I wonder if you could find a good deal on a used gear vendors overdrive for that ford Dually? It might be less hassle than a manual trans swap??
So I don't need to bring a truck...Just Uber to your place, buy your truck, and we'll load 'er up with parts! But only if it's a 5-sp. (I see now its an auto - so much for that grand plan). I don't think six speeds came out until y2k? I bought my 96 SRW 5-sp. 12 valve Cummins new, then a leftover 99 dually 24V auto. that I got a great deal on, but Didn't like the auto. What the heck are you supposed to do? Just sit there? I was bored and it never seemed to know what gear it wanted to be in. It was fast though (4.10's). I hear the new Aisin is awesome. Didn't put a dime down & Sold it a year later for the loan balance & bought a 92 F-250 7.3 5-sp which I still own (286k mi) & love driving, but had a few other Dodges in between too. I have a feeling the trans. in my Ford may be starting to go, but I don't feel it owes me anything. Do you go on TDR's site or subscribe? I know them reasonably well and we used to advertise in the magazine. (Sorry, don't mean to hijack the OP's thread)
RV salvage or big truck is where ya snag an overdrive..easy to get for under a grand..at least for a c6...i never tried to find one for a manual trans.. always one on ebay
