To sum it up, The 12 valve has more potential, reliability and support. Plus it’s fun.But... We've hacked his thread long enough over a disagreement and a joke lol![]()

We all let go of vehicles when we need the money.I wish I never got rid of my 12 valve rotary pump '92 F350. Great setup just loud and I needed money at the time.
My 94 truck also was fine, I actually sold the engine to someone for $1800.That’s wild. My ‘00 crew cab has never left me stranded. I must have gotten lucky with a good one.
So are you sticking with 37" tires or going bigger?When I had it running it’s best with the 6.5, it would accelerate like mad. Even on 37” tires. But if attached anything to the back of it, the rig was gutless. Never understood that. And the electric pump would make you loose your sanity trying to keep it running.
I worked hard on deciding this. Going to drop the lift down a bit first.You gonna have to do some playing around to get gearing right or do you have that calculated out already?
Sticking with 37’s. And I’ve got 4.56 gears in the axles.So are you sticking with 37" tires or going bigger?
With the Cummins you can afford to keep taller gearing, actually you probably want to, so you don't have to rev the engine too much on the highway.
I would go 4.56
That’s what I calculated. I agree. Should be fine.4l80E/4.56/37" has a 70mph RPM of 2100-2200.
Not sure what the cummins sweet spot is, but I'd think that wouldn't be too bad.
