10 speed hills...

There's a few of them out there yet with 2 speed rears, they're few and far between though.

 

Two thoughts.

ooh. And then AWW.

ThAT much? sheesh. It's like.. not quite full grown teenager so to speak... all stack and no ###.

 

It's a 99 with under 800k miles, with a 5DS Cat and completely customized interior, they were at 180k a couple months ago.

 

Not necessarily. There is a farm back home where 4 are stored. Two in running condition.

I knew there was a reason I had you on my list and try to be nice to you but you take cheap words at me. What a shame. I guess we will never do well no matter what truck it is old or new.

 

I suppose you're right, but most guys coming out of school today won't even see a manual transmission, let alone a 2 speed rearend. It's too bad you have also forgotten the times I've had your 6.

 

I'm still running one in our Chevy C70.....

I started out in a GMC 9500, typical screaming jimmy w/a 10 RR, switched out to Mack U, w/a Mack 300 & Mack 5 spd Maxi-torque, talk about re-learning how to shift.....

 

Light duty single axle axle trucks with 2 speeds were quite common,Heavy haul trucks and some log or off road trucks also had 2 speeds, but not all that common in most areas and hardly ever in a road truck.
I guess I should not even mention th eaton 3 speed rears. lol

You will find that you need to shift different on every hill depending on what grade it is, on many of the hills I run, if you let it pull down just a hair too much, you go ahead and grab 2 gears instead of one.
