Thanks for the feedback! The reason I don’t do a welded nut, and the heart shaped design is so that they are reversible so they can be used with B&M/TCI shifters & PPP shifters. Welding on a nut would mean there would be 2 different designs for the different style shifters and wouldn’t allow any adjustment for cable orientation.
Just as I was thinking of this for my truck… wayyy back since your Utah videos… and now you drop a solid video on this 👍🏼 Sweet content man! Do your thing and move at your pace.
I'm guessing I am a decade older but don't ever stop telling it like you see it. I really love your content and value your opinion. I have a 2005 Ram 3500 single tire quad cab long box 'Clifford the big Red Dodge' (278k miles) with PDD valve springs and pushrods, SXE472 compound kit, air dog, Fleece 10mm stroker CP3, industrial injection 45% over injectors, Fleece coolant bypass, NV5600 with Valair twin disk organic towing clutch... and I will need to rebuild my T-case soon because it's leaking pretty good from the front drive line output shaft seal. Your video on the T-case rebuild is going to save the day!!! Thank you!!!!
Awesome video content as always. Don't worry about people complaining about not seeing every little thing you do. Maybe they should come hold the camera for you. You put out way more useful information then any other Chanel. Greg A is fun to watch but for real information I come to you and you always provide a good time.
Nice. Here I am with a mystery switch and using the column shifter. G56 swap someday with continued stock power. Appreciate your work and effort to share.
LOVE IT... got my DPC triple disc converter couple days ago was thinking "should i jsut throw it in or do the manual valve body with it." **Video drops** well that decides that lol. thanks for the solid info man. i think my whole drivetrain is built with your videos now lol
Been waiting on this one! Interested to hear your thoughts on towing with a FMVB. Really not wanting to shell out the coin for a built 68, so I'm strongly considering a 48 FMVB swap for my '16. And, you're only about 3.5 hours from me (NC).
Great content as always. Definitely have a lot of control with the FMVB. Very interested to see how the towing duties go with it. I've already got an nv5600 truck as a tow piggy, so I already enjoy shifting. My biggest thing I want is an exhaust brake to go with it and compounds. I'm guessing a modded 351 with a s475 or s480 would be a good setup on that for towing. Have you ever run any of the DPS turbonator set ups? That would be an interesting set up to see in there for the exhaust brake/vgt functionality they offer.
Towing wise I will never go back to a reg vb. Get stuck once and fall under the charger on a hill and have the safety’s in the vb always grab the next gear too soon and snuff out the charger and you end up stuck in 2nd or third locked when you know you could get it back up into fourth if it would do what you told it too do. Lol. Happened once coming out of Vegas. Never again. I call them half and half’s though and I really like those for daily’s/towing. In third it will run like a auto, but you turn off the gear shift safety’s so it will go to 2,1 anytime and stay till you change gears. Take lock up and od away from the pcm. Absolute dream to drive. But maybe im partial. I have been a fmvb guy since highschool lol. Killer video!!!!
I would love to see that 472 over the savage fab 351. That's only because my truck will have a very similar setup. But mine has the fleece lift pump and an nv5600. Sorry for being a little greedy lol. Keep up the awesome work fella.
Very helpful im doing a 96 12v 47re fmvb swap into a chevy. 1 I adjusted the cable from park an had it jump into reverse while i was under it an 2 im running the ecm pmc tcm what ever it is for the tach an speedo an had the lock up an od wires to toggles an grounds i was relaying on the computer for the 12v for pin 1 but... with the gov pressure sensor unplugged that didnt work ran it to fused keyed power an got my od an lock up to work 3 im running pretty much the same line pressure setup but was running off a different port...ftw thanks for the info
Stealth 64 or whichever one Calibrated Power is manufacturing and redesigned to replace to factory 4th gen air spinny squishy device, then you get an exhaust brake for towing as well
I mean you definitely have some points about the 7.3 but I feel like it depends on what kind of person you’re if you want reliability I feel like the 7.3 tops all I mean it’s proven itself now if you want something fast and quick witch you can do to a 7.3 to some point but that point is definitely lower than other trucks also before I got a 7.3 I knew nothing about diesel’s and it taught me so much so I definitely feel it’s a easy truck to work on
Awesome video!!!! Let us know how you like it especially for those of us at the low HP 😒 level. I really want to install one of these. I have always wanted a “manual” truck and see this as the next best thing 😂. Is PDD good place to get a MVB from? Do you guys offer them? I have PDD 650hp trans. Still be ok to run a MVB? Thanks Adrian
Other than cool feature, is there a purpose for converting to this? Just curious, never seen anything like this before. Also any drawbacks to installing one of these? Thanks!
Great video ..Would that work with the 03 f350 automatic ? I know you guys have a 6.0l as well but our trans would be the same would they not ? The 510 re
Gah I would love to have that , I had the exact! Truck !! And when family members passed I had to sell my 06 Mega Cab 4x4 6Spd and it had the dark blue paint job can’t remember rn what Mopar called it but it was beautiful! I miss it I hope one day I can afford another because now I have a family and the mega cab! Would be Fn great lol there’s my 06 story some will understand 😅
Just curious, what happens if you forget to unlock over drive and shift down to second? Is the valving setup in a way to prevent that from happening or is it something you just have to pay attention to and not forget?
Ok, I have to know, how is it tuned to be able to show up on the dash and reverse lights. Currently having to run my truck with a manual tune, so I no gear selector on dash.
7.3 doesn't need billet heater/ac flaps tho. Last time I checked, Cummins guys swapping in a 4r100 transmission is an actual thing that happens. But serious, is the actual cost of getting a 12v to 600hp vs a 7.3 to 600hp all that different, all things considered?
I can't seem to find a -4an to 1/4in fitting and the part numbers in the video don't seem to bring anything up. I think I've found everything else in the video, just can't find that one fitting
Wish my 47re shifted that smooth, it bangs going into each gear unless I’m at the perfect low rpm range say 1800 rpm and locking the converter from 1-2 2-3 is rough as all get out😒
@@horsetorquesdiesel tv cable was removed sense it said it was a constant flow converter 150 psi unlocked and 190 psi locked. In drive not moving I have 130 psi. I haven’t adjusted or messed with the valve body parts yet

