the engine is used in step vans like bread trucks and stuff like that. They produce around 125hp and 350 ft. lb torque. i have no clue what the swap involves. All i know is i want one in my jeep :rock on:

It involves a ton of work from what I have seen. It would also reguire stronger driveline parts to deal with the torque. It's a cummins 4bt engine.

Go here to learn more.

I think one would be sweet.

it would be awesome to have, but with the price of diesel fuel right now, it wouldn't be practical. the last i saw, it was at $3.55 compared to $3.05 for gasoline.

When I built the truck, diesel was about $.60 LESS per gallon than regular unleaded. Now not only does the fuel quality suck, is also sucks my wallet thin. $.50 cent more per gallon or not, I can get 36mpg unloaded, if I drive like a 100 yr old woman, If I beat it like always, I average 26-28. The worst mileage per tank to date was 20mpg fully loaded towing about 7k lbs. Thats also making about 200hp and 490ft lbs at the flywheel with my present mods. When I finish the Dana 60's, I'm sure the added weight and gear will bring the mileage down a bit, but I want the durability of the 60's for towing my trail rig on my gooseneck. This project was not cheap, and its not over, but boy is it fun!

Nice truck. :rock on: Welcome aboard.

So do you have a build up thread anywhere?

I would love to get the details about your build and read about the future mods you have planned. :cheers:

The closest thing to a build thread was after it was on the road. Most of the specifics can be seen at http://www.4btswaps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=585 If any one has any specific questions, let me know.

At $3.55 vs $3.05 that's @16-17% increase in fuel cost. His WORST case tank on regular driving was 26mpg, where the BEST case tank for most 4x4 4.0's is 20mpg. That's a 30% increase. He's way ahead on fuel cost. It won't exactly pay for the cost of the swap, but hey, he could be upside down on fuel and the cool factor alone pays for it. :bowdown:

nice !! I checked that forum dealing all about swapping the engine. I'm glad to see alot of discussions on Bio-Diesel. I'm doing a long report on Bio-Diesel and I have already found alot of info about blends. I

I do have a request for pictures on your diesel rig.... Think you could get pictures up of the intercooler and how it mounts???
