Hey all,
Going to be getting a 518 non-lockup ready to go into my '81 D-250. The trans is out of a '90 1/2 ton Club Cab longbox so I've got all the crossmembers and driveshafts, and I know it will fit.
What I need is the basics for running pressure switches and vacuum switches for the OD on/off. I dont really feel like toggling a switch at every single stoplight to kick the OD in and out. I will have one however that will kick it out when I'm towing loads.
Anyway I need specifics on what to wire to where, part numbers for the vacuum switches, and I think I read somewhere on here about an A/C cutoff switch for kicking the OD in and out at a specific speed. something like a 44 PSI switch works out at 44 mph if my speedo is right (its only off a small amount, fast by about a mile or two).
I'd like to get this info now, because I'm looking at doing it in the spring and I want to have it and everything I need on hand so I can go to work on it when the time comes. Maybe we should stick this thread in the tech archives for others to see when its done.
If anyone wants a how-to I'll use my truck as a guinea pig.
