Re: DT 466 1980 Loadstar - GEAR RATIO ? by Joe
Post New Message Mark, we do injection pumps, and the early DT466 governed out at 21-2300 rpm depending on the application. I would guess his with an automatic would be 2300. Now as far as an automatic with overdrive, well now if money is no object, I'm sure you could get one to work. The engine would have to be turned up to match the shift points on the trans. The OD trans uses electronic controls that sense speed, which means you would have to install an electronic speedometer. The manual pump would have to be replaced with an electronic model. Then you need to replace the manual tach with electronic one. Remember, this is a 1980 truck.
