Our elocker fits 2016+ rear axles, it just requires a pre 2016 carrier. Cost of a used carrier out of a salvage yard around $300 +/- Call me if you have questions at 800-224-7801, option 3. :cheers:

Not gotten there yet on the Cam but had built the last 12v with the Hamilton Cams 178/208 "towing" Cam. Really enjoyed that power band... but to answer your question - have not gotten to Cam selection yet and really appreciate any insight...

What cam are you running necessitating those valve reliefs? Compression ratio? That looks like a high RPM build, not so much a grunt DD setup at all? I've enjoyed the Colt stage 2 grind for DD/towing. I tried the stage 3 Colt and hated it. Lost...

At the risk of hijacking, my own thread… 😝… who can resist Cummins engine pics??

singing my language!! yeah, I am very on the fence... as I built the bottom end like it's a sled-puller but don't want that power or smoke... just insane quick spool... and slight concern that I will out ski my ski's (knowledge) of injector...

We have some parallels here- I have a mild 12 valve in my ZF6 crew Superduty. I have zero complaints, but after owning a 2009 Dodge for awhile I miss that tuned 6.7 bottom end power. The 6.7 could squish you back in the seat at 1200 RPM in 6th...

Also - the C2.8 became stupid expensive... that matters too IMO... the isb170's cold be had reasonably for a while... they seem a little scarcer but still reasonable

I (not sure about this formatting/ indentation) I love the 6cyl cummins and you are right to call out that it can be handled in many more applications than peeps think... I just tend to "over-do" the fab work and when an engine bay is...

I didn't mean to derail your thread with all the weight discussions. Sorry! I felt I should respond to the statements that a 6BT is just too heavy or required a special fabricated frame to support it. That's all. I completely understand where...

I have both (well actually 3) ECM's one stock one with +40hp fuel & 3500 rpm (using this one) one with +100hp and 4k rpm... (but I do not have compounds / airflow req'd for this) but had it programmed "for someday" not sure what weights are...

Great to know about the tuning. Have you had any done or is yours stock? Your weights are quite different from numbers I've got from our 10k shipping scale and digital crane/forklift scale.

That's exactly what I'd expect for a fully dressed p-pump 12 valve, adapter housing, flywheel, clutch, nv4500 and cast iron np205.

For what it’s worth I just pulled my 12v Cummins, nv4500, and np205 and it was 1500 even with all fluids except coolant.

Looks great! I'm figuring it's a lower speed rig so the isb170 works pretty good? I've done swaps with them and driven them some miles and they seem a bit underpowered for a fullsize vehicle driving freeway speeds. They have that delivery truck...

Definitely depends on what fueling profile the isb170 has - there’s a tuner/racer on UK (Iveco) that can do all sorts of ECM tuning - to match your planned use, fuel and air flow (turbo) My Eng+trans was 178lbs less than a somewhat stripped Ram...

Just picked up my "new to me" Turtleback today. Super happy about everything, except the front sagging a bit. Looks like the trailer is 3/4” taller already (sits on 35's), then when Im hitched I sag another 1” on flat ground. So yeah, 1.75” droop...

Beautiful rig and vintage Avion you have there. Looks to be lovingly cared for and I'm sure made for some great memories. I just got home today after 3,500 miles on the road to Yellowstone and Grand Teton overlapping some of your destinations...

:popcorn:

Eaton FS-4205 5spd Thx man

Looks like it was a fun build for sure, what transmission are you running? Love the custom shifter.

Tripped while I had a grinder in my hands and fortunately my 80 was there to break my fall. Unfortunately I couldn’t stop the the grinder from doing what they do

Goal started out as building a supra kart mk3 but it was a turd on wheels, but it had a motor and trans that were in decent condition. After selling the Supra and it’s trans it was decided that the 2j should go in a land cruiser 80 after much...

Walk around at idle. Still lots to do, but did a 10 minute drive:

Ya it looks good! I don’t know why, but visually 42’s don’t seem big anymore, just adequate and everything else seems to small. Of course they make no sense as they’re costly and more rolling mass to accel and decelerate etc etc, but they look...

42's.
