Transmission Swap
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).

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.
We had a customer that was making 6-700hp out of a Cummins, Towed a 25,000 lb trailer
Power Capacity: 800 ft-lbs of torque, 800 HP
The earliest version of the RH trans did not have a lockup converter In 94 a lockup converter was introduced tote RH
