So June 2017 I found a post from when I originally had noticed this issue starting.. you can see my attempt at a fix

Hard to tell from the pics, but is there enough room to weld a single piece of square aluminum stock placed horizontally and then drill and tap your two holes? If you could put one long weld across the bottom in addition to the sides it might make a lot more strength.

Find the right fabricator, that can be welded by the right individual, you just need to find that person.

Good luck whichever path you take.

Update, I've found someone on Facebook near me in apollo who is doing a 4x4 swap. He's agreed to sell it to me for 300$ [the 2wd one] and should have it pulled by the weekend. Shifted fine he said, about 150k on it mine had 136k so whatever there but more importantly all mounts are good.

A good question is how heavy is a zf5? Gotta figure out how I'm going to actually move it where it needs to go. I can't remember picking one up ever.

It’s a two man lift. Maybe one really burley guy. I love furniture dollies for moving them. Fits perfectly on a big HF one.

They make tranny jack mounts for floor Jack's that's what I got they are pretty handy
ATE Pro. USA 84153 Transmission Jack Adaptor, 1/2 Ton, 17.72" Height, 5.12" Width, 9.84" Length https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00080QGYG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_xf-kCb3BHAJ9V

HF trans jack will install it. I thought you meant just moving it from one location to another while retrieving it from the seller.

 

[BrianX128]

No your right that's all I'm doing. Paul the guy doing the clutch and flywheel for me has a trans jack I'm just doing the legwork getting another transmission. I have a trans jack too, I just didn't want anything to do with doing this job without a lift. If it was on my 4x4 I might have tried it in my garage.

Here's to hoping this trans is actually good once I get it..

Or just one dumb kid. At 26, it was all I could do to pick one up off of the floor and put it on the workbench. These days, I may drag one around on my garage floor. That's about it.

Glad you found one.

IMO they aren't that heavy. Way lighter than a 4 speed or c6. They can be lifted and moved if your still young and dumb like me but I don't put them in by hand any longer.

So I got the trans from the guy on Facebook and now I'm worried I screwed up..

Its definitely for a 2wd and was on his diesel but I swear that build date says 95 so it would have been on a powerstroke.. does that work? I can't Google as I gotta drive home from the shop. Ughhh

 

[IDIBRONCO]

I'm pretty sure that it will work just fine.

 

[FarmerFrank]

Your fine. Diesels are all the same bell until 6.0's.

I have an s-42 from an idi on my powerstroke.

No speedometer or odometer though as mine was a 90 and this is from a 95.. not sure how that's going to fly for pa state inspections..

 

[Thewespaul]

That’s definitely a problem. Autometer sells a gps combo speedo/odometer but it would be nice to have everything work like stock. Likely looking at swapping the back half or getting a different zf

 

[BrianX128]

Well my state inspection doesnt need odometers if the truck is older than 25 years so that doesnt matter. I track my mileage in the fuelio app so I know what my odometer is at when I fill up.

I just need a universal speedo that's GPS driven. I really like the idea of first gear being 4.14 to 1 versus 5.72 to 1 which is useless and this thing is in really good shape. Kid took care of his truck. I just really thought it looked like an idi and the doner truck was an idi so I never gave the speedometer stuff much thought.
