Id go cummins 2.8…… but thats meReviving an older thread here. Has anyone looked into this more seriously?
I am very interested in a diesel swap for my Bronco. Manual trans solve a lot of potential issues, but wondering if the CAN authentication is a non-starter. I have some experience here, so I think its doable, but wondering if anyone has taken the leap yet.
As for the folks wondering why, it would be nice to get 50%more range on a tank and better mileage under load/big tires. Diesels are just plain cool, and even the 2.8 can be tuned to 200+ HP easily, I'd rather drive a tuned diesel than a tuned ecoboost. Especially a Cummins.
Also, I would definitely not be adding an exhaust torpedo, obviously.
That said, the best engine on the market for this application, IMHO is GMs 3.0 I-6. Light, powerful, efficient. No idea how much worse the tech side might get though.
