Cummins performance, finally getting the pickup back together!
« on: November 23, 2011, 09:05:40 PM »
Besides hunting I really like diesel performance. Over a year ago I had my sidemount intake break again on my 6.7 cummins. So I pulled the head to get the intake off and once I was that far I decided to pull the engine. I brought it to a machine shop to get the bottom end balanced, billet rods put in, bigger cam, fly cut the pistons, pin some of the freeze plugs and get new valve springs. Maybe some other stuff but I'm forgetting right now. Anyways they had it for 7 months and I finally got it back recently. Last night we were able to get it back in the pickup and it shouldn't be too long and I'll be up and running again. Just have to get new injectors, new manifold and a new turbo.

I hope so, only problem is as of now there is one company that makes a tranny that supposedly holds the power. BUT its not proven.

Sweet, who is it that makes the trans? I'm guessing it's a 6 speed auto, correct? I know most of the company's are working on the six speeds but there isn't allot of options I've seen yet. I'm sure there will be very soon though.

 What was done before the intake split? you didnt list much for power adders in the rebuild. Shop had it 7mo? wow

I love my cummins, had a duralemon for 9 months, pos blew both head gaskets, fixed it myself, then sold it for a dodge.

Suncoast seems to be the furthest to making one that holds. Yes 6spd auto.

It had 120hp injectors, dual injection pumps, smarty, p&p head, smaller cam, side mount intake, 68/77/1.06 turbo. I think thats about it. The dual pump mounts where the manifold split, not sure exactly what caused the split but all the load from the serpentine belt that runs the pump was right there. I'll see if I have a better picture.

Update, talked to the injector company today, my injectors are on the way back to me. Also I ordered my manifold, should be here in the next couple weeks. Still waiting on a turbo.

I had a 2011 truck in the shop the  other day with no DPF/EGR/emissions at all under 10k miles....the guy left it idling next to me and I had to go figure out why it was smoking me out of my booth. Sure enough, all deleted.

What year is your truck? I can't picture taking a truck that new apart like that and doing it over like you've done. Awesome piece of equipment for sure. Can't wait to see the end result.

Smoking or just smelly? They usually don't actually smoke with just taking the emissions off, they just smell like a diesel. Mine is a 2007, or to get really technical, a 2007.5, the first of the 6.7s.

I love my 06 5.9.  Got some goodies on it to make it run, but it's the last one before all of the emissions garbage.  Fully loaded I'm over 19K and love being able to pull away from fords climbing hills... :chuckle:
