Default RE: Cummins Power Wagon?

nope wont happen.

I would like to see one, but it just wont happen.

the placement of the winch interfeers with the massive radiator and intercooler, the hemi only weighs in at 540 pounds where as the Cummins gorilla tips the scale at 970 pounds. when weight is an issue diesel is sometimes not the way to go.

also, the stock 4.56 rear axel ratio on the PW brings the cummins to redline just to maintain highway speeds. VERY poor fuel mileage. I remember an article about it and it did say that the cummins with a 4.56 rear end gives so much acceleration that one would almost get whiplash when going full throttle at any speed.
