If your looking for a crd diesel motor to swap in your ford over a mechanical 6bt, then the crd 5.9 and 6.7 cummins would be where I would look first, as more tunes and support are available for these motors than the dd series motors which are used mostly in the commercial industry... however most of the ford psd to cummins swaps I see are 6bt because of the simple aspects of getting the motor to run in the truck, to do a cummins 5.9 or 6.7 crd you would need the ecm-pcm and the entire harness unless you do a full delete, I have a 18 6.7 ram and the truck is great, gets 18-20 mpg on the highway at 70-75 mph, but there is a lot going on for engine management, which I'm not a fan of, just the nature of the beast as is all crd diesels...

 

Does anyone delete all that emissions stuff? Say for an older truck that no longer requires emissions testing. It sounds like the only reliability problems in the newer trucks comes from emissions equipment.

Or maybe there's a way to make it not function until it's time to get an inspection? The reason I ask is because it seems to harm these newer engines more than it helps.

 

There are tunes out there for the crd 5.9 and 6.7, not sure how this would work for a engine swapped vehicle, as in putting a newer motor with accessary equipment into a older vehicle, that does not require said equipment, my guess would be you would need to send in your ecm to a tuner for a reflash to a desired tune that will run the motor without the unnecessary items... you would probably need to contact one of the numerous tuner sites out there for more details... you would probably also need to check your local emissions requirements before swapping a later model vehicle, in ca diesel powered vehicles 97 and older do not require emissions testing, here in az, my county does not test for any year vehicle...

 

That's it, I'm going off the grid...!!! 😄
