You know, I like your videos just as much as the truck. Your videos are straight to the point, get it done style. There’s no boring talk that no one cares about that rambles on for 15 minutes . When you do talk to the camera, its good, cool information, preventative info, etc..you talk about how your going to perform the job, then you video exactly how you do it. Everything is quick and clear and straight forward. By far the best Diesel RUclipsr on the app. 👍🏻 Been watching since the beginning
A lot times i skip through people videos to get to what the title of the video says they are doing. I watch all your videos all the way through. Looking forward to the next one.
Great video Tim! As I’m sure most everyone here appreciates all the work you put into not only the build of your trucks, but your video quality and editing have become second to none for the crew cab first gen enthusiasts. Top notch brother!
Haha there's lots i haven't done but there is nothing I'm not willing to learn about and figure out. Doing a full engine build is going to push my boundaries haha
This series has convinced me to put a halt to the 47rh swap and go with the g56. No one goes into the detail you do on these truck builds. I call dibs on the first one you decide to sell.
This is awesome! I’ve been watching the whole series, not too long ago I actually was wondering if anyones ever tried a g56 behind a 12 valve! One other cool thing you could do is swap a p pump onto it
Great series, youre very ggod at explaining things and i always appreciate someone who admits there mistakes to help others. I am baffled by one thing, knowledge tools and ability to do that kind of work and no bench vise? 🤣 i mean honestly first person in history to have a welder before a vise
Thanks for uploading this series. I will start on an NV4500 swap on my 1990 D250 soon. I will be swapping out my 727 torqueflight that has served me well. My truck has 410 gears in back and I currently have to floor it to go 75 on the high way. Also my truck lacks any sort of service records from the previous owner(s) have have no clue what the condition of my 727 is aside from giving me no trouble. The speedometer stopped logging miles at 157,000 and I have no clue how many miles are on my truck. But I estimate around 225K. The NV4500 I bought was remanufactured and has the 5th gear fixed. One issue you didn't have was the speedometer. Dodge has discontinued speedometer gears for the NV4500, and they been discontinued for a few years. Also, my Reman NV4500 tailhousing is not drilled for a gear driven VSS. Dodge went to a different system around 1997. I'm going to have to use a conversion unit that reads off my diff ABS sensor and converts that to usable data for my speedometer.
I had a 2006 2500 with the G56. I stuck with the ATF+4 in the trans and the truck had 190K miles on it when I sold it. My son bought the truck back from the guy I sold it to and it now has over 260K miles on it, still running the ATF+4 in the trans. The 50 weight will be fine too but people I have spoken to say that the transmission is a little slower to shift and requires a little more effort when it's very cold out with the 50 weight in it. Nothing wrong with either oil.
Great work Tim, your videos are great, thanks for looking into the camera and speaking loud and clear. Thanks so much. I would love to do a similar swap with my 6-speed Allison, swap it out for a 6-speed manual! Just love rowing gears. Also thank for including the part #s when you can, along with your choice of oils after all your research. Looking forward to your turbo upgrade 👌😀👍. See you next time.👌👋🏻✌🏻💚🌨 ❄⛄ 🇨🇦 😎.
Beautiful work Tim! You did an outstanding job and watching your videos give me more and more motivation to continue working on my two different project trucks. Love your truck and the G56 transmission. Btw your editing and quality of videos is 👌🏼
Yeah Tim, I don't think I will be swapping my automatic for a manual when the automatic dies. At least I won't be doing it but will leave it up to a mechanic. It looks good from what I can see, and I congratulate you on your work on that truck.
Super job. On the work and the video. Love the g56 swap in my 2nd gen was able to do it because someone had made a video it really helped. Your series will help a lot of people as well. Good job Tim.
Tim, that looks Great ! Turned out real Nice. It's on my list now 😉............You'll have to keep us posted on any issues you run into as time goes on. And of course a rematch 0-60 with Tyler. And mpg improvement and so on. I'm sure you already know we all wanna know. Great tutorial install. look forward to the price breakdown and finally are you going to swap in a standard tilt column for the auto column. Thumbs up !
Awesome Tim! loved the 3 parts, the camera and sound work is excellent, now I have to see if I can afford to do this to mine, lol, keep up the good work!
Awesome work man, couldn’t help but smile watching that first drive. I know the feeling of completing a big project like this, not many better feelings. I’m about to rebuild my CR 5.9, while it’s getting machined I’ll go through the G56, I might give hotshots fluid a try too. Let us know how you like the fluid!
Yeah there really is no better feeling. I'll do an update on the fluid for sure. It's crazy the polar opinions on literally every fluid option for this trans
Ack! Wish I'd seen that reverse pigtail number. Spent way too long online/junkyard looking for one. Anyway, starting my swap next weekend. 48re to G56. Can't wait! Your videos helped me pick the tranny as well given that extra boost of confidence.
I'll do it eventually but essentially you need to wire in a relay to the nuetral safety switch and have the relay be powered by something that does not get power in the crank position but does in the run position. The wipers would work. Then the truck always thinks the nuetral safety switch is plugged in but not engaged except when you crank. When you crank it think the nuetral safety switch is engaged. Hope that makes sense haha
Sweet...Would like to do that with my first gen D250 Cummins auto trans. That's a dream of mine, considered it but unlikely to undertake, maybe after retire?
Awesome to see it all come together but one thing that i would have done is switch the shifter from the g56 stick to the np435 as it has amazing ergonomics looks better then a straight stick but would prob have clearance issues with your console. Sick as can be though wish they came stock with a setup like this but hey first gen was amazing all on its own.
@@decentgarage you would prob be better off cutting it off and welding it onto the isolator but with my bench seat reverse has the knob maybe an inch away from the seat so it prob won't work for you but for longer drives it's better to have it in a more comfortable position
