Cummins question?

Ok
From what I understand 4bt is a "easier" install that requires less work on towers? Do you still need a body lift ,or can you squeak in? does it cost a lot to upgrade them to achieve a decent hp? (250ish hp)
Or is the 6bt a better choice due to the extra 2 cylinders ?

the 4 bt will shake your teeth out.
the 6 bt is smooth and will require an adapter plate,starter,electric cooling fans, body lift-2" min.,larger tire so you can reach highway speed,engine mounts,wiring removal mainly,exhaust mods, 160hp cummins is plenty for the truck,ethanol injection is all the hp you will need.

I think you meant water-methanol injection and not ethanol injection!

Has anyone put any thought about the new 5.0L Cummins v8 T.D going in the Nissan Titan XD and commercial vehicles?
310hp & 555ft lbs of torque.

While it looks like it will be a great engine I doubt anyone would want to install a Tier 4 diesel with all of the electronic nannies and emission system sensors and filters. Off road we need simple and reliable!

I think due to the 12valve being zero computer , it's a decent install,
Well I mean compared to computer type , ie duramax
