    I appreciate the offer. I've got the concrete pad. It's just got a building on top of it with a 10 foot door. I'll try the plywood method.

    The clutch I have feels fine but since I'm in there might as well replace it. So how's an easy pedal feel vs a regular 2050? Mines pretty dang stiff but I have no idea what it is.

    I know where to get the driveshaft shortened should I need to so that's no issue and I know where to get my air supply for the splitter and range selector on the new trans.

    Little bit slick maybe? But drivers underestimate these hills all the time. The clock was ticking and overdue for another wreck.

    Last major fatality was 9 years ago

    Generally 90k ish. Usually stay 85k cause I'm legal to that but sometimes I've pushed almost 100k

    I went easy pedal 2050 on mine and it's not much more than a pickup. Doesn't stop my knee from hating me some days. Not much difference in price when you shop around.

    Alright. The 9200 we had wasn't super stiff but this one feels quite a bit firmer. About as firm or a little more than the dual disc I had in my ram

    13 = 18913A. That’s the big 13. It’s stronger than the more common 16913A.

    18 speed...
    @Nostalgic mentioned 20918B. Strong transmission. If more than 625HP, go with the 22918B.

    Yup. Easier to crawl a heavy load out of a hole from a stop.
