Cummins powered F350

 

i think I'm in love haha

 

After jonboggs posted the links to 6.9 comparisons to the 6.2 and 1st gen. Cummins, I've been less and less impressed with Cummins, and even more impressed with the 6.9 as I learn more and more about the IDI engine and the correct ways to drive it. If you select your gears and maintain your RPM's, these stinking IDI's are HARD to beat!

Funny how the 6.9 creates max torque at a lower RPM than the Cummins. And I had always thought an inline 6 design was best for lower RPM torque. HAHA, our IDI's win again! Sure, the Cummins has more torque, but it does come in 200 RPMs later.

Sorry to crush all you Cummins-lovers, but I prefer to see a built IDI under the hood of that rig. A 6.9 like Dave's!
I drove a buddy's '98ish Cummins/Automatic combo once. He warned me to be careful and not to mash it because the diesel is so torquey.( This was before I had gotten into my IDI's and the only other diesel I had driven was my Dad's '03 7.3 PSD.) Needless to say, the Cummins didn't impress me then and it was so disappointing that I even forgot about it until now.

 

oooooo that doesn't sound too bad for 14k really if all info is accurate.
more than id pay for a '90.but i sure wouldn't let it go for less either lol.
thats a nice powerful modified setup.
all id do,is change the front flip from the brick nose to the 9th gen truck and call her cool.
(no offense 8th gen fans.)

 

I've seen that truck on youtube

YouTube - Cummins powered F350

be an awesome truck if it wasn't a brick nose lol

 

I would of kept the 460....as long as it was carbureted. Fuel injected

Not my style, missing a big rusty round air cleaner bowl on top of the engine!

Still an awesome truck tho.


But not even close to be comperable to my beauty

 

Short bed on a long bed frame?

Could make a nice tool box to fill the gap.

 

Yup.

That's what I plan on doing.

 

IDIdieseljohn not gonna lie, thats a first... looks really sweet too

 

You should see the looks I get from people when I drive by. LOL some are too priceless

 

That's going to be cool man

only seen it done a few times on some utility trucks

could even find another truck bed to chop up and make something like this

FOR SALE93 F350 Crew Cab 4wd, 7.3, 5 speed... Somebody buy mine.
I love that truck. Don't even mind the front clip

Yeah, but what you don't see is that at 1400 RPM, even 1200, the 5.9 is still making more torque than the IDI.
If the Common Rail in that truck doesn't make an impression when you lean on it, I don't think anything will.

I'd be impressed if the rig had a built IDI.
Anybody, and I mean anybody, can make a newer electric engine go faster by plugging in chips and tuners and crap. I have some buddies who have gotten hand-me-down PSD's from their Dad's. They know NOTHING about trucks, except that a chip makes it faster. They hardly know how to operate a screwdriver, but they have been able to install chips and they run all over town now, gloating with high ego's.
Trucks on this forum impress me because people simply think the IDI's are boat anchors. A built IDI running with the newer modern powerhouses impresses me all the time.
Cummins and PSD's simply don't impress me anymore.

 

I do have to admit...something about putting a new Cummins in an old Ford like that just feels so wrong

 

so a 1000hp cummins aint impressive?
