Found a '92 gasser 250 4x4, 93,000 miles, with a locked-in-second Getrag, new tires, engine runs good, not too beat, single cab for less than a grand. Was thinking about converting my D250 Clubcab into a 5 speed 4x4. What am I looking at? I Know the bell housing off the gasser won't work. I understand the V10 bell housing will. Is this truck a good donor or no?

 

Are you sure it is a getrag 360? They didn't put them in gas trucks.

 

Mark Nixon put a gasser NV4500 behind a cummins but had to change the input shaft and bearings. The problem is the rest of the internals aren't as strong and will eventually break. He considers his a "light duty" NV4500.

 

No, not sure at all. Made a (wrong) assumption. What manual trans DID they put in 4x4 250 gassers?

So this is NOT the trans I want behind my Cummins (and not the donor I need)?

 

Correct. It's a light duty NV4500.

 

Yea its gonna be a light duty nv4500 and it'll also have a light duty front axle i think, not Dana 60
