Yeah, and the Yelp! reviews aren't getting any better. I guess we're going back to the drawing board, either with v8 or rebuilding the existing 2F. Thanks.

until you have to stop or avoid someone
Gosh I’m getting old…to be fair, I don’t drive 85 in my “modern” vehicles.

This is a really great point. Automobiles are a great exercise in systems engineering and one changes power output, one must also consider braking output and suspension performance.

Doesn't sound very pepy just loud tractor engine.

I cruise at 75-80 in my 60 with a Cummins 4bt and 35" tires and get over 25mpg. I've driven from Nashville to Moab and back and it did awesome.

Cummins seems to be Proffitt Resurrection's preferred engine. I'll have to give it a read; super unfamiliar with it.

I refuse to install another R2.8. The Cummins support SUCKS A BAG O' DEEKS!

Lost my business a few years back.

I don't see how there I enough power from them to be something for repower in a 60 series but I've never had a chance to install one . Did have someone wanting one in an 80 series I declined might be something the 40 guys could use. A buddy of mine had the chevy pickup with one factory had nothing but problems he sold it to another buddy same thing problems he traded it in on gmc Denali full size .

4.10- 4.56 gears to feel any pull/performance w/ 33s (H55F or 4L65E) and mileage was SHAT for what was "advertised"... For the $$$$$ not even worth the time and disappointment to say the least.

It's a "COOL LOOKING" swap when you pop the hood, but a waste IMO!

I feel like that r2.8 was tailor made for 1980-1989 Toyota pickups and 1985-1989 4Runners and nothing else. I’ve seen one in an 80 series that Cummins was displaying at my school in Memphis and couldn’t imagine how slow it was
