Anyone try the OM648? It was only in the US for 2005-2006 and was a common rail engine or CDI. I'm working on a deal to get one with 90,000 miles but it's coming from a front end collision car. Owner is a Benz repair shop owner that I befriended...

little late on this but still got the pump?

Seeing more on these ZF's as well. Trans price might be lower but adding adapters and TCU's jacks the price. Think I like the ZF better than the GM 8 speed though. All about reliability but not having to buy an adapter is in the GM trans favor. I...

I saw their site as well, also curious.

I've seen a few videos recently about the ZF 8 speed transmission being used to replace the trans in LCs in AUS. A couple of companies have their foot in but here a quickie from wink 4x4. 360 gearboxes is working on a day kit for the 80...

Word. If we're dreaming a ZF 8HP70 is better than anything GM makes.

Just FYI if anyone is curious like I was after reading about this: https://wink4x4.com/8-speed-conversion/

Has anyone in IH8MUD world tackled successfully a conversion of a A442f (bus tranny) to utilise the more refined ZF 8HP70x slush box? Am keen to compare notes before tackling the task. am accumulating gear at the moment and have my new to me ZF...
