ZF6 swap
So I found a deal I couldn't pass up. $800 for the transmission and transfer case from a 2002 6.8 ZF6!!! Gonna clean it up and start getting ready to install. Have to do a body lift here and start piecing together everything else. Any suggestions and help would be appreciated. I will make sure to document the whole process.

Your tranny ZF has an external slave. Here is a pic of a Superduty hydraulic system.
Your latest picture of the inside of the bellhousing shows a release lever. You will need a new release hub and the bearing.
Here is your pic with an arrow added to show where the external slave goes on the ZF.

the nice thing bout that sd master and slave is it comes pre bled from the factory. just lock it in and go. the slave is inserted into the bell at a 90deg angle and twisted into place. if im not mistaken that 6 speed uses SYNTHETIC fluid ONLY. double check your pilot bushing dimensions as well.

Just so you know your BW 4406 should bolt up to the ZF. You may still need to adjust the drive shaft lengths but you will not have the expense of having to switch sending units nor having to switch from a slip yoke to a flanged yoke. You will need to tinker with the t-case shift linkage.

Ahh so a cheaper and easier maybe swap would be the 5 speed. But I already have the 6 speed and am set on it so keeping it. Gonna be a fun project. Little time consuming though, but thats ok. Once pay day gets here I am gonna order my body lift and do that so I have room for this huge thing. haha
