well dumb ass cummins out sourced the injection system to ih, not the whole engine. im a big powerstroke fan, got a 2000 6 speed m 7.3l diesel, but the cummins 5.9l just cant be beat, so shut the fuck up before you open your mouth and read a fucking book before you run your mouth, now whos the bitch

very nice engine swap.....i did that same engine swap but to a ford pick up 1968 first gen cummins......the best engine on the best ford vehicles.........CUMMINS POWER
Good Job: You should have insulated the exhaust manafold like they do on the Dodge Viper... It improves Turbo Performance and keeps exhaust heat under the hood 30 degrees lower. Less strain on the rubber under the hood.
I am impressed so props. The under hood looks good to me but some like to nit pick and I'm guessing its about some of the wire runs. Easy to make those look more stock if you wanted to. No complaints here though.. keep up the good work!
@videophoto2000 yeah dude im interested to know what exactly looks so "backyard" about this swap as well. I think it looks good and at the tune of 15,000 trouble free miles it sounds like it was well done. i plan on throwin a cummins in my f250 later on down the road when the time is right. Not sure if i will go with a 24v or a common rail though, i love the mileage and sound of the 24v but i hate the vp44. I love the modernness of the CR and its easy power potential, just not the mileage.
@Spoken4Lyfe How does this look like a backyard swap? You realize that he took a Ford body and transmission and put a "not" ford standard power train in? Not everything is going to fit the same way it did in the dodge. I see that all the parts are there, the engine is mounted level and everything works. Its not as easy to swap a different engine as you think.
@snots022 Well... 5 grand for the excursion... 2 grand for the engine with 85K miles... 3 grand for swap kit... Another grand for various parts. If you pay someone to do it it will cost tons for the labor. Yes kept the Ford tranny from the V-10. There is a custom plate to mate the engine to it which came with the swap kit.
@videophoto2000 I know there is more misc. cost in there, but under 15gs for a school bus that still gets 20mpg and is dead reliable isnt bad. Ive been looking at doing this to a f250, but with a 12 valve to keep the wiring simple. How bad was the wiring on the 24v? Nice swap!
and i beleive the "backyard" quality work refers to the untied wires around the brake master cylinder and firewall, and the cheapo filter. but nice truck! i like it!
@randytune88 Well... 5 grand for the excursion... 2 grand for the engine with 85K miles... 3 grand for swap kit... Another grand for various parts. If you pay someone to do it it will cost tons for the labor. This is not easy. The 12 valve is easier but not as good of an engine.
@videophoto2000 yeah it sounds really nice n 85k miles isnt bad on a cummins what so ever...if i ever try it ill probably rebuild a 24v or a 12v...then put it in.
@cesar68033 You should do the cummins swap... Don't waste your time with the 7.3... You will end up spending the same amount if not more on a 7.3 swap. The cummins is a better engine by far. I've had the 7.3 in an F-250 and I'll take the cummins over that any day!!!
@videophoto2000 a 7.3 powerstroke is a far better engine than a 24 valve cummins. i have had both a 7.3 will last far longer and make alot more power. the cummins is very over rated
@78f2504x4 abosolutly not my friend i have a 2500 cummins diesel that blows past your 250 turbo diesels all day and my truck now has 200000 miles on it and still runs strong
@78f2504x4 Where are the conversion kits to put PSDs into everything else? I didnt think so.A 7.3 isnt a pimple on the ass of any 5.9 cummins.The 7.3 is ok at best,and very problematic as it gets old,from the HPOP,injectors,and harness,oil pans rotting,and oil consumption.They dont start well in cold weather,have constant glow plug/controller issues,and are plagued with exhaust leaks before the turbo,esp in the northeast with salt on roads.Not a bad engine,but not in the same league as a Cummins
@JohnDiMartino i guess you for got about the dowel pin that works in loose in the crank case of the 12valve cummins......... oh yea and the 53 engine block that tends to crack.... so all you cummins asses that sit and bash power stroke need to remember that cummins still have problems
@traxxasmaxx33 i love cummins i have a 24 valve i used to have a 97 7.3 power stroke. I loved it about as much. The power stroke started better in the cold and a little more quicker on the quarter, but the cummins is more snappy on the start and runs smoother on the highway. I just get sick of people saying how bad a power stroke is but deny the cummins failures.
@godsmack8807 the Cummins "53" blocks tend to crack, and the timing cover locater pin vibrates out and can wedge itself into the timing gears and get shot out of the block. fords have EGR cooler problems, and head gasket failures. i'm a ford guy but i'll admit that no truck is perfect, but all trucks do have certain advantages and disadvantages over each other.
Just a little bit of Info for you cummins nuts, the best cummin motor is built by IH. You might think I'm full of crap but look it up. Cummins evidently also out sourced to IH (aka Navistar ). From what I have researched they are basically tractor motors, I think they are only in the 12 valves though. I just find it ironic that you guys bash the Powerstroke, but evidently the best Cummins blocks are made by the same company. Who has the last laugh now. Ha Ha HA
@godsmack8807 I know that this is a very old comment, but this makes sense as Ford Motor Company actually commissioned the original Cummins. The engine was completely designed and had some small production numbers when somebody from Ford decided that the customers would respond better to a V8 diesel better. Chrysler basically took over the engine and built their trucks specifically for the engine build for the Ford. All of these big companies are in cohoots. We're just not supposed to know.
@videophoto2000 to be honest its all preference and luck. I had problems with duramax's, gmc's, and dodges. and if u ask me i see alot of cummins 5 spds comming into the shop over powerstrokes and duramax, although I do like the cummins engine. Power wise might as well do a cummins for the 7.3 IDI but reliability i think you jsut got lucky, there all just about the same, each having there own problems. durmax seems to be seen the least in the shop.
@JTyler52 Exact opposite of what my dad's shop sees... Rebuilding duramax all the time. Cracked heads and bad gaskets on pwerstrokes. But different shops with different customers doing different things....
What did you have to change regarding the trans ? What makes it shit at a Diesel friendly rpm?
