88tlc thanks for the pics of the oil pan, I extended the bump stops for now until i get another pan to modify.
In my 40 i have the 4bd1t connected to a built 4l60E ( with Compushift) to my stock transfer. The little diesel is perfect in the 40 but i think it would under power any heavy rig. I cruise up 10% grades at 65 but i can't keep the converter locked. The low end torque is great, I've only been brave enough for full throttle start once and my tires broke free on the shift to second.
I don't have pyro, boost , or tach yet so i can't give numbers. Overall i like the diesel better than the chevy V8 I had, its quieter and less heat in the cab. I just wish it had a little more top end power and a little better fuel mileage. I like the auto but this engine might work better (better economy) with a manual.
When I get all the gauges in I'll start turning up the fuel screw and see what happens. I have other details to fix first. For now I'm happy to be driving it everyday to work.
