Ford tranny swap?

Here we go again. I cant stand having an automatic! A truck should have a manual tranny, imo. the truck is fine when your just cruising but when you're hauling hay you need manual control. I've got a line on a ZF 5 speed and xfer case so I'm thinking of ditching my 4R100 and associated Destroked parts and installing the 5 speed with more Destroked parts

I'll have all the parts listed in the classified section. Please pass along to all your friends thnking of swapping into a 99-05 ford

Merry Christmas to all

I'm using PCS controller and it is amazing what it can do but i still like having the control to decide when to shift. You just cant program that many parameters into the pcs.

12V or 24V

Well guys my current truck is up for sale and I am debating on a 12v or 24v for my 97 F-250 conversion. What are the advantages or disadvantages of both and which one is cheaper to do. I know HP can be made with both. Which are more reliable and better for a 600hp daily driver. I am assuming a 3rd gen 24v would be more $$ since the electronics and all. So should I be leaning towards the 12v conversion. Any inof will help. Thanks guys
Sorry i ment to start a new post...

Anyone need conversion parts? I am going back to a NV4500 for my Fummins. I have the adapter plate, flex plate and PCS controller listed in the classified section. Check it out under the clean up section
