It does good. Only 90K on the motor so it better of sounded good.

What are your thoughts of the weight of the cummings engine on an 80 frame? To my understanding, the weight of the Toyota diesel was 750 lbs and a cummings diesel is 1100 lbs.

I’ve got about 40K on my 80 Series with the 6BT. No issues if you choose the right front springs. Right = heaviest you can find. Other than that steering components will have to be maintained at a shorter interval.
