You Bet!!!

couldnt pass up the opportunity to pull the cummins with the 7.3 lol

 

And, I bet you stayed ahead of that Dodge all the way home!

 

The 7.3 sure knew it was back there to especially on these back road Hills. It did fine for a lifted stock auto truck though. I know most don't care about this build since I'm putting a Cummins in it. For those that do here are some more pics of the donor. Its a 99 24V NV4500 truck with 168k miles.

 

looking good!

gonna be a great donor, and good deal on it too!

 

Got the NV4500 out today. Inside wasn't as bad as I was thinking but the dam case is cracked from the idiots cutting corners putting it together last time they "fixed" it.



Input shaft bearing was gone.
Well I pulled the rest of the trans apart. I fought 5th gear for over and your to get that dang thing off. Everything else looked great inside the transmission though. I'm pretty sure this had a 241DLD behind it. Does anyone know if the input shafts are interchangeable from the 241DLD and the 241DHD? I have that 241DHD behind the 47rh that will accept a speed sensor. I'd like to use it since my 10.25 rear doesn't have one.

 

Removed the broken bolts from the bell housing today. I also cleaned, sand blasted and painted it and the tail housing.




I made a little progress on the donor today.

 

Blasted and painted trans case. My rebuild kit minus my shim set showed up today. I also have everything loose on the engine except motor mounts so its ready to come out.

 

lots work in one day Andy!

 

What can I say. Lol

 

Another day, another mess. Pulled cab and steam cleaned everything today including the Ford frame.






Also got my tools and shims so time to build the NV4500

 

Next is to put the trans together and make engine mounts.

 

looking good!!!

 

any updates??
really liking the re power I've never done a 24v only 12s so its a little interesting knowing the motor is longer just wanting to see how it fits

 

The last parts for my transmission came in last week. The 24V is the same length as the 12V so figment should not be an issue. I also swapped tail shafts on my transfer case to give me a speed sensor. I pulled the seats out cleaned them up as well. I'm back to working 70+ hours a week so not much time to work on it.

 

were all waiting for something decent to happen for progress on tis project andy
