Inside the cab is probably a better overall environment for longevity than under the hood.
When I had my F350, I did consider having a dash mounted knob/dial, on a double throw switch. That way you could have manual 'throttle' control as needed.
What mechanical thing on the engine will you actuate with the cable? The sensors are not optional.
If failure is the fear, I suggest packing a spare pedal, or the potentiometer within. Maybe a spare cps and icp also.
3.33 10.25" sterling was apparently used in some of those 7-lug F250's from 97-03(?)
There is the 3.07 Dana 70 from dodges that had the cummins and 727 auto. Those have a VSS.
I reckon you could fit a tone ring and speed sensor from a later Dana 60 (E250/350 or Dodge).
I've seen similar done before. This one is welded

Fwiw, the width of the axle and tire sturdiness/capacity plays a part on stability. I went to #3860 tires first, then to a 5" wider axle; considerably more stable than stock, while staying SRW.
Stock dually axles tend to have stronger axle tubes, and possibly bigger hub bearings.
The HEUI injection can become a nightmare as they get on in life. Not simply electrical know-how will get you by. I unloaded both my PSDs after the one went down this path.
The powersroke is going to be a headache. You'd need all the computer/wiring stuff from the excursion - probably best with transmission also. Then you need the E-series specific parts for the powerstroke.... Radiator, oil cooler, gosh knows what else. I think a better strategy is to keep the...
Falsified gvwr? Thats weird.
We always have the choice to license gvw below the mfr gvwr, so long as it's no less than 1.5x the curb weight.
ABS is a weird one to get caught on... How are they testing it for function? Isn't it one of those passive items that is assumed to be working so long as...
I'd be inclined to run some thicker/better oil in the ZF5. Maybe overfill thru the shifter opening (like us dodge getrag guys have to.) I forget what i ended up with in mine (nearly 15 years ago now). I know i was looking at redline MTL kind of stuff, maybe the royal purple? Rollover noise...
I did SMF on my powerstroke (also ZF5-s42) and never noticed a growl. The DMF was making a racket and didnt want to risk it letting go, possibly shattering the trans.
I'd want that bigger clutch lining. DMF is only 11" on the idi.
I reckon 'Perfection' amounts to a rockauto house brand; reboxed clutch made by somebody else. Compare pictures with other brands.
The Perfection clutch I got for my cummins dodge was a replica of the OE Sachs 13" used on the 89-93 dodges - only devoid of the 'Sachs' raised lettering.
Edit...
The old small inner bearing/journal did get phased out. The Dana 61 from the 80's-on and 60 from
mid-90's-on use the traditional dana 70 spindle which stacks up better.
The switch gets to be a problem when the pedal linkage is worn out.
I nearly had my leg pinched off between two trucks 25 years ago because a friend had disabled the interlock and it started in gear. I'll keep the safety switch thanks.
My understanding of the f250 4x4 dentsides is the 77-older have narrow frames (34") and ~40" perch spacing. (Aka 'highboys')
77.5+ have 38" frames and ~45" perches.
Mine leaked the same way. Ordered up an "engine tech" gasket set from rockauto, and got new head bolts from fastenal.
Lo and behold.... when I dont drive 75mph for hours at a time, the gasket doesn't leak. 2-3 years have gone by and i havent changed it.
