R2.8 Cummins cold start 

Thanks Roman!

Might be a little under powered for a 4x4. 2wd with stock ish size tires and a good overdrive would be an MPG monster!

@@DieselPros it would just be a daily and the heaviest thing it would ever tow would be a lawn mower on a small trailer.

@@tmannpd7290 well, at 300+ lb/ft it'd probably work awesome!

Yes it is. It's a Murphy gauge

@@DieselPros one on the left side? With small LCD and two buttons?

@ Yes

@ that display comes stock with the Cummins r2.8 crate engine , its there cuz even if u don't have any dash board stuff hooked up u can still see the rpm, temperature & other stuff of the engine!

Hey Mike I actually don't know the diff ratios top of mind. And honestly its been running around a ranch without a ton of hwy use so MPG numbers aren't useful to you either unfortunately. Speedo is still in KPH also. If we compare to the jeep wrangler platform, the 35's on 4.56 with a manual should yield around 20 mpg. More with slower hwy speeds.

Depends where you live I'd say 🤷‍♂️

And you will use it as a daily driver ?

Brotha you might already have the right trans! Is yours a manual trans? There are a ton of trans options for these, but the NV3550 and AX15 Jeep 5 speeds work awesome.

Diesel Pros I have the 4 speed auto

@@Jmschnider well bummer. That one isn't up to the task, but if you want a manual, then the Ax15 or NV3550 would be awesome. We did a TJ and there are a few videos of it on my RU-vid channel. I need to get the rest done still 🤔

Diesel Pros I’ll check them out! Thank you

Those are a 255/85/16 BFG KM3

No not much. Cold start has a little haze

Engine package from cummins runs between 7500 and 9000 depending on the time of year

Mpg is really subjective! Depends on the driver, tires, etc. As an average I'd say this engine in the 90 is capable of averaging 20 mpg

@paquitos hammer these are designed for 98 and older vehicles. They meet emissions standars for that era of diesel engines.

We do

Quite a lot actually. Biggest difference.....modern common rail fuel injection.

On the defender platform they run b/t 25 and 50 grand depending on options.

Let er rip tater chip!

Estimating 20-25 mpg

Hi Joseph, it's mated to an NV3550 5 speed. The current build RHD 90 is receiving an NV4500 for it's more forward-oriented shifter location. We also have 8 speed auto options as well for those wanting a slush box!

Have you ever mated to original transmission, my 110 has a hydraulic winch driven from transmission

@@joedemp27 we've toyed with the idea but the torque ratings on most of the Rover manuals is barely adequate for the stock tune. We can get this engine to 380 tq reliably and the R380 in most forms wont put up with that abuse. I'd love to keep the original trans personally. It'd make the swap an easier proposition.

My 110 is running a LT77 might look into a upgrade with Ashcroft transmission

@@joedemp27 yes sir I did talk to Ashcroft on that, but there's something about the LT that the adapter engineers didnt like. I will ask on the LT and let you know however!

It'd be an upgrade!

Sounds fun! What year is the Ranger?

02! clean truck im just new to trucks and would love to have a small diesel

That would be a cool project for sure!

would you be down to help me out?

@@brendenburr4640 of course! Are you looking to have us perform the install for you? Give me a ring when you can b/t 8 and 5 mountain time. 406-551-2777 and if I'm not here when you call I'll call you back asap.

Not bad 👉 just a reality

Common rails are an order of magnitude more quiet than regular diesels

This is the r2.8 made by Cummins especially for swaps and builds

@@romandashkevich9780 Gotcha. Still impressed with it now it's been in the truck a while?

@@bigbill74scots I have no experience with the r2.8 or 4bt but always thought a 4bt swapped 4x4 truck or overlander would be awesome

@@romandashkevich9780 yes they are a chinese block from cummins china. they come in foton tunland pickups
