That's good. I have a 92 with an A518, but someone swapped the factory pump out for one that doesn't have a TPS... I am tired of dealing with it because I hate an auto. I even own a ford heavy F350 (late 04 model) with the 6.0 and a 6 speed. I bought the only one I have ever seen in person. Its a dog below 2300rpm but kicks above that. I hate a steering wheel holder truck. Plus, up til the commonrail cummins came out, they were built for a manual, power comes in low and holds level thru range. I am a jack of all trade diesel mechanic and this is my first cummins pickup. I got her for a song! Now trying to make it what I want...

 

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Would you mind sending me a pm with what the parts place charged for the pallet of conversion parts so I have an idea how much to expect?

Thanks in advance.

 

Awesome writeup! I've been thinking about doing this conversion too as I have no real reason to stay auto.

 

my question is i have a gatreg 5 sp with a 205 transfer case, and i am going to be putting in a NV4500 using the same 205 transfer case in. will my drive shafts work i have now out of my 93, or do i need a different length? (shortin or lengthing, front or back)?

 

They will need modified, just not sure how much exactly.

 

Ive heard that with the getrag to nv4500 conversions that you only have to modify the rear though I think. The front one's slip joint may have enough for that one but I don't know that.

 

Can anyone tell me why yu can't make a 1inch adapter instead of changing the engine adapter I'm putting a late model nv4500 in my 92 d250 auto trans. Has anyone done this. Any info thanks

 

Done some measuring and it more like 1 1/4. Thick adapter plate that needs to be made
