Got the NV, the journey went smooth. This thing is a beast of a unit, way more beefy in person then the mental image you get online. I crawled underneath and it looks like the front driveshaft will clear, but will probably have two inches of clearance. Probably good enough not to hit. Let me...

Liking the Firefly references you got going on there! I'm game for whatever date we choose, but as late as possible, I want at least a fighting chance of having my NV4500 installed. Will

Ok thanks....and I have the release fork and the external slave itself so I could use them as an example. I'll check it out sometime this week.

I don't have the bell so that is good/bad if I need to go that route. I've heard from a few including Southdave on this forum that it isn't an issue. I guess we'll find out. I don't really want to lift the truck because I don't plan on changing tires and don't want to change the look/function...

External Slave 1995.

Alright so I'm getting my 1995 NV4500 this weekend. I have everything else except bell at that point. You guys mention the front driveshaft clearance. Will it clear stock as I've been told? Will

I will be there this year. I've been on MV off-roading withdrawal for the past year. I might also have the NV4500 installed in time. I'm picking it up this weekend. Will

Just a small update for you guys: I got the pedal assembly, clutch hydraulics with pre-modified line, and the flywheel. The truck had 450,000 miles so it has some clutch pedal shaft wear, I'll weld that up no problem. I also got an underhood light from a GMT400 and the 2WD crossmember, It might...

10-4 I'll pick up the bell and related stuff. It was from a diesel. I'd do the swap but the parts alone are like half the cost of the right transmission. So I figure, just get the right part to start. Will

I don't know how much. I would get it but I need a 4WD one of course, and I think it is pretty complex to convert it. Correct me if I'm mistaken. (I'd love to just get everything for the swap now!) I'll ask how much. I guess I'll get the bell then. Will

Alright so I have a lead on every part I need for the swap. However the trans is a 2wd, so I wont be getting that. But would it be worth it to pick up the bellhousing (it is from a 6.2), it is unknown whether it is an internal or external slave. Either way, should I get it or just wait until I...

So it would have worked if lock washers were used? I'll keep that in mind. I mean if it is properly secured I cant see the screaming 150 HP breaking the mount haha Will

Thanks for the further info, I'm still trying to source the parts. These NV's are like gold.... Interesting that you broke a custom made one. Did it include a factory style rubber mount? Will

Haha alright thanks! That is pretty much what I expected modification wise. That is going to be a sick M1028 when you are done. It will take me a while to gather all of the parts for this swap, but it will be well worth it. Will

Awesome thanks for the information! So I can use any transmission more or less, that really opens up the search for transmissions. Your modification to the crossmember is exactly what I plan on, if I cant find the 700-R4 one. The shifter is also not a problem - Just put an aftermarket shifter...

You can use an external slave NV4500 on a bone stock M1028 without driveshaft issues? A hole needs to be cut for the shifter, anything else - clearance for what exactly? What mods to the 4wd shifter? I was planning on just using a square stock tube to mod the crossmember, if I cant find the...

So with some more searching I found that external slave is a problem. So one can either use a GM internal slave set up for a GEN 1 engine, or get the advance adapters kit. Both are '96 up options. I think that is my best bet. Will

Hello, I'm interested in installing an NV4500 into my '86 M1028. I feel Like I have read every article available online and on SS but still cannot find this answer. Will the install work in a completely stock truck? Mainly with the external slave to front driveshaft clearance, that seems to be...

My friend and I had a great time at the show! It was our first time attending, and sadly my M1028 wasn't there (isn't ready yet). Thanks to everyone who made the event happen. [thumbzup] I picked up a lot of stuff needed to finish the truck, hopefully next year it'll be there. I met some cool...

I will be there Saturday morning in my M1028. Unless something changes that it. I will also have two passengers. Will
