    Cummins swap

    T15=T19. No OD. 4spd. I'm not too worried about mileage or peace and quite cause its gonna have dual stacks. The clutch part I'm gonna take a huge hit cause back in jan of this year I replace the clutch kit to the tune of $650 and t19 or something with OD is gonna hurt worse than buying all the...

    Cummins swap

    How bad would the T19 do with RPMs behind a 12v? Midnightrider mentioned something that ZF5 weren't the best in the world.

    Junkyard Score!!!

    Your like at exit 560 something and Im at exit 591 on I20. So you like 45 miles or less from me. I need the following done: New clutch,oil pressure and water gagues,check for KDP and rear breaks and remove my stacks off the IDI and put on goat.And finish putting IDI back together. Thats about it.

    No run

    My lift pump took a dump. I currently have a Holley Red pump under there and it runs, but am I throwing too fuel pressure at it? The pump is under the hood. Do I need to move it back or can it where its at without any problems?
