I started a thread in the 6.4 sub forum tongue in cheek and it was removed!
I was also warned by an mod that I was a troll
for mocking the 6.0.
My advice is to tread lightly!
Search YouTube and you will find a great series on the 6.4 Cummins swap.

Really??? Not sure how many takers out there would be willing to shell out money for a hacked up vehicle that will likely have electrical Gremlins for the rest of the vehicle's service life.

It gets a little old, reading about these guys chiming in either suggesting or asking how, "to drop a Cummins in it" as if to suggest that Cummins is the best maker of the diesel engine. I'm fairly certain they have their fair share of issues, so pardon my ignorance or failure to understand the hype of "dropping a Cummins in it". To me, those who are insistent on having a Cummins, just buy a Dodge and be done with it.

2 Stroke Detroit! Nothing wrong with a Cummins swap, but, it is not quick, easy, or cheap to do it right, and making the 5R110 work right again is damn near voodoo.

And hence why I don't see the value or benefit to suggesting this to the OP. Vehicle engine swaps to anything other than what it came originally equipped with, should be considered projects, hot rods or hobbies, NOT daily drivers being put to daily use with the expectation of reliability.
