6.7 Powerstroke to 6.7 Cummins swap?

35428 Views 29 Replies 13 Participants Last post by  dowmace
I will be buying a new truck within the next few weeks, and I'm torn. I really want a Cummins, but I am not a fan of Dodge interiors. I absolutely love 2011-13 King Ranch interiors though. What I would really like is a 2011-13 King Ranch with a Cummins swapped in. Is this out of the question with all of the electronics and lack of room under the hood of new trucks, or is it a possibility? I know it would probably be expensive. I don't see anything about swaps on anything past 2010 trucks on Destroked...

Any ideas/feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hope you have a real big check book or a high limit on your credit card to make that much power. Not impossible with a 6.0 but DAMN expensive. For sure start a build thread. I'd love to see it and the Outlaw edition truck is mean looking.

Yup. That's one reason I decided not to go with a new truck. Now I'll have more money for modifications. I'll start a build thread when I start the build next summer. For now, I'll probably do pillar gauges, cold air intake, and a 5" straight pipe. Here's a pic. Don't like the rims, so I'll probably swap them out for some factory 20s or a set of Fuel Throttle rims.

This went from buying a brand new truck and motor swapping it, to actually buying a 6 year old truck and tossing gauges and an intake on it? Humoring...
How highschool....

Instead of pillar gauges, do yourself a favor and get a monitoring device (Edge CS or CTS work great) and skip the CAI and get a custom tune from the big tuners (Vivian's Looney Tunes, Matt's SPD tunes, etc.).

Is this a joke? LOL He wants to swap a 6.7L Cummins in place of a 6.7L Powerstroke... And then settles on a 6.0L. I'm so confused. :hehe:

The 6.7L Cummins is joke compared to the 6.7L Powerstroke... And the 6.0L has a very similar reputation.

I was thinking the same thing. :hehe:

I was mostly just toying with the idea of the motor swap. I decided it would be too expensive to be worth it.

Why not just buy a 6.7L and keep it the way it is? Better interior, better motor, better everything...

It was just an idea. I wanted something unique. Also, a friend of mine has a 6.7L Powerstroke, and I don't really like it. Can't quite put my finger on why.

Odd... It's the strongest motor available currently.
I see you have a 6.0. How do you like it?
I love my 6.0... Pulls amazing and gets decent mileage... Plus I still have that oh so sweet Diesel engine crackle

That's the truth right there. I've driven 6.4's and 6.7's they don't have the oh so beautiful diesel rattle that puts me to sleep at night.
