    GearVendors behind ZF5 4x4 - Anyone done it and care to share their setup?

    Update on this, I got the setup on the bench and bolted together. Bolted to a wide ratio 460 ZF5 that I'll be either swapping cases on or drilling to fit. Will need to create a brace to handle the weight as well.

    You've got a 2wd C6 GV makes an adapter that replaces your tail housing on the C6, and there is a coupler that connects the shaft to the GV shaft, it's basically just an adapter. The output of the GV unit is a yoke that has a joint that your driveshaft connects to. You'll need to have your...

    Would let the tailhousing and coupler go cheap if you find a GV unit

    @parkergn Going to keep it, sorry. Picked up a GV unit for an E4OD that fits my ZF5 4x4 setup and will be keeping it as a spare.

    C6 to E4OD ?

    Straight 6 is small block Ford, same as 302 or 351. You'd need something with a diesel pattern or can possibly drill a 460 to fit. I know the 460 ZF5 can be drilled to fit

    pump and injector cores?

    @typ4 buys injector cores, Justin at idiperformance.com needs pump cores sometimes. Not sure who else needs them.

    7.3IDI running on wmo

    I'll be running an electric setup, though I'd like to figure out a way to keep a mechanical spare on board (not installed) for easy switchover should anything happen. Has Justin said anything about running WMO on his pumps?

    WTB ZF-5 4X4

    I have one, but I'm in SoCal, can see what it'd take to ship if you're keen on that.

    any experience with Thoroughbred diesel IP's?

    Given that their pumps are listed as being for the Powerstroke 7.3, I doubt they know much about these pumps.

    Anyone from Nanaimo have a pop tester and timing tools?

    There are a few guides on here for rebuilding injectors if you search as well as on YouTube. There are PDF downloads of the factory manual which has the procedure, PM me and I'll get it to you. I made a pop tester using a 10 ton hydraulic hand pump from Amazon warehouse for $48, an old...

    GearVendors behind ZF5 4x4 - Anyone done it and care to share their setup?

    I have two GV units. Maybe I could double them like the rock crawler guys double up transfer cases I'd be driving down the freeway at idle speeds If I get enough of them maybe I wouldn't even need a driveshaft at all, just straight from transmission through a series of GV units to the rear axle.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I use red heatshrink on my positive ends and buy all the power cable in black.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    @chillman88 Here is a 30' roll of 2/0 tinned copper marine grade battery cable for $135 on Amazon Warehouse, I've gotten most of my battery cable and heavier gauge wire from the warehouse without any issues. https://www.amazon.com/AWG-Marine-Wire-Tinned-Battery/dp/B088JGLY3Q

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    @chillman88 Check if the corrosion has travelled, it might only be on the first few inches.

    GearVendors behind ZF5 4x4 - Anyone done it and care to share their setup?

    I spoke to someone at Gearvendors who returned my call. They said 4x4 could be used if it was before the transfer case. It still requires a minimum speed, so I'm not sure how useful that will ever be, but good to know.

    Good price for used factory turbo?

    Pretty much going rate, expect to rebuild the turbo and it'd be advised to swap that factory downpipe for literally anything else.

    GearVendors behind ZF5 4x4 - Anyone done it and care to share their setup?

    For wiring I'll be using the Nick's wiring from https://www.nickpisca.com/diesel/electrical/gearvendor-controller-broke-how-i-replaced-my-controller-with-a-simple-circuit/ As far as being stuck, I'll just have to add my second GV unit to the list of spares I keep on hand, alongside V-belts, an...

    GearVendors behind ZF5 4x4 - Anyone done it and care to share their setup?

    It isn't for using it while in 4WD, just 2wd. All I read and the few people I've talked to say specifically not to use it in 4WD. GV wiring has a cutoff if 4wd is engaged. GV adapters are $700+, I picked this whole thing up for $350. It will fit the way I showed above without buying...

    '86 Extended cab project thread

    That RV in the background is based on a 1981 F150 with a 3.08 9" rear end. Going to take all my old 8 lug stuff from my truck and stick it on that RV. Should ride better with 3.55 rear end. Has a 300 inline six, I have an Offenhauser 4 barrel inake, though I'm planning on selling the RV so...

    '86 Extended cab project thread

    Finished my Masters degree, am able to actually work on this truck now. Scope keeps changing, my plan is to now... Convert it to 4x4 Swap 2005+ SD axles Add a gear vendor unit Swap side tank with a 38 gallon SD unit Redo the wiring (again, I hate it) Add air horns I found from an International...

    GearVendors behind ZF5 4x4 - Anyone done it and care to share their setup?

    It usually does go that way, Trans -> Tcase -> GV -> Axle You can't use it in 4WD, it'll destroy something, regardless of which way you have it setup. That is the overwhelming consensus I've read, at least.

    Looks like it has been done before, found this picture.

    GearVendors behind ZF5 4x4 - Anyone done it and care to share their setup?

    I'd mainly use it in 5th over while freeway driving, it'll be something like 1600 rpm at 70mph depending on tire size with 3.73 rear axle.

    GearVendors behind ZF5 4x4 - Anyone done it and care to share their setup?

    I picked up a GV unit for $350 meant for an E4OD equipped RV with a driveline brake. Bolts right to my transfer case, seems like it'll bolt right to my ZF5 4x4 transmission as well. The issue with this particular setup is the transfer case shifter linkage mounting, I'll need to figure that...
