Re: Cummins 6BT Swap
ya the 6bt is rated at 302 hp and in the range of 500-600lb tq so it would be doubling the 6.2s power while taking of 2 cylinders
if you do find one with a tranny behind it its easier that way

Re: Cummins 6BT Swap
I love GM trucks. Period. BUT, if I had the oppertunity I would swap the 6.2 out for a 6BT. You would be silly not to. The 6BT is a million times better than the 6.2 If anyone telly you otherwise it is because they have not owned both and dont really know the difference.

Re: Cummins 6BT Swap
How about a 4-71 Detroit, supercharged, turbocharged, and intercooled backed by a Roadranger 13 speed trans?

Diesels rock
http://forum.neow.net/index.php?show...862&hl=cummins If it can fit in a S10 why not your truck!   Search Youtube. You'll find some great 6BT videos. |

Re: Cummins 6BT Swap
You can use a NV4500 5spd or a NV5600 6spd from a Cummins powered dodge, the autos too exept the 07.5 and up aisin & dodge trans. I say go with a Cummins, milage is just as good with better power & no glow plugs to deal with, better injection pump, & they go 700,000 miles easy (i dont know what that whould be in KM)

Re: Cummins 6BT Swap
Why would someone want to waste a truck on a 2-stroke Detroit?
