The gas version of the T 19 has a 5.72 low gear ratio that is non syncro, the diesel version has a 4.02 low gear ratio and is syncro.
From what I remember the 435 had a granny first that was non syncro. Everyone drove them like a three speed because it was hard to get it in and out of first gear.
I run 3.55 gears in mine and pull a lot of weight, so I got in the habbit of always using first gear to take off, even when I am empty. Saves the clutch for when I really need it.
If you run 3.55's the non syncro first gear may be an aggravation with the 435 but that is all I really see as far as problems go as long as it bolts up to the diesel bell housing.
I have also seen a few diesels that had the gasser T 19 in them with the granny first gear. That would not be a combination I would like to drive when I was loaded real heavy here in the mountains, I use first gear a lot pulling some of the side streets in town.
All I can really say about the T 19 is it is bulletproof. I have broken just about every part on my driveline at one time or another. The T 19 and the Sterling 10.25" rear axle are still fine.
The Dana 44, the original BW 1345 transfer case, both drive shafts, and numerous U joints are all long gone to truck heaven.
