Pulling The Cab Off Of A Ford 6.4L Powerstroke Diesel To Make Way For A 12 Valve 5.9 Cummins

[@officialweldingfarmingarch2041]

That tow bar is ingenious! You might consider about a 50 HP utility tractor for doing that kind of thing, much better visibility, diff lock etc. Cool project!!!

Taylor Ray (KZbin) put at 24v common rail in a 6.4 a couple years ago, he goes into depth with everything. I believe he got engine and trans tunes (obviously you won’t need engine tunes with the 12v) from optimal welding (has a KZbin). Taylor also went to a low stall torque converter, but he used his truck mostly for towing. Maybe you’ll find some good info from these guys. Good luck.

[@raydeal5777]

Similar to the ones we used to use when when towing broke down low truck

[@pfootball6363]

That tow bar we always called a push pull on the farm. We always made them to attach to tractor draw bars. Just use a pipe of some sort and weld 2 flat plates on the top and bottom and drill them out

[@mm3rik]

just a suggestion , fit a hitch to the front of the truck

[@davidclemens1578]

in the Air Force we used to have the tow bars but I believe they were aluminum and had a retractable wheel in the middle cuz they were larger for the Jets. the tow vehicle was called a Tugger and they have 4-wheel steering so you could crab walk.

[@calholli]

Wow.. I'm pushing 320K miles on my 2002 7.3L.. 6spd manual, manual transfer case, manual locking hubs. This little tractor is unstoppable.. She's a leaky girl now, needs the oil heat exchange job.. and it has a small leak up top-- maybe some lines or maybe the pedestal.. Needs glow plugs, but still starts in the cold if I plug it in. Otherwise, she just keeps pulling. lol.. I got this truck at 170k miles for $7500, with no bed. I put a 9ft flatbed on it and built custom houses and metal buildings for over a decade-- pulling loaded down 5th wheel trailers and/ or heavy tool trailer virtually everyday.. It's the plain XL version, doesn't even have tilt wheel or cruise control-- has manual locks, manual windows, manual mirrors. ect.. But EVERYTHING STILL WORKS. I'd hate to have one of these new trucks that cost too much and then don't even last.

[@thebad300]

I want to know what you are doing to go thru 3 motors in less than 130,000 miles

Old man had a F-350 with a Cummins in it decades back. Thing was very solid but now you mention it I do recall the shift being very clunky and tractor like (no idea why though).

[@tjf1531]

Hitch set up is sweet. Put on a front hitch on the ram

[@tominsc9909]

You should make one end of that bar to pivot vertically but not horizontally. Also no need for a spring pin in the middle, just make it so that you back up until it bottoms out and then insert the pin.

[@nwafab5335]

I appreciate you, Sir

[@marklengal9990]

Steve. I have to do the same thing to a 04 gmc. Come on up for the weekend.

[@oldretireddude]

You might consider putting a ball hitch onto the front of your truck to make the maneuvering easier. I grew up farming and we always had a hitch on the front of trucks and tractors to make barn lot maneuvers easier.

[@StephenCox.]

I will eventually. Iv always loved that setup on the front of other trucks.

[@Ratkill9000]

Number of years ago I wanted to drop a 12 valve into a Super Duty, since back then 6.0 PowerStroke trucks could be had cheap with blown up engines. But with the 6 being electronic on the throttle and the 12 valve being mechanical for the throttle pedal, I wasn't sure how to make it work. My thought was having to go with an older Super Duty with a 5.4 or 6.8 with the mechanical throttle body and gas pedal that it would be an easier swap. So I'm really interested in how the 6.4L throttle pedal to the mechanical 12 valve would go.

[@kstricl]

I'd love to do a fummins swap too. If I had the money, I'd kind of like to do it to about a 73 Ford Crewcab. It seems like the body actually lasts on those up in the rust belt.

[@edwardball790]

I work on tractors and telehandlers and we have one of those push pull bars. Not sure who made it. Ive never seen one for ball hitches before though, ours just has drawbar ends.

Hey Stephen you should take a look at Taylor Ray he put a 12 or 24 valve in his Ford and He was discussing the issue he had with the torque converter he had to go to a certain torque converter because uses the Ford transmission with the Cummings you should check that out

That's the best improvement that could be done to that ford.What's the scrap metal price for ford iron?

Not much since they’re all rusted.

[@fdevies]

What would cause my 7.3 to lose power around 65-70mph? Doesn’t happen regularly, it is randomly. Rpm’s drop and nothing when I press the pedal. If I stomp on it enough it dumps black smoke. But still is bogged. If I let off when it Boggs and ease back into it, the power kicks back on and takes off.

[@213_tom]

Yes you can find blown up 6.4’s for cheap and fix it with what you got there. I agree it can’t be a serious problem if it sounds smooth turning over.

Is there a reason thats not possible? Or maybe not delete the videos but, private all of them in order to reupload them to this channel? Also is there a reason you couldnt have the same videos from your old channel on this channel or will that create an issue with KZbin? Thanks.

In my professional opinion, the best thing to do with that 6.4L PARTS engine is to post it for sale on Craigslist or Marketplace and let it become someone else's problem. I'm sure someone out there could really use a cheap parts engine. If for some odd reason you can't sell it whole, part out what you can from it, & then just scrap the rest. Wasting your time on it, in any other way, is only like burning your money.

How does a 12V Cummins play nice with the existing transmission in the first place? That blows my mind. For that matter, that 6.4L has DEF and a DPF. How does the Cummins play nice with those? Or are you gonna yank those emissions components and risk the wrath of the EPA?

[@markm0000]

According to the law when you repower a vehicle with 2 major driveline components it can be retitled and all that EPA nonsense goes right out the window.

[@markm0000]

The 12V Cummins is pre-emissions and the transmission is considered new because it will be controlled by a standalone TCM. EPA can go outside and touch grass.

[@markm0000]

If this truck is in an area without emissions checking it genuinely doesn’t matter what they think.

It sucks when you spend all that money on it truck. And you're cast into the fire. Poor quality and such it seems like do these producers of vehicles even test these things more than their little track outside for 10 mi. I want something that's going to last 10 20 years. I don't want to buy another vehicle. What I'm getting at is what happened to quality control. Where's the Ford one, the it's going to last a lifetime BS now it's like you spend $80,000 on a truck and within 50,000 miles you're going to have to spend another 20-30,000. Buy a used older vehicle. I miss the old days of points condenser alternator water pump with the stick shift because it the battery died you can still push start it.
