Yeah, that's what I picked up, a donor truck. It's a '95 Cummins, 4x4 with an auto.

I really wanted an entire rig so I can scavenge as much stuff as possible off of it.

Get a chance to snap some pics of your auto shifting linkage & transfer case shifter & linkage?

Yes I believe it is but I think overdrive and torque converter is pressure regulated. I wired my t\c and o\d up on toggle switchs.

The previous owner of my donor rig wired in a TC lockup switch. I really like it, works well when you're cruising in either OD or 3rd. When I was first driving it I almost killed the motor cause I left the TC lockup switch on.... Won't do that again

Thanks again for the pics.
