I think all the pics are gone from this thread, but it's the one I was talking about with the adapted married tcase.

Sweeeeet I will take a look once I get on a computer. I am leaning to the 6 speed at OTP chatters talked with steve he said 4-500 for the transmission. I will be able to get the clutch and flywheel also with that.
-
if you have a source for NV5600's for 500$ i would buy 6 of them to easily double or tripple your money on ebay or any diesel forums
-
that sounds like a steal nick I would jump on it.
-
They are not 5600 they are eaton 6 speeds out of something semi big. It is not going to be a dump bus but it sure will be a dumper! I am gonna look around a tad more see if I can find a overdrive 6 speed that would be sweet. I really don't wanna use my gear vendor again since now that is just going to be a weak link and a hassel in the future. Then after this project will be looking for a f550 with a blown motor and put my truck drivetrain in that and buy a 10 ton goose trailer for that setup. Now that will be the bees knees!
-
Bees knees :o
-
What do you need to get out of the gear vendors? I have a guy looking for one possibly.
-
I will keep it in mind. If I am going to get rid of it I will be doing it as a package with the transmission tho so we will see
-
They sure seem overpriced and weak

-
Mark I am not sure what transmission you have in the BBB but if it is a fuller 6 speed from what I am reading it is easy to cover a direct drive tranny to a OD. I have a good cheap lead on a fuller 6 speed direct drive and I will be swapping it over to a OD.
-
It's a Fuller 5 speed but I'm not sure what model. Model number later...
-
Eaton-Fuller FS-4205A?
-
That sounds right. Search converting fs to fso transmission you will see some of the info. I have seen a lot with the 6 speeds so I am not sure about the 5 speeds
-
False info I found online!! There is only a few models that you can convert.
-
figures... :'(
-
Mike did you have good luck with caseys? I can not get them to call me back to tell me if they have the exact transmission I want and how much. bassstids!!
-
I did have good luck. I don't remember which guy I usually talked with. The old guy (who I think is Casey himself) is pretty forgetful. I dealt with one of the younger guys there. Shit, they might even remember my project and pile, that might loosen them up a little for you. They all have Cummins Rams but the one I dealt with had actually been thinking about a swap.
-
I will mention it next time I talk with them. They are supposed to be calling me back in a little bit which means I will be calling them again around 1 to remind them.
-
2450 for a rebuilt fso-6406a which is a 6 speed overdrive fuller from caseys. That price includes transmission bell housing and a yoke. I am really leaning towards pulling the trigger on this since I can't wait for a couple months to try and find a good deal on one. What did your total build run you mike?
-
3750 with clutch and housing and starter [that didn't clear] and yoke and joint and shifter and stuff. _complete_
-
that is not bad, you could sell some of your 4500 and gear venders to make most of that back
-
I bet I will have no problem getting 3500-4000 for my whole setup if I fix what is wrong with my 4500. I will also buy the fuller 6 speed from ontario truck parts he will sell me clutch flywheel everything for 500 dollars then I can try and resell that transmission for maybe 750 so I think in the end I can probably do a even slide if not make a little money.
-
alright now you are smoking the same crack mike does, you should be set now
-
hahahahahaaa
-
HahahahahhahHah type dodge nv4500 into ebay then look for a conversion one and look at the price. Then search gear vendor and put the prices together and tell me I am still on crack!!
-
my 4500 4x4 setup sold in less than a week for 1500 I think? clearly could have gotten more.
-
I see just transmissions all over for 2k with no clutch or transfer case
-
Wat.
My rebuild was a grand and core charge was maybe 700? I don't remember since I didn't have to pay it.
-

2300 for this c conversion
-
Another strike against caseys. Told the transmission was going to be done today and now it is going to be done on wednesday fawkkkkkkkkk
-
boo hiss.
-
Let the fun begin
(http://img.tapatalk.com/aefc1ffa-f431-32ca.jpg)
Man the cool stuff they have at caseys woooo weee
-
true story bro
-
My transmission is part way out and tomorrow getting the spare transmission from ontario truck parts for the clutch flywheel and all that and hopefully have most of it together by tomorrow night. We will were how smooth this journy goes
-
Here's to hoping no rough roads ahead
-
You get a body lift or are you floor hackin? I forgot to ask today.
-
God speed.
floor room should not be 13 speed issues lol
-
I'm gonna mess with the floor boards I don't think it is going to be a huge problem
-
What's this thing?
-
big truck 6 speed
-
The ring gear on the flywheel is fawked from the transmission we took apart at ontario truck parts. That kinda slowed us down for the weekend but I got the clutch adapter plate flywheel starter and another transmission for $400 and steve at OTP said he thinks he has another flywheel so it is a score no matter what.
-

