1963 Dodge M37B1, "BUDD"

Service performed:

It has been an exciting project from the start with an early decision to go with a Cummins Diesel QSB4 all electronic engine.

We gave him a choice of the older 4BTA Cummins or the newer all electronic QSB engine. This was the first all electronic Cummins we had installed into a military application. I must say I have been impressed by the electronic Cummins every step of the way.

Looking back now that it’s finished, it’s the sort of thing that makes me wonder why we weren’t using all electronic engines long before now. The 4BTA engine we have used for years is no longer offered as a new engine by Cummins as of January 2010, they no longer meet current EPA guidelines, so in order to install a brand new engine, we were forced to change over to the all electronic EPA compliant versions. It is becoming more popular as our next major project, a 1956 civilian Dodge Power Wagon will be getting the same engine upgrade.
