Throttle cable is taken care of but I’m not sure about TV cable yet
Quote from: jmduryea1 on March 14, 2022, 06:42:07 PMThrottle cable is taken care of but I’m not sure about TV cable yet I think TH400 uses a switch instead of a TV cable, IIRC.
I have a cummins to th400 adapter, my biggest question is if people have actually used them in 4x4 applications with success because this adapter tilts the transmission a little bit. Is it just the engine you're replacing, the rest of the drive train original i.e. Trans, Xfer case?
The Chevy gas tank fill necks are small diameter. A standard diesel fill nozzle is larger and will not fit, so you will need to replace your stock fill necks. If you can find a set off a 1980s chevy 6.2 diesel it will be a direct swap. Or you can remove the fill necks and cut/torch the round metal piece inside, which will allow you to fill with a diesel nozzle.Yes, the TH400 does not use a TV cable. It has an electric kick down switch. Your VP44 pump NEEDS to have a low fuel pressure light installed. I included a link below, but you can make your own for about half that price with a switch and light from auto parts store. My VP44 has this premade kit, but I put together the same parts for a buddies VP44. Unfortunately I dont remember the part numbers or thread size for the switch I used. Without it you WILL burn up that $1500+ VP44 pump when the fuel pressure drops from a plugged filter or failing lift pump. This light has saved me twice now. https://www.bluechipdiesel.com/products
let me start with welcome from maryland. lets start with the adapter, you dont need to tilt the trans if you tilt the motor. my setup (was stock before i touched it) 91v3500 crew cab with a 350/4l80e/205. It now has a 5.9/4l80e/205 utilizing the bread van adapter. i used motor mounts that used the GM mounts and locations so it moved the engine back 3" and i had to cut a tad into the firewall and cut 3" off the rear driveshaft and used a longer front driveshaft with no body lift and no suspension lift. fuel tank i removed the tank hose and used a hole saw and made the nozzle bigger, looking back i wish i made it a little bigger due to the high flow nozzles the big trucks use. my truck was tbi so it had fuel pumps in the tank and i wired them to turn on with the oil pressure switch and kept the stock pump setup in the tanks. i didnt run an intercooler as i have a older 12v. your axles are going to be toast within no time so i wouldnt even work on the driveshafts till you upgrade them.
Hey folks I been collecting parts to swap a ‘99 5.9 isb into my 1984 k10 (6” suspension lift and 3” body lift) and can use opinions on if I’m missing anything or better parts to get. From what I have seen this can be done with k10 lift springs (my truck already has an old super stiff lift kit installed), I have an intercooler ready for it, got a throttle setup from a dodge and I’m hoping it will work because this engine is out of a freightliner mt45. I have a cummins to th400 adapter, my biggest question is if people have actually used them in 4x4 applications with success because this adapter tilts the transmission a little bit. I have various starters for the cummins depending on what adapter I settle with. Throttle cable is taken care of but I’m not sure about TV cable yet I need a new oil pan and pickup to fit the truck as I’ve seen when using an ISB engine. I plan to use an oem chevy gas tank, heard mixed opinions on if the filler will take a diesel pump nozzle or notI have summit engine mounts that bolt to factory mounts on the frame I got a dodge steering pump/vacuum pumpKDP is fixed along with new front and rear seals Basic cheap water fuel separator I will get a edelbrock fuel pump until I can afford a fass Yes this truck is on stock axles but 44’s and 14 bolts are impossible to find even traveling a few hundred miles I am going to get a brothers truck wiring harness and re wire the whole truckI really want a fuel pressure monitor with an alarm due to the vp44 but I have no idea what to look for when buying one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
you need/want a trans with od. if not you probably max out around 50-55 mph. even with OD my top speed is 83 with 4.10 ratios. if i have to rebuild my axles im going with 3.55 like dodge did
