zf6 6.4

[codyc7.3]

Has anyone tried swapping a zf6 into a 6.4 I know this will be my next truck but I love this tranny and I'm not sure I'm ready for an automatic. I know they made a very small number of these from the factory. I just think it would be an awesome truck

I would trade my ZF6 for a auto. Were only about 4hrs away from each other. I think you would have everything I need and I would have everything you need. Im 4x4 btw

 

[codyc7.3]

I would do that in a second but I don't actually own the truck yet

It's too much work and $$$ to try and switch one over. I think your better off to make a trade if your able.

 

[codyc7.3]

That's what I was afraid of

Why not just find one with a 6-speed already? You said you didn't make the purchase yet

Unless your dead set on a manual, buy an auto. The new autos are holding up well to 500+ hp trucks.

A built auto is going to run you $7000 +/-
A south bend dual disc is $2000 +/

What are u planning on doing with your truck?

zf6 6.4s are great! couple buddies of mine have them and they tow like nothing else. Spartan tuned and deleted 6.4 with a zf6 is the best towing setup around imo. just as much low rpm torque as a cummins and power that goes out to 4000rpm if you want it lol they get great mileage to.

I would love to find a 6.4 zf6 but they are rare!

Everything is for sale....

Keep looking if it is what you really want, I drove 9 hours to North Carolina to pick mine up, set everything up over the phone, drove there signed papers and drove it home.

Yep what he said...I drove 10hrs down to TX for mine and I'm very glad I didn't settle...I would not have been this happy with an auto!

My zf6 truck runs great with a 3600 dual disc with DPF/DOC/EGR delete and 3.55s/35s. Great mileage, great power, great truck

Man bringing this thread back from the Dead. My truck runs great, no cruise control, go with some river city diesel tuning, I hear they have a fix for that. I just got my traction bars built 2 weeks ago and it made a world of difference. I love the was it drives and handles. I've raced a few other trucks but have not slowed down to ask them what was done to them. Mainly I love mine for hooking on the trailer and hammering down with no problems at all.

My truck has cruise no problem. Josh is a beast of a tuner!

I was lucky with mine, only an hour away. The color and everything exactly how I wanted it, my "Dream Truck". If the truck is used as a "truck" for work and the street the manual is the way to go, but for drag racing an auto is better hands down, I would just never personally buy an auto anything.

sweet ive been looking into either a zf6 6.o or zf6 6.4 i hate autos lol

I agree with how you use it on whether to go with a stick...that sums it up for me.

I was patient....I found a few sticks early in my search, but if took me 6 months to find the truck I bought. Flew to Illanois to purchase it, signed the paperwork, drove it home. No regrets!!
