    Gm NV4500

    o.k., I have a gas nv4500 I'm thinking of throwing behind my diesel if I get it going. Will it work or will I need a diesel specific transmission? Thanks in advance!

    So, why do you drive a diesel?

    I'd love to be able to afford a duramax, just can't justify the expense. Same with a Cummings swap. Kinda of a moot point for me now, with the commie globalist trying to bring us all down to 3rd world status....

    When they mandate e.v.'s, they will will lose revenue on fuel taxes. Thats when the tax by the mile scheme will kick in. You think it sucks now....just wait. No bureaucrat ever met a tax they wouldn't live without...

    Man, Stevie Wonder saw that one coming. They're doubling down on a system that's ready beyond maxed out. Between the fires and summer usage it's going to implode on them.

    I am going to do my best to save it. I have a new tank, sending unit, coils of 3/8 fuel line, an electric fuel pump and harness from Leroy himself. The aforementioned i.p. and injectors, timing set, harmonic balancer all on the shelf. I love this old engine. If it's salvageable I will save it...
