Zf-6
Hey guys, I was hoping someone could confirm that a zf-6 from an 01' superduty 7.3L powerstroke will bolt up to the IDI block.
If it does I am getting a complete powertrain from tranny to xfercase and driveshafts. I will make sure to post a thread on the install with tons of pictures.

I am getting the transfer case with the zf6. It is a manual shift xfer case too so there is no dicking around with electronics.
I will be taking off the cab and fabricating all new mounting brackets and crossmembers to make it work like it should. I don't imagine it being very difficult as long as it bolts up to the IDI.
The guy i'm purchasing it from will have it pulled out late next week. I will make sure that I take tons of pictures and make lots of posts here.

And for the speedo problem I will just order an Autometer electronic speedometer or just continue to drive off the tach...like i've done since I got the truck.

The only problem you are gonna have is NO speedo, your truck has the speedo in the tranny (I think, I've never worked on a 4x4 in one of these trucks), but the 99+ have the speedo sensor in the rearend.
I say just get a GPS system and they'll tell you your speed, or you can be like me and just learn the RPMs vs speed.

wow, never had a thread before that got so many hits in 5 minutes!! The speedometer is the last of my worries, do any of us actually use it anyway??
My truck doesn't have a working speedometer in it right now anyways, never has since i've owned it. I drive off the tach and sound of the engine...
I'm in the middle of a D60 swap with F350 springs right now and just ordered all new gauges....this old truck is getting a lot of new cool parts.
