Idk much about the motors but the zf5 is a great tranny, I love mine, as bullet proof as they come

I just need overdrive this time around man. 55 mph on the highway just won't cut it anymore.

god i hate country music

You don't know how to gear?


But yes the od is very nice, especially with 39's lol

4.11 dana 60 and an np435 dude....omg.

435s are brutal, does it pop out of third? Lol


I have 2 of them in the shop they been on cl for months for 50$ a piece and no one wants them lol

May build a junk/spare parts crawler with it lol

i sold that man. when i moved to japan. starting fresh. im gonna pickup another 78 probs. just this setup is going in it. my 435 had no issues. miss it for around town, till i had to stop at the pump.

Hurt my feelers buba forgot about me

Anyways to stay on topic. As mentioned these do have head gasket issues. Not a huge problem. You can fix these without removing the cab like the shit.0

To sum up the truck for you:

The transmission is bullet proof. If it ever breaks behind a non turbo idi please call me. I'd love to hear the "hold my beer and watch this shit" story as to how you did it.

The motor has the power of a 200k mile non-maintained 305 tpi, Smokes like a bogged down mac and sounds like a heard of 12 valve cummins during a cold start. Other than the head gaskets. they really dont make enough power to hurt them selves. Not quite as reliable as the 7.3L due to the higher compression but still pretty sturdy.


P.S. It will ride like a fucking lumber wagon as well. the 64 leafs they put in the springs are pretty unforgiving

Country music nowaday is nothing but pop music.


No wonder Johnny Cash died. I blame the music industry for producing trash like above.

Its not trash. Its changed like every other genre of music.
