Hi, i have '05 columbia with 14.0l detroit in it, i`m looking at eather buying glider or buying pre 2000 12.7 detroit engine and installing it in columbia. I have not done anything like this before, so i was wondering if someone had a shopping list of what is needed for the job, and how difficult of a job is it(not going to do it myself) thx
12.7 into 2005 columbia

Perty much a compleat bolt in.
Only thing is you'll need an adapter to go from ddec 5 to ddec 4 on the truck side wiring harness. Someone like mahk ind can make that up .The_Great_Corn and ColumbiaBoB Thank this. -
If you're doing this to get around E-logs, it won't work. As soon as you show the DOT officer that you have a pre-2000 engine in a '05 that isn't a glider, you'll get the e-log ticket and you'll be slapped with a fine for tampering with the emissions plus you'll have to add the EGR or lose your plates. It's not like a delete where it might be hard for them to prove. You're flat out telling them you've put a non-emissions engine in a truck that legally requires them. It'll be pretty open and shut in court.

Never heard of it .... My friend currently swapping acert in his 387 Pete with 6nz to avoid elog . .I have 1999 kw with swapped acert instead of n14 ...theoret theore I need elog but I doubt dot will ever check on that due to the truck being 99

You never head of it so I guess it's not law then.

i believe we live in a free country ...so i can put whatever engine i think works best for me as well as using any road i think is best for my route (when going around weigh station)

That's not how it works. You should try reading a book once in a while

will follow your advice one day .
