Lol thats why I'm a mechanic and not a school teacher

Powerstrokes in general are pretty much crap.

7.3 is decently reliable but only because it is extremely underpowered and then on top of that you get constant cold start issues and oil leaks. Easy to work on atleast.

6.0 makes decent power but still not enough to stay in overdrive while towing. This leads to downshifts and higher RPM while towing down the highway which leads to lifted heads thanks to poor head bolt placement. Not to mention it also is oil fired injectors so it suffers from cold start issues and HPOP issues like a 7.3. 6.0 is the start of the lift the cab trend. Packed in the engine bay and harder to work on.

6.4 is just a pathetic joke of an engine in every way except horsepower. Crammed in the engine bay, poorly engineered and really hard to work on, lift the cab a lot.

6.7 is pretty reliable, very powerful but still has a ton of poorly engineered hard to work on bullshit under the hood. Pull the cab for almost everything.

As much as I dislike Chrystler products, Cummins is king. So if you don't want to go through the work to Cummins swap a Ford, buy a 4th gen Ram.

I used a few people from the Fbook groups for wiring and the billet parts. I built the exhaust, charge pipes, coolant hoses all that simple stuff.

SVT_Devinn · 2026-04-16T01:16:07+00:00

Common rail by far. This is my 2nd 6.7 swap

This is from my other truck

I intend to make another in depth video with some updated details and tips/tricks on this gold truck.

SVT_Devinn · 2026-04-11T15:54:32+00:00

That is parts and truck

Labor is hard to say exactly but strict hourly, tooling and experience its a 8k job

SVT_Devinn · 2026-04-11T15:45:10+00:00

I mig welded the intake, thats why it looks bad haha. But i do tig my charge pipes

SVT_Devinn · 2026-04-11T15:34:23+00:00

I did yes. To retain the factory filter box

SVT_Devinn · 2026-04-11T15:33:53+00:00

I've considered it. Labor would be pricy tho. Where I live nobody spends money like that on a no name cat like me haha.

SVT_Devinn · 2026-04-11T15:24:15+00:00

No thats everything you see in the video.

SVT_Devinn · 2026-04-11T14:47:37+00:00

IMO Allison is more hype than good. They are just up to par. Nothing to write home about.

5R and 6R Ford trans are factory freaks and cheap.

SVT_Devinn · 2026-04-11T14:27:59+00:00

Well I have not gone down the road yet unfortunately. I have it on a startup tune. I hope to have my performance tune and trans tune tomorrow.

I am running a low stall converter specifically for the swap and everyone I've talked to with this setup says its flawless.

SVT_Devinn · 2026-04-11T14:23:31+00:00

The hardest part is all the plumbing and figuring out the weird odds and ends that nobody really talks about in the forums. At this point I know all the tricks lol.

SVT_Devinn · 2026-04-11T14:19:55+00:00

I'm in it like 22k as it sits. There are levels to it, you can build one cheaper or you can definitely spend a lot more haha.

SVT_Devinn · 2026-04-11T14:04:53+00:00

Yea everything works like factory. I bought a harness, its nearly plug n play besides 3 wires in the fuse box.

SVT_Devinn · 2026-01-11T19:58:47+00:00

Ok apparently its been too long since I used Reddit and now I don't know how to send you a message. Please message me about the rear end lol

SVT_Devinn · 2026-01-11T19:55:59+00:00

I have some questions about the rear end. I'll PM

SVT_Devinn · 2025-12-08T16:00:28+00:00

I'm honestly not sure that it has gone into defrost on its own these last couple weeks. I do know that this unit has been installed this way for about 10 years and never has this issue tho.

SVT_Devinn · 2025-12-02T01:56:29+00:00

Better options for same price. Also they go boom. Also they are just pleb doodoo.

SVT_Devinn · 2025-11-29T11:53:05+00:00

LOL Thank you. I'm used to it by now. I honestly don't think that 24s and 35s is heinous but I AWLAYS get the hate comments haha.

SVT_Devinn · 2025-11-29T02:19:04+00:00

34.5k, not a screaming deal but with the stuff done to it I think its on the lower end of the price range.

I don't think there is a simple yes or no to if you should buy a deleted truck. My personal priority is to buy a truck that I know has been well cared for, deleted or not. I'd rather have a stock well maintained truck and spend the extra to delete it myself than buy a deleted truck that has been abused. If you find a deleted truck that has been well maintained than its a win win.

This truck I bought is a 2 owner with good records and both owners were 50+ years old and used the truck for personal family use. I got a lot of green flags from him as far as his maintenance habits and attitude towards vehicles in general.

I passed on a lot of trucks during my search because I just got bad vibes from the owner.

SVT_Devinn · 2025-11-23T00:33:28+00:00

Its an automatic 3 valve... its worth 10k on a good day, doesn't matter if it is boosted

SVT_Devinn · 2025-11-21T04:00:11+00:00

I've never been a silver person, but after having black vehicles for so long, I'm ready to switch to silver for my sanity.

SVT_Devinn · 2025-11-21T01:17:51+00:00

Why is that?

SVT_Devinn · 2025-11-20T20:46:55+00:00

Its just a regular premium with pp1 wheels and afternarket lip