Dang brother. Do you have a plant in your backyard growing crew cabs? Seems like they're just falling in your lap. Anyway, sweet job on this swap. I was hoping a G56 could be installed on a 1st Gen. Been on my mind for some time now, and with your step by step precise video's, I might be able to make it happen. Looking forward to the next one.
Great job all the way through! I am in the middle of a 5600 swap in my son’s 92 w250 and it’s been so helpful to see your posts. The question I have is what did you have to do to connect all the transfer case shift linkage. Did I miss seeing it in your videos? When we removed ours I was pretty sure I was going to have to get creative to get it re-connected. Any tips or help would be appreciated! Thanks brother. And great job!
You didn't miss that. Luckily mine will not be too difficult. Charlie pitcher makes a tcase shifter mount for this guy swap in 1st gen so I'm waiting on that. I may have to shorten the rod slightly but that will be easy. Once i get that part in I'll include that in a video
Thank you so much for your videos on this swap. Do you have a part number for the inner boot that you tucked in under the floor on the shift tower. The boot that keeps the tranny venting from entering the cab.
First of all, nice work. When you described your experience in sourcing the clutch and brake pedal set, you used the phrase "1st gen." Just looking for clarification. Your pickup is 1985. "1st gen" is typically used to describe the first series of Cummins offered 1989-1993. Now my question: Is the clutch and pedal set the same from 1972-1993 in terms of compatibility? Have been toying with converting our '92 W250 to manual and have wondered what years to include in my search since many of the parts (aside from the drivetrain) on Dodge pickups are interchangeable 1972-1993. Thanks in advance.
Jerry this is a topic that gets brought up all the time. 89-93 is a 1st gen Cummins. 81-93 is a 1st gen ram. So they are both 1st gens in their own right. I'll leave it at that. Dodge started using hydraulic clutches in their trucks in 88 so pedal setups from 88-93 will work. Cheers 🥂
You know I forget your first name anyhow I think you did a real nice job and if you had a shop where you had your own lift and stuff like that you could probably quit your job and make more money doing what you’re doing you’re really good at what you do anyhow thanks for what you do first GEN dodge is a very good truck granted they can’t tow like the new ones and they don’t have a fancy interior like the new ones before they sure are more reliable in lot cheaper to own anyhow it’s a six in a row jim From Kennerdell a Pennsylvania
Great video, enjoy your channel no clickbait! Do you like the stock original bench seat layout? I'm only 5'7" so I believe the cab size and bench seat are ideal. Every time I sit in a 3rd gen or newer the cab is so big it feels like a space ship.
The reverse pig tale that I used is 680 32275AB. Mopar I think wire that into to reverse circuit. The center is the one I wired into my clutch safety switch. I added a bm short shifter to my truck.. I since done more work to my truck including cutting out the floor and welding in a floor out of a later model second gen for the 4x4 floor shifter and modify the floor to fit the lower shifter boot for the g56 . That made the cabin a lot quieter. The floor shifter for the 4x4 works good now after I changed one lever length and changed the rod length . What did you use for your upper shifter boot on the transmission Thanks for the videos
Great videos 👍I’m looking to do a an auto to manual swap on my 89’d150 with an NV3500 trans . Would you know how to modify the wiring so it won’t start in gear ? I have a clutch switch with the donor master clutch slave assembly but I noticed you couldn’t use it on your truck because you had to shorten the clutch rod
Did you change the firewall on the 85 cab? I’m running into issues with my 87. The bulkhead connector has to be moved over out of the way of the clutch master cylinder and there aren’t holes drilled for the master cylinder bracket inside to bolt in. 87 and back used mechanical clutch linkage, not hydraulic.
I used the 85 firewall but did have to move the bulkhead over about an inch to make room for the master cylinder. That's the only modification i had to make
I love your videos! You always do an awesome job. Hopefully someday I’ll get around to doing a 4x4 conversion on my d250. But I’d also love to get a 6 speed in my truck over the stock getrag! I don’t think you mentioned it, but where did you pick up your g56 from?
Love your content! Question for you based on my project, what is the overall length of the G56 from bell housing to transfer case output? I’ve shortened a 95 Ram 2500 frame with a Cummins down to a 106” wheelbase and plan to drop my 79 Ramcharger body on it. I’d like to do a manual swap before the body goes on and I can’t seem to find any info on length of either the G56 or NV4500/NV5600 trans. I’m trying to compare it to the current auto that came with the chassis so I have an idea just how messy the drive shafts will be.
I am swapping out the auto for a G56 on my 1998 24V Cummins 4x2. I have the transmission and pedals, working on collecting other parts. Shifter boots. . .do you get much engine and road noise emanating up throught the floor around the shifter? Since you just used the lower floor boot and skipped the upper, I am wondering if it's really needed to minimize noise into the cab.
I thought it was going to be super noisy but honestly my truck is quieter now than it was with the auto. I have new stronghold shift boots to install too
@@decentgarage That’s good to know! I googled last night and could only find the boot that goes on top, the piece with the long neck. Would you happen to have a part number for the lower? Or maybe if the piece you have would work, if you don’t plan to use it, I would be interested in buying it off if you.
@@decentgarage ok thank you just curious. How 'bout a short throw shift kit for the truck? I've always thought that would be cool but have no personal experience with the idea.
hello friend good afternoon I saw your videos they are interesting and I would like to know where I can buy parts for Cummins Diesel engine I am not a mechanic but I have a Diesel truck model 2004 × 4 automatic and I would like to teach me how to fix it thank you very much I would appreciate the information
Thanks to all those who stuck around and gave words of encouragement! Stay tuned to the end to see what we'll be working on next.

