    Whats you gas mileage on your squarebody truck?

    I know it is a 48re. Not sure who made it and I have no idea what axles either. I wanted an auto because I already own a stick and didn't want two. If I turn up power the driveline will be a concern but it should hold up at stock levels. The dealership where I bought this truck actually let me...

    Whats you gas mileage on your squarebody truck?

    Lol yeah to much effort....this truck is nice and has plenty of power for that "house". When the burb couldn't take it though the overpasses of okc. This dodge drove it over the Rockies on i70. It's about the driveline both made by cummins not the truck. One has two more cylinders and computer...

    My Mean 350

    I know I shouldn't be bad. When I was young I built a Camaro that had trick flow aluminum heads, a mild cam and it had a 400 turbo. Now that was when gas was a buck a gallon. I'd suggest pulling that 700r4 forgetting it and running a 4l80e you can get a controller from optishift for about 600...

    My Mean 350

    I beg to differ a little bit. I think a stock 200r4 would love 7000 grand allllllll day with 4.56 gears maybe with a little antifreeze in the rear and tranny to help keep it cool!

    Whats you gas mileage on your squarebody truck?

    I would under the impression that a duramax swap might losing the heat box as well. It looks like a wide ass engine. I don't know that for a fact but it appears wider then the 6.5. But I would hate to replace the environmental system. The swap itself would probably run 10 grand and all the...

    Whats you gas mileage on your squarebody truck?

    It would average 20 in the city before I turned up the pump. It's sitting back home now so I haven't had a chance to calculate highway mileage. It also had the stock turbo on it at the time and the steel front end. I doubt it's changed much with the mods I made. Diesels usually don't unless you...

    Whats you gas mileage on your squarebody truck?

    Most diesel swaps that will actually tow will take some mods to the firewall and tranny tunnel to make work. I had to cut part of the firewall and raise the tranny hump to get my zf5 to fit. These trannies are tall or wide or both.

    My 2003 dodge 24 valve cummins gets 16 in town 20 on the highway. If you ever thought about a common rail.

    Whats you gas mileage on your squarebody truck?

    I troll around a little bit. I am 1500 miles from my burb right now so it's kinda hard to update or work on it. I've read people thinking they can get this, but without detuning it and driving 50-55 I can't see it.

    They don't. Just like my father in law that says he gets mid 20s in his 4.0 jeep. Whatever dude.

    Do compounds work pretty well? Not twins, but compounding a smaller one into large one.

    They say it will tow 11000 lbs. I looked at it when I decided to go used. That's more then any half ton I could find. It's pretty freaking good if it's true. I know a guy that has one and tows an 8000 lb boat. It does it pretty easily. My 03 cummins is suppose to be good for 18000 lb, but it's a...

    I like the idea of raising compression as you lay your foot into it. You have a fuel sipper with normal cruising and hear that fucker whistle when you want to spin it.

    I would assume a diesel can spin a turbo due to the amount of exhaust that comes out, but I am talking about a 4 cyl. Not an 8.

    Will one turbo be enough for 8-20 on a gasser. I've rebuilt a few sbc. Never with boost. My 4bt will hit a hair over 30 if I lay into it with an he341. I am not comparing. Just curious.

    Here are some specs on cummins/holset turbos that might help. Just an FYI the new 6.7 turbo has a variable exhaust housing. They call it a he351ve.

    An ls1 running twins depending on what two you pick could easily hit 60 psi. I'd rebuild it. Thast a lot of extra compression on a tired motor. How strong is the bottom end on these engines? I mean the turbo I mentioned was designed for an engine running 17:1. Realisitically I would thing you'd...

    LS Engine Conversion Info

    What programs have you used to do this. I mean all turbos have a different map curve. Are there programs that allow you to change the fueling per air flow or is it just guessing? Cummins turbo maps are not easy to come by anyway. I was just wondering how it worked or if anyone had a good...

    My questions if you were to stick a turbo off a cummins or any diesel for that fact. I picked a diesel engine because it's inexpensive to pick them up used and I know them. Does anyone know what would need to be done to the puter for fuel mapping. Are they pretty easy to add fuel. How would you...

    An hy35 from a cummins would be good for about 35 psi. You could get a good used one off eBay for a couple hundred. A rebuild kit is about 50 bucks if you find one that needs it and the instructions are online. Just mark your pinwheel so you dont have to have it balanced. They spin fast and one...
