Welcome to Cummins Repower Garage. As a team of enthusiasts, we know that many questions come up during a build. With that in mind, we created this video series to take our customers through the R2.8 Turbo Diesel Installation Manual. Throughout the series, the Cummins Repower team highlights useful installation tips and tricks to answer some of the most common questions about installing the R2.8 Turbo Diesel crate engine.
In this ninth video, we cover topics related to the under the hood and cab side electrical system for the R2.8 Turbo Diesel.

Steve, send us a 2.8! We have 100k subs and can get you plenty of views with less production costs then the cost of a 2.8. We already installed Cummins in Silverado's Tahoe's, F350's 1985 D350, 1956 Studebaker, and are working on the craziest swap on the internet. Hit us up, we'd love to work together

*THAN the cost of the 2.8 ;)

Can you put one in my 2005 smart car cdi diesel lol

[@hectorernestomorenoroble223]

Very good. your information thank you.

[@phprofYT]

Good notes on the throttle wires.

[@fireappdriver]

Will this engine work in a 2016 ram 1500 that has the ecodiesel?

[@StormLaker]

So can you run two 12v batteries for extra accessories (lights, air compressor, etc)?

[@charliebardo6255]

When are they going to program it for cruise control functions ? It looks like there's already some extra wire taps for that sort of future upgrade ? It's drive by wire so it would be crazy to try to set up some kind of servo half ass system when all the other Cummins drive by wire systems have it programmed in and the momentary switches just communicate with the computer.

Is there provision for an engine block heater?

[@StormLaker]

I' m sure there are frost plug knock outs to place one. There are on other cummins engines.

[@jameshudson9479]

Is there any other autos this motor is swapped into?

[@PureCountryof91]

James hudson i imagine a turbo 400 would work? Or a c4/c6 with adapters..

[@fueledgaragetv1212]

Read the manual and watch the video and neither one tell the polarity of the wait to start? I hate guessing

[@PaigeTrucks]

Page 1-43 of manual. 12V+ to lights, Cummins harness leads are ground through ECM.
