Unknown Auxiliary Box

You should have a message shortly…..

 

I kinda watch the 359 Enthusiast parts & trucks page on FB.. I've seen boxs on there often ..
If it was me I would look for a set that have the 1450 torque rating .. thats just me though .. its getting harder & harder to find somebody that knows their way around those boxs anymore .. I only know enough to be Is dangerous..
I can tell ya what happens when you over torque them and what it sounds like ..lol

 

The 1241 is a heavier twin countershaft auxiliary that’s more desirable for the higher hp engines. I found one in a KW last year but owner wouldn’t commit to selling it. Found a W900A with a 8V71 4x4 setup, haven’t got to really look closely at it though….

 

Audible Learning..... LMAO

 

Your right about the 1241.. I've read that theres some impeovements that can be done on a 1241 too..
I've got a 1241 in that 85 ...359 that got laid over .. my plans were to use it in the other 85 that I've been building .

 

It sounds alittle something like this.... .. it starts whining like a room full of 2 year olds .. (thats when you need to back outa it )
If not then it starts a death scream like a locker room full of teenage girls ..and the shifter starts shaking like a cat crapping razor blades for about 45 seconds then you'll hear a pop.. the shifter goes limp and it gets quiet..And it's all over but the crying
Don't ask me how I know....lol

 

That looks to be cast iron. Dependent on where exactly its cracked a good welder could probably weld it up for you. Ive welded a few gearboxes myself in the past... One is still in my '72 F-250. To do it properly it would require that you disassemble the entire gearbox though, as the casting needs to be preheated to about 400 degrees.

 

ROFLMFAO... That sounds about like my love life... Lol