I'm with you on those power strokes....who wants to snatch the cab off on something so simple when you can have a Cummins and get to any regular maintenance item in minutes.
I have a feeling it has nothing to do with my VB but when I replaced mine, Ive had a bitch of a time getting mine to read park without having my alarm go off when I leave my door open… pisses me off when I go to hook up my trailers

I'm kinda lost.. am I missing something really big here? All you did was move your shifter linkage and the bottons from factory? The truck was full manual before you did that? is this is what a manual swap looks like? Because you didn't even change anything. You relocated factory controls? And the you even said the factory cable works better then the one you installed? Wtf are you guys smoking?
I’ll try to explain. I ran a new harness for LU and OD The shifter comes with a new cable which I installed. Instead of removing all the factory stuff I left it in case I want to switch back. The factory controls do not allow for LU or OD control when you want only when the ecm commands it. I don’t understand how you are not getting it
@@horsetorquesdiesel ya, that makes sense I was just unsure how you shifting it vs the computer was any different. Why not just program the computer to shift right now instead of tomorrow.
Jeez man a bit insensitive, you can't talk that way these days. I wouldn't mind a 6.4 truck to swap a Cummins into. Or if I had a lift I wouldn't mind a 6.0 if it was free.

Whats the part number on the ol b&m shifter if you dont mind sir?
Doing a 7.3 reseal while I listen to this. 😂😂😂😂😂 Caught me off guard.
Just out of curiosity how do I retain the range selector like you did during a FMVB swap? I would like my dash to work like yours.
Find a tuner that has CAC in that function
Hey man, I know this is an older video so I hope this reaches you. I noticed you don't have a TTVA? is it not required when you have a FMVB?
I do have it: figured out how to make it work on a FMVB
Nice ride
So does this have the same advantages as a manual transmission??
Do you happen to have a part number on that shifter I’m wanting the one like that without switches because I’m wanting to run the tier one buttons
Can't run the b&m shifter with tier one handle/buttons. Tier one is for ppp shifter
Ok, I have to know, how is it tuned to be able to show up on the dash and reverse lights. Currently having to run my truck with a manual tune, so I no gear selector on dash.
