Hey folks,
I got a dilemma. I recently picked up a 95 Dodge 1 ton Cummins with an Nv4500 2WD. I am going to use this setup for my 4wd 4l80E Chevy repower. So far, the plan is swap the main shaft, rebuild the trans at the same time (and fix 5th gear), and put a 4wd tail housing on it. I figure I should be able to do this for around 500-600 dollars, labor done by me. Only thing I cant seem to find is what main shaft to use, a Dodge or Chevy, for the BW 4401 case in my Chevy now. I figured I would use the Chevy tailhousing to bolt to the BW. Has anyone done this or who would know?
Also, does anyone know if ebay kits are any good? My NV has started whining pretty bad at 40-50+ in 4th or 5th gear, so I'm assuming a few of the bearings are probably bad.
This is the first time I've ever really played with all these parts, so I'm still learning what shaft can slide into what hole
Thanks!
