Cummins Turbo Diesel swapped 2012 JKU build

[Thegreenmachine12]

What did that swap cost you ?

The swap costs $35,500 but for the 2007-2011 JK's they do the mechanical 4BT swap which is $25,500

This may seem trivial, but how does the additional weight from a diesel motor do on rocks? Is there a noticeable difference with how it climbs? I love the idea of a diesel, I just don't understand how to take care of the additional weight. Do you need a stiffer suspension up front as well?

I will see in Moab how it does but the way it's setup the weight doesn't seem to make a huge difference.

I will see y'all at EJS this year. Can't wait to see how the diesel and the Dynatrac's perform out there! :thumb:

I haven't posted on this thread in awhile, so here's what's been going on with the green machine:

Got the LS3 installed



Put the winch back on! I gotta get a Warn though!



Right now we're working on the PSC Ram assist, the bottom of the pump is leaking. Found a blown O-ring, replaced it, but it's still leaking from the bottom of the pump. More to come on that.

Also bought some new Wayalife decals, got them in the mail yesterday!

What happened with the Cummins?

It's a very long and painful story...

I've been looking into the Cummins for a while so I was just curious why you got rid of it

OK, so that's never going to happen. Exactly why I will never take my vehicles to a shop.

There are plenty of good shops in the country, just not that one...

Well the Jeep has been running well for a couple months now. I want to thank Wes at Trail Jeeps for helping me with my PSC steering leak, he helped me get the proper O ring for the pump to fix the leak.
