Tractor First, Right?

Years ago when I started buying and re-selling trucks. I learned real quick walk away if it is a (bait and switch) all you will be out is air fare and a few hundred $$$ I have walked away from many so-called deals like that. Never regreted it! If it is an individual selling, belive it or not you have more power in the deal than the seller. I have re- negotiated many deals after seeing a pc of equipment in person.

 

Thought I would offer this, I sent my transmission out to have it cracked and checked while it was on the floor and we aren't that busy. It looked pretty good just fixing a couple things, it's a 18918 the said to exchange it for reman was $6000. That of course was trading an 18 for an 18, I don't know if that would change if your core was a different model.

 

Well since this thread has kinda taken the direction of transmissions let me ask you all a question. What is the difference between an A and B model? Specifically in relation to a 13.

 

I don't think there's many 13 speeds with a B suffix..
18 speed with a B suffix has a .73 final over; A has ...like a .86/.87 final over. From the 13speeds I've had and run, a 13A has a final of .73.
I know I had a RTO14613 for a brief period: that had a .86 final over, but I don't recall a suffix one way or the other at all.

 

Well after 1 minute of searching lol

Here's something any of you with interest might want to look at.

My 13 speed is a RTOF-9513 - no suffix. The above list says it is a .87 final.

 

Dude thank you for this. That makes my life a lot easier. Now i just gotta get under the truck and verify which tranny i got. Need to grease it this weekend anyway, it got skipped last weekend.

 

You found my source of knowledge lol
