I have been looking to swap a 12v or 4bt into my 2004 gas ram 2500 and can’t seem to find any videos or any real info on how to do the swap I don’t care about keeping stock gauges but I would like to keep my power windows and ac also does 10k include an engine and tranny or is it 10k+ the engine and tranny thanks for the good info you provide even if you don’t get back to me

[@jacobsmart9583]

Like he says probably about 10k

[@dillonh321]

Should I do a R2.8 cummins or a 4bta 3.9 cummins? A 4bta is cheaper but doesnt have as much power.

Can you do a series on doing a 12 valve cummins swap on a square body Chevy

[@maxwellmillette5759]

Yeah I second this, ive got a square body and ive tossed around the idea of that

There was a guy south of Iowa City is selling them at a decent price...not rebuilt that is. Not sure if he is anymore.

Just wrapping up my 5.9 gas to 12 valve swap, total cost of the swap was around $4,500, including little odds and ends, engine crane, plywood, and the hundreds of hand warmers because of a Pennsylvania December.

[@adamm4056]

5 years and 100k miles later it still runs and drives and has survived starting a family, from hauling firewood to 10k lbs of scrap. A few things here and there but nothing out of the ordinary and it wasn't hard at all. I was 18 in this comment^

[@bb_gunbandit4782]

Funny that I'm watching this considering I'm about to swap a John Deere 4045T into my 2005 F150. It's also getting a G56 manual and axles and suspension from an F350. Transmission and transfer case been freshly rebuilt, motor is brand new and has some extra parts to put some pep in her step, axles also rebuilt. Tearing the truck apart completely and rebuilding everything so every square inch of the truck will be in pristine condition.

[@717UT]

Thanks for sitting down and talking through the real world complications of this kind of project. I think almost anybody that's a car guy is hot and bothered over 4BT swaps. I sure am! But I know I'll never have the resources to accomplish it. But I love these videos and I love watching and learning. Who knows, maybe getting to see how it's done will help me learn down the road and do something cool too.

[@johnnysanchez9031]

I like how you got right down to it without beating around the bush.10k ballpark is not bad at all especially if its going on a truck you plan on keeping for a while. This is the first video of yours I watch, but you have definitely gotten my attention. I am definitely subbing to your channel.

[@Gene4666]

Nice to see that there are still techs out there who have integrity.

[@sean3223a]

Totally understandable, great video, as a farmer in Alberta I put a 4BT in our 1984 Stackcruiser which has been excellent and (almost) trouble free since, and a 6BT in our 70's International tractor that we use for running augers and misc stuff here, thanks in part to your great videos. Thank you, warmest regards to you and yours.

i did a cummims conversion.. i made all the factory dodge parts... hoses,intercooler,radiator,ect ect.. think they where still in the doner... its the only way to go.. get a complete doner and make it work. for instance.. getting the intercooler to fit in my radiator support took 2 days to measure... think about it... measure again. then cut.. worked perfectly.

[@lanedj801]

It can also affect your weight so expect suspension or brake changes if your vehicles motor weighs less than your new one. Last thing you want is to hit the brakes and the vehicle dips the wrong way.

[@federicodenovi8862]

around how many diesel conversions do you do a year? and $65 an hour is not a bad price, a shop I worked at charged $105 an hour

About 3 conversions a year but they aren't all diesel.

[@edlingja1]

Well a hot-rod or race builder could just make a suspension system pretty quick if you strip everything and mount it on solid front/rear clips. It would be lifted as a car or truck tho.

[@lilysmith7810]

The 8.1 in the 03 is getting some major miles on it, close to 200k miles, not kilos. Been thinking about doing the swap because the 8.1 doesn't have much after market support for goodies. I would like to keep the Allison, but not sure about mounting it to the cummins, if it fits or someone makes an adapter for it, it's a bitch'n trany.

[@ronaldreed7698]

Lily Smith those 8.1's work well in boats.

[@turbodiesel4709]

Lily Smith : The GM gas 8.1L is/was a terrible fuel pig. A Cummins turbo diesel 5.9L or 6.7L would be a huge improvement, and worthwhile swap so long as the truck is still decent. Keeping the Allison is not that difficult, you'll just have to get a machine shop fabricate an adapter plate for the bell housing. Seems like there may also be something available from the medium-duty truck market, but I don't know for sure.

Hey Mr.Deboss so I Have a 98 K1500 5.7 Vortec Extended Cab 3 door Silverado I recently Purchased it from a older Gentleman who had bought it brand new and had fallen ill and needed the money. The engine and tranny are all original. He had kept it in tip top shape with Transmission Fluid Flushes and Filter changes every 35-40k miles and Oil changes every 2500 Miles Wix and Kn filters were his go too he cleaned it up and sprayed off the snow in the wintertime so there isn’t a single spot of rust on the fenders as most fall victim too aswell as the vehicle does not burn a single drop of oil and has had all the gaskets replaced routinely. My question is I’m looking at doing a 6.5 or 6.2 Detroit Diesel swap or possibly buying a baby duramax crate engine and or just installing a 6.6 or possibly even a 5.9 or smaller cummins engine into it I just would like to get your thoughts on it!

