece driveshaft?
From Texas Driveshaft!
Why did you not choose to go with a cp3 powered 24 5.9 ?
Because my 1999 donor was my daily driver, was already modded, and is a very reliable engine with a good fuel pump. 12v is simple and common rail is nice but vp44 trucks can be plenty reliable....it’s all about the person maintaining it.
@@thehoughcompoundcool I was just wondering lol just go ahead and P PUMP it lol
Absolutely NEVER!!!! I have tune on the fly capability, able to read and clear the ECU as required etc. p pump has its place...but for a daily...I’ll take the ability to turn the fuel up and down with the touch of a button😉
@@thehoughcompound I understand I've just had so much issues with my vp Cummins even with a fass and adding lubricant to my fuel and keeping an eye on the fuel pressure I just can't seem to keep the VP alive for more than a year I just like the reliability of a p pump but then again my truck is an absolute work horse.
trust me you will eat those words someday sooner than later lol , vp44's suck the big one. nice job on swap.
I like how he hammers it when he takes off from that stop sign
Jason hough what year of transfer case?
1979 Sir
Thank you so much! Did you have to use an adapter?
Actually I ended up using a North west fabrication gear. It worked okay but I still had to space the t case from the transmission 1/4 inch. Works great though. She’s done plenty of burn outs!
that's rad dude
It is rad dude🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 Thanks!
What is your top speed in 5th with those 4.10's ?
Jessie I have no idea. She cruises on the interstate 70-75 okay but it's starting to windout more than I like. I mean it could probably hit 90-100 but that damn 5.9 would not be happy.
Jason Hough Seems like it’d be happier with a 3.73 rear end out of a Duramax. Should get you about 300rpm less.
A Cummins in a Chevy... Hmm.
Love the truck! You are sitting so low in that seat it looks uncomfortable!
Nice build! No rad fan?
I eventually added one but only for the air conditioning. The engine has never needed it. I've towed pretty heavy in the summer and it's still fine.
yeah 4.10 gears are wack
