NV4500 question?

[Jake N]

I have a early 90's chevy one ton 2wd with a 5spd and was wondering if it could be a NV4500? Also, can I put it behind my 93 cummins 2wd?

 

[Blackout]

It could be a nv4500 but I believe the one used behind the cummins is considered an HD unit. as far as adaption goes I'm not sure. it can probobly be done pretty easy.

The dodge units use a bigger input shaft as well as a bolt pattern that is slightly different than the chevrolet. The '96 and up chevy trans has the dodge bolt pattern but still has the small input shaft. If you had the newer chevy trans you could just swap the 'shaft. Good Luck......Jason

yes its a nv4500 but you can't run it behind a cummins cause the input shaft is different and not interchangeable due to having a lower first gear.

Here is a kit that has everything but the pedal assy. and the starter to convert your 93 to a NV4500. Good luck!:rockwoot:

If only I had the money...

I have been told to be able to take a trans from a chevy it has to be from a 96 or newer.

Supposedly the chevy trannies don't have the 5th gear problem either.

The Chevy and Dodge NV4500's are the same for the most part. The only reason I have heard of that you can't use the Chevy 4500 is because the input shaft size is a 23 spline and the Dodge is a 29 spline. Other than that I dunno. I plan on doing this because I really need more gears for the highway and no one wants to tell me what I need to do to put a 47RH in my truck.:bang

the 92-95 chevys have a lower first gear, and different bellhousing mounting. they won't work on the cummins unless you use a chevy adapter, and then you're stuck with a weenie clutch. not worth the trouble. the chevy adapter alone is around $700.

 

[Mr.Diesel]

Peter 2 SBC can build you what ever clutch you want, and Blumenthal can up-grade the input shaft...

 

[K204DR]

can't upgrade the input on the 92-95 chevy ones.

There are a couple good writeups on swapping to a 47rh over on the DTR. Do you have a 727 now?
