    my cnc milling machine

    I saw a guy make cool silverado emblem. The lettering was in a block format and instead of the star on top he had a cummins emblem on top. You could put a bowtie on it or get creative.

    4bt into a square body?

    I honestly don't think I would do it again due to the sheer cost and the noise these things make. I dropped a mint into it to do it right and sold it for half. If your gung ho I'll tell ya anything you would like to know.

    What trans/tcase in cummins swap??

    Either way you'll want a 3200 Bosch spring. It's the highest you can go without valve springs and makes a heck of a difference.

    What trans/tcase in cummins swap??

    I've done the swap and a current cummins owner. If you go with an auto and use the 47rh/re. Make sure it is properly built. A stock transmission is a trash making machine behind this engine. They make max torque at about 1900 rpms and redline stock at 2500. If you do any power mods and most...

    5.9l Cummins swap into a lucky Square Body

    There's a sensor that goes from the block to the that device on the lower part of the ve pump that advances the timing for starts this is wired into the fuel cutoff solenoid. Use the switched hot from the distributor to use for your fuel cut off. I wrote a right up on wiring sometime ago in the...

    HRPC come in.

    Sure ya can you're thinking of the isf 3.8/2.8. I can't find the first years of the CR 3.9, but they are available in fed ex trucks and probably others. They are available with an Allison.

    There was a rumor that ford owned cummins but they were a minority stock holder with no control as stated by Jim. Cummins has bought those shares back and always has been there own company. Both engines would be awesome in a swap.

    Ford trucks having problems filling up with fuel

    The newer mustangs do the same thing. My 05 did this before I sold it and it worse in cold weather, so you have to screw with it while you stand out there and freeze. It quit when the weather turned warm again. I never bothered with it before I sold it.

    They are on ebay used for 6-8 grand. There is a new one for 15. I've seen used 24 valves for 3500-5. 03 and up is what you would want if you went computerized cummins. I know your not interested, but there are reasons that is the most popular diesel swap. You know most common rails are very...

    I went ahead and looked those mbz engines up you are right about them being a v6, but they are really expensive. I could imagine trying to get swap pieces as well such as the transmission adapter and mounts. They look like they mount transverse are they all wheel drive? It appears to have a...

    Have you seen the price of a mbz diesel? That killed it for me. I've seen them 7 to 10 grand unless you know how to get one cheaper. Please share. Who owns a share of GM? I know they are using a mbz in the sprinter but in the article that's a v6 cummins. The mbz is an inline 5. I guess I'm confused.

    V configuration tend to be more powerful. Worse fuel mileage and less reliable in diesels. We will see. They are claiming 30 mpg potential out of a half ton. That would be sweet in an old chevy.

    As long as it doesn't have a stupid price tag on it. I also wish they would keep it an inline configuration.

    Read this article. http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2013/02/ram-1500-becomes-industry-first-half-ton-diesel-pickup.html Just food for thought. I agree that GM needs to catch up.

    Yeah that sucks. I'm floating the country right now and while I'm at prospecting a new state to live in. I'm in Cali with KS tags. I know I don't wanna move here permanently for several reasons. Smog is one of the smaller ones. What kind of truck do you want? Half ton silverado or a different...

    You can't drive and work on it. This is true. It has to be "built" once! It takes time and upfront cash for that.

    Anything over 20000 is closer to 500 a month unless you have a down payment. I bought a new in 06 for 22000 and just paid the taxes I was at 490 a month over 60 months. Hell that's over 30 grand paid throughout. You can get pretty creative with your drivetrain a lot cheaper then that. From a...

    Built a vehicle once right and keep it simple. You will be the warranty. I own a 7000 lbs 3/4 ton truck right now that floats at 21-22 on the highway with a diesel. It's 10 years old. New is over rated.

    My best suggestion for towing with overdrive is add a temp gauge and don't let it over heat. Don't let the tranny hunt. If it hunting its struggling.

    5 days of 12 hrs is my limit and that's hard core. I may have a 10 day stretch if this hospital I'm at goes out on strike. I'm assuming it will. It is killer but gooood money.
