Re: Looking for a cummins donor vehicle for 2500hd
I think it would be cool to have a 6bt in on of those era trucks. i thought about it when i had my 04. but its gonna be a project. as for mileage, id say lower the better. a VP engine with that many miles could be looking to toss an IP if it hasnt already. a good running 12v with that wouldnt scare me as much. not to mention, a lot of the early ISB engines came with 53 blocks and they are known to have cracking issues. if it made it 224k with no crack though, i would not be worried about it.
as for fitment, i have no idea. i saw one truck with a cummins swap when i was poking around thinking about it for mine. it was a 2wd but it fit fine. not sure what hurdles you would be looking at makingg the 4wd work. i also wonder about guages and dash lights. that may be an issue or may not be. i dont know how interconnected the GM BCM and ECM are for that truck
