Nv4500. I can keep it out of 5th easy.
Ha. I missed that by a mile. I don't really know if the gear issue affects the manual transmission so much as it does the automatic. You would have to calculate the overall gear ratio in 5th to see what gear you could safely run but in terms of strain on the tranny, I don't know if it affects yours as much as the 4L60
The NV4500 is pretty beefy. I believe 5th gear is .73 (late model NV4500) I've slowly upgraded the running gear in the truck. It has a new CV driveshaft, the 14 bolt rear end is coming together, I'm prepping and painting a Dana 44 solid axle for the front. Once all that is in, I'll start rebuilding the LQ9 that's stirring in the other garage...that's the plan anyway.
