Here in Brazil Cummins 4BTA is used in 3/4 trucks with a nice mileage and power. The last F250 made in Brazil had a 3.9 Cummins 16v electronic version. Great engine! Develops 203 hp/405 lb ft and great fuel economy! It can do 25 mpg and reach 100 mph easily.

My buddy put a 12valve ppump in his k1500, all stock suspension, been running it for a year and a half, hasn’t had any issues with suspension. I’m currently in the process of doing it myself aswell, knowing that it can be done🤘🏼

If it's a big block truck then probably fine. I'm not a GM expert but plenty of K2500s were lighter duty. They didn't have full float axles, some were even 6 lug, and IIRC there's two sizes of front axle used in K2500s. If it's a 454 then it's probably a true HD, but I can't be sure. With those you still have the torsion bar issues though that he speaks of, the 5.9 is heavy. As well as like in all modern pickups you have front unit bearing issues.

Well tbh idk wt kind of front end it has 😣 . It is a light duty truck .vin j i beleive .it deos have 8 lugs and 4×4 .(if it makes a difference) but yea torsion bars would be an issue. Ive already had front wheel bearing problems as well and with the heaver engine u probably rite! Ive used it to haul trailers and the fam to travel it just keeps going.

I swapped a 12v p-pump cummins w/ 47rh into a 99 2wd 1500 ram that originally came with the anemic 3.9v6. Had to swap out the front springs, everything bolted in, even used the stock v6 driveshaft. Been driving daily for past 2+ years with over 50k kms and occasionally haul 5-10k lbs with it, the only problem I've had were eating the small 1/2 ton wheel bearings (going with timken or skf bearings fixed that) average fuel economy is 27mpg (much easier on fuel than the v6) in fuel savings alone it paid for itself in a few months (not to mention the power). Truck is making 285hp/ 600+ft-lbs, the stock 9 1/4" rear handles it well. Frame is a little lighter on the 1/2 ton but in a 2wd application it is never really stressed. For those wondering cost of swap I bought a rusted out donor truck for $1200, swapped over everything I needed then sold all remaining parts, all in all I was out around $200 and 2 days of time doing the swap. I'll never own a gas truck again.

In a half ton or less application, if you have to have that Cummins emblem, there is of course the R2.8 but also the QSB 3.3 and QSB 4.5 that are not to be forgotten about.

I dropped a 5.9 12 V out of a 3/4 ton and in to a crew cab dually and I love it!!!

For anyone wondering, our ranger has a kubota v2203 with a small VW ko series turbo. It’s great for fuel economy, sounds great, and is unique. Would be better suited for a single cab 2wd Ranger

I am getting ready to swap a 6bt in my 1997 f350 crew cab longed dually. It was a gas 5.8 manual trans. It have almost every thing together in a pile. We are going to start it next weekend.

My friends usually do this swap on half ton dodge rams. We use gassers second gens single cab shortbeds 2wd and everything bolts right in, major thing is getting the drive shaft shortened and it’s quick trucks. We also just cut the frame on single cab short beds 3/4 tons with Cummins already in then which is easier since we’re only cutting 14 inches out of the frame and cut it as a Z and we haven’t had any issues. Fun little trucks, I hope you get to see one of them and make a video about them.

Thanks for this info answered a lot of questions I had especially about the frame I was thinking the frames on the half tons were a little bit weaker than a 3/4 ton frame but I wasn't for sure not a lot of people can give you an honest answer but I figure if you do enough of them you probably know a little bit more than I do and there's nothing wrong with that. Keep up the good work

im glad you made this video, i was gonna buy a rusted out 2nd gen cummins and swap into my 1/2 ton just becuase the body is in decent condition. swaping the panels is way more viable

Gm 6.2/6.5 has always been a nice engine to me. Very easy to swap, easy to work on, weakness are well known and easy to bulletproof, dirt cheap and plentiful, available in full mechanical form with minimal electronics, only slight weight penalty, able to increase performance.

2.7L 5 cyl sprinter diesel is a great swap into 1/2 ton pick up. Friend of mine has that set up in 2007 crew short bed f 150. yes, is 2wd and using full drive line and computer from wrecked sprinter.

