I Swapped a Brand NEW CUMMINS Diesel Into My Old Toyota FJ40: Here's Why!

[@laytonb7]

Diesel performance and Toyota 4x4’s are the way it should be … 9 out 10 living warlords would agree!! I look forward to long term testing a combo like this in the near future…

[@maxcactus7]

The R2.8 engine and repower program is one of the best programs ever offered to gear heads, do-it-yourselfers and off roaders. Fantastic engine and great support from Cummins with their online knowledgebase (transmission mounting plates, engine mounting brackets, etc).

An overdrive trans makes a world of difference in any old vehicle, lets you reach HWY speeds without the engine screaming. Fuel injection & electronic ignition will also "improve" things a ton. Those are my top 3 picks to "improve" an old ride. I still have a carb, points & a 3 speed 😆

I have an 82 BJ60 I'm trying to get back on the road. Everything basically works except it's tired and needing a general overhaul. I'm trying to take out as much electrics as possible.

[@shitloveaduck]

My 67 C10 is running a crate GM fuel injected (Ram Air) 350, I have a 700R4 in it, but have a 6 (6L80) speed automatic waiting to go in. I am waiting on the electronics/wiring harness still. It’s new territory for me a bit, so I am enlisting the help of a buddy that is a Toyota Technician. He drives a 2021 F150 5.0 SuperCab with a Pro Power Onboard as his camper. He hauls a lightweight truck camper in it and loves it, especially the generator aspect. He had my 2014 Tundra that was a horrible truck for me and a bit of a PIA for him as well. He refused to buy a full size Tundra again!!! Hahaha. Me too!! (Not really, I have driven the new Tundra DoubleCab 4x4 3.5 L TT V6. Much nicer truck than the prior model!! I’m tempted, but have a 2022 F150 Tremor as my modern truck) The 67 C10 also has 4 wheel Wilwood disc brakes. It otherwise looks stock on 15 x 8 rally’s or 15 x 8 and 15 x 10s Cragar SS with TAs for tires…… I enjoy the truck immensely. It’s a very fun and nice thing running a more modern powertrain in the older vehicles. I’m not a big fan of the LS conversions mind you. To each their own. I don’t knock the LS conversions, as some friends have some very i press I’ve trucks with these motors providing some very reliable and good looking motivation!!

[@MegaGeorge1948]

I remember buying a 1975 FJ40 new off the lot for $5,600.00. The 258 cu in six had some torque due to the 4.11:1 differentials and the "Hi-Low" range transfer case. But it was no speed demon on the highway with a no overdrive four speed manual. Fuel mileage sucked and the engine valves eventually burned due to the high road speeds I ran at with unleaded gas. I added a 22 gallon transfer gas tank in the rear to increase the range. The main 18.5 gallon gas tank sat under the front passenger seat and was prone to internal rust due to being in front of the under dash cabin heater. With the extreme temperatures of hot and cold in the Winter, water would condense in the tank and it needed a lot of gas fuel deicer (Methanol "Drygas") to emulsify the water build up in the tank. I had to buy a case of it. No power steering or brakes. But I liked it in the snow.

Loving a rugged look Aussies love. Fascinating seeing a US version of BJ 40’s build that’s not ‘picture perfect’ or too big an engine for fuel mileage. (Aussie versions are more then 95% diesel - hence BJ not FJ). 2.8 Cummins looks mint! Too many kilometres travelled over here and 9.7 km per litre looks Aussie proof indeed. Hope I got the manual calculations right. Haha.

[@TomBTerrific]

Years ago (1990) I was down in Costa Rica with some friends. Two of them were from S America so language wasn’t a problem. We rented this lady and her Toyota Land Cruiser to drive 4 of us around for about a week. Her Toyota was like a suv or suburban style and there was room for everyone to sit. There was a lot of hills we were going up and down in and her Toyota cruised right along with out a hitch. It was also a diesel. I really liked the setup but you couldn’t buy it that way in the US. My son has a 70 FJ 55 perhaps he might like this idea.

The diesel is a cool option! Here in Texas Diesel and Regular Octane often swap places on price point through out the year. So it’s still a great option.

[@scarhart53]

Where I live diesel is well over a dollar higher per gallon.

[@erikkovacs3097]

On average you get 30% better fuel economy on diesel. So when diesel gets 30% higher than regular unleaded they cost about the same to drive. That rarely happens. Here in California it's at about 20%. If it gets to 30% that means some refinery had an accident.

[@ronitsingh85]

even though diesel is more expensive than gas, you are still far ahead in terms of saving $$, Diesel does more MPG, I would like to say 30% more so that alone offsets the cost of it plus you don't need to refuel as frequently, way more torque so it just moves at low revs, Love it.

[@kinggzz]

great looking beast. wouldn’t change the paint job at all.

[@LonelyRavenProductio]

That engine install is outstanding! Love this build!

[@joshduff8989]

Late to the party here, but that is a fantastic installation! Diesel is the way to go with vintage Toyota. I've been running a 4BD1T in my '77 FJ40 for about eight years and it is just turn-key reliable and very capable in the 0-65mph range. Nothing beats cruising around with the fam, top and doors off, windshield folded down. :)

I was thinking the same. That's why the average opts for the SB Chevy swap. I still have the original F motor in mine.

I'm doing this right now. I had the H55F transmission, and the Split case transfer case already. That saved me a bunch. With power steering, and adding AC just like this guy did, I'm going to have about $40k into the conversion. I think just engine part of it is $32k, but by the time you source a transmission, t-case, and get them either new or have them rebuilt, you're probably right back up to $40k.

[@danielboughton3624]

The original 6 had plenty of power for going up hills, etc. The issue was the 3 and 4 speed were not overdrive transmissions so modern highway speeds are at higher RPMs. The diesel engines have the same issue so either way you are talking an overdrive. I looked at the swap he did for another truck and it is expensive and underpowered compared to other gas options that deliver better performance at much lower cost while still getting decent MPG. One more thing about highway speeds. These are a handful with the short wheel base, leaf springs, and weight up high. Going fast down a highway is probably not the best idea in the world.

[@eagleeye388]

I would like to know who did the swap! Looks great and I am needing the same thing done

[@DavoShed]

You compare the 40 and the Cruiser in the beginning then say that the 40 would be the cheaper option. By the time all that work is done I’d be surprised if it didn’t cost way more to do up the 40. The old 2F engine has enough power but the fuel economy is like a screw driver in the fuel tank. I have toyed with the idea of doing a diesel swap in mine for years but could never justify the cost. I wish you had of mentioned how much the engine swap came to. Dave
