  1. Do one at a time otherwise you will fight them back in if the axle pivots ect. Soak up the bolts pretty good with penetrating oil as they can be a bearcat to get loose and out some times have a torch handy to heat them if they are stuborn. If you have acess to 90 degree grease zerks get them as it is a pain to grease them with the straights they come with "I have a set of these on my 02, thats why I know these things" I have to grease mine with a 90 degree jerk adapter which is a pain.

    :hyper:I did my conversion a little different as far as brackets etc. I could'nt get the dodge master cylinder to work so bought a new one for a class 8 volvo(made a adapter bracket for it also. I 've got pic's of brackets if you want them,as well as part #'s for the master cyl.,starter. I cut this shift lever off the 8406 shift tower and brazed the curved section of the NV5600 tower to it so i could use my original stick. --- Update to the previous post... When you get the bell housing you'll see what he's showing, when you push in the clutch it physically pulls the the pressure plate back from the flywheel vs the throw-out bearing pushing on the fingers to draw the pressure plate back ,the throw-out bearing is part of the clutch assy. not separate.

    Original went 388k snapped main shaft,the reman had the bearing in the rear case seize up,yea thought i'd get more miles on the Reman since i was babying it.And it went out in CA,had to give up my load,7 days lost revenue(motel,meals and booze & $4500) wish it would have lasted just 2800 more miles!

    And you think 188k miles is a bad thing????????????? 99.999% of people would be tickled to get that out of any tranny new or used.

    I'd get on the internet and search used medium/heavy duty salvage yards that's how i found my tranny/sae#2 adapter,bell housing,slave cyl. Also check E-Bay Never had Blumenthals ever work on my NV5600 ,have just bought parts from them and know they are a New Venture Auth Reman. First NV5600 had ITP in Salina tore it apart,they did'nt have a Reman in their system they had to get from a Reman Facility in Portland,OR and tacked an extra $1000 on their cost to me.So i'd also keep an eye on ITP or any one you deal with.Can't remember the name of the place in Portland(thier Reman only lasted 188k)but they did buy 2 NV5600 cores from me for $750 a piece. --- Update to the previous post... Go to www.HeavyTruckParts.Net there are several SAE#2 Flywheel housing's for $300(Kadinger's Heavy Duty TruckS & Parts inc. 715-643-4212)

    That is where we put it, drilled a hole and installed them in the cover, if they didn't want to spring for a fast cooler. The fast coolers Have a temp sensor port IIRC. We sold and installed lots of those along with the gauges also, the more capacity the better on these things. Pulling heavy in direct drive is the best, its when you are pulling in OD aka 6th gear is when they get hot fast.
  8. Get a chunk of 1/8 Air Line (Polyon) from NAPA for cheap... It rated to 200 PSI typically extremely flexible... I bought 10 feet and 2 ferules for $6 bucks...
