been messing with cars for a long time, recently have decided my jeep needs to go diesel, which means my mind needs to make the switch as well, so here i am.

 

Glad to have you aboard. Your in the right place for any questions you will have.

Are you gonna buy a diesel or put one in your jeep?

 

gonna put one in the jeep, once i learn enough to decide which would suit me best

 

What year is your jeep? Try www.4btswaps.com They have alot of really good info about the cummins if you go that way.

 

its a 75 cj5. from my reading so far, lots of folks been saying the cummins might be too heavy for off road use in non dry climates
thanks for the link

 

Its pretty heavy, about 700lbs. Nothing a big set of meats won't make up for. The advantage to them is thier almost bullet proof.

 

thats good to know, so far i have been looking at those and also the Mercedes-Benz OM617 5-Cylinder Diesel. still got lots to learn

 

Yap its amazing how much stuff there is. Only reason I know how much the cummins weighs is I have one sittin in storage. Have had to move it around a time or two.

 

haha, i know how that goes. couple months ago i finally got tired of paying for a storage shed, when i cleaned it out i had 6 spare motors i was keeping around for rainy days and the occasional thrown rod. ended up giving them to one of the local highschools.

 

My storage is free thank goodness, its an old 2 horse trailer sittin next to the house. I was originally gonna put it on my 87 wrangler but I sold it, so much for that idea.
