That’s cool, I would love to see some pics of that 6.7 install you did. Yes the 5.9 CR’s had a much shorter run that the 6.7’s have had.

The late model 5.9 commonrail is arguably the best motor Cummins has made…plus the block being the same size as the rest of the 5.9’s helps with fitment and packaging into an 80 series engine bay.

The motors have arrived! Unloading my motor, next step…some proper Cummins beige!

Yeah it’s going to get exciting for sure. The old Ford wheelbarrow did its job and hauled those motors home.

You can get a stand alone from painless, but only for the early commonrail (03-04.5). We are building 06 motors, and will be modifying those painless harnesses to work with the 06 ecu’s. We wanted the late model motors so we can use EFI live to tune them.

Yes full computer control on the common rail. We have standalone harnesses that we will be using.

So I have been pretty quiet here for sometime now, but it’s now officially time to bring this thread back to life with Cummins swap 2.0 I decided about a year ago to not put the 6BT back in this 80, but rather to get my hands on a Commonrail 5.9 Cummins and figure out how to make that fit...

Reviving an old thread. I am getting ready to swap a 15BFT 4.1L Toyota diesel into my BJ42. I am likely going to swap out the tiny stock turbo for something that flows better. An HX30 is one that comes to mind. Anyone have experience with the 15BFT?

We are doing pretty good! Last week when driving back from Austin to SLC I punched in OLC4x4 to see if it was anywhere near my route…unfortunately it would have added another 7 hours of driving. Maybe down that way next month.

You're looking good and lean Onur, the desert and those bikes are doing well by you. looking forward to seeing this come together.

Can’t wait to get mine swapped in….living at 6500’ I NEED that power!

Great times, glad I was able to make a trip out of the motor pickup and get to hang out with you all. Can’t wait to get cracking on the 15BFT swap into my ‘82 BJ42.

Thanks Alberto…looking forward to getting this motor into my garage. Working on shipping logistics…also considering a fly in drive out approach.
