Ah ok roger that. Thanks for the reply isx, and the pictures moparman. I think I will just have an accidental leak and buy the gauges to refill it and the yellow jacket pump to vac it out real good. Thanks!!

Pulling my motor, need to unhook the condensor so that I can come straight forward with my motor, minus the oil pan. Can't lay the condensor to the side because the bottom line is hard all the way past the air filter box, can't bend that stuff... So it needs to come off and to get it off I need to evacuate the r134 charge without freezing my skin, frostbite, maming myself, and etc... Any good methods?

I would love to see anything you could dig up!! Pictures would rock! I am seriously going to do this, and detail it with pictures and step by step details for the average guy to be able to do. --- Update to the previous post... Also, one other concern I have is the driveline. The dodge has a splined, slip yoke as you know that slides into the back of the nv5600. I am wondering, i guess it would depend on which tranny you used, what you did about putting a new yoke on the dodge driveshaft?? And what kind exactly?? You used an FSO8406 correct? That would mean it is an overdrive tranny if I understand correctly?? So pretty close to the .73 or whatever of the nv5600?? I LOVE my rpms in 6th OD with the nv5600 because of my 3.55 rear. I want a eaton tranny that has a similar 6 th gear ratio. And is the FSO 8406 synchronized? I could live without them really, just something that would wear out I guess but it would be kinda nice to keep it easy to drive. --- Update to the previous post... OK. Think I have this sorted out for the most part.... Eaton Fuller Transmissions FS= Fuller Synchronized FSO=Fuller Synchronized Overdrive FO=Fuller, Overdrive 17 models is all I think they made or make....... F-6406A-ASW FS-5106A FS-5306A FS-5406A FSB-5406B FS-6206A FS-6306A FS-6406A FSB-6406B FO-6406A-ASX FO-8406A-ASX FO-6406A-ASW FSO-6406A FSO-8406A FS-7206A FS-8206A FS-8306A All of these can be outfitted with either SAE 1, 2, or 3 clutch housings. LARGE TO SMALL (I think) You can get a SAE 1 or SAE 2 Engine Adapter which is made by Cummins for this motor which is available on many different applications like in Freightliner trucks, busses, and Ford f650 750, and it will mate up to the SAE 1 or SAE 2 bell housing that bolts onto the Eaton Fuller tranny. Correct me if I am wrong....

Yup, that is actually 100% the situation. Very good guesser you are! They pay for more than everything he needs, gave him land, paid to have a house built as well as a 60x 120 x 16 shop building full of toys, bought him the truck brand new in 05 our junior year of high school. Makes me sick, I can't keep my stuff running and I drive like a grandma. It was really a nice truck for about 3 or 4 months before he just absolutely annihilated the drivetrain. I can't count how many times they have rebuilt and replaced the 48re. He stacks pressure boxes and wonders why he has been through 3 sets of injectors in 130,000 miles and melted pistons a couple times. It is on engine number 3!!!!! If you rode with him you wouldn't believe a person would treat a vehicle like he does. It is foot to the firewall black smoke rolling everywhere he goes. He does brake stands and neutral drops for fun at stoplights. LOVES to "show off" how cool he is by driving fast and treating it like a pile of junk then moans and complains when it breaks.

Awesome. I will be doing this. Little confused about the clutch disengage mechanism he details.... Hopefully I can just find a freightliner fl70 fl 80 with an isb cummins and just scavenge everything from starter to clutch and actuator to the pedal bracket.

You not like that snap on I linked for you at least a couple times now? Here is another. Mityvac kit for all kinds of engines. http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/p-3792-mityvac-mv5535.aspx another? http://www.ntxtools.com/network-tool-warehouse/STR-TU-15-26-p-STR0201.html

Thank you much!!! I SOOO want to do this. $750 bucks for this hunk, I hope so!!! I would give it up gladly for that, and pay 2500 or 3000 to put a midrange eaton behind this thing!

Excellent. So would an s300 be a direct replacement?? Or would he need to change manifolds or downpipes??

Excellent info again. I will pass that along and find out what he wants to do. I suspect he will not alter his driving habits... He has already shelled a couple transmissions and various other expensive parts of the engine and drivetrain. He is on a mission to destroy it when he drives it

Need some help. My friend has gone through 2 stock turbos on his 05, he has a leadfoot and barks the turbo all the time. Both failures have been the shaft shearing from barking it. So what would be a good replacement turbo for a an entirely stock truck with maybe an edge juice plug in module for power adder?? Need to order tonight, so any help would be great!

Cool that is great info man. I don't do too much, pretty close to GCWR though.... 32 ft dual tandem and about 400 square bales of hay..... Probably exceeding it more than I should more often than I should.....

Awesome, I will look them up for sure!!! I am about an hour from Oklahoma City!

