Glad to see people enjoying the kit. I originally designed it for doing Cummins swaps for guys are putting the newer transmissions into older trucks and didn't want to deal with wiring that isn't very reliable anyways. Great video.
I dream of doing this to one of my '70s Fords. I've really thought about going and putting in the pre-turbo 7.3 Powerstroke that has mechanical injection. Mostly because I can get one of those easy. I haven't come across a Cummins yet. I'm excited to watch your build.
Dude, im doing the exact same conversion on my Excursion right now because the electronics have failed. I have the same conversion kit as you too. Thats gonna be a sick truck when your done. Subscribed!
Glad to here someone else is doing this conversion for the simple reliability! And thank you, progress is slow at times as its not my main project, but its a really fun one to see come together for a cool guy!
Heads up to those Ram folks out there. The shift lever output on my 2007 5.9 Cummins 273D is a star/gear. It's not the round with 2 flat sides. So you may want to pull the shift housing before ordering a kit. I plan to modify the auto plate/gear.
I just built a plow truck its never going down the road ever SO can I just remove the shifter motor and take a wrench and turn it to 4 wheel H and it will stay locked in that position ?
Dirt or water should not be able to enter the transfer case itself, as there is a seal around the shift shaft. I could see it as a possibility to interfere with the new shifter attachment. But, it also would be an easy thing to clean, even removing it to do so would be simple.

I appreciate your comment! An early 7.3 would be a cool conversion as well.

I am going to do this on my 03 Excursion with failed module. What shifter did you use?

Hey bro, enjoying your channel! Love to see the videos on the old trucks especially the Ranger!
Awesome video. Considering this transmission/transfercase for a '72 k25 build
This is what im going to do!
Me too!
Great video. Thanks you for making it
What manual transmissions bolt up to the 273. We are building a off-road rig
You got pic how the handle is made I know this is for ford but found same kit for a Chevy thinking about doing this
I just built a plow truck its never going down the road ever SO can I just remove the shifter motor and take a wrench and turn it to 4 wheel H and it will stay locked in that position ?
Yes, that should work just fine. it will stay in the selected range.
@@HighDesertDerelict Thanks
What size bolt holds the linkage to the transmission at the two holes you pointed to.
Is there any concern for dirt and water getting in and hinder movement?
Dirt or water should not be able to enter the transfer case itself, as there is a seal around the shift shaft. I could see it as a possibility to interfere with the new shifter attachment. But, it also would be an easy thing to clean, even removing it to do so would be simple.
The link for the part doesn't work. Can you tell me where to find this kit?
Let me know if this link works: wildhorsemfg.com/index.php/np273-manual-shift-conversion-kit/