Absolutely love the build my guy! Currently doing a engine and trans swap in my 83 f150 love to watch it while I take a break!
Thanks Cade! Glad i can be of motivation to keep wrenching on your stuff.
Favorite quote of the series " We are in business!" 😂 Also great work! Can't wait for 0 to 60!
You're gunnu be waiting a while for a 0-60 🤣. Nah after i break in the clutch I'll see what I can do

Couldn’t you install the clutch switch on the master? That would eliminate the worry of starting in gear.
With how I've shortening the adjustable rod it doesn't fit. I've got another way to do it though that I'll be exploring
Very nice video and you did some great work Tim 😬💪🏻👍🏻

Nice tunes in the background. I'd like to know how to do the setup for the cruise control w/ neutral sensor delete.

Hi , what speed sensor did you use and where is it from ? Thx keep up with good job 👍🏻

Did you change the firewall on the 85 cab? I’m running into issues with my 87. The bulkhead connector has to be moved over out of the way of the clutch master cylinder and there aren’t holes drilled for the master cylinder bracket inside to bolt in. 87 and back used mechanical clutch linkage, not hydraulic.
I used the 85 firewall but did have to move the bulkhead over about an inch to make room for the master cylinder. That's the only modification i had to make
Nice job!
Thanks!
Great stuff! Front drive shaft length?
Front driveshaft didn't have to be modified at all 👍
Good job
I love your videos! You always do an awesome job. Hopefully someday I’ll get around to doing a 4x4 conversion on my d250. But I’d also love to get a 6 speed in my truck over the stock getrag! I don’t think you mentioned it, but where did you pick up your g56 from?
I'll talk about that in the next video. But i got it from a guy at a 1st gen meet i went to a few months ago
So cool
Thanks man!
Well done 😁🤙
Awesome to see you here Patrick!
Did you have to do anything with the axle gearing? Or are you gonna have to?
Nope, my 3.54 gears are a perfect match for this setup 👍
Love your content! Question for you based on my project, what is the overall length of the G56 from bell housing to transfer case output? I’ve shortened a 95 Ram 2500 frame with a Cummins down to a 106” wheelbase and plan to drop my 79 Ramcharger body on it. I’d like to do a manual swap before the body goes on and I can’t seem to find any info on length of either the G56 or NV4500/NV5600 trans. I’m trying to compare it to the current auto that came with the chassis so I have an idea just how messy the drive shafts will be.
Do you have info on body lift?
I talk about it back in the series of videos when i painted the truck. Let me know if you can't find it
What are your rpm going 70 mph on 6th gear?
In this truck at 70 it's right around 2k rpm
I am swapping out the auto for a G56 on my 1998 24V Cummins 4x2. I have the transmission and pedals, working on collecting other parts. Shifter boots. . .do you get much engine and road noise emanating up throught the floor around the shifter? Since you just used the lower floor boot and skipped the upper, I am wondering if it's really needed to minimize noise into the cab.
I thought it was going to be super noisy but honestly my truck is quieter now than it was with the auto. I have new stronghold shift boots to install too
@@decentgarage That’s good to know! I googled last night and could only find the boot that goes on top, the piece with the long neck. Would you happen to have a part number for the lower? Or maybe if the piece you have would work, if you don’t plan to use it, I would be interested in buying it off if you.
@@VMac822 i could not find them for sale new anywhere so luckily i found the shifter that had all the boots on it
What rpm are you running at 60 in 6th gear?
I'll check next time I'm out driving. I'm at 2100 rpm at 75
@@decentgarage ok thank you just curious. How 'bout a short throw shift kit for the truck? I've always thought that would be cool but have no personal experience with the idea.
@@darrellyoder2602 it'd be cool but they are $500 and honestly the stock throw is really good compared to a g360 or nv4500
@@decentgarage gotcha👌
