warpedskydiver 0 #1 August 23, 2009 I know the new ZJ's come with an optional Benz diesel, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a 5.9L Cummins in a Grand Cherokee? Seems like if it would fit that combo would be outstanding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warpedskydiver 0 #3 August 23, 2009 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGUN 1,424 #4 August 23, 2009 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... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlTa-Y0brbw Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

warpedskydiver 0 #5 August 23, 2009 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
