Q: on mon 09 jul 2007 064544 -0700 miles nope@nopers.com wrote roy wrote you may very well be correct. i guess it is how you look at it and what you are comfortable with. ill be moving from a car that gets 17-19 on the highway and around 15 in the city. also it requires premium fuel. so until the dust settles from the move and i know exactly where we are at it looks pretty good. people are interested in mpg for one reason. to save money. but if the higher mpg cars cost more than the gas savings then its simply not economical no matter how high the mpg of they hybrid. so far in almost all cases a 100% gas economy car is a better deal if the reason for buying is to save money. hybrids dont save money. but they do help not putting as much money in the ragheads pockets. beekeep .

on jul 15 500 pm tbone tbonenos...@nc.rr.com wrote z88z wrote project - replace the 46re in my 98 5.9/auto/4wd zj with a 5spd from a 98 5.9/5spd/4wd ram or dakota build is for street performance not off road use. probably wont be mega horsepower maybe 400 at most. slightly confused on the crank/flywheel/trans issue. 1. the 5.2 is external balance the 5.9 is internal so they use different flywheels but the mopar site shows one flywheel p/n# for 5.2/5.9l and a different flywheel p/n# for the 5.9 magnum. so a used flywheel would have to come from a 5.9 magnum and not the stock 5.9 2. are the 5spd models different depending on whether the truck has a 5.2 a 5.9 or a 5.9 magnum 3. i believe im looking for an nv3500 or is it the nv3550 what are the horsepower ratings and which years will fit the nv4500 is bullet proof but has a granny 1st and is more suitable for off road use 4. how can i tell which vehicles have close ratio 5. does the v8 dakota have the same drivetrain and 5 speed models as the ram 6. anyone installed a 5spd into an obdii mopar vehicle that originally came with an auto 7. can my jeep pcm be reflashed so its not looking for auto trans inputs or can i reflash the pcm from a 5.9/5spd/4wd ram with my vin and mileage or whatever i cant pass ma vehicle inspection with a cel on. any help is appreciated. the answers dont have to be too long or involved. mostly looking to clarify the flywheel/trans model issue. thanks. john thanks reverend and steve ok im getting somewhere now but still have a few questions. kind of a three steps forward one step back process. last engine questions is there non-magnum gas 5.9 also or are all the 5.9 motors after 1994 or so either magnum or diesel do not confuse the 5.9 diesel with the 5.9 gas engine they are two very different animals. the 5.9 diesel is the cummins engine and it has nothing in common tith the dc 360 magnum gas engine. i doubt that they would make the a engine once the magnum engine cam out. i believe the 6cyl and 8cyls have the same bellhousing to block bolt pattern. is the diesel 5.9 the same too the 5.2 and the 5.9 gas engine have the same bolt pattern. so im finally figuring out the nv4500 was the only a manual transmission available behind any kind of 5.9 and that was a diesel 5.9 that would be incorrect. the nv4500 sat behind the 5.9 gas engine as well. anyone know if a 5.9 to nv4500 bellhousing would fit an nv3550 nope. the nv4500 has a removable bellhousing while the nv3500 is a one piece unit. highimpact shows an ax15 bellhousing for adapting an nv3550 to the 5.2 & 5.9. if you get the dodge version it already fits both motors. http//www.high-impact.net/transmissionandgear/nv3550chrysler%205... thats hard to figure. you can use a trans from a wrangler behind a 5.9 but the trans that come behind a 5.2 isnt strong enough for the 5.9 this is where i got the flywheel info i was talking about. it mentions two 5.9s page 132 http//www.mopar.ca/accessories/performance/2007%20performance%20cata... http//www.mopartsracing.com/parts/trans.html and an interesting quote about using the nv3500 from notchlx at bionicdodge the transmission has an integrated bellhousing and its rated for 300ft/lbs of torque. it uses a hydraulic clutch system. good for your leg these units are a mid-grade transmission that does remarkably well in a stock application. however once the power is turned up on these suckers you might want to pick up a spare. i ran at 320rwhp and 375rwtq for over 10000miles and bolted on slicks once a week for a year with 3000rpm clutch drops and never had a single problem out of mine... the clutches went before the tranny gave any signs of disintegration. the centerforce dual friction clutch holds up pretty good to the added power and is definitely a lot more crisp on the shifts than the stocker. others havent been as lucky. ive heard of people blowing out their 5spd with little to no mods depends on what kind of day they were having at the new ventures shop on the day your transmission rolled out. plenty of people are running modded 318 287 360 and 408 engines in front of these units with good results however the general consensus says o-young padowan play with fire and you will be burned eventually it sounds like this person was using it in a car which does put a little less strain on the transmission. reverend - im familiar with early zj 5spd parts. thats what i was planning on. i think xj pedals work too. i believe the swap could be done using the original console though. i have a few interior pix from someone who did the 5.9 5spd zj conversion with an nv4500. doesnt look like he cut the tunnel heard a rumor some later zj export diesel models had manual trans so that could be a possible pedal and console parts source but i havent looked into that yet

tbone wrote how many hybrids do you own tom none yet. figures. how many gas guzzlers one but i dont have much choice right now. not so. you made the choice in what you need. nobody made the choice for you. you own a gas guzzler and no hybrid but you whine that people need to buy hybrids to save the enviroment. put up or shut up tom! more spin and bullshit. while i dont currently own one im not trying to talk people out of doing the right thing when they can unlike you. i think people should buy economy cars. when buying cars in general people have always looked to get the most for their money. i bought a dodge caliber and got rid of my gas guzzler ram. what have you done yourself when i need to purchase a new vehicle fuel economy will be a big issue and not just for the few cents a week it might save me. what about you i already did what you only talk about. my truck was paid for. my car has a payment. the gas savings wont pay for the cost of my caliber. what about you tom all talk. as for al i have no idea what he own or how he lives his life but he does make every effort to let people know what can happen if nothing is done. true he does say that. but he lives a high style polluting life owns gas guzzler cars lives in a huge mansion that sucks up power uses a massive fuel guzzling polluting jet for much of his transportation needs...typical liberal all talk about what others should do and not them. miles i believe the technical term for that is hypocrisy. mike .

miles wrote people are interested in mpg for one reason. to save money. some people ... not all people. buying is to save money. hybrids dont save money. they save some money depending on the manufacturer cost of hybrid option varies and how it is driven. however dare i open this can of worms many forward thinking people that purchase hybrids do so because it saves $$ on fuel. less fuel is burned resulting in lower air/water pollution. this helps with *hidden* costs that you have not factored in like cleaning the water and air tax dollars that have been polluted by combustion engines. another hidden cost is doctor visits insurance/out-of-pocket for allergies or respiratory illness including cancer irritated or *caused* by particulate matter in the air stirred up or created by combustion engines. these hidden costs increase every year. also hybrids require less maintenance. the engine doesnt run all of the time. this doubles sometimes triples the savings over the life of the vehicle. fewer oil changes filter air/fuel/oil. tires on hybrids are typically much smaller and cheaper than its regular full combustion counterpart. to save money and the environment in order walk or bike public transit all electric vehicles hybrids. craig c. well.... maybe..... before yall jump on the hybrid bandwagon a visit to this website might prove illuminating... http//www.cnwmr.com/nss-folder/automotiveenergy/ as in all the hype about global warming things arent always as they seem..... tink sound of worm can opening mike .
