[smokinrod]

Just wanted to say Hi. I am a first time Cummins owner and new to your site.

My truck is a halfbreed but I'm the happiest I've ever been I have a FORD with a CUMMINS Oo. so hopfully I will fit in here.

Welcome,

Lots of good info here, don't worry you will fit right in there are some other half breeds here

 

[Pmaloney]

Welcome to the TDR, I am sorry though that you bred with such bad genes :-laf :-{}

 

[MMeier]

Yes, welcome to the TDR. Next time though, buy a truck that wasn't raised down south!! J/K , welcome !!!!!!!!

If Ferd had gotten the Cummins first I'd be driving one today. But Dodge beat them to the punch! Welcome!

 

[rrausch]

By the way, smokinrod, what transmission are you running?

 

[smokinrod]

Thanks guys ,RRAUSCH I am running a NV4500 with a 241HD tcase. it is all out right now being built by Haisley Machine can't waite to get it back. Now does anyone have a Dana 80 laying around that they don't need?

 

[rrausch]

How much are they charging nowadays to put a Cummins in the Ford?

 

[smokinrod]

we are puting it in our selves,Haisleys is just doing the motor and trany work.

it hasn't been to bad yet. I got a NV4500 for $1000. 00 and a 97 12V with 58000mi on it for $2500. 00 traded my NP271 for a 241HD and all the FORDCUMMINS.com parts came to $375. 00. I was going with a NV5600 witch I got for $1500. 00 but Haisleys said it was not as good as a NV4500.

Welcome lots of good folks here . Thats sounds like a nice setup i have seen a 90s f 250 with 12v conversion and it was a nice rig . I to would buy an f 250 if cam with a cummins in it. Brian

 

[MMeier]

Why they say the 5600 is not as good as a 4500?

 

[smokinrod]

They said as of right now they don't make a input shaft strong enough to hold up for very long at the prostreet level.

 

[amnewsom]

I will give you $100 for that POS NV5600. Please?

Actually it's the mainshaft that alot of pullers are breaking. the 4500 is just simpler and stronger, but you cant beat a 5600 for towing/street driving. I think someone has HD mainshafts for the 5600 though, so theres anothe option if your wallet is fat enough.
