Holy smokes! How did you get the opportunity to work on their van?

Anyone seeing his work here along with other creations----its no wonder he's asked to do other projects where his creativity and execution excel.

I kinda think Optima is lucky he's agreed to work with them.

Nailed it. <thumbup>

I stopped receiving notifications from this thread so I figured it was abandoned like the other cummins install attempt on another 4x4 van forum. But I started researching if a 05-07 coil spring f350 D60 is a better choice than my 88 kingpin plans, and low and behold your still at it! Sweet!

Here's a little vid of my cummins E350 beast towing 15k combined after my rebuild at 80 mph, 2300 rpm, 850 egt, 14 psi, 14 mpg. A few days later I got stuck in loose stuff with my open diff, so it really needs to be converted. Bad



Congrats on the progress!

Yep, I'm still at it! I'm not giving up on this project, it just gets pushed aside sometimes for other things. I'll be back at it in October when the SEMA van is done.

Great video! Quieter than I expected for that model of engine.

As an adjunct to this thread will you post details of the Optima SEMA work? Maybe a separate thread here or in another sub-forum?

I'd be highly interested seeing these masterful skills working in yet one more direction.

I was just going to keep adding to the SEMA van thread already going from the UJOINT build.

Ahhh I was unaware of that project and its thread---will be watching it now too!

This is a very impressive build. It gives me some good info on my 12v Cummins swap. Thanks for documenting everything.

Interesting news out of SEMA... Cummins is exploring the public interest in a crate motor program for repowering your ride with 4,6 or 8 cylinder diesels.

I imagine that if enough people complete the survey, we might see this program get some legs... Oh the possibilities!
