Cummins 2.8 actually in an 80 (1 Viewer)

[junior80]

Is there anyone from cummins on mud?

If it's anything like most diesels you would need higher gearing in the axles. The Repower website has a gear ratio calculator you should check out!

P.S. when are you headed out west to hit Moab?

Hey Nate! I'm taking off April 3rd and should arrive later in the day on April 5th. We're staying there till the 12th!

Looking at the Proffitts test vehicles its showing one is an HZJ79 as a beta vehicle and repowered with the cummins and the H55 manual tranny so apparently there is an adapter for that.

Cummins is currently offering 15% off the 2.8 and free shipping with code "cummisnrepower". Comes out to $7650

You could direct message @davedanders Instagram or look up Cumminsrepower on FB or Instagram. Dave usually responds pretty quick to every post.

Just like a good attorney will never ask a question in court that he doesn't know the answer, Cummins would not have made such a bold PR move as this without have some initial data that it would work well. This looks very promising.

Does anyone know if the bolt pattern is the same as the 4BT/6BT?

I don't know if it's the same, but according to their YouTube install video series it's built to boot up directly to a Getrag manual tranny. Axis Industries and some other aftermarket companies are making adaptors for popular tranny applications. As far as I know there are no direct adaptors yet for my 80 tranny, but I'm ready to swap the tranny anyway. (Cummins Repower - YouTube)

I'm still waiting to see if anyone has run it through a california referee.

I found this after I sent that response:

• Component Dry Weights:
  Engine: 535 lbs w/o accessories
  Transmission: 218 lbs w/ 300mm converter
  Transfer Case: 92 lbs w/ adapter (9lbs)
  Total Powertrain Weight: 845 lbs

That in turn made me look this up: Toyota 1FZ-FE Engine | Tuning, specs, supercharger, oil. Made me laugh when I read to the bottom and thought of you.

good find I like reading about the lack of flaws.

We have one going to California in an 80 series, but it won't be done for a while. So far I like my setup though with the R2.8 and H55f.

I know Cummins ran a test wrangler through testing at CARB, but their disclaimers still leave me a little spooked. I am very close to buying it. Im considering the 6L80E tranny like Proffit put in the Cummins 80 series test rig, but would use the stock trans if it would work well. I'd love to hear more about the details of the 80 rig you are building. is there a seperate thread you are posting about this build?

We are very close to firing this thing up and will be able to give a report on how it works with stock auto: Delta Vehicle Systems goes to Overland

In-house made transmission adapters?

Yes, did you have a chance to browse the first few posts of the Overland thread? You can see it there.
