well then what is the point of swaping a 10 speed for a 13 that would be way too fast...you would have to use 11th all the time because most 10 speeds come with a 2.73 rear where as a 13 or 18 will have 3.35... I guess being an old time truck driver means simple math doesn't matter...now theres a waste of money
talkto the guys who have actually done this swap..oh let me guess you probably done it -
I have a super 10. it was in truck when I bought it. drove 1.1 mil miles with original clutch. drove 1.5 mil before back box needed reworked. a couple of my neighbors have a 500 red top cummins & one with a 550 cat both with super 10 & they do fine.

I loved the super 10, just like i love my 5+2. Very dependable unless you put multiple steering wheel holders behind it. i like splitting gears rather than shifting them. oo bad they cant handle what a standard 10 can

Direct is direct! 95% of modern overdrives are 0.73 overdrive top gear!! Super 10's are decent transmissions,but like most folks on here! I wouldn't take a straight ten out and replace it with a super 10!! On a good note they run fairly cool & they will almost give you a good used one!!

You're right, I'm wrong. Happy?
Not getting into it, as years go by, it's easier to figure out when it isn't worth it anymore. Hows that BHW?? Make ye proud?
OP, I would go with a 13 over another 10. On flat ground most motors will pull the overdrive gears just fine, and lower the rpm's a little for better MPG.

What side of the trans should the plate be on a 10spd? Near the middle?
