My brother just offered me a 12v cummins......and I don't know what to do!
I want to put it in the truck, but is it worth the money?
I keep jumping back and forth trying to decide, but I can't. I would love more torque, plain and simple.
I think the price is pretty much a wash, since I have to fix some things on the truck anyway and want to do a teardown/rebuild on my 300-6. That will cost me a bunch right there and I will end up with what I have now.
OR....I can spend a little more on putting the cummins in and have an even better motor and a LOT more power. NO need to worry about spark plugs/wires, etc..., no more electric fuel pump, no more wires cluttering up the engine bay, more power, possible mileage boost, I can dump my waste oil in the tank once filtered instead of taking it in, less maintenance all around.
I need new springs anyway, so that is a wash. I have to rebuild the tranny soon, so that would be a wash too.
Am I going nuts trying to talk myself out of the cummins? I would do a teardown on it just to make sure everything is ok anyway. It came out of a fedex truck.
HELP!
