That's an NP205 transfer case, not a 208. The 208 is a cast aluminum chain drive case similar but inferior to an NP241, in the video you can see that the T-case is cast iron and it's an all gear driven case - no chains. I've had several apart. I believe Dodge used a 23 spline input gear or a 29 spline male input gear with a 6 bolt round mounting pattern version of the NP205 in the '93 and older cummins trucks (I think autos used the 23 spline and diesel manuals were 29, could be wrong). My understanding is that the 29 spline input gear will swap in to Ford version NP205s and 32 spline input gear Chevy NP205s (usually found behind TH400s and some later SM465s IIRC), however, the Ford and GM version were female splined gears. These NP205 cases ran a larger bearing on the input gear, there are smaller input bearing 205 cases used by Dodge and GM in earlier and/or non diesel trucks like the 23 spline input gear Dodge version NP205 or the NP205 found behind the TH350 or early SM465s with a 10-spline male input gear.
@@225mc If it's a 6-bolt round pattern version GM NP205 that should match the transfer case adapter on the Dodge 5-speed as far as bolt pattern. I think you would need the 29 spline male input gear from a Dodge NP205 and the 29 spline female coupler to swap into the large bearing 32 spline input GM 205 case in order to match the Dodge 5-speed 29 spline output shaft, assuming the 5-speed came from a Dodge diesel truck, if it is a 5-speed from a gas engine Dodge truck then you need the 23-spline Dodge female input gear that uses a small input bearing. The small input bearing Dodge input gear would work with other/older versions of the GM 205 with the smaller 27 (TH350 automatic) or 10 spline input gears (older SM465 4-speed manuals) use a smaller input bearing diameter that is the same as the 23-spline Dodge 205 input gear and a figure 8 bolt pattern to bolt to the transmission, but the bolt pattern wouldn't match the 6-bolt round pattern on the Dodge 5-speed. Those versions of the GM 205 would need some custom machining to work with the Dodge 5-speed. I edited my original comment above, as initially I had forgotten about the 23-spline version Dodge 205, so hopefully that is more accurate now.
your front diff (at least in this video) is a corporate 10 bolt. corporate 10 bolts had 2 u bolts on the passenger side, the Dana front axles had the u-bolt on the wheel side of the leaf spring, and 2 bolts on the diff cover side
First off congratulations on the build....love it....my question is how is it holding up with the half ton frame????.... I have a 85 half ton and want to do the same but worried bout frame strength... Thanx for your time
@@chrishagemeister7384 Hey man, Ive got an 85 2wd half ton and I'm looking into the whole 4x4 conversion with a 12 valve. Does the factory 3/4 ton 4x4 front end bolt up to the 1/2 ton 2wd frame if its the same? Ive heard the easiest way to convert to a 4x is a whole chassis swap but is the 3/4 ton front end an option too?
That's pretty impressive for a 22 year old. Must be nice to have that kind of power. I had a 6.2l with the banks turbo and it was still pretty gutless.
very good video sir, I want to swap a 5.9 6bt, for a 1973 Dodge D200 adventure, do you think it's worth it, and do I have to modify the brakes, suspension? Do you recommend me? greetings
Just picked up a 12 valve cummins 5.9 for my 1979 GMC 1 ton. But it doesn't have a P pump. Though it came out of a wrecked but running truck. I need to find a tranny and P pump now. Someone recommended an NV5600 to put behind it, but I can't really know for certain which tranny I want to go with?

What about glow plugs? My suburban has a glow plug harness the turns on the glow plugs, can I use that same circuit for the Cummins? And what year truck should I look for as far as a complete swap? I want to keep it an automatic. Thanks and great informative video.

