Adding the clutch throwout arm/bearing. Ran into an issue when I realized I had a internal slave cylinder version of the NV4500. So I had to buy a new bearing retainer with a nose that the throwout bearing could ride on

What parts did you use for the power windows and power locks modifications?

Had a similar issue with my H55F throw-out bearing behind my R2.8.

Hello,
I hope I didn't cheap out too much on the power window..
Amazon product ASIN B01791WUTG
At least they have good reviews.
Here's the keyless entry. Yikes! Ratings have plummeted since I bought these. Hopefully they work for a while..

What diameter is your front drive shaft???
I'm thinking of trying a 2" or smaller hoping that will clear the oil pan. I 'm pretty sure with the aluminum pan you have to relocate the dip stick from driver side to the passenger side where a lot of stuff is in the way and not much to attach to.

I think it's about 2.5" maybe 3"?
Also! The oil pan I got has dip stick receivers on BOTH SIDES. I just looked at Sean's and he's got both spots for the stick.. They must have changed the design since the last casting.. I think. I'll check tonight
If you need pics of my oil pan or exact measurements on the drive shaft let me know and I'll send them over
Yes if you have pics please send them. Please let me know if the dip stick can remain on drivers side and I order mine. I can always have the aluminum pan modified and TIG welded to clear driveshaft if needed. Sean thought his aluminum pan would clear driveshaft without modifying. Let me know what you find out.
Thanks

Hey man,
I just emailed you some pics. Hopefully I'll be fitting the oil pan soon so I can let you know if the dip stick works on both sides. If anyone else needs pics of the aluminum oil pan let me know
Why not just post the pics in this thread?
Please let me know aboiut that oil pan as soon as you can, Cummins is terrible about running out of product. Right now the dipstick for the aluminum pans is "Out of Stock".

Not boring for us guys who are looking for an R2.8 oil pan.
Thanks I couldn't access pics you emailed me, glad you posted here. Yeah looks like pan will provide dip stick install on driver side. Gonna order mine now before their out AGAIN.
Yeah, I've been thinking about one but I'd like to get a little further in the build to see how close the composite pan will be. Either way, I'll have to make a skid plate.

So you have a 96+ GM NV4500. What bearing retainer are you now using? What input shaft are you now using?

Did you ever research the reversible sump oil pan for fit?

Unfortunately that would bring the pan too close to the diff. It's dangerously close the way it is now
