2005 F-250 converted with 12 valve Cummins 6BT
 
Well, I converted it and loved driving it. Was needing the TPS and Power steering pump to finish it. Well I guess the Cummins was too much for the Ford Tranny. I am either going to sell it or swap to the 6 speed manual tranny. Any ideas? I bought the adapter plates from Destroked.com and the PCS tranny controller. I was forced to drive it before I was completely finished with it. It's an Extended cab 4x4 nice looking truck. I am considering selling the whole thing for $6500 or selling the motor and adapter plates and buying a salvage Dodge and do a complete motor tranny and t-case swap. I am on my own with this one, most of the mechanics around here are either way too expensive or are less than excellent at their jobs. So I am kind of at my wits end

If I were you, Id go with the 6-speed tranny and keep that beast. Any pics?? Ya got the best of both worlds there IMO. Address the tranny issue and youre good to go.
Now, go forth and shred asphalt grasshopper.............:rocking:

That's what I want to do!! Main prob is, I just bought these adapter plates and controller for the tranny I have tied up $3k in just that and hate to trash them. But I don't know if I could sell them either. Kind of a specific market for this stuff and I burned my bridge with the local hot rod diesel shop when I called him an idiot and told him to go back to working on Tonka Toys!!

Whoops!! Been there, done that! I dont tolerate incompetence very well, and Im quite vocal about it.:ouch: I can certainly relate bro. Try ebay or craigslist or this site. Ya might get a bite. Got any pics of that beast! You have what Id like to put together.

I do have pics. But I am on my phone. I could take some and text them to you. PM me your number. I would take $6500 for the Truck the way it sits. Somebody could fix the tranny and finish the rest of it and have the build complete for $10k easy. 662-216-0871 is my number. The truck is in excellent shape. I swear it is not a beater at all!!!