This is why a nv4500 sucks if you ever plan on towing more than a 2 place snowmobile trailer. Broke teeth off of 5th gear and I am surprised that i was able to drive the truck as long as I did.
-
easy fix to sell at least,
-
yeah it is about the easiest thing to fix. I dont even have to tear the whole transmission apart
-
Funny how similar our 4500 experiences are (were)
-
It is going to fit with just some sledge hammer work and thats about it. The transmission is straight back from the mount holes on the bell housing. That is my awesome slave cylinder so my twigs will be able to push the clutch!!

Hydro clutch would be nice.
Good thing I power lift recreationally.

rumor has it nick was driving a sweet oil leaking machine today

This thing fits in almost like stock. This is by far the way to go for big boiii transmission

Your still working on this?
-
how is the 4x4 and tcase install going?
-
Your still working on this?
He's more like me-this-year. He's no me-two-years-ago.
-
I am milking this thing out and getting my moneys worth!
-
alright now you are smoking the same crack mike does, you should be set now
Just want to say told you so since I got $3500 in my pocket for my old transmission and GV!
-
Who did you drug and hold at gun point?
-
It was only on craigslist for 4 days also.
-

:o wow that's almost rebuilt new prices
Doesn't a GV go for about 2000 new?
-
3k new
-
Just picked up the drive shaft $350 from fleet pride when cook brothers wanted 560 plus freight and tax
-
But is it right is the question
-
4-5 more tries and it'll be right. More new parts thrown at it but te price will stay the same.
Can't argue with results! Hahaha
-
I took the gamble we will find out
-
She has a big belly on her now! I used the original spots on the frame for the crossmember it lined up really close. Everything works good just drove it in the parking lot since the gallon or gallon and a half of oil mike had was not enough to fill it. Shifts just like a normal transmission real smooth and easy. The only thing I am not happy with is the mount I made to hold the clutch slave it works fine tho just sucks. Other than that she is sweet!

Damn, thought I had more left than that. Sorry it wasn't quite enough!
-
man she is no rock crawler, low ridding!
-
true dat. I guess twin countershaft is good for belly clearance at least :)
-
twin countershaft ftw!
-
I see some snazzy "stock" exhaust still fitting past that unit though. each has its clearance strengths!
-
unit, ha.
-
I won't be doing any rock crawling in 2wd anyways so it will be fine. Just got the oil from emerson and 5 gallons was the minimum I could order. Comes in at a sweet $166!!
-
suuuuuucks, was hoping there was a 1 gallon option.
-
Just drove this around for the last 30min or so and it shifts and drives so nice that the average person would probably not even realize anything is different from the normal stick. I also want to give a +1 to fleetpride for fit and balancing with the shaft.
-
They're up to -47 from -48, then!
-
This is one of the best mod I have ever done to anything. just broke it in with the excavator out to sodus and the shift points are perfect. I would recommend this setup to anyone looking for something better than stock.
-
What's the length and what did you have to do for a speedo?
I am running a 2wd trans now with a divorced 205 so if my nv4500 ever s**ts maybe that can be a good bolt in.
-
It is about 30" bell housing to yoke. I am not sure on the speedo yet but I know mike has that answer so I am not worried.
-
You're still running no speedo? Lame :)
-
Dont rush me!

This boom lift is the first thing I have ever moved that gave the trailer a work out. It only weighs 13k pounds in a tiny platform. I am loving first gear in this tranny took very little effort to get the weight moving

Glad it's done. That guy never called me. Looks wide anyway.

Isn't that a 14k trailer? Don't let Johnny law see you....
I have heard of a couple of guys lately getting pulled over by the DOT that were hauling eq. with a one ton. One guy got a nice stack of tickets. He was guessing $1000 in fines, went before the judge, judge said he didn't know the dot laws that well and made him pay $65 fine and court fees.
-
looks like your SPRAY PAINT is fading nick
-
That was getting moved like 5 miles through the city. I know I was way over weight I would never had gone down the highway with that thing. The good old $1 can spray paint is not holding up!

Phenomenal deal! Those 622's aren't bad at all.
