and Canadian laws and regulations related to motor vehicle emissions. Installation of this part in a vehicle for which it is not intended may violate U.S. However, the suitability of the R2.8 engine to any vehicle is the responsibility of the installer and may depend on state or area laws. This means that the R2.8 generally is suitable for Model Year 1999 or earlier light duty trucks. In California it’s only approved for pre-1976. But the company is not ruling out additional models, including those with the more advanced emissions controls, in the future.Īccording to Cummins, “R2.8 Turbo Diesel has demonstrated through the testing procedures prescribed in 40 CFR Part 86 to meet EPA’s Tier 0 (LDT 1 and 2) and Tier 1 emissions standards (LDT 2 weighing less than 4000 lb complete weight). The company’s proof supplied the engine to 25 customer builders to do installs in a variety of trucks, Jeep and other vehicle platforms, Hornung says.Įmissions regulations allow you to put the Cummins 2.8-liter crate diesel in 1999 and older gasoline powered vehicles. Cummins had two installed in its booth: one in a vintage jeep, the other in a 1980s era Toyota pickup. The engine is compact at 28.3 inches high, 25 inches wide and 25.1 inches deep.

The components you supply are the engine mounts, transmission and transmission adapter and whatever cooling package you want to use. There is also a location where you can mount an AC compressor if you choose to go that route. Cummins also throws in the engine’s ECM, a wiring harness, throttle pedal, and digital gauges for things like coolant temperature and oil pressure. The engine comes with a power steering pump, water pump and alternator already mounted on the engine, a remote oil filter (for maximum front axle clearance) and remote fuel filter. In the crate, you’ll find about 70 to 80 percent of what you need for the complete install, says Mark Hornung, product manager. of torque with a high pressure common rail fuel system, cooled EGR/DOC for emissions (no SCR, you’ll be pleased to note), and a Holset waste-gated turbocharger.