Also, watch out for blumenthals..... I have dealt with them in the past with class 8 stuff, they will bend you over if you don't know what is going on. They tried to trick me the last time I ever went in there. Had a super 10 eaton out of a peterbilt, had some issue with the range shift, sent it there and I knew what it was, but I told the guy I didn't. Just said it broke, needs fixed. So when I went in there to find out from them exactly what the damage was going to be, they came out from the shop with a big box full of chewed-up gears and said they are going to have to put several new gears and blah blah in this thing. Well I knew the gears they showed me didn't come out of a super 10 so I called them on it and said I want to see my tranny right now. The guy said he would be right back he had to go find out where they put the tranny and blah blah the guy who works on them was gone for lunch, so I waited for a while then after I got sick of waiting and went out myself and found my tranny sitting on the bench, no chewed up gears in it at all like I thought. Anyway, I told the guy I wanted my tranny back on the pallet asap and in the back of my truck i'm going elsewhere. Rant over hahaha. --- Update to the previous post... Sorry boss, no neglect here you can say there was all you want. This thing shifted like a hot knife through butter. I didn't feel anything wrong.

Cool, thanks for the info... I am VERY interested in putting an 8406 like you did. I found the guys site, but I am having some trouble coming up with a source for the SAE 2 flywheel/ engine adapter.... Any ideas??? Here are some pics for the curious. See if anybody can guess what caused the catasprophic failure. Hint. It is something simple, and lead to a very bad chain of events.... Clearly the shift pivot ball, that threads into the bellhousing of the transmission, worked itself lose and on the way to completely becoming edgewise out, walloped all the threads to death in the hole This misalignment I am guessing is what caused the throwout bearing to fall apart (it is completely screwed if you could feel it and touch it) and caused the input shaft and pilot bearing in the flywheel to become wallored out and in turn all the misalignment caused something in my tranny to let go. I will be pulling the guts out of it tomorrow after class. SO I will definitely be spending some money, I would like to just get an eaton fuller or similar big truck tranny that can be top side serviced instead of end loader style.

Coming home from the gym last night, no trailer, no nothing, and btw I am completely stock so like 200 hp at the flywheel or less, and I heard the strangest sound a transmission could make when I was about to crest a hill, sounded like cats having a brawl in an alley or something, then it went clang, clatter, crunch and crash, now I have no forward or reverse gears and coasted to the shoulder... Mainshaft is broke I think, we pulled the drive shaft and yoke out of the back of the tranny, btw the seal is now definitely wallered out, and the output shaft will move up and down, side to side about 2 inches and can be pushed in about half an inch and out the same. Something aint right...... Fluid changed at 100k, 150k and 180k with pennzoil synchromesh that meets ms9224 spec, 5 quarts in it. What all do I need to do to put a 5 speed in the truck? I know I will need a clutch with 1 1/4 splines. What else? How different are the driveshaft lengths?? This is an 01 dually quad cab 2 wheel drive.

Are you sure those DDP injectors are set to the same pop pressure?

Next project I vote you do a write up on how to properly pick paint color, hardener, clear coat, etc etc sanding, spray gun for your hood. That's one thing I don't know much about, paint and body.

and compressor oil! I hope it works for you!

need a new one I think, mine no longer squirts... Thinking about just gutting the one that is on there and adding some other type of pump maybe? Just wondering about the type of pump to get? Any pump that will pump water will work great I think, as long as it has threaded fittings I could adapt to 1/4" male barbed for the washer fluid line. Any ideas?? What is the max amount of amperage pump I could use before I would overload the fuse for the washer pump?

This sucks. Why did the truck go to this butcher shop in the first place? What was wrong? Just wouldn't go above idle? That would probably be the vp44 failed. VP44 is about 1000. Place called midwest fuel injection, www.thedieselstore.com is where every online vendor gets their pumps from, they rebuild them there. Get it from them and avoid the middle man. Apps is about 160. Do a google for a guy named TIMBO and APPS. What exactly did the shop do to the truck? Inspect all your wiring too look for cut wires. Look on the side of the engine and see if there is a computer module still there and if it is plugged in. Then look around for sensors and stuff that might be unplugged.

Dang I bet you have some stories. There was a guy up at the feed store I used to work at everyday after class during college, name was Sam, older hispanic gentleman with tons of tatoos and stories about his younger days. Guess he grew up in El Paso Texas in the El Segundo Barrio I believe is what he called it. Lot of very interesting stories.... haha I learned REAL quick not to describe him to others as a mexican. Slipped up one time and pointed him out to a customer and said "he is that mexican fella over there with 10 gallon hat." My new name from that point on was "pinche gringo" I think and to his friends to describe me "Ese es un gringo de mierda", all in fun I think, but who knows hahaha.... think i'll skip the tatoos, removal sounds pretty unpleasant.

Dang I bet you are happy to be in Idaho after having gone through that....

Dang, that is pretty dope. Were you a member of the Hells Angels or something if I may ask? Just curious, I grew up in the sheltered life, church every Sunday and such hahaha. Gang stuff is real interesting to me. I watch that show called Gangland occasionally, pretty interesting.

Glad you finally decided to check it. Here is what I use http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?item_ID=68606&group_ID=1430 Also a gauge that goes up to at least 600 pounds.
