    I'm pretty sure mine was installed without any regard to checking the oil - 6 months in it seems fine.

    Cummins R2.8 Repower Complete 10,000 Miles on it

    I believe it does- I hear it dumping.

    The turbo comes with the crate engine, it's a cummins product I believe and I have seen boost up to about 24PSI but have heard it goes to 27.

    Temps for the most part stay around 176F to 185F around town. Highway runs 195F unless I am pulling a long grade in a hot day then they creep up- I slow down when above 215F

    Left the speedo plugged into the transfer case, no change.

    Sorry, I don't think my process is repeatable. I would check with your local builder or better yet referee.

    Tachometer set up is not too bad. You can either have your ECM flashed to match the input of the tach, I think it might be 2 pulses per revolution but can't remember or you can run a converter like I have from dakota digital. The app on the old iPhone is from blue driver, it is a bluetooth...

    Cummins R2.8 Repower Complete 10,000 Miles on it

    So today I finally got a video of the install, I am still working on a few little issues like it gets a bit warm and the transmission connector to the controller can be flakey but it’s pretty awesome. I get the following questions a lot so I’ll try to answer them. Mileage - 22 to 28 MPG - 18...

    Cummins R2.8 in my FJ62 - Questions for those that have converted

    No problem! After one of the updates to firmware the Murphy gauge will now light up with "Wait to Start" when you turn the vehicle on. I don't have the "wait to start" LED or lead activated so I only use the Murphy gauge. Hopefully that answers your question. This issue isn't really related to...

    Depends on the temp- I think the fastest I have seen is 5 seconds or so

    Cummins R2.8 in my FJ62 - Questions for those that have converted

    I also bought my transmission from Zero Gravity. They didn't have the kit then but put together everything I would need. I plugged everything in and it worked right out of the box. I was worried about the same thing, would it need to be tuned or maybe a better tune. Now when I bought it I did...

    Cummins R2.8 in my FJ62 - Questions for those that have converted

    Yes I have found the same thing. Funny enough sometimes I just get in and turn the key and go and it works fine. Just depends on the day! I have noticed if I haven't driven it in a few days it happens more often, like it has some type of volatile memory or something.

    207 is okay, on hot days it may go higher. Are you having any issues with engine vibrations?

    Cummins R2.8 in my FJ62 - Questions for those that have converted

    Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I just saw this. So I have about 6000 miles since the conversion. I had significant vibration from the engine and swapped out the engine mounts to the ones offered from AXIS Industries. Huge difference! Now engine vibration is what I would consider...

    Cummins R2.8 in my FJ62 - Questions for those that have converted

    Nope. No way legally. There are ways to get around it but none are legal. Use a vehicle that is older and does not require smog, use a vehicle that was diesel before, register in a non-smog county - but you can never sell it in California.

    Thinking of Buying LED Headlights from Cruiser Corps. Anyone tried these?

    I bought these and like them. I just plugged them in, however I think they may have day time running light capability but haven't figured it out yet. There is a wire separate from the light but when you add power it makes the center light strobe red. Cool, but yeah, that will get me in trouble.

    Cummins R2.8 FJ60

    Okay, wow its taking longer than I planned. It's fired up and moving under it's own power. Some final wiring left to do and then the A/C needs to be finished up! Hopefully I'll have a video up soon.

    Do you have a post on the speedhut gauges? I think I have seen the cluster in a 60 but not a 62. I would be interested to see pics of the exhaust routing, I haven't done exhaust yet but routing it avoiding the front drive shaft and shackle looks challenging.

    I have a couple of questions about your install. Beautiful rig by the way. Did you keep the stock Tach? Did you use something like the Dakota Digital converter if you did? I believe the FJ62 has 3 pulses per rotation and the output of the R2.8 is either 12 or 2 now. Next set of questions :)...
