2wd Cummins swaps?

Who's done em?

I might do a 94 12valve bolted up to my T400.

Links would be awesome.

Thanks again (:

Re: 2wd Cummins swaps?

Thanks 72.

That helps out a lil bit, what do you plan on using for accessories though?


Anyone else have anything to show for?

Accessories? Not sure what you mean.

Power Steering, AC, Alt

All that good stuff.


I just got done furnishing a school over the past 3 days. I don't think it's good if you can't stand without swaying slightly, I think that's a sign of muscle failure and/or dehydration. But definitely made some money to purchase the Cummins.

Re: 2wd Cummins swaps?

My build thread, don't count on the 400 holding that power... Even the bt4 used a uped 400.. The 475. Also the th400 adaptor is notorious for not holding power. Its a wave design that folds like a pretzel. Pluss overdrive and lockup would walk all over a 3spd..
Take a look at my build thread, ask questions if ya got any I'll do my best to answer em.

Re: 2wd Cummins swaps?

You would be better off using a A518 out of a 91-93 dodge d250. Its not lock up but its an overdrive tranny and is behind my turned up 92 cummins and has been a good tranny for what it is.

Re: 2wd Cummins swaps?

I planned on beefing up the 400 pretty good.

I've heard from a few people that if you build em right and treat em right they're fine.


The truck I'm lookin at is a 94 4wd with the auto and I think the tranny is shot.

Re: 2wd Cummins swaps?

I loooked for about 2 years before I found one for my truck. I got mine out of a '91 dodge with a bad tranny. Keep your eye open, they tend to show up when your not looking.
6772king do you have any pictures of how that intercooler ended up working in the truck? I was wanting to make a '06 intercooler fit but it was way to tall.

Re: 2wd Cummins swaps?

For an RH, no. The center has 12v ignition to it, and the outers need a ground signal to activate lock up and over drive. You can make a RE work in this manner but I don't recall the pin locations right now.

Re: 2wd Cummins swaps?

Hey Ryan,

What all does it take to make a 47 survive?

I hear a good converter and valve body and you're pretty much good to go if you aren't racing it.
