1994 Chevrolet K3500

Cummins Swap

When I get a chance I'll update this. Recently bought a 1994 Chevy K3500, 1-ton, crew cab, long box, dually truck. It's a mammoth, and the guy that I bought it from swapped in a Cummins 5.9L out of a Dodge truck.

I drove this truck for much of the summer of 2011, and everything seems to working out great with the swap. I had the NV4500 transmission rebuilt, purchased a new borg warner transfer case, and put those in myself. I worked out a few bugs with the power steering, and now that works pretty well as well.

The truck also came equipped with some very large tires, and I removed them, opting for a more highway friendly size for the time being. I intend to use the truck for hauling, not off roading. Looks smaller, but works better I think.

Check back for pictures when I get into the transmission fix, and later working more on the already swapped engine.

 

Soon the truck will be finished, and maybe some good fuel mileage numbers will be shown here. Till then, enjoy the pictures!
