Great video was very helpful and gave me confidence on being able to do the swap in my garage. thank u sr

RockAuto has the best list for figuring out the correct length driveshaft, in case anyone else was having a hard time.

Just blew apart my E40D this morning and was immediately excited that I finally have the greenlight to manual swap it. Awesome vid, thanks for making this, i might report back with a couple questions in the next couple weeks as I gather parts lol

I have a 97 4x4 with the 7.3 e4od. Bought it eight years ago with 220,000 miles on it, hooked a 10,000lb. Fifth wheel RV behind it and drove it non-stop from NY to western Montana (over the continental divide at Homestake pass) and have driven the absolute balls off of the truck every day since without any servicing at all. About once a year i look at the dipstick to make sure it still has fluid in it. It has never slipped, leaked or smelled burnt. In that same time my two other 5spd. Powerstrokes have had one blow up and need replaced, and the other needed a clutch.

LUK for the win!! I have used those on all of my 7.3s with severe use, towing, power upgrades, etc... I have never had one fail. No need for a Southbend $600 Clutch.

If you use the zf harness on the transmission but not the engine bay do you lose cruise control? Also if you use the auto steering column?

This is absolutely the video we all needed! Looking to do this swap next week on my 7.3, I just can't seem to get a PCM. If I wanted to keep the pcm, what would I need to do, other than jump the pins 4-12. I'd assume I'd keep the trans harness and just splice it and would it still have cruise control, 4X4 light and reverse lights? Would it drive different since the original PCM has a different fueling pattern or is that just related to the trans harness?

I know I have to find a 4x4 ZF5/flywheel, pressure plate, new clutch, but the existing front drive shaft should bolt right up- correct? Other than that, anything else you can think of that I will need? It should be easier since I'm replacing the entire cab, pcm, and wiring.

Hey there, great screen name and avatar, by the way! 🤣 The drive shafts will swap, provided that both trucks had the same transmission (auto vs manual). The transmissions are about 3.625" different in length so the front won't be the same unless they were both manual trucks. In my opinion, it isn't worth the added effort and expense to do a ZF6 swap versus the ZF5. The only real difference is the addition of a creeper gear (LO) in the ZF6. Being as yiur truck is a 4x4, if you need a crawler gear, it's only as far away as a shift to 4 low. Swapping the cab and harnesses will make it a lot easier to switch from gas to diesel, for sure! You'll also need to swap the rear harness for the selector valve, the selector valve, fuel lines, tank sending units (or modify the gas ones to work without the in-tank fuel pumps), and the fuel filler necks (bigger opening for the diesel pump). Good luck with your project! Sounds like you've got a great start.

I put (non resistor) LEDs in my tail lights thinking it wouldn't affect the trans (since it's a manual) and now my cruise doesn't work unless I have trailer lights connected to the truck. I also get a faint glow out of the tail lights any time the truck is running (even if the lights aren't on). I need the resistors too! Good luck with the truck, they're worth preserving!

I would remove the lines and aux cooler if it were me.

Is there any way we could get in contact? I have some questions about the wiring and i just want to make sure i can understand everything before i start working on swapping it.

Sorry, man. It's been long enough since I made this video that I'd just be quoting the video to you at this point. I don't remember much aside from what is recorded here.

@@diymechanictv1233Ahh dang. Do you remember if you had a manual pcm? I ask because you say in the video you need a jumper for the truck to start but if i have a manual pcm i wouldnt need to do that right?

@@stephentran5007 Not exacty. There are two main differences between an auto and a manual wiring. One is the clutch safety switch (so you can't start it in gear) and the other is that the auto PCM is looking for the TRS (Transmission Range Sensor). You have to account for both. It sounds like you're planning to do that by changing the PCM to a manual (which isn't looking for the TRS) and then you'll either install the clutch safety switch or by jumpering it out (not recommended since that would allow the starter to engage with the truck in gear and the clutch engaged).

No, the speedometer runs off a sensor in the rear end.

It's a nice truck either way, there was one around Memphis that had the same body (and paint). Had a flatbed on it so I figured it was the same truck :)

what kind of headache would getting a ecm from a manual truck save me?

Fueling is a little different on the manual PCM and it doesn't look for the neutral safety switch (TRS Sensor). It just makes wiring things up a little easier.

It really depends on the condition of the cab mount bushings on your truck. I have heard (not personal experience) that swapping the passenger side of the transmission crossmember from the top of the frame rail to the bottom will allow for enough clearance to let a ZF6 bolt up with no floor pan modifications. Others I know have had to get friendly in the transmission tunnel with a BFH to get it to fit. I've never done that swap myself, so take that for what it's worth.

Can you use a ZF5 from a 4x4 for a 2x4? I plan on keeping my F250 a 2x4 if I limit my search to 2x4 parts trucks they are harder to find.

Not if you follow the directions for wiring or bypassing the TRS sensor.
