DT360 into 1991 F350

I think it was worth it. Only thing I'm not 100% thrilled about is the S42 ZF. The 4.14:1 first sucks pulling out with the trailer

Time for a ZF-6!

What gears do you have gunner? And a friend has a S47 he's offered me, said he'd trade straight up. I'll give it a little and see what I think.

3.55s ( or whatever it is that's really close), I don't have any issue with starting large loads though, be it our tractor or 8 ton of hay if I just let out the clutch slowly most of the time I can just idle along

Have you tried backing up said trailer yet while t-case is in 2wd? Every time I forget to low-range it the moment I start letting off the clutch I am instantly reminded of the NP435 awesomeness and how badly I miss it. So a wide-ratio S42 was procured, it's chilaxing right next to another diesel S42, now if I only had the time to split them and switch the gears around...

Regarding the S47 your buddy offered to trade you, take a look at its ID tag on the side of the case. It will tell you what gears it has, apparently just cause it's a S47 doesn't automatically mean the gear ratios are any better than what you got. Not gonna get the 5.72 first regardless, unless you go big-block with the Typp4 mod, but at least 5.08 would be nicer than what you're working with now...

Yeah my friend has an od splitter for his 435, I wish the torque rating was more than 425, would rather that combination.

Well I'm thrilled with how it tows. Pulls harder than the idi, and it doesn't get above 180 degrees even with no fan. Egts won't even go above 1200! Got the t case shifter hooked up so that makes it a little easier on a hill, throw it in low, then once I'm moving shift to high.

Oh never posted my exhaust setup. I chopped up the downpipe and welded on a 90 degree bend, stainless clamp, 10 for piece of 4 inch straight pipe, and a tailpipe from a 2005 cumapart dodge!

Thanks, she's come a long way from the grandpa truck it was!

Nice! I feel like I've asked this before so forgive me if I have, where did you get the cowl hood and what brand/model is it? I like it.

Love the bumper sticker.

 

[6.9poweredscout]

I don't think you have. Honestly not sure on the brand. Got it used on CL. I think it's pretty old, lots of little cracks and chips. Cleaned it up and painted it semi gloss "hot rod" black. Wasn't a functioning hood either, I cut holes in it so it'll pull the heat out... dropped underhood temps about 15 degrees.

Lol I always wanted to paint a beater like the old bomber planes, I figured this was close enough on this one.

Love the truck Jon. It sounds total kick ass! As far as your worries about the gears, have you considered swapping parts in from a wide ratio zf?

 

[6.9poweredscout]

My friend has a 5.72:1 zf he said he'll trade. I don't think I have the energy this year to swap lol. I'll probably swap it in the spring. I would really love a low/od splitter if I could find one... I suppose I'll settle with the lower zf.
