http://www.redrider.us/518_parts.htm At the bottom of this web page is some good information as far as going from the 3spd to the 3spd w/ OD and some switching that will make it more "automatic" ie without toggle switches on the dash!!

The added switch I was refering to is the equivalent of the Tow/Haul button on the newer trucks and the OD lockout on the '93. It's good thing and something I recommend if you switch to an OD tranny with lockup. Good for towing and at other times.

That site has a lot of good stuff!

Hey Minmi, I apoligize for qouting you the wrong transmission. You need a 47rh lockup and the sticky gives all the info you should need to do the swap. I am replacing my A518 non lockup that was stock in my donor truck with the 47rh and an updated TQ from Dunrite. Sorry about the mixup. Augie Dog
