2008-2010 Ford 6.4 Cummins Swap
The 2008 to 2010 Ford 6.4L Power Stroke is the engine that motivated some of the most aggressive Cummins swaps on the market. Twin turbo failures, DPF regeneration problems, and aftertreatment costs have driven many owners to convert.
Most Popular Kit for This Truck
The CR Cummins to 08-10 Ford 6.4 5R110 Kit is the go-to for this platform. Complete kit with adapter plate, motor mounts, AC/alt bracket, flexplate, and hardware.

Why Swap?
- The 6.4 has expensive emissions equipment (DPF, EGR, SCR) that fails over time.
- Twin turbos are a known wear item; replacement is expensive.
- The 6.7L Cummins from a 2007.5+ Ram is a near-direct power match without the complexity.
- 2008-2010 Super Duty trucks have great cabs, frames, and interiors. They deserve a reliable engine.
Engine Choices
For 2008 to 2010 trucks, the 6.7L Common Rail Cummins is the most popular choice. It matches the era electronically and makes similar factory power. The 5.9L CR also works and is cheaper to source. 12V and 24V swaps are less common in this generation because of the truck's CAN bus complexity.
Transmission Options
- 5R110 TorqShift automatic — factory 5-speed auto. Our kit handles the adapter and flexplate.
- ZF6 manual — uncommon factory option; strong choice for built engines.
- Aftermarket swap — NV5600 or built 5R110.
What You'll Need
- Adapter plate (CR Cummins to ZF6 or 5R110).
- Billet flywheel or flexplate.
- 08-15 Super Duty motor mounts.
- AC/alternator bracket using factory 6.4 components.
- Throttle pedal adapter.
- Full wiring solution (this is the most complex part of a 6.4 swap).
Heads Up
The 6.4 swap is the most involved of any Ford-to-Cummins conversion because of the CAN bus integration. We strongly recommend calling us at (612) 801-4388 before ordering so we can walk you through everything you will need.
