Anyone ver seen a cummins turbo diesel in a Jeep Garand Cherokee?

Recommended Posts

I had already read that, what I am thinking is getting a cummins out of a wrecked dodge truck, taking my time and building it and when I think I have the time drop it in my 1995 Grand Cherokee.

I think I would use twin turbo for better efficiency, adjustable boost and fuel settings.

It would not be hard to get it to run at 600hp.

Of course you could also de-tune it for economy as you drive.

The engine braking would be a plus when pulling the horse trailer.

Aaaah, Gotchya. Well, I don't know about the engine compartment size or if the suspenison would require beefing, or the effect on the entire power train, but I do know my nighbor has the DOdge cummins BMF diesel and having owned a PowerStroke myself; was significantly more impressed with the sheer torque and power of the cummins.

One of the guys I work with does this for his adrenaline rush...

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

It is already lifted 3" and has load range D 31" BFG All terrains.

If stiffer springs were necessary I would get them from a friend who own a spring shop.

It has a torqueflite 727 with overdrive and that can be made to withstand nearly anything, considering they had them in Hemi Cudas.

Of course new U joints and Exhaust system would be necessary.

Maybe a fuel warmer for winter.
