My crazy idea is to put a 5.9 cummins 12 valve in my 94 4x4 ranger reg cab. What things will i have to change and can i keep my 4x4? Also its a 5 speed so i want to keep it that way. What type of trans can i use and what has to be changed?

 

do it and make sure you do a build thread on here

 

youtube, been done

 

it's been done b4. expect it to be very expensive. new rear end, new tranny, new front suspension and rear prolly. also you'll need to strengthen your frame. pushing your firewall back. its alot of work.

I know it has been done before but i was just seeing if anyone on here has done it and looking for tips on how to do it. i also a wyo tech student in pa so i can do some of the work at school when i go to chassis fab and im doing other work on the body in street rod as well

 

Do you by chance know a giant tall guy named ben?

 

theres a guy here in town who put a 5.9 into a dakota it looked like a **** load of work, it would just be easyer stick a ranger body on a shortned ram frame or make a ranger ext cab long box diesel

 

id rather just buy a ram with all that work. the rager will nver be able to tow the same as a full size cumwagen

 

You really think there is a list of parts you will need to do the job? If it were that easy everyone would do it.

 

trust me buddy i JUST graduated there u really dont have that much time there in class to do the work :) with all the comps n such

 

these guys are doing it....

That would be one heck of an undertaking, but if you had the money, the time, and something to drive in the meanwhile, that would be one sick freaking truck!
