- In a world where one man likes to work in his garage, we present to you.... Fun King Garage!
This series walks though doing an engine swap in a 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty. We are removing the 6.4L Powerstroke and replacing it with a 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel out of a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500.
In this episode we prep the Cummins for the addition of a Fleece coolant bypass (and make a few modifications to clear the adapter plate.) Then we get to FINALLY install the Cummins into the Ford frame rails!
Fleece Coolant Bypass: amzn.to/3P8wdSX
Come along for the ride and check out our progress.

Glenn, I have to say that you're doing great with this. I enjoy each episode and look forward to the next. Sean's camera work is outstanding and I really like the transition of you under the truck then continue the camera pan up and your working up top. Seems you guys make a great team together. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks for that! Unfortunately, I no longer have him here. He has moved on to other adventures. I am sure as the channel grows, so will the opportunity to acquire a new camera person.
Awesome progress this week!
This was a GREAT step in the project. I can only imagine how it will be when I finally get to drive it. ;)
Yes! Welcome, Cummins, to your new home!
It was truly an amazing feeling when that thing mated to the transmission for sure!
Great video. Glad to see it coming together
One of my all time favorite projects that I have had the opportunity to do!
Fummins? Where have I seen this before, oh yes Westen
Fummins is a term used for this. There are Fummins groups on Facebook. 😉
Working by yourself isn’t easy keep it up bro
I really appreciate that! I end up working alone most of the time (built my house 99% by myself) so I find ways to do things. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Thanks for watching.
@@FunKingGarage same here! People don’t know unless they know!
Very true! Well, you make sure you push on as well!
Love your videos.
17:50 Did you have to adjust the center transmission mounting bolts too or just the ones on the frame? Thanks in advance.
Thank you!
Only had to move the cross member back. I let that dictate where the engine would sit. My process was to let it sit there and adjust if needed, but it worked out perfect in that spot.
Where do you buy the whole kit from you do the swap from a 2008 Ford 350 diesel to a Cummins just need a little information please
Full disclaimer: There is no "WHOLE" kit to do this swap. You will have to piece some stuff together and you WILL have to fabricate. With that said, I went with the comprehensive kit from Diesel Conversion Specialists. There kit seemed to be the best setup and I also used their rewire service. There are other options out there if you wish to piece the kit together yourself. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Hi, i need install a cummins 5.9 to 2008 f-550 6 speed, it is posibility?
As long as there is an adapter plate, there should be no issues. Check with Diesel Conversion Specialists and see what they have available. You can also check in the Fummins Tech facebook group and look for Mike Fuchs. He makes adapters as well. But it has absolutely been done with manual transmissions.
