I just thought that I would share what we have been working on at the shop. We actually have two conversions going on. The first one is a 01 Superduty that we pulled the 5.9l Cummins/ 48RE out of and are sticking in a 08 6.7L Cummins/ Allison/ Ford T-case combo. It still is a little ways from being done.
The project that we are just wrapping up is a 06 Superduty, that we installed a 08 6.7L Cummins in that is using the factory 6.7L ECM, TIPM and HVAC control unit. It is backed by the factory Ford 5R110 tranny and t-case that is controlled by the 6.0L ECM. We built the engine mounts in house as well as beefed up the tranny in house.
The engine was fitted with head studs, as set of II 60hp tips, 85% CP3 and a Super Phat Shaft over a S480 twin setup. The transmission was built using a Suncoast Iron Pac build kit.
There has been some hard work along the way and some frustration for sure. We have been working thru some wiring harness issues with Ford-Cummins as far as getting the TIPM to communicate with the ECM and the factory SKIM module and SKIM key.
On initial startup we had the run-die problem, and we figured out that we had no CAN BUS communication. Once we got that all figured out we loaded the truck on a trailer and sent it to our local dealer to program all the modules. Once that was done the truck started right up and idled great, had 3000+ rpm when driven but the tranny was a little odd shifting.
Figured out that we were missing a TPS and MAP signal to the Ford ECM. After looking at the wiring we found no way to tap into and use the Cummins TPS. We had to piggy back the Ford TPS onto the Cummins TPS to make it work. The Map sensor was simply a matter of "T"ing into our boost reference line. When all that was done the trans shifted properly and worked great.
We are still working through the a/c issues. We are trying to retain the factory electronically controlled cooling fan, as well as maintaining the Ford factory HVAC controls in the dash.
Here are a few pics of the build. I hope you guys enjoy.
I would like to thank our parts suppliers: Premier Performance, Industrial Injection, GOS Performance, De-Stroked, Ford-Cummins and Glacier Diesel Performance
