    Cummins R2.8 Turbo Diesel

    That sounds like a great program. The Ashcroft is outstanding. Because we plan on more deep forest exploration, we opted for the Tremec TR4050 and a serpentine drive + the Cummins on our D90. We have the opportunity to break the whole thing down and take our time on each component...

    Cummins R2.8 Turbo Diesel

    Forgive me if I’m addressing a topic already covered elsewhere, but I couldn’t find much on the subject. Anyone have experience with this engine? I’d be interested in how well it has performed across the board (for example, I hear the torque is legendary, but has it helped get you out of a...

    Hi, everyone! Kevin here. I have an '85 Defender 90 which is in full-blown restore mode right now. I've decided to leave it RHD because I'm a lefty and it just feels natural. But don't ask me to drive the back roads of Ireland any time soon. Those guys are pros! I live in the Leesburg, VA...
