5th gear has left the chat.What's the bitch with an NV4500? I've been throwing 600+ rwhp at mine for 100k miles with no issue. Other than the shitty 3-4 ratio split I have nothing to complain about.

Yup. My 5th gear is a neutral5th gear has left the chat.
I used to drive a rollback with a pretty hot 7.3 psd and a ZF5 occasionally. Aside from the 3rd gear grind that they came with new, it was fine. Even loaded heavy in the mountains.Well atleast hes not renigging on the 12v like the last guy that bought a pos motored ford.......
Curious on opinions of the zf5 holding up to a 12v from op and the peanut gallery.
I make a point not to ride in new trucks because I know I'll want one for sure

I swapped a P-pump 12v and a ZF6 into my 2005 Super Duty. I couldn't be happier.
Where are you in WA?
Lost 3rd gear twice, 5th once, an input shaft, cooked one towing my toy hauler and willys over the passes. They can be good if beefed up but i have the zf5 and they are very similar in strength. The zf5 just has a few less common issues than the nv4500What's the bitch with an NV4500? I've been throwing 600+ rwhp at mine for 100k miles with no issue.

Ever use the actual manual transmission fluid? I killed the pocket bearing in a ZF 5 by putting the wrong oil in it when I was a punk kid. Then had another one and put the higher dollar ford recommended oil in it and never had another problem.We used to maintain fleets for the phone company and power company all through the 80's and 90's. One thing we learned about the ZF longevity is to change the fluid every 20,000-30,000 miles.
Where did you find a pedal? Junkyard or new?Well to reel back in the side banter i found some good info this week on the swap. Specifically the speedometer sensor. The truck has 3 but the one for the speedometer is the one one the rear axle for the abs. Thats a win less to worry about. Got a bunch of stuff ordered up from dcs, jb fab, mike, and a new zf5 slave and zf6 master along with my pedeal assembly
I found my stuff on ebay very readily available for pedal assemblies, masters, etcWhere did you find a pedal? Junkyard or new?
Ebay theyre around $60 for a new clutch pedal assembly it’s a separate unit from the other two on these trucksWhere did you find a pedal? Junkyard or new?
Thru flip floped on that a couple times. Some were ATF, some were MTL. ATF shits better but MTL makes them last longer.No. We always used atf as recommended by Ford.
Best 2500 ive spent awd 5 speed i love it!Somewhere in the BDL thread on the old site is a picture of me hauling a 460/C6 in a CRV that's one generation older than that one. They get shit done.
But there’s a computer next to it?!Another puzzle piece secured who says you need a truck to haul shit crv for the win
Thats a spare i got for my buggy it runs a cpi 4.3But there’s a computer next to it?!
fail on my recent post. I wasn’t done replying and it got posted.But im going to manual shift convert the np273 and run a dodge input to bolt to the zf5.
