Make sure you get the correct pedal assembly. Pre 93 won't work. Don't ask me how I know.

Travis, you don't have to run a manual PCM or even have a chip tuned for a manual. As long as the wiring is correct it will operate like its supposed to. I'm running both that are still autos.

I'm pretty sure my pedals are out of a pre-'93 truck. They work fine. What about the pedals was not compatible?

To the OP, you can find all of the information about pretty much everything about the swap by reading through my pathetic struggle to get it done on my truck, lol. I'll get a link to that monster thread here in a second. Stand by...

Edit: Here you go. Click on the link to my thread here: Transmission Impossible

Nope. Completely different style. They will not bolt up. I have the set that didn't work in my shop.

And it doesn't romp on start up?? Does it accelerate when you let off the clutch at idle like a manual trans truck???

The only time it romps is if I start and immediately let out clutch and add fuel. Only then and it's not often at all. Not sure I follow on the second question. I can let out the clutch with no throttle and it'll take off.

Hmm... My pedals may be out of a newer truck, then. There's really no way for me to know for sure without asking Ian (plgebbia), if he remembers.

Pre '92 won't work. '92-'97 are the correct pedal assemblies. '91 and back have a cast aluminum pedal box and won't bolt up in our trucks.

Well there you have it. Stand corrected again. My apologies Joseph.

And of course the pre-92 pedals are a dime a dozen... They kinda wrap around the steering column while a post-92 is just a flat plate.

Not to thread jack but is it possible to swap bellhousings on these ZF5s or is it all a single cast piece

It's all one piece. The transmission just needs to be from a diesel. Even the ZF5 used on the IDI's would work, it just has a different bolt pattern than the gas engines used.

That's what I figured... But its good news to hear an IDI will work too. That means you can get one from 80-97, minus the pedals lol
