Lauren does get a little crazy when her chrome toy goes missing. Remember when it mysteriously disappeared when dubz was down? That was a crazy weekend.

 

The multifuel engines are pretty awesome though, being that you can pretty much **** in the tank and it'll run. However, there's a reason everybody and their grandma swap cummins motors into everything, so cummins ftw!

 

you, stay out of North Virginia!!

out of curiosity, what part of "the mother land" are you from? I have lots of family down that way...I'm sure the tree even gets tangled a bit bc of it lol. My grandpa is from Burnsville in Braxton county. He always tells me "West Virginia went to Ohio, & Ohio went to hell"....stupid coal mines.

Anyway, fixin on visiting Burnsville this spring. I'd love to wheel in WV sometime, trees + hills = how we roll.

 

eff teh cummins in the eh!!!! r-tards like cheat-hoe drove up the prices too much for them to be worth it to me. the dt's make similar hp with a metric shyte ton more torque in stock form, add to that, they are just as mod friendly as a 12v and just as easy to swap, oh, and way teh foock cheaper to score good runners. plus like i said they bolt right up to the M35A2 5 speed overdrive that is in the duce's.

 

X2 on the DT...you can get lots o hop up parts thx to the tractor pulling community, and Ford uses IH engines. I keeps it real! They call em cummins cuz theyre always cummin apart. teehee

 

Hey, I joined in on a conversation about deuces.
MY quote that YOU used specifically AGREED with YOU that they aren't great four wheeling rigs yet you tried to turn it around by only quoting PART of it to make me sound like an idiot. Then told me to go away and let you talk about off-road rigs.
YOU'RE out of line and trying to start a fight for some unknown reason. WTF!

You're coming out of nowhere, unprovoked trying to get a fight going appearantly?

If that's what you're into I guess we don't have the same interests. I'd rather get along. I sincerely hope I'm misreading you somehow but telling me to get off the forum when I'm talking about the same thing everyone else is would be kind of hard to misread.

 

Obviously I'd have to disagree with you on the Cummins part but a DT466, especially an older, simpler mechanical one would be awesome in one of these. If it bolts up to the origional trans. it's even BETTER!

I can definitely see a place for them in wheeling too, I'd love to see one sitting outside of a mud-hole with a big ol' PTO winch on it. There ain't much it couldn't pull out.

 

That's if it could get to the mud hole first.

I never once said anything about the mud, I go wheeling, trails, hills, logs, rocks, a bit of everything. If there is some mud ok. But I have seen first hand a bobbed 2 1/2 ton has no place on the trails, in the trees, or on the rocks.


When I get to my home computer, I'll download some vids for you to watch. Than we will see how cool you think they are.



Some one I know even has a video of me in a tug o war with one, where he wasn't movin me backwards that's for sure.

 

Well, while I respect your opinion as a fellow enthusiast, I must say being a former diesel mechanic (former thanks to the economy), and living in truck pulling country I can tell you first hand that the DT is both a tougher engine, thus capable of more power. If you're a cummins nut, I'm almost sure you've heard of "enterprise diesel performance" (or wtf ever Dave Mitchell calls that place). His shop is about 12 miles from me, so I've seen plenty of cummins making way more power than they were ever meant to. Aaaaaand I've seen hundreds scatter and fill their diapers.
I'm not neccessarily bashing your beloved oilburner, they're great little engines that have made quite a rep for themselves, rightfully so. I just don't buy into the hype that there's nothing better or that there isn't any competition for them. The "cummin apart" thing, kinda like me pokin at a chebbie guy for liking his "big 350", no harm meant.

Also, did you know when the mighty little 5.9 was on the drawing board, it was (in addition to other industrial applications) wanted by ford for their medium duty trucks as an economy diesel alternative to their other options? In addition to that, a few very early (very rare, but I have seen one) 5.9 blocks have a little oval cast in a couple places on the block!
Did you also know that Case (as in the guys who bought IH's farm equipment division) helped design the 5.9? And that during this process and in the early days of production, Cummins couldn't cast a block (maybe among other parts, I can't remember for sure) that small in house, so for a while that had to be outsourced til they retooled to be able to do it themselves. Now that I've jacked the thread, I'll leave with a question and an answer....would anyone like to guess who originally cast the 5.9 block? (it's not uncommon to find THEIR logo cast into the block behind the timing cover, it's pretty big and almost always painted over in a familiar blue of their own brand)...you guessed it, Navistar/IH

yay for the only other US company to make everything from farm equipment to pickem ups!!! LoL

 

Just read that. Very interesting!

 

Did I mention that I've seen a Ford effing chainsaw?! Circa 1960's. I wanted it so bad just to say I had it, but alas, couldn't afford it.

Yea, that info stirred some chit up at another forum I've visited.

 

I always heard bits and pieces of a ford/ih/cummins get together, but now i have a better understanding of what happened. you always used to hear dumbshytes spouting off that ford owned cummins or something, thanks for shedding some light on it.

 

Yeah, but cummins is teh beessttt
















Was just saying it probably be easier to do a cummins swap and I would think it has a better aftermarket, but I didn't realize the dt motor was used for pulling or whatever, so it may be similar. And like stated, even better if it bolts up to the original trans.

 

Also, Dave is just mad his wittle truck can't pull teh big bad deuce out when it gets stuck

 

p.s. FORDSAW FTMFW!!!!!
