what on earth could be wrong with an NV4500 with 200k miles? clutch would be the only thing I could think of that would go out on a manual tranny..... :humm:

5th gear tends to go out on the 4500's especially when the PO torques it hard in OD.

the trans is brand new the guy who had it before this guy replaced it before he sold it and this guy drove it for like a year and then parked it cause he bought a 04 cummins

yeah im not trying to knock the truck. I honestly would love a 12v cummins, just making sure the OP is aware of what to look out for.

i appreciate the input from you all what are easy mods for pwer for cheap

the 12v is super cheep to tune. First off you NEED gauges before playing with a 12v, the motor is all mechanical so there is no computer to shut you down when it gets too hot. then fix the killer dowel pin. now your ready to tune... start with a 4 or 5" exhaust, a BHAF, drill out a elbow for the waste-gate. Then pull off the AFC housing, grind down your fuel plate or buy a higher performance one, put in a new governor spring (3k or 4k), and then adjust the AFC housing. and there you have it... now you have a healthy running 12v for the same price or less than what some pay for a programmer.

cool thanks for the info this guy im buying the truck from wont answer his damn phone starting to irritate me!!!

I wanna know who told you the cummins is just getting broken in at 200k, that's absolutely ridiculous, it's closer to being broken than broken in

i have plenty of friends rockin thers at 200k with not a problem

Well yeah but thats hardly a major fix..... an auto would have much more extensive problems at that mileage.

well if you drive your truck the way that's displayed in your sig, I wouldn't doubt it dude :humm:
