Topic: 2.8l cummins

[brett83]

Hey yall,
 been kicking around the idea of putting a 2.8l Cummins into my 83 straight axle. Or do I put a supercharger on the 22r? thought ideas?

I heard a rumor that the R2.8 cummins was not up to the Cummins brand. Anyone else have input?

What do you mean not up to the cummins brand?

i read that the 2.8 block is machined in china and assembled in usa.

I  had a gander a a hire generator 2 weeks ago and it was a 4 cylinder chinese cummins  engine

The V8 in the Titan was Chinese.

Ive also seen 6BT with CHYNA written all over them. Look for the ones with INDYA written on them, they get you 50 extra points.

From the video ive seen of the 2.8 sounds like a bag of nails, loads of diesel knock, and not one iota of NVH control.
