The Dakota Digital SGI-100BT and the w terminal on the alternator. Great little unit for all types of swaps.How are you measuring the rpm’s on the dash?

I thought I was the only one! Sounds like an awesome build, though I am still planning to do a 48re swap at some point and hopefully have no clearance issues. The body lift makes a lot of sense thoughWow... another 6bt / 47RH.
I am just buttoning up my build since starting last year.
6bt from a 93 dodge, and a Gear Vendors 47RH. Used the same Axis adapter.
I have a 2" body lift, and didn't have to massage the firewall. I did have Tcase clearance with the 2" body lift, but I have considered dropping the tcase 1/2" and cutting 1/2" out of the body lift as well.
The body lift did help. Plus I have 37's to mount up to get my ratios more highway friendly.I thought I was the only one! Sounds like an awesome build, though I am still planning to do a 48re swap at some point and hopefully have no clearance issues. The body lift makes a lot of sense though
Oh... And I also had to massage my factory fuel tank to fit. It didn't take too much to get it all with about 3/8" clearance everywhere, but it was tight.The body lift did help. Plus I have 37's to mount up to get my ratios more highway friendly.
I was a bit concerned with the shaft engagement of the 47RH to the adapter as its a bit short. I had considered facing off the adapter 3/16" to gain some engagement, but in the end left the Axis adapter as it was. Sealed the drain with RTV.
Did you have any concerns with this? Anything different you did when you joined the 47RH to Axis to the factory Tcase ?
I also used the factory shifter, and made an arm / linkage to shift the tcase. Took a lot of measuring to get the throw correct for all the gears. I also attempted to use a cable, but that was even worse.

I did the same exact thing with the adapter. I understand that shaft engagement might be an issue, however because I'm not pushing much power I don't think about it. I'm also not a serious off roader so I can't imagine that it'll be too stressed.The body lift did help. Plus I have 37's to mount up to get my ratios more highway friendly.

I might be interested in that adapterI’ve got a 6bt to A442/343 adapter I’d sell you.
Shoot me a PM with your number if you don’t mind, and I’ll get back to you.I might be interested in that adapter
