For me it all comes down to the truck. My truck is pretty cherry so if the motor went in it to me it would be worth a new one cause I don't plan to sell it.
Well the deal is made, I just have to go get the 5.9. It's working out for both parties, he needs/wants a set of axles I have and I'd like to have the engine, so both parties should be pleased. I like doing business this way. I'm stoked to find one so quick.
Now can anyone give me a ballpark on what an ole 6.9 is worth? It burns alittle oil, leaks alittle oil, but starts and runs sofar everytime i've needed it to. It's got new injectors, glowplugs, fuel return lines, and I just rebuilt the starter. I'm gonna wait to pull it so any potential buyer can really see it in action.
If they buyer can hear it run, you should be able to get $600 to $1000 for it depending on your market.
GEN I, 94 or 95 year model, I can't remeber what the fellow told me. I'll find out when i bring it home
That would be nice to get for it, especially after pricing NV4500 trannys today
I wonder if you could adapt the T19 to the Cummins. Of course you'd then for sure have to get some tall rear gears with its lower power band. ...

1st Gen. = 1989-1993, with intercooling starting in 1991.5.
2nd Gen., P-pumped 12-valve, still mechanical, are 1994 to 1998.5.
After 1998.5 = 24-valve electronic junk.
Better to get a Getrag.
Much stronger and they don't lose the fifth-gear nut every few miles.
The Getrag is an actual five-speed; whereas, the NV4500 is a four-speed, with fifth gear hanging off the back.
Everything I have heard and read says the opposite of that about the getrag. That's good to hear though, they have a bad rap around here. So maybe I can find one at a good price then.
