I"ve already thought of the thread being Debunked. Just figured I'd let this continue for how, and I"ll seperate it later. We're not about to have have a Controller operated 4L80-E conversion thread be Titled, "HRPC Come In". I'm sure it'll end up a Sticky thread if we don't lose Nick on the conversion. So carry on, I've got ideas.
That Dodge V6 Diesel will be bad ass. They won't make those fast enough. Plan on paying sticker price for those cus with the demand, Diamler Chrysler and the Dealers won't be giving any incentives for at least the first 6 months and probably first year.
I fuggin knew that was coming.
Chrysler mostly owns Benz,Several years back Ford was`nt going to renew the contract wit Chrysler for the cummins {owned by Ford} so Chrysler went to Benz and told them they wanted a diesel engine that`d do dis and dat and another thingey or two,and so,Benz built them a engine,a dang fine one too,Chrysler come out with their plans and Ford sung a different tune and renewewd them contracts immediately.
That engine had a whole bunch of FT. LBS. of torque and excellent fuel mileage.Chrysler did put out a "FEW" of those engines but then went with an inline 5 cylinder that makes as good of horses as the Cummins and has more power and better fuel mileage too.
So,if Youre going todo a swap and room unner the hood is limited then start scrapping for one a them 5 cyl. Benzeseses.
Mail carrier has one in a huge van he bought brand new,He had switched from cummins and had no complaints with cummins,bnut now that He has had this Benz engine He aint going back.thats all for My rant for now.LOLOLOL
And Ford only used Cummins in Medium Duty trucks and Heavy Duty trucks, along with Cats.
Is that not what we have in the Pete and the Kenworth at the Tow Yard? I'm thinking so. They've been good. Well, I say that... The Pete had to have a camshaft at 250,000. and is close to 400,000 now. The Ken is well over 400,000 now and nothing been done to it as far as the motor.
There was a rumor that ford owned cummins but they were a minority stock holder with no control as stated by Jim. Cummins has bought those shares back and always has been there own company. Both engines would be awesome in a swap.
A 3.9 ISB 4 cylinder would be the **** in my burb, cant get them in the states the last time I checked though....and if my burb was a 73-74
Other way around...Daimler Benz owned Chrysler. Ford only had 15-20% stock in cummins, but never owned it. There was a benz diesel v 6 that was used in the european chrysler 300 touring wagon. something like 285 HP and 34 mpg.
A body decomposes faster than a C7 will get you off a freeway shoulder...with no load behind you. My experience was in a short wheelbase F750 conventional.
