Tow rig repower

[Travis]

Here's what I've been working on lately, while seriously neglecting keeping my jeep in top shape.

 

[BamaTJ]

That is awesome, where did you get the motor?

So is it wired and running now? What did you have to do for gauges and all that? I bet that was a beast of a swap...

 

[P]

Thats badass !!! x2 on what Matt said, what tranny is it running ?

 

[Travis]

I bought the motor off Craigslist. And its a '08 6.7, even though the valve cover is '03.

It is currently at a diesel shop in TN being wired. All the stock guages will still work. When you get in the truck, it will look like any other 05-up SD.

The truck originally had an automatic. I destroyed it last Oct, and swapped in a ZF6. I kept that trans with the new motor.

I guess it's kind of cool. I mean, it's no toyota tacoma but it's cool in its own way.

 

[wizzo]

did you remove the EGR stuff? got any more pics?

[BamaTJ]

Yeah I have heard a lot of bad **** about the EGR and Cats on those things, what did you do there? I love the Cummins Badges on that beast, I bet people are like WTF is up with that....

Really neat swap, PowerJoke's bring the suck

Yep he took all the EGR crap off the motor. Should be a sweet setup that still rides good and stays together. I will be in line to buy it when he sells it. ;D

I just traded up my 05' F350 with the 6.n0 for an 05' 3500 cummin's for the same reason. Should have put a cummins in the 350 but im not a baller like travis.

 

[Travis]

All the 6.7 intake, egr, emissions bs, turbo is gone. Replaced with 03 5.9 stuff.

I don't have any more pics as of yet.

 

[kid rok]

looks clean Travis. When we going to crack town chattanooga in that thing again? Did you ever put air ride in the rear seat ?

 

[GNorton]

One of my guys had to move my truck the other day. He asked me later that day what the hell was wrong with my truck. All I could say was.....its a 6.0, you are lucky it actually started.

 

[wizzo]

who's doing your wiring?

Best thing you could have done for that truck IMO. I was at a tractor pull the other weekend in TN and there was a pulling truck that was an F-350 with a 5.9 Cummins and and Allison Tranny. THat right there is a truck.

 

[blacksheep10]

cool, I was told the block was essentially the same, meaning the old common rail **** bolted up on it. I would think with that much more displacement and all custom tuning you would be able to light them up for miles

Guy came to the shop a couple of years ago. I looked at one of my coworkers and said "That powerstroke sure does sound funny." I went out to investigate. 5.9 Cummins. Dealership wouldn't warranty the problem he had so he said Fawk it Ima do a swap. Looked real clean and had a factory appearance. I love my Cummins! pepper.gif

The 6.7 is turning out to be really strong. My friends' 08 has no DPF or anything and he blew my doors off , but he has an edge, PPE and water alcohol, and I had PPE on 90 Hp, so not very fair but his is a heavy ass dually mega cab.

Thats because you're to scared to drive your truck
You have never even limped out the tranny!! WEAK

 

[Marty]

I have tried Its that 6 speed ally, more industructable than they are made out to be. When I am done with the crawler it might get a PPE IV, I can get it for 2300 bucks

You have to be careful swapping parts over cause only certain 5.9 years are compatible with the 6.7.

I bought some injectors from Bean a couple of years ago for my 7.3. Great guy to deal with. He still in Murfreesboro?
