I have thrown around the idea of putting a 12v in an 03 cummins 6spd truck, but that is as far as I have gotten. The gauges are the biggest hurdle in the swap. If you are going to do a 12v auto, you can use the 47rh and adapt it to a 3rd gen 271 transfercase. Wiring would be fairly strait forward.

I know there have been 3rd gen 12vs made mostly for pulling. Not sure how many there are out there for daily driving. The one guy I talked with did one but he used all aftermarket gauges to avoid the factory wiring.

I am doing this swap right now, motor mounts are a problem, so I am building my own.

Garmon has done a few.

i did it on my 03 and it was a daily driver, motor mounts wiring for gauges, a/c electric engagement and altenator charging, and motor mount where the main issues

you listed motor mounts twice, would that mean they are a bigger issue then the others? or was that just by accident....

I'd like to find a Mega Cab to put a 12v in!
