no it's electronic got it done runs good but every once and a while if u try passing someone after a certain speed it puts the motor into limp mode and until it cools down or the computer resets (not sure what one) it acts like the turbo ain't working

Did you swap all the '98 jewelry and electronics to the '94? If not, that could be your issue.

Funny cause ford doesn't make a cummins, your misinformed ... Just so you know, ford owned shares several years ago, had to sell em... Now here is the surprise, cummins owns navistar. incase you didn't know that's the company that makes/made power strokes .... Cummins also owns Allison and a large chunk of gm.... Do your research

The No 1 Reason for a Cummins is it is just a much better Engine. But it would not be cheap.

There is a reason that you see so many people putting a Cummins into there ride and not some other engine.

Jester is right, but a running 12v can be had for 1200ish and companies make adapters for both 480le and 460le for about $80... Patc makes a good one, used theirs on an H1 cummins conversion

I know guys off topic I'll stop with this post before it morphs
