my brother keeps talking about putting a cummings into his 2001 grand cherokee is this really as easy as he says it is?

jimmy this is for you

06 or 07s came with a diesel but I think they are hard to find. Referring to the grand Cherokees by the way so if you mean the wranglers then nevermind lol.

its been done, its probably not super easy

4bt swaps into all kinds of different jeeps have been done, theres info out there, u just have to search.

Unibody no thanks.
Easy, definitely not.
Motor + tranny + transfer case, motor mounts, crossmembers, computer, new driveshafts, wiring nightmare, new axle housings to support the power ... the list goes on
Why not just buy a truck with a cummings, lift, tires, lockers = finished ?

For the love of god


It is Cummins, not Cummings

X2

This

eh waste imo

Thankyou....

It's been done. It's not a honda swap by any means but its a mechanical motor... Now if you want to start getting into making all of the factory jeep guages work like stock, thats where money gets higher. If you dont give a fuck and throw in some random guages its not very bad at all. Make sure he wants to swap a 4BT. a 5.9 or 6.7 will KILL the front end of that poor thing. the 4bt will be heavy for it as it is.

edit-- The motor swap itself is easy, yes. The rest of the drivetrain in ANYTHING other then a truck, will fucking suck ass. we had the motor swapped and running in 6 hours on the 86 ram charger. took 2 1/2 weeks for the rest of the fab for trans, axles, suspension, etc...
