Cummin's to Ford

[vapor_300]

Recently I just traded in my 2001 Cummin's in on a 2006 Powerstroke. And to tell the truth I dont know much about these powerstroke's, and most that I have heared about them is bad. I was just curious about what i should watch for on these things, the do's the dont's, you know all that kind of stuff.

Also I have a Sledpuller 66 turbo that I took off by dodge, does anyone know if they will work in a ford?

You'll almost certainly loose an injector or two. Some people have not experienced this problem, but I have lost two with less that 16,000 miles on my rig (an '05). Watch for computer re-flashes, as they do them often. Don't modify your truck with anything you cant take off/return to stock. If you get an exhaust, keep the "cat" for warranty purposes. Lift kits void warranties at some dealerships, not at others. Hopefully you own your truck for a long time without any problems. If anything goes wrong and you can't figure it out, come to this site for answers. There is a lot of knowledge here. Most importantly, welcome and enjoy.

06 strokes are probably going to be the best for the 6.0 engine
most issues have been resolved and we are not at a record number of recalls for teh year.
Dont tow over your rated capacity

Dont let your wife know how much money you spend on mods

Do drive it like a truck and let her breath

Do get good gauges, at least a real tranny temp and an exhaust guage, then a boost and its all up from there

Do change oil like its recommended

if you get a tuner...... or chip...... warranty could be an issue later

Do get a good freer breathing exhaust

Wash her regualry, followed by hugs and waxing


put truck details in your signature, that way we can help you spend $$ on her

I like my truck a good bit
on my fourth one

You must be loving the sound compared to that 6 cyl. huh?

I personally love the Cummins motor, but I don't like the truck it comes in. I love my truck and I dig the 7.3, but if I have it long enough to need a new motor, I will consider doing the Cummins conversion. I don't want to get flamed, but their power potential and fuel economy is hard to beat.

you can now use a drive thru at the Sonic, without shutting down

The people at my Sonic must be half deaf, Robert. I ALWAYS have to shut down before I order at their drive through, there and anyplace else for that matter. But I do love that sound, and like Raymond, EVERYONE LOVES MY TRUCK!

I do like the whistle that it makes, dont know how it will sound with a straight pipe but i guess i'll find out later. It does not have no where near the power my dodge had but then again it wasn't very stock, but i think im going to keep this one stock for a long time.

My dodge put down 594hp with 1237torque on a dynojet

Just out of curiosity, why did you sell the Dodge and jump in a Ford? I think you'll find quite a few people that like the Cummins but don't like its wrapper, that's why they're in Fords.

I hope you enjoy the truck, and good luck keeping it stock....especially on this site!