[@killstrees]

Unfortunately, these Toyota swaps aren't as plug and play as you would think, especially if it has electronics. I found that the wiring harness for the diesel is for a right hand drive truck, so it has to be rebuilt. Also, the gauges don't transfer either, from what I have found. Look up dieseltoys on forums. You will find pretty much everything you will need from those guys. I haven't done the swap yet, so I all I know is what I have read. I could be wrong though. I do know that you would be better off with a half cut which will have everything you will need.

I have a 1970 bronco and got myself an old grumman step van with a 4BT in it and have been dreaming of doing the swap for some time. it runs great and has been a nice moving shed lol. watching your videos has sparked that fire again... keep on doing what your doing man. i may have some questions for you if i can get the ball rolling.

[@OnlyTheEd]

Your main areas (probably) will be the electrical connections and the driveshaft changes/modification. (Please note Johnson's Gee-rage and "Todd Booke's Bronco swap).......His has the 4BT and a 5 speed (m5odr2, I think).....Jimmy (Johnson's Gee-rage) has a 1982 F150 4BT with the m5odr2....he's been building it for perhaps 2 years. His cash outlay has topped $6K, because he's had some issues and other modifications/ additions. He has done most of his own build except the driveshaft modification, and had help rebuilding the m5odr2. Otherwise, Rich is your man.....The $$$ I speak of is US, of course....Canadian is a different exchange rate. Oh yeah.....also the engine mounts/pads/whatever are going to cause grief.......And oil pan location, maybe....

[@phtevenmolz5030]

I did mine with an adapter from dieseladapters.com. it was super simple for the install. I did the swap in my 2002 TJ. all I can say is use threadlocker on everything and spend plenty of time mocking up the final placement of the engine.

[@-ouv]

I have not question about my capability to do so my only question, is a 2005 1500 with a 4.7L original gasser 2WD worth the effort to swap or should I save this type of swap for my 2004 5.7L 4x4 for later on when that becomes an option and do something else with the 2005? Another reason i ask is the more i look at the two trucks the more i think that the 4x4 is going to cause WAY more issues with a Cummins swap than on the 4.7L 2WD idea. I was originally wanting to do a 5.7L conversion from the 4.7L so i never have the issues I've run into with those twice now but, talking to people and looking at the difference between the two under the hood is nearly as much work almost from just looking at it. Or am i wrong and the 5.7L hemi conversion a better idea? Thanks in advance.

Where would one begin to look for a donor Cummins to replace a 2010 6.4? I just put $4,000 worth of work in to my truck hoping that it would fix my regens every hundred km's and within 150kms of a new DPF, it did a regen on me again. Not the regular "drive to clean filter" followed by "cleaning exhaust filter" for the duration but instead just flashed "cleaning exhaust filter for a moment" but started using fuel like a pig and it was confirmed by the superheated exhaust when I parked it. Also discovered that 4 and 8 have slightly low compression. Not sure what to expect or plan, but I don't have any money in to the engine itself yet. It was suggested that I have the PCM flashed to see if it stops unnecessary regens but I'm starting to look at worst case scenarios and backup plans. A Cummins seems to be the better of the expensive routes...

Wreckers, Kijiji, or craigs list. I have a 94 12V P-pump that just rolled into my driveway that is for sale. 250 000 km on it.

[@christufts5286]

That being said, can a pre-08 engine go in to a newer truck and meet the emissions standard? Not sure if the e-test is based on engine year or truck model year.

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Truck model but it varies by weight. Under 3800 kilos is a visual (believe it or not) in Ontario, If its over, you can go for a heavy duty test (which is $145) but then it can be done as heavy duty. Putting a diesel in something that used to be gas, has to pass the odb.

I’m planning on dropping a Nissan TD27 2.7 diesel into a 1983 Dodge Ram 50 (mini truck) could you give me a few pointers, the engine should mate up pretty well, I’m just concerned about how to wire it all up.

Ok im swapping the chassis of my 97 ram 5.9cummins and it was a salt truck lots of rott and I was just wondering if there is anything I could do to help with this project and I never did this before but I'm going through it and I don't know why I am doing it with no time to do it and I am doing it right now but I am not in a good place right now because of the legal reasons why I need to know how fast I can get my truck back to work and I was just wondering if there is anything you can think of about this project

[@onyxfire9]

Would swapping a 4bt 3.9 in a 2004 Jeep Wrangler put to much weight on the front end? Also would I need to put a heavy duty coil spring and shock?

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

A heavier coil and shock should do it. I havn't done any jeeps yet but there are tons of others who have. Join 4bt swaps on facebook and 4btswaps.com and there are a pile of forums about the swap. tweet us some pics when you start the project!

[@phtevenmolz5030]

Grant Thiel you need about 3" of lift at a minimum, but my standard rate springs from Rubicon Express were just fine. the lift allows the taller 4bt to not contact the axle and still allow the hood to close.

Mine got an automatic transmission 4r70w do i need to change my transmission to manual

[@Blske9758]

How good would a 4bt and mpg? Thanks

[@theboostedboogieman95]

[@hunterXhamster]

2:56 $10,000 is A LOT of gas lol

[@imadizzapointment8354]

Its really worth it if your car is VERY gas thirsty,
