whats up guys. not sure where to put this. Im looking at a used DNE2 overdrive unit. it is electric shift. I have always wanted to split gears in my f250 and have a better towing gear. Always seems i could use right between gears. (cummins 12v with nv5600 trans conversion).

This unit came off a 96 f350 with a zf5 4x4. It should be a 31 spline. My nv5600 is a 29 spline 4x4. I was always told my setup would kill a GearVendor unit. Im told these DNE2 units are very strong. Does anyone know if they make the 29 spline shafts for these?? I found the part numbers in the manual. Are these reliable and worth the trouble?

Thanks

Do I remember reading the Doug Nash units are not made anymore and parts are hard to get? If they drag race with the gearvendors units, and they are supposed to handle 2000 hp, I would not see why your setup would break it.
