I posted in my build thread, I haven't had any traffic toward finding an answer. I thought the transmission forum may provide more information.......my build thread's for reference.

I need to make a educated transmission selection to bolt onto my donor 95' Powerstroke motor. I intend to use the truck for fire wood operations. The truck will also need to power a hydraulics for two winches, dump bed, and knuckle boom. The transmission will need to provide PTO power to the main hydraulic pump.

The road systems I'll be encountering are steep and windy. I doubt this truck will ever see freeway operation. I expect top speeds to be 55.

I have a bell housing for a 6.9L <acronym title="Indirect Injection">IDI</acronym> in the shed. I also have a Brown Lipe 18% three speed auxiliary transmission in the shed. I think I want to run a T19 transmission for a 6.9L <acronym title="Indirect Injection">IDI</acronym> truck in front of the Brown Lipe and the full time transfer case behind everything. I want this to work because 18% under drive will be very handy for pulling the hills and mountains to my wood cutting spots. The underdrive and Tcase low will be very handy in tight spots one frequently finds themselves in when venturing down forest roads. the Will the <acronym title="Indirect Injection">IDI</acronym> bell housing and the T19 work behind the Powerstroke motor?

The other option I have is a F-Superduty <acronym title="ZF 5 speed manual transmission">ZF5</acronym>. I have one of these in the shed as well. With the length of the <acronym title="ZF 5 speed manual transmission">ZF5</acronym> I will not be able to run my brownie box.

Any comments?

 

<p>The combination would be good with the ratio spread of the t-19. However the idi (7.3 or 6.9) bell is not the same as the 94.5-03 diesel pattern. Also you would want the T-19 that was behind the diesel. The gas version and the diesel version have different ratios and I'm pretty sure the input shafts are different. That said, your donor motor has a different pattern than the idi and wont bolt up</p>

It would be good to have the under drive, but the ZF-5 is the far more easier option. You could look for a ZF-6. That would bolt up and give you a super low gear below first.
