Cummins Repower

Tip Toe Behind The Rocks is on the agenda today for Tom and Chris in his Cummins R2.8 powered BJ73! 🙌🏻 Tom states, “It knows how to eats rocks!”

Is "5.9 Friday" a thing?

This is the VERY FIRST Cummins-powered 4x4 Ram test truck (D002). This 1985 Dodge was purchased by Cummins from the local deal and repowered with a prototype B5.9.

It is still running strong around Columbus, Indiana and maintained by the Cummins Heritage Center.

(note Clessie's personal Caddy repower getting some love in the background)

The R2.8 Turbo Diesel turns any type of rig into a road tripper! 🛣️

The efficiency of of the engine gives you the range confidence to leave the fuel cans back at the garage for the long hauls across the range (even when you're driving a box and rockin' 37" tires!) 🌬️ ⏪

Throwback to cross country driving with and "Tube Sock" the underwater TJ!

A bit of history here...

This was the first R2.8 Turbo Diesel crate engine sold to a customer. The team at set the bar VERY high with this immaculate Scout 800!💪

Not built to be trailered, we would go on to cross paths with it in Indiana, Kentucky, Arizona, and Colorado! 🗺️

Happy Valentine’s Day!

We thought you might enjoy a bunch of boxes of engines more than boxes of chocolates!

The Cummins Repower build journey is half the fun! ⚒️

This pair of classic FSJ’s traded their crusty vacuum hoses and carburetors for direct injection and turbochargers!

Who remembers this R2.8 'powered' CJ7? 🤔

This rusty pile was saved from the scrap bin and repurposed as our SEMA display in 2015 complete with survey kiosk to help us finalize the R2.8 Turbo Diesel kit options with your input!

It's been in storage a long time. Who would like to see if it actually runs?

It's about that time of year again to get your vehicles in shape for a Moab pilgrimage! 🗺️ 📍

The R2.8 Turbo Diesel has logged MANY miles on the slick rock of Moab and the surrounding highways. The scenery (and the engine) never disappoint!

What are you taking and which event do you plan to attend?
