You talking about me or the truck? lol

I just ordered the crossmember for a 89-93 12v swap. What transmission should I be looking to install? It's going to be my daily driver and used to tow my boat, not much more than that.

Do you want auto or manual?

I want an automatic. My mechanic wants to make this swap as simple as possible, he doesn't want to get into critical wiring, this being his first diesel swap. I'm overhelmed with all the info on these swap sights.

A518 auto from an early 90s Cummins truck.

47rh from a 1994 or 1995 dodge cummins is the way to go then. If you or your mechanic need info or help let me know and I'll help you out.

[rambone86]

thanks for the info guys. gonna start craiglisting for parts.

[JPalmer81]

x2 on the 47RH if you wanna go with an automatic with the overdrive.

HEY! I have a twin to that truck. I always thought it would look cool too. If you are interested,(assuming it has cab & chassis rearend) we widened the bed 5 inches, so when lowering time comes, the fenders will clear nicely. and it does not look to altered. if I can figure out how to do the picture thing, I will post. anyway your truck will and does look cool !! keep posting updates please!

[JPalmer81]

[Dieselwrencher]

Rides like a one ton truck with 75 PSI inflated load range F tires on it. Didn't ride that bad before, but the ****ty ****ty ****ty tires on it before were under-inflated. I'll report back when i get some more miles on it.

Those are different!
I'm guessing tire selection is very limited?
Do you have any pics without the hub caps on the wheels?

Are you looking for dual or single wheel?

[Stew_Magoo]

The wheels are home made, they started life as dually wheels. They look like regular eight lug steel wheels under the hub caps because the centers of the wheels came from a set of Dodge wheels. The tires are 8R19.5's, not sure of the range of tires available in that size. I've been told this set up is amazing in the snow, so I may pick up some 16's with big tires for the summer and just run these in the winter.

I don't know how bad you want them or how hard they are to find but, I'm fairly certain I saw a set of 6 or 7 on st Louis craigslist with brand new tires. I know it's a long way from you but might be worth looking at?
