    Well,

    Cut off $3800
    Trans $3400
    Bell housing, 5th wheel, stack mount $750
    Napa bill $350
    Fastner place ( tools and hardware ) $1200
    Kenworth $1100
    Frame inserts $900

    That’s everything including all the maintenance stuff I’ve done. There are tools in there too. Heck, I got almost $300 in c clamps.

    My last delivery was December 31st. I’ve taken maybe 6 or 7 days off since then. Some short days but mostly about 10 hours?

    Everything I do takes longer than I hope. I have a bunch of other stuff I want to do too but think this is enough for a while.

    A couple of quick runs around block have told me that it was all money well spent as far as I’m concerned. Got to get the ecm reprogrammed to really take full advantage of the new gearing.

    Ps, I got another $500 in exhaust parts on order I don’t have yet.. I’m sure there’s little more I missing. Less than $500 though. Oh and the $700 trailer abs valve...

    Just eliminating torque management, speed limit by gears and reprogram Speedo for the new gears.

    Its set at 450 and that’s plenty for me.
