Toyota Tundra Cummins Diesel Swap
In other words we could see a Toyota Tundra diesel engine that is more superior to gas more efficient to operate and less costly to buy.
Toyota tundra cummins diesel swap. Tundra Diesel R ewind to 2005 and Toyota building upon the successful Landcruiser inline diesels was looking for a high-output yet compact powerplant to put into its larger 200 series SUVs. Using our 1996 K2500 Suburban as our example we show all the cost associated. The added weight of all the component would be a huge hit on your payload as well.
I know they had a concept last year with dullies and a diesel but maybe 5 or 6 years ago there was a bad. Franken-swaps are not in our DNA and we dont feel that. This vehicle is a 2010 Limited Crew Max 4x4 Tundra.
But Id look at one with a Cummins. In this edition of Techline reader QA Four Wheeler tech editor Verne Simons gets into more details on the Cummins R28 diesel engine and the possibility of swapping it into a 1969 Toyota Land. Of course you can still get a more affordable Tundra with a gasoline engine.
For this occasion it will probably feature a max power of more than 310 horses and more than 550 pound-feet of torque. Swap that bitch into your taco hood stacks are mandatory for this dont forget the hood stacks. We go in depth showing the costs involved with a cummins diesel conversion.
In case the oil-chugging manufacturer doesnt do anything the 50-liter V8 Cummins will continue to deliver exactly 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque. You would have to meet all regulatory requirements related to a diesel- the swap would cost more than a new truck with a diesel. For reference- even trying to swap a 57 into a truck with 46 gasser is cost prohibitive.
I know most of you will say i should just go buy a new Diesel and call it a day but after driving a few new ones i like my Tundra more. Im also a Dodge guy as well as a Toyota guy so thats saying something. If you have ever longed for a factory Toyota turbo diesel offered.
