Re: Cummins 12 Valve swap

I plan to do a cummins powered suburban (4x4).

The way I'm "planning" on doing it is just swapping the suburban body onto the dodge frame. I figure I may end up with a body lift as I believe the dodge frame is wider than the chevy, so the body mounts will probably essentailly be on top of the frame. And then I can move them height wise with to make up any differences of aches for the rearend and what not. Then I'll have the towing capacity and drivetrain to support it as it was in the dodge.

At this point, its just a plan. It'll be a few years until it happens.

From what I understand, since the chevy frames are narrower, the cummins A/C compressor doesn't fit in the stock location, so it must be relocated if you run A/C.

Oh yeah, then I'm going to put multiple layers of sound deadner on the firewall.....other wise I don't think my wife will ride in it
