Anyone done a late model Chevy Cummins conversion?
 

I have a 05 Chevy 2500hd and I'm thinkin bout droppin a cummins in it. Anyone done a truck that new? It has a 8.1 that likes gas stations more than me:argh:

Member Rubberfish has one but I think its older than that

I am working on my 5th one, an 05 hd2500.

haha, I was just going to mention your truck. I can't believe you're on #5!! You contract your services out at all? :w2:

nice... I woulnt mind seein the pics and hearin whatsort of issues you incounter:pca1:

I do. I'd like to get a couple more conversions lined up before the end of the year. I will keep you guys posted on the progress on my truck.

I've been planing to do that and I just bought 12-valve Cummins and manual transmission. I want to put it into my 1/2 ton '02 Silverado and do alot of fabrication but my dad says just to find about the same year truck but in a 3/4 or 1 ton to make things a little easier.

I'd run the half ton. The power to weight ratio would make that truck fun to drive.

Googled chevy to cummins conversions and this thread popped up so I registered to get in on the fun. I too am interested in doing this. I have a 2002 Denali Quadrasteer that I would love to have an 03 or so model cummins dropped in it and was wondering what it would take money and work wise to make it happen.

We need more pics on that chevy with a cummins!!!

Here are a few.

very nice!

Screaminseema, I should just hire you to do the swap!!! :) Im sure you have many hours on that swap.

I'd be happy to do the swap for you. It is a very labor intensive swap. It averages about 100 hours.

Ok here's some ques I have.... #1 how do you keep the factory gauge cluster? Heater and a/c? :humm:

The PCM is reflashed to run just the AC and instrument cluster. The heater is unaffected by the conversion.

Who can do the reflash? We are thinking about putting a Common Rail in a 04 Chevy.

I can or you can use EFI Live.

whats a conversion from an 2003 8100 4x4 to a 5.9 24valve cost ballpark for you to do it i do not have a cummins motor yet

My shop rate is $65 per hour. That swap takes between 65-100 hours. I have a p-pumped 24valve in a 05 for sale that would be a drob in if you wanted to do the work yourself.

surely my zf6 trans would handle it i seen somewhere someone makes adapter plates i dont have a enough posts to pm u about the price

8.1
 

if you got any motors let me know philliprwebber@yahoo.com

The zf tranny will hold up justfine
 

I am currently puting a cummins in a 2002 chevy 3/4ton hd and orderd a EFI tool for a gm gas hoping it will let me disable some pcm things if anyone knows let me know i have put a 12v in a 2006 f-350 and had exelent luck had to build a harness but the guages all work good:argh:

I've been wanting to swap in a 24 valve with a NV4500 (4x4). Is there enough room for a clutch pedal under the dash, and for the shifter to come through the floor?

im doing a little research for my swap into a 2000 old body style but already wired with a newer LS1 style pcm. are you using electric fans or a clutch driven? i plan on running electric but want to wire them into the pcm to turn on and off automatically with temp. change like a factory set up would. have you tried this?
