Hell Yeah Brother 🇺🇸🦅

In the middle of a Cummins swap currently - putting a 24 valve in an 08 F350 ( had an emergency medical procedure slow me down - as soon as I get the aftermarket leg I’ll get back on it)!

[@Tommy-Tucker]

Love how the truck turned out, I would drive it in heartbeat. Your attention to detail is outstanding. Do what makes you happy keep it up.

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Appreciate it!

[@bcbloc02]

No need being the cheapest. Do quality work for a fair price and you usually will always have more work than you can do. If people start saying what so and so will do it for I tell em take it to them. My labor is non negotiable. It costs what it costs and it takes what it takes to do the job.

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

That's how we roll!

[@TheNakedLumberjack]

The first mod any 6.2/6.5 needs.

[@billkeller6023]

Hell yeah, she sounds strong 👌💪

[@TheKlamminator]

That's actually pretty reasonable on the price of labor, i was thinking it would've been closer to like 20k on labor. I want to do this to my 90 squarebody suburban

[@mikebougher3731]

You could definitely do that in a weekend. Couple guys big baggy of booger sugar to keep them going. 😂👍

[@user-ho1lz4jg8t]

That's a badass old truck

[@jadebrecks]

Look forward to the updates. I also love that 12v startup where you know it is dead then it still continues to run!

[@localyokel1000]

Very nice swap, well done! As far as doing one in a weekend I call BS. We've got a mechanic lives nearby that everyone calls 8 ball, he damn sure could though. He once was working on a D6 that had slid off in a pond and he had the motor out of it half torn down and most of the wiring harness. This was after 5pm when I stopped by his shop to borrow some tools. I dropped them back off before work next morning and that Cat was being loaded onto a trailer!

[@BCnAK]

Awesome series/build!!!!

[@chandlerlofton6536]

The 12 valve is the coolest thing! I’m building one to drop in a C30 dually right now.

[@AmisCorolla]

Great work guys. 🥳

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Thank you 🙌

[@Sixohhh]

Swapped my super duty to One of them junks in a weekend. Started it on a Friday finished Sunday night drove it to work Monday. 6 months later swapped it back to a 6.0

[@user-ho1lz4jg8t]

Most shops won't even attempt to do any kind of custom work 👍

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

After doing it I understand why

[@user-ho1lz4jg8t]

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

@@user-ho1lz4jg8t I feel most people won't pay for my time. 2 people have fallen over when I told them the price

[@CountryMileGarage]

Looking good and always a awesome feeling when it just works lol. I have about 250-300 hours into my Chevy squarebody Cummins swap but that was all by myself no extra help from start to finish and daily driving it. Awesome job 🤙🤙🤙

[@jerm45coltg19]

Turned out great! Attention to detail pays off, well done!

[@73cjproject]

Has come out very nice! Good job on you taking the extra steps to reseal things and do it the right way. Looks primo!

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Thank you sir

[@cumminsnchevy]

I suppose the swap can be done in a weekend but tons of quality will be sacrificed, will leak oil and some certain things will probably need to be re-done after they have problems with the weekend job, quality work takes time and experience, well done Josh and Donald!!!

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Thank you sir!

[@joshuaquilliam2887]

Looks killer bro! Donald should be permagrin each time he walks in the garage. The old 12v sounded so damn smooth, sounded like a sewing machine. Great work as always.

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Thank you!

[@Rayraysrides]

Yeah buddy!

[@hyrumjessop5568]

Looking amazing awesome work I know you already know little more adjustment on the PPump adjustment arm, and that thing will start instantly

[@Ivanrparrigin]

Super clean, amazing work and you’re moving fast on it

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Appreciate it!

[@skstibi]

I'd probably drive it. I like the 12v but I am going a different route. 1994 Chevy K3500, common rail 6.7, and a NV4500. I have been collecting parts for a while. Figured out the combination to get everything to bolt up nice and clean. Once I get the 07 mega cab out of my shop and sold the swap will begin. Bolting it in is the easy part. Making everything nice and clean is going to take time. I give myself a month to get it in and wired to move in and out of the shop. Probably a year before it's complete due to my work schedule.

[@joshuaquilliam2887]

Great choice, I have always loved the 88-98 body style GM trucks. My favorite body style of them all, still miss my old 97 Z71, just not the gutless motor. But I hate to tell you that 6.7 will fold that half ton frame in half first full throttle pull.

[@rdodgehemi]

Anyone else think about zip ties an bias plys when he mentioned the John Deere Cosby sauce? He loves it also ha

[@ManBearPig1968]

Just a really cool build, thanks for sharing 👍💯

[@BRAINROTTDAVE]

Looks awesome!!!! I do this thing where I forget & leave my rag I wipe with acetone on the welding table & when I notice I'm always like woah that could have been bad. I see your whole jug on there and I think uh oh. I do mig sometimes so it matters more but be careful player.

[@rangerismine]

Nice! Gotta swap mine next 😂.

[@baconcreek609]

He's gonna love it!

[@stippett129]

Thank you for sharing love you helped save a square body!

Great video Josh. I keep saying it bro them fab skills on point brotha! What a difference the last 2 years man!! I’m about to tackle a compound set up on my 5th gen. I hope it comes out half as good as yours brother

Did you modify the front driveshaft?

[@charlespruitt4676]

Question, 450 HP will produce how much torque? Everyone always speaks in HP. Awesome build! 4bted and NV4500 a 1970 C10 4x4 20 years ago, probably 50 - 60 hours in that with no intercooler. Truck runs 80 MPH and sips fuel. Thank you

[@mikebougher3731]

I'd say between 800 and 1000 ft lbs or thereabout

[@charlespruitt4676]

@@mikebougher3731 Thank you

Probably 850-950
