Al from the skid factory did a whole video series doing a cummins conversion to his patrol he got the engine built in canada by deboss garage was a very interesting build Al's patrol sounds like a diesel beast he upgraded the chassis everything really if I had the time and cash and workshop I would most definately love to do a cummins conversion myself even for fun I wonder how quick in a lighter vehicle they would go down the quarter mile they are capable of being built to withstand about 1000hp I am not a diesel expert but if I were to mess with diesel it would be a cummins
The 12v is an absolute beast. The rest don’t compare in bullet prof years of madness. Bet in diffs and trans, over the scale of the motor. P pumps are scary and watch it with over power runaways. The hell with the last of the v8s, these monsters are haunting
You have clearly been infected friend. It's ok. Just allow yourself to love it. The Cummins power is intoxicating. I now have 4. Because I haven't got 5 yet.
Hey Rod did you get a chance to get it out on the interstate and open her up, let the big dog eat lol,? What was the tachometer at cruising speed around 70 mph ish? Did it shift into overdrive smooth?
So that’s a 12v Cummins right? Well what did y’all do bc here in the us Silverado’s have the 4l80e and I gotta 98 Dodge Ram 2500 24v Cummins it’s an 47re trans and I’m tearing it apart bc I gotta tuner idk what to do with it..
He said it's the 24v. The 4L80e is more available here. Because all the US trucks are imported in left hand drive and converted here. So expensive and hard to get parts for locally
Love the rig and good to see the local area gettin into and showing us these toughies
Glad you like them!
Great presentation of a beautiful customer GU and conversion! Thanks, guys! Now, back to my exhausted, four-pot ZD30... Hm...
11:45 start up for test drive
Yes it's the earlier 12 valve 5.9L Cummins that had the 6 rocker covers.
I’ve done a bit of looking around and it mad 325hp and 827nm

I like to see it do some of the tracks that the the other one has done before saying yes to that
All Nissan 4 wheel drives should be have a Cummins from the factory.
Should do a video on a patrol in Australia if one exists here with a Mercedes OM606 engine conversion done.

They that good?
That's gold lol. Hopefully you are on track to getting your 5th
Great video Rod, keep up the good work.
looks and sounds like an awesome conversion.
6BT only way to go for a diesel. Has all the power you'll need plus a lot more.
that is a top build!
Hey Rod how would you compare the 4L80E to the Allison they use behind those 6bt's in the US???? In comparison to price vs reliability???

Have you done something for your toyota Rodney
Still waiting for the new long motor to arrive from Toyota Nathan. When I get that done I will be able to enjoy her again!

The one in the video is a 24v, at 2:56 he mentions it.
He said it's the 24v.
The 4L80e is more available here.

Should make this your new vehicle instead of the 79
how much do you charge for conversion?
Drop me an email with some details of vehicle etc to rodney@askorto.com.au
What is the total cost?
email rodney@askorto.com.au and let him know what engine you intend to run etc.
nice
Welcome to America 😜
Wonder how much it burns
Seen in another similar build same engine in a gq wagon getting 11 litres to the hundred and 13 when towing also using an automatic
