Hey guys,
Have not posted in a while, my truck has been down for several years waiting for an engine swap, I'll update that thread when I make some headway. In the mean time I am wondering about the compatibility of a doner truck's transmission to put into my truck. My truck is a 94 idi factory turbo automatic trans, 4x4, single cab long bed. The doner truck I am interested in is a 93 idi non turbo 5 speed, 4x4 single cab long bed. First, is this the proper zf5 for my truck? Was there a difference between the trans put behind the na engine and the turbo engine (and early powerstrokes)? I'm my head this should be a pretty straight forward swap if I have all of the parts I just want to make sure the doner truck is a good match for mine.
If I do get the truck what is the current recommendation on clutch/flywheel set ups? I have found old threads of people going back and fourth between dual and single mass flywheels. Let me know what you all think.
*I apologize if this has been beaten to death but I am not have much luck with the search function here*
