    2001 F/Liner lost 2nd and 3rd gear on low side and high side:shaking2:.Eaton-Fuller Model RTX-14710-C .370 hp Cummins power. 3.90 gears on 22.5 lo/pro. Run local, some off road.


    Pull and repair, buy rebuilt, swap to different style ? Are these transmissions a good one ? Have to re-program ECM if changing transmission ? :smt017Thought about going to a 13:love9:, but they are high dollar.
    Just never really cared for a 10 speed, prefer 9 or 13, but a $ is money, a 10 is cheap. :hello2:

    Your money. Drive what you like. I have a 15 but if you change to a 13 won't you have to change drive line also. Trans price isn't that much different.

    Being able to split the top end gears is a MPG bonus, so I would go that route myself.
    I have always ran 13's or 18's myself.
