    Ford Excursion or Other Newer SUV engin swaps

    I'm not sure what "reliability" you speak of in old trucks, they all have their issues, i think the best you can find is an early mechanical direct injection diesel motor with a manual transmission, but i don't know of many SUV's sold here with that combo. An old carb'd V8 automatic isn't my...

    1972 Series III 88"

    Is this mounted to the stock gearbox? I've contemplated this swap a number of times, but the steering turbo issue, and the fact that the stock tranny wasnt strong enough and the 5 speed was going to make it too long for such a short wheelbase, i always came to the conclusion to just buy an...

    My new Non-Expo or "Expo Light" DD!

    That truck has manual windows? It looks to be a bit more upgraded than a base model considering the alloys and what looks like power mirrors. Good luck with the truck, i recently sold my 96 2.3 5 speed longbed ranger, it was a good truck, i miss it.

    If GM made a DIESEL half-ton Silverado/Tahoe/Suburban, would you?...

    No cupholders suck, i have no problem with no A/C and manual locks and windows, and vinyl seats, but no cupholders gets annoying fast. Both the rover and Dodge have no cupholders!

    If GM made a DIESEL half-ton Silverado/Tahoe/Suburban, would you?...

    CNG is a bit different than Gasoline as you stated. I havent seen/noticed many CNG OTR trucks, most of the UPS trucks i see are 5.9 cummins with a handful being CNG but i also see them at their end of life recylcing, and those motors are in excellent condition for what they are when they are at...

    If GM made a DIESEL half-ton Silverado/Tahoe/Suburban, would you?...

    Ahh yes, maybe over the road truckers will go to gas motors too for their great fuel economy and durability. I know UPS has been using 5.9 cummins motors as diesel and with natural gas, and they still run plenty of diesels, this is the first im hearing they are switching to gas. I would...

    Cummins: Getrag vs NV4500

    200k, and I'm not sure, I really want a clean single cab w250 5 speed, but I may keep this a while. I think I made up my mind, probably gonna keep a getrag in it.

    Cummins: Getrag vs NV4500

    My truck is made at the end of march of 93, so there was only about 5 full months of production of first gens after mine so I doubt many would have came with them, i doubt any did but stranger things have happened. I feel it would be more likely that early 94s could have a getrag in them as...

    Cummins: Getrag vs NV4500

    It's just that the nv4500 is gonna be about $800-900 more out of pocket for me than getting a getrag, I'm just not sure that it is worth it for something that has a whole list of problems on its own, I've known a few to lose 5th gear, and have synchro problems. I only put like 2k miles on this...

    Cummins: Getrag vs NV4500

    Unfortanetley I was driving home from school tonight and i hear bang followed by a grinding in my 93 Cummins W250 4x4 5 Speed, and now i am in need of a new tranny. Should i get another Getrag or should move up to an NV4500? I know each have their issues, this getrag 3rd would grind if you didnt...
