    Vince, oh guru of 6.0's, I am having an issue. Truck will only get warm inside the cab under HEAVY engine load, but then it cools back off. Electronic clutch on the fan is running ALL THE TIME, but only after the dummy water guage says warm.?!I am going to check the lower rad hose tomorrow...

    Talked with Destroked today. Super nice guys out there, gave me the run down on what I will need/want to buy for this conversion, talked with my friends over at Haisley Machine as well and may have to do some research on the P7100 that is on there to make sure that it is or is not an industrial...

    Picking up my 6BT Cummins tomorrow!!!

    I may end up making A LOT of my own parts, but do like the fact that their adapter plate is cut free. Like I said I have plenty of time to do the research and do this right.

    Picking up my 6BT Cummins tomorrow!!!

    a weekend. maybe two. this is a third vehicle for me, so if it is down for a while it is really no big deal.Besides to "fix" the 6.0 would cost about 10K to do it right.To do this converision I will have approx. 5K in it.

    Picking up my 6BT Cummins tomorrow!!!

    That's right! STOCK AIN'T DOC! Got a hell of a deal on it, so the teardown and build will begin shortly. Building a mild 450hp Twin turbo Cummins to transplant into my '06 F-350! Best part is, it came out of a Ford school bus and all the data plates are marked with the Ford logo! smilieFordlogo
