Stock dodge cable. Its a bit long tho. makes the pedal a bit stiff. May try to shorten . or maby just try a nice new cable . |
Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
If it works for you, on that 89 Burb I did, I was able to retain the stock throttle cable. I just had to drill the hole a little bigger to slide over the dodge pivot ball. I then used a clip and end from another ford throttle cable I had to pop on the ball to retain the cable in place. Works great.

Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
The cool part of you truck build is when it drives by when your done, people will never expect the sound of a diesel should screw with a few heads, be like ..what..is that a diesel, no way...cool. Keep the work going, cool build for sure, lot to fab and modify that is why I appreciate it so much, a real build.

Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
What did you come up with for the trans mount?
|
Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
6BT you need the 29 spline coupler specific to the getrag/205 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dodge-Cummin...30858207866%26 http://www.enterpriseengine.com/shop...apter-coupler/ http://www.quad4x4.com/cgi-bin/comme...cton&key=10528 http://www.ebay.com/itm/np-205-np205...59218e&vxp=mtr
I would check the web for some feedback before ordering one. I hope this helps! |

Is the Gertag the same spline as the NV 4500? I wouldent have thought so ? Most of those links seem to give you that inpression tho. Hummmm.... now what . i guess I gave to hit the web to see whats up . Thanks again for the links . |
Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
Yes all the 4x4 dodge manuals are 29 spline and will all bolt up to your 205 (not sure about the G56) but I was thinking that coupler only came with the 360/205.

Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
Yeah your right, I should have said diesels. Do you know what the V10s had?

Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
pretty sure all the diesel and v10 trans are the same. they were the "HD" units.
|
Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
That's what I thought, they both have the bigger input shafts on the nv4500s also.

So lots of progress in the last few weeks . It's up and running now. a few things still to do. the rad is shot. Just used it to make sure everything was going to work. I let it run in the shop for a few hrs tonite . got up to 195. still needs a fan as well. The t case shifter has to be moved up abt 6 inches too. looking forward to a test run if it ever stos raining.

Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
Any one know what k&n filter fits on the front of the stock turbo. I see lots of trucks with a nice stubby one that fits quite well.
|
Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
Don't go with K&N, just about any filter other than that should be fine just not K&N.

Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
I hear that it takes a big filter to provide air for these things. I have seen stubby filters sucked in on themselves.

Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
If you get a couple 90s or a big U you could run a BHAF, or you could just get a stock 2nd Gen intake pipe and do the same thing. I don't think the 1st Gen pipe is long enough.

Well tonite was the fitst drive. It's noisey , rattles , no cup holders and it rides and handles like a hay wagon. Yep love it. It needs a few tie rod ends and the drag link is ng. I knew abt this tho. Was wating on the draglink till i got it figured out what I wanted to do. Going to do a link using gm ends like Ryan did on the V rig. This should take care of the haywagon handiling . Still need a air filter. Make a new mount for the T/c shifter, move it up abt 6inches.
Im also thinking Im going to have to make up some kind of track bars. This truck has only got 1/2 ton springs in the rear. That combined with a 4inch block for the rear lift and a lot more torque on tap and it tends to waunder around a bit in the rear when you stomp on it or decellerate quickly. Some bars should help eliminate the axle wrap and keep me going in a straight line. Any one built any before ? Any pics ? Ryan I'm sure you can contribute;) |
Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.
THAT IS SO COOL!!! Love it. No advice though, I don't even have mine on the road yet but am truly inspired
