Re: Sweet Cummins
I don't want to do it cause everyone else is, my truck (far as I know) will be the only one in my area. Shoot, there aren't any crew cabs in my area anymore.
I want one cause they make crazy power with just simple stuff, pull the foundation of a house, and still get respectable fuel mileage. No other engine swap can do that. Duramax's are sweet, but totally electronic, something I want to get away from. All that stuff is nice till something goes wrong, then spending hundreds on trying to find and fix it.
Detroits might be good for mileage, but can't do much to get power out of them. Also, when was the last time you saw a Detroit 6.2/5 in anything other than a GM truck?? Cummins is used in alot of different equipment. Didn't do a great job, but we have a truck at work that has a Cummins, IIRC it's a 24v, 230 horse 7-speed, Freightshaker FL70, and that pulls doubles. Not very fast and it's screaming doing 65, but it pulls them. Like to see a Detroit do that....
