The Fummins Build Takes it's First Trips! Will it Make it!? CR Cummins Swapped - 6.4 Ford Pt.23!

We've got the Fummins build (2005 Dodge 5.9 CR Cummins Engine into 2008 6.4 Ford F-350 chassis) Sorted and it's time to test it! We take a no trailer trip, then a trip with the open trailer, then we hook up to the gooseneck and pull it to see if it's ready to go the distance! Will it survive or will we be plagued with issues!?

For the tow/haul button, if the light on the dash sometimes comes on and sometimes doesn’t get a new shifter handle. The wires on the inside will come loose or rub bare spots in it and it will intermittently work

Is it possible to change the OD ratio in the trans? Those 4:10 gears would be needed for bottom end grunt. If he puts 3.73 or 3.90s he may lose that take off power.

[@Taylordrifts]

Yeah I know. If it was just the rear it wouldn't be such a big decision. yall think I built this whole truck solo and don't know that I have to change both? lol Give me a little more credit than that. lol But after figuring out the mph change with the current tires and then to the future tires the gearing will actually be perfect. I'm just an idiot and like to tow at 75-80.

Used to watch this channel on and off. I haven’t missed an episode of this build.. what a sweet truck.

[@St4ticBloodLust]

Hey Taylor! In regards to the overload springs touching... you might want to look into the Roadmaster Active Suspension kits. it replaces the overload spring on the truck, however the benefits are on incredible. I helped my friend put a kit on his 2014 F350 SWR and he pulls like huge camper with it. He said the difference was immediate when he started down the road. He noted that the sway reduction is true and that the truck squats a quarter of what it used to.

[@MrRPF66]

If your going to put the semi wheels on it leave the gear be until you know how it drives with them. Should pull the rpms down alot

Dude you should be so freakin proud of yourself for this build! It was such a huge project to take on by yourself and you did it so well. You literally built yourself the perfect tow rig! Ever since I started drifting, I got really into tow rigs as well, so I totally understand the genuine excitement you have for this thing lol.

Those 24.5's will kill some of that gear.

[@mckrackin5324]

@@Ribbityibzki Most 35s are 34 inches tall with the weight of the truck on them. About an inch taller than my tires. I have 3: 31 gears and my 6.7 runs 1600 RPM at 75 mph. Pulls 15K lbs like it's not there.

You need to fix tow haul. If the truck keeps going into overdrive you’re gonna fry your transmission

[@marshallmoneymaker8322]

That trans should be newer than 2006 and does not have the "Overdrive" Lock out. In 06 The "Tow/Haul" feature changed from just locking out OD to changing the shift points while towing. That's why he was not pushing it at low RPM's and where the Tow/Haul works. It will still shift into OD when all of the parameters road speed, RPM's ect, are met.

[@389rwhp]

Congratulations Taylor, I enjoyed every minute. Once you settle on the rims and tire setup you can get in the factory ECU and manually adjust mph up or down by 20 under MPH calibration. Once you're in there you should be able to delete the function of the check engine light permanently. If not, remove the bulb. If it's a hardwired LED built on the control board that can't be removed. Separate the cluster overlays on the gauge cluster and put some silicone in that cavity. No more annoying check engine light on your perfect build. Or listening to people like Marco with their sassy comments lol..

[@84suprakid1]

your rpm will go down when you put your big tires and wheels on and you'll appreciate the extra gear when you're pulling your enclosed truck is sick man 🤘😎

Some of the codes the Fords’ ecu has may be disabling the tow/haul mode

[@Race9988]

When towing with a diesel it's all dependent on exhaust gas temps. If your egt's are about 1300 the rest of your temps dont mean a thing. See what happens what you put the 35s on, if it still doesnt drop enough go with 3.73s. Also check the wire in the shifter at the column. They like to break there from shifting

[@RATTL3R186]

You've made my dream truck ! Good fluids etc and you should be good .Don't forget the water wetter for that big boy . Especially in florida. The radar detector gps is off .

To defend the 7.3L you had was used and abused. Mine with a new KC turbo some mild tow tuning is a beast towing my 11K 5th wheel. You should leave the gearing alone, the power band for a diesel is over the 2K RPM range when you get below that they chug a lot, which will drive the EGT's up.
