Default Diesel swap into a 94 Dakota.

This a diesel swap into a 94 Dodge Dakota. This is thanks to dbilik. I know we get questions about a diesel swap every now and then. This is a cool swap. I will post this up in the FAQ2.

Man, that's awesome.

I've always dreamed of swapping an older Cummins inline 6 (i know that was an inline 4) into a smaller car. There's some guy on youtube that swapped a cummins L6 into an older Impala. I know, i know, chevy, but its still awesome

Actually Ford doesn't make or own Cummins diesel from what I have read. They use their engines and that is it. Ford used to be affiliated years ago but no longer has stakes in the company.

Correct! Ford has nothing to do with the Cummins. They are there own company that produces there engines for a verity of companies for a verity of vehicles and tractors and other equipment.

X3. I'm tired of this damn rumor. Ford does not and has not ever owned cummins.
