NV4500
« on: October 30, 2008, 11:30:02 am »
Are these pretty common trannys?  I need one for my 86 6.2l diesel pickup.  Thanks

Very common as far as 3/4T chevy and Dodges go.

Will a dodge nv4500 bolt to a GMC 6.2l diesel?  Thanks!

okay.  I've been hearing that nv4500's are quite spendy and hard to find.  Anyway, if I buy an 87 GMC k25 with a 6.2l diesel...what are my options?  Yeah...I can spend $3k on a transmission that would the exact one I would want...but that isn't an option.  It had an auto in it...and not sure what I want back in it.

I'm thinking a th350...any drawbacks?  Also, did diesels have 700r4's behind them?

Thanks! ;)

So, will a 700r4 be fine behind a 6.2l?  And which years of 700r4 are not weak?  Thanks!

I picked up an NV4500 for $500 from a 95 chevy 1 ton 2wd they are around just keep an eye on craiglist in your area if you are wanting to stay with a chevy diesel you might be able to pick up an engine and tranny combo.

Hope this helps

Diesels did come with 700R4's, the good ones are 1987-up.
You can get a used NV4500 for a good price if you keep your eyes open.  New is going to be costly.
You can go with a TH350 also.
