    I'm not a big guy, just lots of spirit.

    Isn't there more power loss with a 13 compared to 10? Thought I read 13's had more moving parts.
    I've never driven a 13.

    You better do your research first. I replaced a 10 speed Spicer in 9400 IHC. That Spicer was about 30% over drive. Thank about the only Fullers with that are a RTLO15710C , which I thank I used, or maybe a Super 10. A 13 or 18 would slow you down a good bit. Had to cut the driveshaft, buy a 1760 yoke for the Fuller and get a different shift lever.
    Think long and work short.

    Yea and weigh more. Yet properly driven will achieve better economy. It can offset eachother.
     
    Coffey and Bean Jr. Thank this.

    Thanks for admitting it. We were having a technical convo. Till you added your less than intelligent opinion which added zero value to it.
