But for the true 4bt experts go to www.4btswaps.com theres guys on here who have put 4bt motors into all kinds of vehicles. But if you can source a cheap 4bt I would say that would be a great repower, more power than any 6.2, flat tq curve, and great milage, and with a little tweaking you can...

Not enough power, thats really a false state ment maybe in stock form but a 4bt is easy to get large power numbers out of. Its more than capable to produce a reliable 400hp for the ones with a inline injection pump, with not much more than injectors and mild pump work, and a turbo. With...

Im not spink but i will try to guess his mods(well atleast get close) The rear appears to have a shackle flip on it, and the front I noticed a longer shackle, and lift springs and possibly f350 extended shock towers. Honestly a chevy leaf spring suspension is really easy to get flex from...

Thou not a CUCV on my last trip in the great sand box, about 10 clicks across the boarder I blew a hose on my M1114, and we fixed it enough to keep moving with some 100 mille hour tape, a foil and plastic wraper off a MRE and 3 sticks, later on same deployment some 550 cord was used to keep us...

With a detroit in the rear, honestly I never had a issue with the snow, I put about 1500 lbs of tractor weights in the bed and drove around in 2wd more often than 4wd. The detroit will push just like many have said but if working properly if you coast around turns its easy to live with, what i...

The timing gets off by wear on the timing chain and stretch can cause the timing to be off. Also pumps can wear and this can affect the timing.

Great looking truck, and awsome find, i am trying to find one myself. The differences in power, timing and engine noise could very well be just diff in timing between the two trucks. Since this new truck has good power, (never mentioned any smoke) and is alittle harder to start I would think...

1 or more dirty injector's or possible faulty injectors, injection pump timing off. Are there any new leaks or any fuel leaks? I also agree with 2 duece the matress was probably one heck of a drag.

The rims are 16 by 8 inches wide. I had really good luck with a set of 34x10.50 Super swamper LTB's on my truck when I was in Alaska, I mounted these without any lift and they did great in the snow, but since they didn't have any siping(sp?) in the tread they werent the best on roads with ice...

Saving a buck is great. But there are plenty of problems that can happen that I know you cannot see without testing injectors first. But again its saving a few dollars and risk cylinder wash and wrecking a motor, maybe just a burnt piston or valve. And rebuilding a injector is very simple...

I have never seen 40hp tips for a 6.2 diesel, I know there are 40 hp injectors for the marine 6.5 turbo, and these 6.5 injectors will fit a 6.2 with the fine thread heads, which i belive are later than 82.(and they work wonderful with a turbo kit and a slightly tweaked inj pump). I have seen a...

cummins swaps into chevys are not hard at all, they are expensive if not planned properly. And it all depends on your area and parts available. The biggest problem i have seen ppl have with cummings swaps is simply moving the heavy beast. Cant put it on a regular engine stand, and some of the...

Ok I have a little time swapping 6bt cummins into chevy truck platforms, as I own 3 myself. Also I have a few dodges with cummins. As far as the getrag trans goes if your not looking to push more than 500hp to the rear wheels, then I would simply suggest you rebuild it over fill it atleast 1...