@@samstrucks yes I know that it's just most known don't mean to hate on it I kind of came off that way but it's a Chevy 6.2 Detroit's get like 30 miles per gallon and you can still crank power out of them if you need it
I don't know what the big deal with Cummins swaps in squarebodys drop some money into a decent later model 6.2 or 6.5 would be equally up to the task as any Cummins...you want a Cummins buy a dodge also diesel power in a half ton truck is not really that practical especially if you live in a rural area or where village and small town stations don't sell a lot of diesel fuel it can become contaminated with water or sediment which is murder on injectors as well as multiple fuel system parts...just my 2 cents
12 valve Cummins didn't only come in dodges,they came in ford's f700, busses all kinds of machinery including cranes ,I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't come in some model chevy.they are very simple to work on unlike v8 diesels.They are a great industrial long lasting engine that will not only outlast the dodge truck it came in but probably outlast anything it comes in if taken care of. Maybe he wants a dang good engine in his truck,nothing wrong with that, just my 2 cents
And how many older diesel dodges like pre 2000 do you see around? I know up here in Southern Ontario its a rare occurrence...you see lots of new or newer ones just because there much cheaper than gm/ford not because there good

@@samstrucks any reason why?
@@zachdavis1776 Zach, I went with the 4bt. I am doing a S-10. I didn't have sufficient room for the 6bt. 6 is quiter, but your choice. Good Luck on your adventure
Can you do a video on the wiring and a video on the clutch setup
I have a whole video on wiring.
Great video
Thanks
Very good job young Man.

O, mines an 89. perfect body too.
Year before last we met 3 guys from Alberta staying at the same dump motel in Wendover Utah/ they were on bikes heading to Meheco.
We was there checking out m/c speed trails at Bonniville. Really pretty /the Flats.Yellerstones nice too.
It's a Chevy not a Dodge you should have either Detroit or Duramax swapped it
Cummins is not a dodge engine. It’s a cummins engine.
@@samstrucks yes I know that it's just most known don't mean to hate on it I kind of came off that way but it's a Chevy 6.2 Detroit's get like 30 miles per gallon and you can still crank power out of them if you need it
@@samstrucks 6 in a row ready too tow ! Glad you chose a real Diesel engine for the swap good job 👍
You are in alberta ?
I am looking at doing a cummins swap on my obs gmc k2500 5 speed

@Sam’s Trucks ya like I said I am looking at doing a 12v swap in my 97 k2500 obs would you have any tips I am up in the edmonton area

It survives

Thanks !

What do you mean?
what transmission would you go with if you were gonna go automatic with 4x4
A518 is the only cost effective option
What exhaust did you use?
I used the dodge 3” down pipe and then flex pipe around the TCASE and then 4” out the back
I don't know what the big deal with Cummins swaps in squarebodys drop some money into a decent later model 6.2 or 6.5 would be equally up to the task as any Cummins...you want a Cummins buy a dodge also diesel power in a half ton truck is not really that practical especially if you live in a rural area or where village and small town stations don't sell a lot of diesel fuel it can become contaminated with water or sediment which is murder on injectors as well as multiple fuel system parts...just my 2 cents
Each to their own, the Cummins sounds a lot better than the GM early diesels
@@samstrucks yes for sure but i wouldn't be swapping a motor just for how it sounds lol 😆 but each their own absolutely
12 valve Cummins didn't only come in dodges,they came in ford's f700, busses all kinds of machinery including cranes ,I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't come in some model chevy.they are very simple to work on unlike v8 diesels.They are a great industrial long lasting engine that will not only outlast the dodge truck it came in but probably outlast anything it comes in if taken care of. Maybe he wants a dang good engine in his truck,nothing wrong with that, just my 2 cents
@@dc440-4 Cummins never came in any gm half 3/4 or 1 ton trucks in the 70s or 80s
And how many older diesel dodges like pre 2000 do you see around? I know up here in Southern Ontario its a rare occurrence...you see lots of new or newer ones just because there much cheaper than gm/ford not because there good
Cummins swaps are stupid
Why do you say that
@@samstrucks yet he's watching the video. Sweet truck dude,from Houston tx
@@samstrucks jealousy is a powerful emotion 😆…keep up the good work nice build buddy !
That’s an awesome truck!!! Well done!!!!
Thanks man
