Just got it all done basically, everything worked right without reflash, except honking when doors open, southbend dd shifts awesome, still need interior console(s) but its in the mail and a shift ****(my b&m t-handle is sae, threads metric) airdogs hooked up as well next exhaust turbo injectors headstuds, looks like a brand new truck

 

good to hear man enjoy its great to know your trans aint gonna slip and fail

 

Good to hear!
So after a reflash, you will be able to start the truck with a key instead of a button right?
And do you have any pictures of the swap?

 

Just some of the trannys moving in and out and t case going back up, nothing to specific, I didn't realize how easy this would be, once you get the g56 and t case with drivelines in, its a breeze from there, I owe a lot of thanks to Tim Mckenzie at Diesel Xtreme in billings montana

Also I never needed a button for it, it start fine and dangerously without anything special, now that the neutral safety switch is hooked up you need clutch in to start it

 

Ok so you were able to bolt the 56 straight top the 48re tranny adapter?
No need for a g56 adapter? And where you able to use the same starter?

 

Ya, cummins adapters are all the same really, we used a 2009 g56 that was connected to a 6.7, it bolted up no problem, starters the same too

 

Good info, also did you end up switching the steering column or just the column covers?
If you switched the whole column, do that mean that you had to use a different ignition key, or can you put your old ignition on the new column?
And just wondering, where did you get all your parts from?

 

No we didn't switch columns, it was more work then it was worth, we switch covers though, pedals and cover came from a wreck 06 mega cab tim had in the lot, clutch and hydralics were all with the southbend dd, tranny came from spokane, order t case shaft and only lengthened rear driveline, interior pieces we ordered from our dodge dealer, connected the number 3 and 5 wires from the 5 pin auto tranny plug to neutral safety switch, hardest part so far is try to sell the auto stuff

 

Do i need an engine adapter to from to go from the 48re to g56?
Or can I use the one I have?
What about the starter, can i use my original?

 

Starter and adapter are the same, you can use the ones you already have
