im new to this website and so far i like it but what my question is ..... can anyone tell what it would take to swap my v-10 out for a 12v 5.9 cummins? ive been wanting one for the longest time and im tired of being a spectator. i want to be the one behind the wheel. if someone could tell me what it would take to make it happen that would be great.

 

what tranny ya runnin

what year truck?

 

its a 94 with a five speed manual

 

the 5 speed will be the NV4500 but I am wonnerin if the shaft will be the same size??

 

that is what i am wondering...people have told me it will be the same size and others say it wont

 

NV4500HD models are used with Cummins Diesel & V10. NV4500LD models are used for all other applications.


check to confirm what ya have

 

Dodge HD Input Shaft................................1 1/4" 10 spline with .750" pilot tip diameter
Dodge LD Input Shaft................................1 1/8" 10 spline with .750" pilot tip diameter
GM Input Shaft...........................................1 1/8" 10 spline with .590" pilot tip diameter

 

that helps alot thanx. could u tell me if i had to change the motor mounts

 

you will most likely need the motor mounts too going from a v8 to a straight 6 I am sure of it

 

well it a v-10 motor thats in it but i would prboably still have to change it huh
