dodge suburban?

[Ozwynn]

there is a company in Minnesota that does that dodge conversion.

seems like a pretty monumental waste of money just to end up with something that was, for all intents and purposes, already built:

Yeah but that's ugly and has a PSD

beauty is in the eye of the beer holder....personally i think they are both eye-sores.

I have seen one excursion with a 7.3 around here and they actually use it which is surprising, regularly hauling around 5 people, all of their stuff, and a trailer.

'Scursions look kinda cool lifted, but are still pretty stupid. I worked with a guy that had one with the V10 and 35's and he drove it daily at 7 MPG.

 

[Wicked_Sludge]

hes doing pretty good then. i worked with a guy that had a v-10 excursion that got 8MPG stock.

What's with all the Cummins hype? Who'd wanna put that engine in a Ford?

I'd rather go CAT! (If I were going to do an engine swap) Of course I am a big fan of the PSD.

Holy crap. He got 8 MPG once, on the highway driving up to Snoqualmie. He traded in his 02 Mustang for that, so he could have "something to go boarding in."

Typically more reliable, better MPG, longer lasting, easier to work on, need I go on?

Maybe so, I don't know. But at the end of the day what have you got? A damned old Dodge.

Ummmmm......... no. Cummins is a separate company from Dodge.

 

[fordktpjoe]

Ummmmm......... no. Cummins is a separate company from Dodge.

No shit sherlock, and Navistar is a separate company from Ford.....your point?

 

[valleyvinyl84]

Wellllll.............. To quote you once again...............

Maybe so, I don't know. But at the end of the day what have you got? A damned old Dodge.

My point:
So, no shit sherlock, you won't have a Dodge. You will have a pretty reliable truck.

Well.... I hate to come in and stir the water, but............. Coming from a Cummins and ASE certified and diesel equipment certified TRS user, yours truley, HEUI injection is by far the most stupid idea ever constructed to be an injection system on a diesel.... Hydaulic Electronic Unit Injection operates by the use of a high pressure oil system to operate a slave cylinder that shoves the diesel fuel through the injector.. I have worked on fords and 'Navistar' diesels and I think Ford actually won when they had thier diesels in medium duty truck in the '80's and '90's.. They should have stuck with it... So.... Personally I own 2 Dodges with Cummins engines in them... My main daily driver is a '94 with 300K miles on it. I get 16 city/ 22 hwy MPG, the engine doesn't consume a drop of oil. The breather tube drips one drop of oil on the ground the size of a dime when it sits overnight. I have some very minor performance work done to it.. Last time it was dyno'd I made 365rwhp/ 785 rwtq, RELIABLY... The other is a '97 with 223k miles on the truck and 10k on the engine and 12k on the trans. It has 15:1 pistons, a cam, some more fuel, and a turbo. I daily drive that as well and it has 700 rwhp, no need to say I only get about 5-12 mpg, but that doesn't consume any oil either, and I drive it to the track and run 12's... The B series Cummins Turbo Diesel is by far the best engine ever to be put in a Light Duty Truck, Duramax/ Isuzu a close second, and im pretty sure I'd put the 6.2/ 6.5 chevy V-8 Diesel ahead of any HEUI powerstroke....

...and as for the Ramburban that is FUCHING AWESOME

REAL Fords have PowerStrokes. Real Dodges have Cummins, your point?
