In the middle of a Cummins swap currently - putting a 24 valve in an 08 F350 ( had an emergency medical procedure slow me down - as soon as I get the aftermarket leg I’ll get back on it)!
No need being the cheapest. Do quality work for a fair price and you usually will always have more work than you can do. If people start saying what so and so will do it for I tell em take it to them. My labor is non negotiable. It costs what it costs and it takes what it takes to do the job.
I suppose the swap can be done in a weekend but tons of quality will be sacrificed, will leak oil and some certain things will probably need to be re-done after they have problems with the weekend job, quality work takes time and experience, well done Josh and Donald!!!
Looking good and always a awesome feeling when it just works lol. I have about 250-300 hours into my Chevy squarebody Cummins swap but that was all by myself no extra help from start to finish and daily driving it. Awesome job 🤙🤙🤙
I'd probably drive it. I like the 12v but I am going a different route. 1994 Chevy K3500, common rail 6.7, and a NV4500. I have been collecting parts for a while. Figured out the combination to get everything to bolt up nice and clean. Once I get the 07 mega cab out of my shop and sold the swap will begin. Bolting it in is the easy part. Making everything nice and clean is going to take time. I give myself a month to get it in and wired to move in and out of the shop. Probably a year before it's complete due to my work schedule.
Great choice, I have always loved the 88-98 body style GM trucks. My favorite body style of them all, still miss my old 97 Z71, just not the gutless motor. But I hate to tell you that 6.7 will fold that half ton frame in half first full throttle pull.
Great video Josh. I keep saying it bro them fab skills on point brotha! What a difference the last 2 years man!! I’m about to tackle a compound set up on my 5th gen. I hope it comes out half as good as yours brother
Looks awesome!!!! I do this thing where I forget & leave my rag I wipe with acetone on the welding table & when I notice I'm always like woah that could have been bad. I see your whole jug on there and I think uh oh. I do mig sometimes so it matters more but be careful player.
That's actually pretty reasonable on the price of labor, i was thinking it would've been closer to like 20k on labor. I want to do this to my 90 squarebody suburban
Very nice swap, well done! As far as doing one in a weekend I call BS. We've got a mechanic lives nearby that everyone calls 8 ball, he damn sure could though. He once was working on a D6 that had slid off in a pond and he had the motor out of it half torn down and most of the wiring harness. This was after 5pm when I stopped by his shop to borrow some tools. I dropped them back off before work next morning and that Cat was being loaded onto a trailer!
Swapped my super duty to One of them junks in a weekend. Started it on a Friday finished Sunday night drove it to work Monday. 6 months later swapped it back to a 6.0
Looks killer bro! Donald should be permagrin each time he walks in the garage. The old 12v sounded so damn smooth, sounded like a sewing machine. Great work as always.
If u wont something nice and u got to pay the man for his skills and u definitely have the skills great work josh looking f orward for u todo some work for me
Question, 450 HP will produce how much torque? Everyone always speaks in HP. Awesome build! 4bted and NV4500 a 1970 C10 4x4 20 years ago, probably 50 - 60 hours in that with no intercooler. Truck runs 80 MPH and sips fuel. Thank you
