if you have read through some of the 6BT swaps, a drop in radiator is not enough and is one of the biggest problems with the swap
yes the cummins is about 400lbs more.


none of the cummins swaps I interact with have cooling issues. none have fancy cooling systems.

The stock setup in a non-intercooled dodge is super basic. Keep the engine driven fan with a shroud as it'll out move any electrics. That's pretty much it.
