Well yeah. But it'd be cool. And fun to do.Really, would it? You could drive cross country twice and it would only save you $1200 in gas. That's two round trips cross country and you've saved less than the price of what, tires?
I burned up some of the 4.0 wiring insulation during my swap. I had my welding helmet on so I couldn't see it (I guess the fire watch guys were right). I didn't have my fire extinguisher nearby, but it was barely anything and I just put it out with my glove. I did start keeping the fire extinguishers within arm reach.In a moment of forgetfulness I installed the Cummins harness on the firewall with out checking for clearance of the clutch pedal. Needless to say it interferes by a 1/2”.
So tried to take the lazy way out and put a torch to the clutch pedal and move it about. Even with heat shields up and everything. I managed to set the clutch wiring ablaze.
Never torch without a fire extinguisher close by.
Whew
I was thinking there was a port on the thermostat housing that needed to be capped. I know I had to get a set of caps when I did my install and that's all that I can remember.I’m running out of vacation days. And feel like way behind.
What is this part for?
Just save your money. If you put, say a car payment amount of money into savings each month, when it comes time to get another vehicle (fixing is cheaper than purchasing a new vehicle except in some situations with wrecks), the swap may make sense to you or you have cash, which can be used to get some really good deals. Looking at the way more and more emissions stuff is going, this swap keeps making more and more sense.Well yeah. But it'd be cool. And fun to do.
Maybe if the means fall into my lap I'll pull the trigger
So I’m running into the issue of where did you guys route the heater core coolant hose. I can’t find it in the Cummins manual or in the pictures of the installed engines.
Can you post a photo please
I'm pretty sure I went with the hose from the thermostat to the top of the heater core. Leave them long if you're worried. They're hard to get on the heater core so trim them on the Cummins sideSo I’m running into the issue of where did you guys route the heater core coolant hose.

I forgot to bleed the EGR type stuff (I did bleed the system for a long time and multiple times, but totally forgot). My stuff is running fine, but it's only on there until I'm out of warranty.Yes that’s wrong, that little cap you posted a picture of a few days ago caps off that thermostat nipple. You have one hose coming off your radiator over flow going into the over flow bottle and another hose coming off the over flow bottle for the drain.. the drain is the one with the metal tube sticking up like 4 inches inside the over flow bottle if that makes sense.... forget the Cummins diagram as they did away with that mess... be sure once you fill with coolant to bleed the system by opening the little bleed cap near the egr and continue to fill until coolant comes out of there. I’ll get a picture if you need..
