I have heard of people using the 4cyl cummins for jeeps and things but never in anything street oriented.

I take it back. Not even a mid-sized diesel. It's a BABY diesel.

I would be impressed if it was a straight 6 Cummins or a 7.3 Powerstroke. He's basically made it into all show, no go.

Heh, that little 4-cylinder set up properly is more than strong enough to tear the rest of that truck and the surrounding neighborhood to teensy-weensy pieces.

It's a cummins. Any cummins is all go. The owner is just a doorknob.

Lose the gay stacks and the paint job and I'd really like something like that. Of course, I'd have to try biodiesel and hydrogen...

I thought it was cool how he had a y-pipe for the stacks in the bed....not. Kinda cool truck just not executed properly.

Nice truck, too bad they didn't tune it and leave the pipes off. It would be a sweet ass sleeper.

No need for the smoke though, really.

If you want that kind of smoke you put a switch on the mass air sensor when you shut it off it just dumps fuel down the exhaust pipe. It sounds like a 12 valve though so it might not have one. But seriously if you ever took a cummins apart you wouldn't want one in your ranger. They weigh as much as another ranger sitting on the front of your truck. hell the wrist pin is like 1.75".

I helped a buddy put a 24v cummins in a truck last year. That thing was one som' bitch to get out and move around.

Smoke isn't as bad as some of you guys think, although his is a little much, most of the time a turned up motor like that will hardly puff at all when driven "Normally". I don't like people who smoke around a lot of traffic, it hurts the diesel community otherwise I could care less how much it smoked. An explorer owner on another forums claims 30+ MPG with his 4bt sploder. Plenty of fullsize dodge cummins with 600+ HP are capable of 20+ MPG highway... It would look better with a single stack too. After watching the video again, his truck doesn't smoke that much, notice it clears up just fine when it spools, the large clouds are caused by him intentionally lugging it.

Check out 4btswaps.com, many people use them for street oriented swaps especially oriented for mileage.

Hate to tell you but the big diesels will not get you better mpg than your Ranger. Well, those really aren't the big diesels, they are a mid-sized diesel. That black smoke is just loads of raw, unburnt, wasted fuel. Idiots like that give diesel enthusiasts a bad rep.

I have got a personal best of 27 mpg with my ranger when it was stock, and averaged around 18. My shop foreman has a 91' W250 ex cab long bed w/ 5 speed and averages 22mpg city and 29mpg highway driving. Even with all the smoke (soot) it's still putting out less toxic emissions than a properly running gasoline engine.


I've talked to the owner, and although he has turned his pump up considerably he had another issue causing most of the smoke you see. He had split an intake boot, causing a complete loss of boost and the huge amount of smoke you see. I'm planning the same swap on my truck for this winter/spring and am planning on getting 25+ mpg, while cranking out around 200HP and close to 500ftlbs.

Riddle me this then... How WITHOUT a y-pipe in the bed, do you turn a single pipe off of the turbo on the passenger side, into tow pipes one on each side???
