How much is it to CUMMINS swap?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Today we do a breakdown of how much it should cost you to do your own Cummins swap. More specific to this truck but should be around what it would cost for most people unless you have a better body/ engine or completely different car/ truck... obviously. This body would be around $4,500 and the engine/ trans, with a tad bit more miles but almost nothing for a Cummins is around $4,000+.

REMEMBER, this is a rough/ the price of our build. Prices change all the time so just be sure to look out for the best deals close to you. Hope you find good priced stuff for your builds!
Cummins 12 valve cores are $2500 to $3000 just to rebuild, don't believe me do Craigslist National searches, makes me sick to my stomach I put it off the last 12 months, but on the flipside, new $70k diesel trucks motivates me on my 87' bricknose.

@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps I have a setup I bring with to start and run them when they are sitting on someones floor with oil pressure too, I leave it all together so it takes 5 min for me to check it out.
Body swaps are always something to keep in mind. Dropping a 65c10 body on a 2g I've got rn.
Owned many many ,67 to 79 Ford trucks , the steering boxes are not very good if you have the power assist cylinder good luck , front cab mounts rot out , but they are a tank.
surprising (a little) but it's honest. And that's what's best. Really gives the next person a solid point of reference. Nice work!

That transmission is very easy to wire the overdrive to a switch. That’s what I did to my suburban.
Love it! My vote is keep the wagon wheels, they’re timeless 😊

Time for a project!
I have a 76 custom cab in pretty good condition and a factory Cummins ( not out of a dodge) I want a forever solid simple Ranch truck one problem is the old ford is 2wd. Can it be modified to 4wd? Are you interested in the job? Also could make a KZread collab if the build
Hello could you get a video of the wiring for the highboy. I’m stuck and need help
Nice to know I wasn't too far off when I figured I'd need around $7k. I'm wanting to do a Cummins swap with a late 60's-70's ford f100.

Do you use the same transmission? The c6?
What trans you running?
If anyone in minnesota has a lift that I can use I got a 2003 Kodiak Wrecker I’m rebuilding a bit and I would love to swap the trans and put a 5.9 p pump in it instead of that POs dirtymax, this would be my first Cummins swap so I’m looking for help. Anyone have suggestions what shops would help me with this near Wisconsin Iowa or MN
