first cummins project
Hey guys new to this forum and figured this would be a good place to get help with my build.... Im taking a 96' cummins out of a bus and putting it in my 2000 chevy k3500 with a VN4500. right now the truck has a 7.4 vortec in it with an automatic trans in it, and I plan on keeping the pcm in it to make all the factory guages work properly. But the point of this post is I have a few questions.
Where and how is the the tach out put hooked up for RPM reading.
Anyone running a 4:10 gear behind there nv4500 hopping it doesnt make first gear useless unless your pulling a house down and what kind of rpm are you seeing running in the 60-65 mph range.
Also I will be either setting the engine up or doing it all at once but I'm looking to make as much power as I can while the truck still gets the best fuel economy and can still pull a trailer with out running my egt's through the roof with a heavy load.
Any help with these questions or any more in the future are greatly appreciated!
