Good to hear! Was hoping those numbers would help out someone besides me! I ended up ordering the Lokar cable assembly.

Awful shiny to put on a Cummins but looks like it'll work just fine.

Probably a modded bracket needed Im guessing?

Around town & under hard acceleration, what does your tranny shift at in those instances?

Im not sure if the factory 0.180" inch gap would work with a lower stall converter...

Just a couple washers on either side of the bracket are all that will be needed. Very simple.

As far as shifting, I don't know. Engine and trans haven't been swapped in yet.

The Pros (for me): Lokar is less expensive to buy by 30%-50%, easier to find (factory cable is dealer only part and very few dealers have them) and the Lokar comes with
all the transmission bracketry. The trans I found doesn't have any brackets on it.

The factory cable is just the cable. Brackets are extra and there are no factory part numbers to order them by (discontinued).
