I went with a 4L80. I was dreading the tall ratio splits of the NV4500 and was looking for what you have but they are discontinued and nowhere to be found used. I imagine as far as a manual goes you have the best of all worlds. Super granny low, tall overdrive, and lots of gears in between. The...

I know the price we pay! The AC and overdrive have been the best mods to my CUCV. Love cruising at 80mph with the AC on. Well flat ground anyway 🤣 Look on the bright side...it's still easier then working on new vehicles even with all that extra stuff in the way. I have a backhoe wall mount...

Nice Nice Engine top end work will be a pain either requiring compressor to be pulled and flopped over or line removal. Just something to think about. Nothing better then sitting in a boiling hot CUCV middle of July with your leg melting to the school bus leather seat cover. But the AC is...

Knowing you can build that for maybe half in used parts and a lot of time, that's a lot for the money where you literally drop it in, set the timing, and drive. I went with Howell on my 8.1 and I thought the harness was very well out together, they built it exactly to the spec I ordered, and it...

Howell? Probably could just buy a reman 454 TBI unit, get the sensors from a junkyard and buy the right prom chip for it on eBay.

Is Gen VI TBI or MPI? One nice thing is the big block fits right in with no issue regardless of the transmission. All the tough stuff is off the shelf same as the 8.1 engine. Not like a Cummins which yeah there are adapter parts but you are still putting something in there that didn't come...

I was always worried about the cruise rpm stock even with 37's. I'm much happier with the 4L80 and a tach now. I'm hoping that buys me some time. Speaking of it...probably should replace my balancer. It has been ten years. I hate to say it, I think the 6.2 is an absolute pile of junk. But it...

Wait people test these? Time is money, if they are out they should be replaced anyway. Save yourself from the shouting🤣

Detroit Diesel - lesson learned Sorry for the hijack. It's a shame that the only way to get something reliable is go with a $15k Navistar engine. I would be content with going with a new Detroit but having a grenade with the pin out isn't nice after spending $5k for a long block. Unless the...

I know nothing about turbo system designs other then the basics but the factory system is whack. Talk about design compromise in the manifold. Also seems like the only source of a factory manifold is low quality aftermarket or used which isn't great either.

Waiting 🍿🍿 This will be epic. Condolences to the crankshaft. Seriously I like the idea of two little turbos on the 6.2 for sure.

8.1 is almost 500 foot pounds just sayin... I'm guessing you are building your own manifolds? Do you have a build thread on this? I am curious...asking for a friend 🤣

I got one from B4Thunder many years ago but not sure if he is still selling them. I don't think he is. I don't think the programming is hard. Just need to know how many teeth on the tcase gear the pickup is reading . How much is the cable these days? Personally I'm not a big fan of doing...

What's in it for PS fluid?

Looking good! I dig the light bar. Mine is very close to your setup and the driveshafts are butter smooth up to the top speed. Best investments...overdrive and crossover steering. Well and the AC too.

Take your book and throw it out. It isn't applicable in the real world unless you are using it for a teardown procedure or wiring diagram. As suggested....do all of the above. Figure out what budget you have here and start with the most important stuff. Injection Pump/Lift Pump/New Filter or...

This is the exact reason I didn't go with an NV4500 when I did my overdrive swap. I didn't want to have the wide ratio spread with the gutless engine. I am not a big fan of the gear vendors overdrive for a lot of reasons. Mostly because it isn't a deep enough overdrive that you need with the...

I would think if the fuse is blowing with the correct voltage you have a short circuit. Or something causing a severe draw to the point of blowing the fuse.
