engine info/history assitance
hello all,
first of i'd like to say greetings, and hopefully this will be the first of many beneficial posts for everyone.
I am currently working on a brief history of the domestic manufacturers
diesel light duty-heavy duty pickups 1978-current models, 1/2-1.75 ton(f550/gm 5500/dodge 5500), including, chassis,diffs,tcases,trannies,cabs and spec packages. i have found very little info
regarding these on the net and the books and other publications that I have are limited in regards to these specs.
what i am currently searching for however, is information pertaining to the in-direct injected diesels from 1978-1992 5.7 gm/6.2 gm and naturally aspirated 6.5 gm( i have enough info on the 6.5turbo) as well as the 6.9/7.3na and 7.3 turbo navistar/ford engines and transmissions behind these engines as well as the differentials and transfer cases.
thank you very much. more to come...............

In the fords you had three transmission options, from the beginning you had a 5speed manual (forget what make the early ones were), or a C6 Ford automatic. After 1989 you had three choices, a ZF 5 speed, a C6 3 speed auto or an all new E4OD Ford automatic overdrive. Rear ends were either a ford 10.25" or a Dana 60 (F250/350 SRW), or a dana 70 (F350 DRW). Ratios were 3.55, 3.73, or 4.10.
