id like to find a gearshift mounted switch ( like a exhaust brake switch ) to use for my backup light switch. can this be done ??? can you point me in the right direction to find one ??? id like to have one that you pull up ( and it will stay up ) for on and then push back down for off. im also thinking about installing a dash light inline so i know i wont leave it on going down the road thanks guys, scott

 

Stop by NAPA or something and get a two-speed shifter switch. Sounds like it will fit your wishes.

Got one right here in front of me.
NAPA part number PP6490 made by Echlin.
And yes, it says made in China right on the box.

 

awesome ......... thanks guys

 

Wow you got one of them from China.............Nuttin like box from China.........Kewl...........

 

DieselDude....I just did a search on napaonline.com and cant find anything with that part number or manufacturer's name....

I think if you find the NAPA switch, youll have to fab up some kind of mount for the gear shift.....if you happen to know a machinist, he can help...

 

Thats the NAPA number for sure. Echlin parts (NAPA has controlling interest in Echlin ) Trust me Rick

 

In the book, it showed the switch as a Two Speed Rear End switch.

I took two of the rubber lined wire supports that you put a bolt through, one to fit the switch and one to fit the gear shift lever. Put a bolt in and tightened it up and took the handy dandy Dremel tool and ground to bolt down smooth with the nut. Works for me.

 

That site is pretty much near worthless. I just did a search for the switch too by name, by number, and everythign I could think of. I even went back and pulled the original sales slip to make sure the number on the box matches what he sold me, it does.
I did a search for radiator hoses and it doesn't even let me list the engine. So much for on line shopping.

I have a copy of the sales slip I can scan in and e-mail you if you like.

Here is the link to my gallery so you can see the switch in place.

Thats ok Joel.....I believe ya....I assume the part number will be the same in Canada.....would be nice if we had a NAPA witing and hour and half of here....

I'll have to go to a NAPA and order one....thanks a lot....

 

im looking for somwething like the pac brake switch that will go around the gear shift without using u bolts or strap clamps..... what does the switch look like on the jacobs set up ??

 

Jacobs makes a great looking stick mounted switch and has a very clean look.....it used to be on the Cummins.com webpage but I checked and cant find it.....last time I checked it was almost $125 Canadian $....ouch....the guy at Cummins said they havent sold many of them...go figure...

 

If you can't find one, let me know. If you think it will make it across the border, I'll send you this one I got here on the desk and get another. I go right by the NAPA place every day to and from work.
