I have a B&M shifter in mine. But for now I just ran a wire from the crank signal wire for the neutral safety to the small stud on the starter. With no neutral safety, i can start it in any gear. I plan to eventually get off my *** and hook up the neutral safety and reverse switchs that are on the B&M shifter. I cant look now but during the day i can look what color wire i tied into up at the firewall for the factory neutral harness

It just looks so small compared to normal diesel radiators. Also did you end up running a transmission cooler or did you use the factory one on the side of the engine

I have used the regular radiator thats in the truck. It's more than adequate to keep that cummins cool since they run a lower temperature. All I did was flip my fan shroud upside down and cut a notch in it to clear the oil fill tube on the front of the timing cover. It was like it was made for the engine. I have used the factory cooler on the engine, coming out of that into the radiator,and then out of that into an aftermarket cooler then back to the transmission. Figured running 40s and on the pedal like i am,all the cooling helps. So far it works great. If I could figure out how to post pics from my phone it would help. Ive been busy with work and all,so ill try to reply back as soon as i can.
