Hello all.
I have a 2009 F350 with 410,000 km. I can't trace my small degas bottle bubbling (suspect head gasket), oil cooler is getting plugged (delta is around 10-11 degrees), and my blowby is slowly increasing.
Looking ahead I want to keep the truck but I can see many $$ in my future. I'm planning on driving it until it fails and doing a cummins swap. I've been reading a ton and know most of my options from 12V to 6.7.
My goal is to do a swap and get as close to the power I have now. With the kits out today it seems I can swap any of the Cummins engines and at around the same cost for the kit give or take. I need to understand if I'm better off getting a 12V and adding HP and torque or just going 24V or 6.7.
Please offer your opinions.
