    Up date the super 10 is gone, went way over kill on this. Slapped in a eaton fuller RTLO_16918. 18spd. Before u ask why. Im gonna say because we can thats why.. lol. Now we can work on the M11 Cummins and get it rebuilt and turned up to 400hp 1450 ft lbs. I'll try to update more as we continue to work on her

    Good job on swapping that 10 for the 18. Your gonna love it. IMO a 10 speed belongs in a pickup truck not a semi :) (Haters gonna hate). Just a thought, with the low torque of that m11 (not to offend the little beast), won't you lose some torque (going to the wheels) in that heavy transmission. I'm not a expert in transmissions but I know that RTLO 18 spd is a heavy tranny. Not sure if its even possible to lose torque in these transmission but just a thought. Maybe someone here can comment on this.

    All the best to you and your father. Looking forward to see he progress of this project.
