Thanks for the replies fellas, the tranny in questions was a 15OD.
Cool pics man, I haul machines now with an 18 (truck's not mine though). How is it shifting from deep reduction to low range? I'm pretty sure...
Yeah true enough. With an 18, 24.5, and 3.70's it might be a little fast, I guess I could throw 22.5's on as well. What does a nice refurb 18 go...
Hey fellas, looking at a truck that is spec'd exactly the way I want (1999 550 cat, 3.70, 24.5 rubber, so that would get at about 105kmh in top...
Thanks very much, that's a great tip. I will definitely keep that in mind.
I have a brother in law and a father in law who are journeyman mechanics and I'm decent with a wrench myself so if problems arise they can be...
Hey fellas, looking at a 99 flat top Freightliner classic with a Cummins Signature 600 under the hood, 18spd, 46k rears. I haven't physically...
I guess what I'm most wondering is if they are really both 1850 torque what I would potentially be noticing going to 550 while driving it.
So I've been thinking of buying my first truck and been looking at '99 Pete with a 475 Cat and 18spd. I forgot to check but I'm assuming with...
I value your opinion and you're probably right. The more I think about how much I'd have to do to the truck to make me happy it's probably not...
Yeah I was thinking AT LEAST 4.33 gears, how difficult would it be to get 500hp out of that motor? And how long would it survive? I'm pretty sure...
Thanks for the replies fellas. Top speed would be 100kmh max (60mph) and I dont have very far to go, 25 miles for the furthest of the three...
Have my eye on an early 90's T800 with a 400hp Cummins in it and 15spd that could use a bit of TLC but the price is right and it would just be a...
Thanks for the reply. I will definitely consider Detroit. Ideally I'd like to have it in front of an 18spd just for versatility in the field where...
Hey fellas, for those of you with more experience than I point me in the best direction here for my specific application. I was in here awhile...
We run isx15s and one of our mechanics told us to idle around 975. We usually shut everything off at night because we have those Webasto heaters...
Yes those are the slacks that we use. Great post, thank you very much. And thanks for putting my mind at ease. As always great to learn new...
So we're having a debate at work right now on proper methods for adjustment and maintenance of automatic slack adjusters. I work for a fracking...
Yeah here in Alberta I see mostly T800s and Western Stars, but Canyon is mostly Pete 367s, which I actually like a lot.
While that saying is true, taxes up here are nowhere near 43-50%, try half that. I run a frac pump and while I haven't been doing it for quite a...
