08 f-250 Cummins swap

[newman]

I know 2 uys with Cummins that needed a CP3 before 100K. My 6.4 friends still have stock HPFPs... just new rods and injectors

 

[Erikclaw]

All stock trucks will have failures. I don't think Fords are any worse than the others. You remember what you want some times.

I thought if a motor swap was done it had to be of the same year or newer put in the vehicle to be legally registered and inspected? Or is that just a few states that have that requirment? Thanks

Somebody already.fielded that question. Shortly after you asked it.the first time.

To clarify, in areas where emissions testing is done you may have to follow these guidelines. I have been out of the emissions testing area for three years but the people at the one I went to didnt.know much. My 7.3 got tested in 09 and the guy said they would only plug it in and read pcm info. I walked across the street to hazy revving.:doh: still passed it :shrug:

Next point:some of us live in rural america and the only person who looks under your hood is.................you! Its not an issue whatsoever. Just doing it is the only issue.


Last point: I love your avatar pic :drool:

all the CP3, HPFP, and injector failures are 90% due to contamination. Common Fail systems should be filtered to 2 microns, most factory fuel system only filter down to 10. Put a good set of filters on, keep an eye on supply and rail pressure,and you wont have a problem.

Some people are going to hate me for bumping this back up........

All the emissions stuff asside, can it be down?

Im thinking a Regular Cab F450 with a P Pumed 24v would be a pretty slick truck!!!!

All the reasearch Ive done, there isnt a whole lot of parts out there for a swap in an 08 and up Ford...... Destroked has some engine mounts and trans adaptors, but thats about the extent of any parts I can find. Wiring is nonexistant so far, and thats the biggest stumbling block so far........

 

[jdgleason]

Why would you want to?

I'd staple my dik to a wolverine before I'd replace a 6.4 with anything other than a nastier 6.4.

 

[HaysKSFirefighter]

Sub'd for knowledge.

Aside from the looney Die-Hard Cummins freaks, no one will do the swap. seeing as how you're suggesting an inferior engine to replace the 6.4, how about converting it to GM's 6.2L diesel, 6.9L IH IDI, or perhaps the rotary pumped cummins? Can it be done? sure, but what's the incentive? While you're busy pulling the 6.4 out of a truck you should think about maybe swapping in an old flathead V8, or fantasize about dropping your p pumped b series into a Bugatti Veryron. The p pumped 24 valve platform in the minds of many a redneck is the crown jewel of simplicity, power, smoke, and cool tractor noises. Even your kid brother could do a swap. While some of my suggestions are over the top, the line of logic is there. Save that engine to go in an old junker that will benefit from it.

If you have a CP3 failure on a 5.9 CR do you need to pull the turbos/cab to replace it?

Simplicity is nice on a 5.9.. any performance costs alot.. it's all in what you wanna do..

Would you spend 15 grand to save yourself 3 hrs worth of labor IF you had a high pressure fuel problem?

Im not bashing the 6.4 at all, Heck i think they are one of the best engines Ive ever had the pleasure of driving around in!

But I never said I would be pulling the 6.4 in favor of an ISB........

I love the 08+ Fords, but they can easily get VERY pricy for a nice one. But I have been seeing quite a lot of gassers with the cab/chassis configuration that I like for 1/3 of the price of one with a 6.4! Yes, i could probably put a 6.4 in there, but with the cost of the engine and swap, Im right back up to the price of a truck with a 6.4 in it already.

I'll never understand spending all the time/money swapping a Cummins into a Ford.

You could buy a dodge diesel truck for less than what most people spend on just a conversion

....and still have a chunk of chit lol


Swapping a CumminGs anything into a 6.4 equipped vehicle is about as smart as replacing a peppy LMM engine with your favorite mini-me/38r packing 7.3. Just don't see the thought process there being long on thought lol but hey, to each his own I suppose

 

[01PSD]

Saw where Beans was doing a swap today..

 

[6point0damn2004]

The only time i could see wanting to do a swap to a cummins would be for straight dedicated pulling or track duty. But really it seems like more and more everyday the 6.4 proves itself to be a contender

Smoke loving simple redneck checking in then

Thats a silly statement. I could have just bought a dodge, but guess what... NO. I may have spent a **** load of time along with others putting a cummins in a ford but its the kind of truck I want. Sure I coulda bought a new truck with the money but instead I built the truck I'd want. You might not understand it, but Im guessing thats why you most likely have a dodge. No offense intended.

I guess its just as silly as modifying our trucks. So am i stupid b/c i bought a 6.0 with low compression to do a CR Cummins swap??

Or just the guys doing a 6.4 to 5.9/6.7 swaps???

I have a Ford. I've had many Dodges. My 6.4 runs so much better with just a tune than any of the 15 dodges I've had, and I've had 12v, CR, stock, modded, singles, compounds, custom VNT, built autos, manual transmissions, single disk, dual disk clutches, etc. I've been there done that.

I can't imagine wanting to remove the 6.4 and put a Cummins in its place.

I've just seen it so many times... Guy builds a Fummins and either it's a cobbled together mess or he's forced to TRY to sell it for $45k because he's out of money.

So no, you're right. I don't understand it. I guess some people just enjoy setting money on fire. I've never been one of those people. No offense intended.

If you can do a nice, clean OEM quality swap without having twice as much money in the truck as it's worth? more power to you! I've yet to see it done