I built my 1978 Bronco in 2009, it has 6" suspension lift and 3" body lift. I used a 1991 12V Cummins in it, purpose-built C6 auto by Dynamic Racing with billet converter, custom rear driveshaft from Tom Woods with 1350 joints, Forged rear 1350 yoke in a stock 9" Ford rear with stock 5 lug axles and stock 3.54 gears, stock Dana 44 front end, with an OEM trac-loc I built for it. I built a hybrid turbo and have the VE pump turned up as far as possible, so it's probably making at least 350 hp at the wheels. I have access to a certified truck scale on my property, so after I relocated the entire drivetrain back in the chassis by 4 inches, the weight bias front to rear of the Bronco is now actually better than it was with the stock V8 engine. I run 37x12.50R16.5 Military Humvee tires on it, too. The Cummins Bronco averages 22-25 mpg and if cruising on a back road at 40-50 mph, it's getting closer to 30 mpg. Truck weight is 5150 on the scale, stock it was 4600. After driving it for more than 50,000 miles over 10 years, the only issues I've had was in the early stages, I was twisting off driveshafts, due to the 6 inch suspension lift and sharp shaft angle, but lowering the transfer case 4" in the chassis got rid of that problem. For 10 years, I've been using it as my daily driver, offroad toy, occasional puller, rescue truck for pulling people out of deep snow and in the summer, I even drag race it on pavement, so I'm not exactly gentle with it. (As you can see from the video on my channel, it's not slow lol ) There actually is zero downside to building a truck like this.

Cool to see you on ROB speg live stream. Love the down home grass roots style. From idaho usa with love. Keep on keepin on

Looks like I get to be that guy. Yes I have a 96 12v in a 98 z71. Lots of good tips brought up about doing a swap like mine in this video though. It's not a simple drop in swap, and it is not a cheap swap. The more you know and do yourself, the cheaper you can make it.

If you were going to put a diesel in an Audi, you would want the late 90s VW TDI 1.9 or the later common rail 2.0 VW, or maybe the BRM 1.9 PD VW. Since Audi and VW are part of the same company, the transaxle and motor would stand a better chance of fitting and working with the wiring harness.

Mercedes Diesel OM606 (6 cyl 3.0L) and OM617 (5 cyl 3.0L) is a good fit for many smaller rigs. not much power with a stock pump but can be setup to produce near 500HP

Thanks for the idea. I have my Grandpa's old 94 C1500 exteded cab short bed with the 5-7. Engine doesn't turn anymore, frame and body has Michigan cancerous rust. Have suspension parts to do a 4/6 drop when I restore it. Now, I might put a 5-9 in it and bag the suspension instead. Was planning on brake upgrade anyways (Baer 6 piston calipers). Just swap out to a 14 bolt full float with a disc brake conversion too. It'd be a daily driver and not a tow rig.

I put my 12 valve and nv4500 into my 1981 Chevy C30. It's crazy how much vehicles have changed in the last few decades. Technically, it is rated as a 1 ton truck. But when compared to today's trucks, it looks like it is built like a half ton. I ended up using coil springs rated for the big block variant of my truck and that held the weight very nicely. I would only do one major thing different if I did the same swap again... I would definitely box the entire frame... Cummins are torque-y!

Outstanding.

Ive recently been looking into a 4x4 ranger with a 4bt as a project for my girl...main thing im having trouble finding,is what would be a good auto trans,she cant drive stick unfortunatly,or id do the 4 or 5 speed that most come with and do a divorced transfer....having trouble finding an adapter plate for any trans to a 4bt,plus curious about how flexplate and tourqe converter would work as well,basically a 4bt with an auto trans and 4x4 is what im shooting for,you seem to know what your talking about,any info would be much appreciated

C series are good transmissions for fords... can get them in 4x4 or 2wd. + you can buy bolt on overdrives to get a tad better mpg (or just make it work) I've not done a 4bt in a ranger before but there are kits for the 4bt to f150 swap with a c6 if i recall correctly so probably one for a c4, or you could go with a c6 and have the extra heavy duty

We put 5.9 Cummins in Land Rover Defenders, box section chassis and tough suspension helps :P

Hey! thanks for addressing this ! it can actually be dangerous. Your right unless you want to convert your half ton to a 3/4 or bigger its just not worth it. Now I love my quad cab Dakota might be smaller but with kids its so much easier! so what I'm doing is putting a 1 Ton chassis frame everything under the Dakota body.A Lot easier than trying to beef up the frame and Doing an S.A.S. and mixing part just easier when i bought the frame axles fuel tank ext for only 300 And saw able to sell the Dakota chassis for 700 to the junk yard i just made 400. the Cummins Is 24 Valve and Allison transmission out of a school buss with 132000 for 800 and just sold the trans for 1000 again i just made money on the swap. Just gotta look for deal and when it comes to engines. Make sure if you can either open it up or match paperwork such as maintenance records with the vehicle it came from! saving me Thousands and plus I'm Making Money on the swap!

