I Swapped a Brand NEW CUMMINS Diesel Into My Old Toyota FJ40: Here's Why! 

That 100% needs to happen

As soon as I heard 2.8 Cummins Diesel I knew it was Proffitts lol

favorite color

Would have loved to know how much that engine costs you and how much to swap I have an 8040 that that needs a swap bad

I have an 82 BJ60 I'm trying to get back on the road. Everything basically works except it's tired and needing a general overhaul. I'm trying to take out as much electrics as possible.

My 67 C10 is running a crate GM fuel injected (Ram Air) 350, I have a 700R4 in it, but have a 6 (6L80) speed automatic waiting to go in. I am waiting on the electronics/wiring harness still. It’s new territory for me a bit, so I am enlisting the help of a buddy that is a Toyota Technician. He drives a 2021 F150 5.0 SuperCab with a Pro Power Onboard as his camper. He hauls a lightweight truck camper in it and loves it, especially the generator aspect. He had my 2014 Tundra that was a horrible truck for me and a bit of a PIA for him as well. He refused to buy a full size Tundra again!!! Hahaha. Me too!! (Not really, I have driven the new Tundra DoubleCab 4x4 3.5 L TT V6. Much nicer truck than the prior model!! I’m tempted, but have a 2022 F150 Tremor as my modern truck) The 67 C10 also has 4 wheel Wilwood disc brakes. It otherwise looks stock on 15 x 8 rally’s or 15 x 8 and 15 x 10s Cragar SS with TAs for tires…… I enjoy the truck immensely. It’s a very fun and nice thing running a more modern powertrain in the older vehicles. I’m not a big fan of the LS conversions mind you. To each their own. I don’t knock the LS conversions, as some friends have some very i press I’ve trucks with these motors providing some very reliable and good looking motivation!!

Or 4 speed but with the Weber perks it up and you get decent hwy speeds of over 65 to 70!!

My FJ40 has a TBI 350, H55F and a split tcase like this one :P

HWY? Just spell out "highway."

It’s an fj40. Not an “fj”. An fj is a specific vehicle

@@flight2k5 ok. By FJ’s I was including anything with an FJ designation. But I see your point.

@@flight2k5 take a chill pill man, jeez

WHO IS IT!! I have a tacoma that needs this engine swap. I have the 2.7 and im not in love with it.

How do you not give the shop a plug?! I would like to know who did the work.

@@TheYearIGotTheRuns Proffitts Resurrection Land Cruisers

Easily the 40. 2 solid axles? FJ cruisers are nice and have a lot of creature comforts, but they will not beat a 40 in pure offroad.

How much did you spend on the swap? Also what mpg are you getting? What are the new specs?

Absolutely 👍

why would you waste your time with pre history junk.. hard riding, cold, noisy junk. upto the 80,s. toyota just flog dead horses.. & people buy the crap..only decent toyota, is the 80 /100 series, & thay,are not,,as good as the nissan gu.. mate has a 92 & 96 ,80 series.. he re built the 92 calipers for his 96,,,,dont fit....same vehicle.. toyota,,yeeeehh.. no thanks..

@@harrywalker5836 Easy on the sauce, bro.

@@harrywalker5836 Cuz in the US, Nissan's are junk and don't compare with Toyota for reliability...as per various sources, never owned one. If the GU would have made it to the US then maybe a different story on owning one. Modern equivalent doesn't spec out well for long term. Aussie videos show that the running gear except the engine are robust and handle the Duramax swap pretty well. I see a lot of them in Kuwait and thought about importing one to the US but then parts would be a biotch.

@@6806goats1 aaahh,, no..toyotas are crap.. nissan kill them.. toyota lost the plot on how to build a 4x4. they flog dead horses for too long, then miss the train on updates. the 1hz,90kw, was a good,,,, ,,, ?,,gutless engine. last forever cos you cant blow it up. nissans was the same of that era. but, the design of the nissan was more 4x4 friendly. practical. plus, for your u.s. info.. toyota owners here fit nissan diffs.. bit like those chev wankers fitting ford 9''.. wont buy a ford or nissan,,but use the bits.. if,,you put the 60 series running gear on a late 1hzfte,?, alphabet noodle engine code,.. 100 series.. it would be better, except the front diff has radius arms that are bolted horizontaly. unlike the bolt thru nissan, same as f100, range rover.. plus, youd have a transmission brake. best brake in the world.. but no, toyota went yuppie..luxury bs machines.. non, of my trucks have ifs. 62 - 02. s/duty. &, not 1 has a computer.. ''your s/duty has to have a computer.'',,hmm,, no.. its a 4.2tdi german mwm sprint. zf 5sp dana 50, stirling rear. you,, never get the goooood stuff.. 13 lt 100.. 700 nm.. german ..look them up in brazil ytoob..or africa.. they should of sold the tacoma, & 150 here. but,,were jap.. the 6.6 lly/lbz. too big, heavy. they do LS swaps.

lmfaoooo i was looking for this comment.

😂

Where I live diesel is well over a dollar higher per gallon.

On average you get 30% better fuel economy on diesel. So when diesel gets 30% higher than regular unleaded they cost about the same to drive. That rarely happens. Here in California it's at about 20%. If it gets to 30% that means some refinery had an accident.

That's the combo I'm going with in my 89 Ranger and either a NP205 or an Atlas.

Hi, I own a 1988 Fj62 that I’ve been debating installing the R2.8 or 5.3. Your experience with both is interesting. More power and torque vs the V8? Adam

How many miles do you have after swap and have you noticed any excessive oil loss???

More power and torque than the Fuel injected 5.7 l Chevy. Yes.

@@Zzus321 I just turned 20,000 miles. Not using any oil. I change the oil every 5 - 6,000 miles.

over rated engine.
