Cummins w/an Allison
Today i found me a Ford 6000 truck, a '93 model. It has a 5.9 cummins w/the Allison tranny. Im prob. gonna buy it, tho i dont know if im gonna use the truck, put the motor/tranny in something or sell the engine/tranny combo. Truck has 238k miles on it and ran when parked last year. Coolest thing is, on the id plate on the side of the motor, it says "Made for Ford by the Cummins engine company". Be pretty cool to put it in a F350 and tell someone you special ordered it lol.

Let me know what you do with the engine. I've been leaning towards putting a ve pumped cummins in my 93 F250 work truck.

Ill let ya know. Im really up in the air right now, it has a good Rawson Koenig service bed on it. Ill probably either find a rollback wrecker bed and put on it or just sell it. That would be an awesome combo in a truck though, Cummins AND a HD Allison. Guy who's selling it stopped using it because he travels w/his equipment a lot and it will only go 60mph, but thats w/low gears they put in the bigger trucks, should be fine w/regular pickup gears. Has anyone done a Cummins/Allison combo in a pickup? Also, are the Allisons they put in the bigger trucks heavier duty than the ones in the Dmaxs? Seems like it would be a pretty good combo for 1/4 mile, not too many upgrades necessary.

There's a few cummins/allison's out there in pickups both Dodge and Ford.
I wouldn't be interested in the allison myself, but if you do buy this and decide to split it up, shoot me a price. |
It should be a different series allison than the little baby allison they put in the Chebbies. I've seen and worked on about a zillion 5.9/8.3 w/allisons in garbage trucks I sued to build and most were the big brother allison and not the little guy they put in the pickups. The one issue would be size. I'm about certain you'd need a body lift just to fit it under there.
Would be nice though, wish I had some extra money laying around. George |
you sure it's a 5.9??
we own a f600 has a cummins but it's the next size up engine. like an n14? or somthing like that? has a H1E turbo on it stock. |

i dunno what it is? it's a 6 cylinder.
i was thinking the n-14 was the next size up? thought i saw some guy on eBay had a h1e that came from a n-14 thats why i saw that. don't know the cummins engine line up very well. |
N-14 is pretty big. The 8.3 would be the next size up in displacement. We see a fair amount of N-14's around here powering drilling rigs, although most have gone to series 60 detroits recently for some reason, I think they use less fuel.

it could be a 5.9 or 8.3 either way most likely it has a p-pump