I spent a lot of time under my old fullsize 70's era Jimmy, and under my late 90's Dodge Cummins...I can tell you that every single component of the suspension and driveline was about twice the size from the Dodge to the Jimmy...and even with that the Dodge destroys front steering components at twice the rate of the GM product.

I'm turning my old chevy trailblazer into a mud truck, whats the best cummins that would fit?

Hey deboss you have said in other videos in order for you to do a swap is minimum 10,000 does that still apply to 1/2 ton chevy if it has a 700 pound 6:2 Detroit in it with 4” lift?

Do you have any suggestions on how to get started on a 97 dodge Dakota diesel dually swap

I’m currently in the middle of swapping a C223T into my 1988 Nissan D21. Hoping to be finished in about a week. I’ll take a video and post a link when it’s finished.

Hi, im trying to do a Cummings swap on my 94 c3500 chevy silverado. Donor is a 98 c2500 dodge. Where can I get some info to smooth the process? Ty

I've got a 96 k1500 suburban with the 6.5 liter detroit. was considering a 5.9 swap after the thrash job you did on 6.5's Already have 10k invested in airbags, lift kit, 35's etc and shelled the motor when oil cooler line snagged on something. perfect body and they don't make diesel suvs anymore. none i'd buy anyway. looks like I'll keep shopping. new p400 6.5l model sounds good. anyone have any info on those?

Gen2 Dodges are the same in terms of frames at least in my findings. I've got a 96 3/4 ton and an 01 1/2 ton. I measured multiple key places front to rear on both before deciding to use the 1/2 ton frame for my swap since it was in better shape, Not a spot of rust, wheras the 96 had some surface rust all over the frame and the cab was rotted to the core. I swapped the 5.9 cummins out of the 96 into the 01, along with the springs, axles, trans, transfer case. the 01 originally had a 5.9 v8 gas motor. total cost so far is less than 4 grand for both trucks and assorted goodies I've added, and parts I've broken along the way. Now Ford and Chevy I'd bet you're right in the differences, I've also got an 01 F150 and it sits and rides far lower and spongier than the 1/2 ton dodge did even before swapping the diesel stuff over, suspension would never support a 6bt.

Adding one more thought. If I was going to swap a small engine in a half ton, I'd use a Mercedes OM617. I've got 2 cars with those engines, and they are the reason I bought trucks with 6bts. you look at the 6bt then look at the 617, they are alarmingly similar. both use mechanical inline IPs, and are very solid built little engines, they weigh around 600lbs. I'd put one in my f150 if it wasn't rusting out.

i also measured a 99 3500 frame next to my 2001 1500 frame,and they are indeed the same,no difference that could measure,maybe the earlier second gen trucks used smaller frames,but the newer stuff looks the same,

So I’m a big fan of Cummins I daily drive an 05 2500 with a common rail. But my question is, I have a 1968 ford F-100 that my brother used to drive and it means a lot to me, and I want to put my favorite engine on it. But I’m thinking that instead of a 5.9 I can try and put a 5.0 Cummins from the titan. But my truck is one a cab cab short bed and Nissan doesn’t make a one cab short bed so I could mount the body onto a frame. So I’m thinking on putting the entire suspension and engine plus transmission on the truck also so I can put some ford wheels on it. But the question is, is the 5.0 Cummins reliable? I don’t know much about it.

I swapped a Nissan sd25 in a 1952 Willy’s jeep great little engines and really good fuel mileage

I have a nice k3500 1997..will this be a good build for a 5.9

Luckily my 4.9 inline weighs close to 850~900lbs dressed up in my 93 f150. Same body as 3/4 and bigger. I'm thinking about swapping in the 6bt in it. Maybe a couple years.

This is exactly what I'm doing now. Basically dropped right into my 93 f150. Almost looks oem.

I'm intrigued by the Cummins R 2.8 crate motor. What are your thoughts for putting it in a half-ton Dodge? I'm looking for economy & occasional light towing. My truck currently has a V-6 gas motor & 5 speed.
