Perkins Diesel Conversion
i recently spotted a F250 supercab 4x4 that has had a Pekins 6-354 swapped in with a NV-4500 five speed. The challenge appears fly is that with 4.10 gears the truck is not real highway worthy since the perkins is a low RPM diesel. 2800rpm max. But has gobs of low end grunt.
My my question has anyone else runs across these personally and what was the owners take? I have found a few on You Tube and they all rave about the lowend torque. But I don't know what gears they are running.
Thanks!!
