He had it in the booth when we worked the Expo East trade show with him.I see Quickdraw is doing a TR4050 kit. https://quickdrawbrand.com/product/...th-tr4050-4x4-and-complete-adapter-kit-lt230/
Have you seen this or worked out how to fit it? It gives a lot nicer gearing for off road work and should be very strong.
Sure, once I win the lottery...You are welcome and encouraged to do so.
I'm living on a different planet where these trucks are beaters. I scrounge junkyards for parts.Given the value of these trucks...
It will be nice once there is a complete DIY package. I think that is holding a lot of people back.
I had posted in this thread that wasn't likely to happen a few months ago, primarily for the reasons given above. Inventory carrying cost for a low volume item that most would prefer a professional install.Okay. You had said at one point that conversion parts or kits were planned to be sold through a retail parts vendor. I was still thinking that was happening. I guess it is not.
I just read this again, but I’m still a little confused.
with an r380 stumpy and lt230 do you still use the lt77 floors driveshafts and T/C mounts?

If a truck was built with any 4 cyl gas or diesel up through a 200tdi we are now using a long shaft version of the HD (clarifying -300 tdi version since there are 3 long variants)R380. This keeps the lt230 in the original position for that application which is behind the front of the seat box. By using the long version of the transmission the engine is pushed far enough forward that it clears the bulkhead nicely but is also nicely behind the LHD steering box. By doing this the original driveshafts, floors and tunnel are all retained. We use the stumpy for trucks that have r380 seatbox, floors and tunnel. We suggest a new steering box and fuel tank @ time of conversion.
Going forward we will be swapping all the R2.8's we install over to the different front cover that Chad discovered (credit where credit is due) that Cummins supplies with the engine in other parts of the world. This front cover is for a spin on oil filter and gets rid of the remote oil filter setup and making lines for ea truck we do. The bottom of the spin on filter is flush with the bottom of the oil pan when installed. The filter location is nicely behind the axle so oil changes will be clean and easy.

Yes. The issue has been the correct program or "tune".That's awesome, using some kinda of standalone controller?
