Anyone done a A518 to NV4500 swap in their cummins? im getting one in about 2 weeks and just looking for a good write up or some good info on the swap.

Also wandering, it doesn't have the clutch pedel and cable, where can I get that from? Also can I use the starter on my A518 or do I have to get one for the NV4500?(came off a 97' Cummins 2wd).

 

You need the adaptor plate (plate between the engine and tranny) and starter from the 2nd gen. You will need the clutch assembely and all related parts also from a 1st gen.

 

He say's its has everthing but the starter and the clutch pedel with the cable going to the tranny.

 

Make SURE it includes the adaptor plate, it is a totally different part then the bell housing, most tranny dont come with it.

 

I apoligize, I don't want to scew up this thread, But has anybody ever heard of these guys? I only found out about em cause, I was researching the swap.

Dodge A518/618 47/48 RH/RE "BadBoy" for CUMMINS

 

few things that pop out at me... Things that make me say stay away...



Don't see anyone towing 25,000lbs with that much power... You would need some HUGE (read laggy) turbos to keep that thing cool.

So which is it? 800hp is about 1600ft/lbs and 800 ft.lbs is about 400hp...'

The pre-94 trannys were not lock-up trannys...

I would stay away, they obviously do not know diesel trannys... Do it once, do it right. Go with a name brand proven builder.

 

That makes sence. They boast a pretty bad *** tranny and I have never heard of them before.

 

Ill get a picture of the tranny and everthing and see if it comes with adaptor plate and everthing I need. I do know i will need clutch pedel and clutch pedel ***.

So is everthing their or do I still need item's? I foud clutch pedel and hydro's for $100 shipped.

 

You will find all sorts of little things while doing it. But you have teh basics! Get a GOOD clutch while you are doing it. No point in pulling it out twice!

 

One thing I thought of, your auto has a flex plate that will not work with you new manual, you need a flywheel from the donor truck.
