How does OD and lock up work? One switch for both or are they separate? I buggered up my Cummins van when the TPS went bad. I had two switches, one for each, and boy you knew it when I forgot to shut it off. LOL

There are a couple ways of hooking it up, I went simple toggle to get started with then maybe a couple solenoids later. For now both grounds are connected to the brake light switch so it releases at least for emergency slow down.

That's a great idea, I wish I thought of that with mine. A Cummins motor will NOT stall out when you fail to disengage lockout and you try to stop.

The drive shaft was shortened 7 inches, and balanced.

Transmission is in and working great. Just need to fine tune my drive line angles, it has a very slight vibration at around 60 that I don't think I had before. I made the transmission mount to where you can shim up or down some so that will make it easy.

I see why now, I really like mine with 3.23 also now I have some miles on it.

I was chasing a vibration after my swap, I swore was the converter well I was wrong. Yesterday I found it to be the poly transmission mount that I used, I put a rubber #2360 one on and all fixed. The whole car feels better now I am very happy.

Just hit 1000 miles with new transmission swap and am very happy, no leaks in the engine or trans. I need one tooth smaller speedo gear put in then do a mpg check, I know it still won't be great mpg but better than it was and saving high rpms on my 340 at the same time.

1000 miles already? Boy you sure drive a lot!
Does that mean you need a hotel reservation for Carlisle 2017? Huh?
