propanemudtruck, I hear ya and it'll probably be a couple of years before I break even on the gas costs, but I love the lower first gear and the fact that I'm not winding it out at 60 mph anymore. I drive about 300-400 miles per week, half on the highway, so the extra gear is nice. even a one mpg increase is a ten percent increase so I guess we'll see. I did weigh the cost quite heavily before I committed to it. I just came into a great deal on the rebuilt tranny and transfer(700 bucks) the labor is what cost me. Unfortunately, my severely sloped driveway was no place for me to do the swap alone, so I had to enlist the help of a mechanic friend and his shop.
MTCK, I didn't get any pics of the swap, but suffice it to say...What a PITA, LoL. we had to mod the crossmember, shorten the driveshaft and change the yoke, plus some other little things like the kick-down cable bracket and transmission line routing.
As I have about 5 grand invested in the truck so far, I'm not too bad off. I don't have any car payments so I can "play" a little, thank God. Momma isn't too worried...yet
Not that I'm posting anything "for sale" but I do have a fully functional NP203 with the 4X2 conversion for anyone needing one and is willing to cover the shipping. I just need to get that heavy beast outta here, LoL.
