    If your plans include keeping and working this truck when done, I would be watching for a deal on a 14613, or even an 18, myself. It would be an upgrade you will never regret.

    Plan to work it when it's all said and done

    I believe my YouTube is ezrider92356 I can post you a link when I'm on my computer rather than my phone

    Got everything done today that I had mentioned I wanted to do. Pretty happy about that. Jake brake I went the long way to and checked basically everything else before I checked what should have been one of the first things but it's fixed anyway....lol. I filmed my day of working on it today I'll try to edit it today or tomorrow if I can

    Yeah I think I will be keeping my eyes open. Kinda sucks though because the trans shifts nice tight and smooth really feels quite nice

    Good idea, great deal. A project custom made for you. I can’t wait to see the progress. You’re kingpin video is excellent, by the way. I’m almost convinced I can do mine. Lol

    A 14613 isn't any better. A 713A or a 913B is the better transmission

    No doubt those are better, but I put lots of miles on the 613's and liked them much better than any 12.5 I ever ran, plus no overdrive whine.

    Myself, I would leave it as is, until I found a good deal on another one, but then I can be cheap sometimes too.
    I ran a 12.5 for years though, and back then if I was grossing less than 100,000, I thought I didn't have a load, and it did the job, on the road and in the field.

    my broken face didn't scare you off.....LOL
    yeah i didn't know it at the time but that black eye was actually a broken cheek bone.

    good to know, not a top priority at this point. really got a ways to go before i need to worry about it being able to do anything but just lot drive. ill be keeping my eye out for a good deal on a updated trans in the meantime.
