Planning on diesel swapping an '88 Ranger with a 4BT and an NV4500, by no means am I a professional, but I can't wait for the rest of this NV4500 build to help me out!!

Great info and thanks for all the part numbers. I just started the tear down of a v10 automatic 4x4 donor for my 12v cummins 2wd NV4500 to 4x4 conversion. I'll def be referring back to this series during that process. My truck is stock and i don't have plans of hot rodding it but i do want to keep it as reliable as possible and these upgrades will help with that. Looking forward to the rest of this build.

Keep it going! You helped me trouble shoot my NV4500 a few weeks back after I did my rebuild. Was having issues with 5th gear not disengaging, reached out to you via email and you pointed me in the right direction. Needed a new slider.

Thanks for the great info Andrew!!! Torque king does have the best parts I have bought from them before good stuff and their prices are a little higher but having to do the job again would cost more!

Eagerly waiting for part 2. Had my nv4500 for my 95 12 valve rebuilt by a "professional". It shifts worse now than it did beforehand and has turned into a loud, obnoxious excuse for a transmission.

Great video, i swapped my 98 12v from a 47re to nv4500 and it has 400k miles on it and hasnt given me any issue at 450hp. This winter i plan on common rail swapping my truck is there any upgrayou can recommend specifically to handle the power of the common rail engines when i start turning it up

@longrangegear 2 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, I can almost guarantee you start having issues if start modifying your common rail in front of an NV4500. These transmissions were never designed for the power that is now commonplace in the later 5.9’s. The factory torque rating is 460 ft-lbs… You can either be very careful with it (but what fun is that?!?) or start budgeting for an NV5600/G56/ZF6 swap.

Hello i was curious what brand/company you usually use to buy new gears from. Ive got my rear transmission housing opened up on my nv4500. Im looking to replace main and countershaft 5th gears and the main shaft at a minimum. Ive yet to fully yank the transmission as i was hoping it was the simple 5th gear nut issue. Unfortunately both 5th gears are completely toast so i gotta yank the whole thing and get to disassembly while i wait on those parts.

Do you recommend the carbon fiber synchros? Or the aftermarket brass synchros? I know the composite synchros require the better gear oil.

@longrangegear 4 ай бұрын

I do not like brass synchros in NV4500s. The carbon lines synchros are excellent and last a very long time with Redline MT-85.

What clutch do you recommend without breaking the bank for 550hp and 1200fp

@longrangegear 4 ай бұрын

The Valair dual disc organic quiet model all day!

@SmudgyContent 4 ай бұрын

I just need a main shaft. I snapped the output shaft. Rest the trans is in awesome shape. Just too many slams into an ice bank. Probably too many clutch dumps too. So if u could plz sell me a oe mainshaft 23 spline.

Give them a call tomorrow

@longrangegear 4 ай бұрын

I dont have any OEM shafts, I throw them in the garbage. The 23 spline main shaft is the light duty shaft and should be replaced with an HD unit such as the one pictured here, 29 spline. You can simply change the input in your transfer case to accommodate.
