Hi Cowpie, I have read a lot of your posts but instead of replying to a few older threads, I will just start a new one.
1. You have the newer 14X Meritor with 2.64 ratio and talked about the amboid gearing. I assume that you don't have diff locks, or do you?
I can't find any info on amboid vs the hypoid gearing that I have, so please explain the advantages of amboid gearing.
I have older Rockwell 40-145, full locks and 3.90. Engine is a Series 60 DDEC 6 getting 5 mpg. The diffs have 920,000 miles on them and I haul triaxles in Canada. Loads are usually 60,000 lbs plus. 13 speed auto.
I am thinking about rebuilding my diffs and changing the ratio to 3.36 so that when I'm in Quebec and Ontario, I can run in 12th instead of 13th.
The 3.36 ratio for my axles are amboid and I'd like to know the difference.
Secondly, you have a 12.7 Series 60, haulomg heavy through hills and get 8 mpg in the summer.
Is all you have done to the engine is install a BW 171702 and tune and changed the axle ratio to 2.64?
Thank you for your answerz

Unfortunately if your asking Cowpie1 he passed away last year. He was leased on to the company I’m leased to. Fast moving pancreatic cancer.
