I used to drive a pump truck in the oilfield a ten speed is easy and it's actually good for a 2 stroke you can keep the rpms up without to much jump between gears bogging you out

A ten speed honestly is not that big. I'm thinking with a 6v53 being shorter slide the forward to compensate for a bit more length and keep the t case where it's at or worst case move it back. Just read a post about the 2.5t transfer cases apparently some guys are inputting 1000 ft/lbs and they...

The t case was the next question I suppose. That thing is pretty beefy I bet it can handle a 6v53 235 hp and 550 torque stock. One thing to keep in mind is the the 6v53 is a lot shorter length wise than the multi fuel i think, ill measure to be sure but if the eaton is longer which it will be it...

it appears that an eaton fuller 10 speed (many different models) can come in an sae number 1 or 2 flywheel housing and also they can withstand WAY more torque and horse power that we are talking to throw at it. They also come with an overdrive up to .74 which would be a decent OD.

At this point it does really matter. I'm thinking auto because the trans may move forward or backward depending on length of engine ect compared to where the hole in the floor is a stick may be goofy. plus the way detroits run I think they like and auto a bit better. It would be cool to just...

The reason I dont like the cummins thing is because everyone is doing it. It's easy it works its cookie cutter. It's not everyday you see a detroit in a deuce.... plus im kind of a 2 stroke lover so that plays a major roll in it. I have done some more reading around and it appears that a 8v53...

how many inch's are 14.5R20's? that's what I have on it now the m35A3 tires.

Seriously though how much power are you getting out of a cummins.... Not that much to me going from 140 to 170 is not worth it. This is thread is more of a design thread for a DETROIT. People keep coming in here complaining about how they don't like them and slam your hand blah blah. Please...

Dude. Everyone and their grandma does a cummins. Granted you can make a decent amount of power out of them but I personally don't care for them if you couldn't tell in my original post

Yeah jakes are very nice! And yeah the stock brakes are fine if fixed up

The biggest benefit I see going to the 6v53T is the RPM gain and the fact it could possibly bolt to the 3053. It is however quite a bit less power than the 92 but everything just seems to line up better. In all honesty though with a well tuned deuce brake system the drum brakes are fine. I don't...

Another possibility that I just stumbled upon.... a 6v53T Detroit which DOES have a number 2 flywheel housing and maxes out at 2800RPM instead of 2100RPM which could save a lot of money on gears ect ect. If it bolts up to the 3053 then a guy wont have to do very much. At 2800 RPM with a .79...

My deuce as it sits now will roll 65 @2700rpm on flat ground. Soon as you hit a hill that all changes as everyone knows

Max weight as in DOT? Because the duece can hold a lot more weight than a bigger motor....? And yes I forgot to mention it but disk brake conversion will most likely happen. How ever I'm shooting for more like 65 not so much 75

Hey fellas, Been considering the possibility of putting a 6v92T (turbo) Detroit diesel in my Deuce. The udder sluggishness of the whopping 140 horse power is just getting annoying frankly as I live in the hills. To go camping I have to climb steep mountain passes and the deuce just doesn't...

lol

That' crazy you bent your fan up though because when I went into my glory hole my fan was chucking sludge around as well didn't bend it though. It literally sounded like **** hit that fan lol well I guess it kind of did.

you did drive it out yourself.... Its a tough call... you broke a lot of stuff...But it was about how STUCK you got and since you drove out that doesn't really count IMO

You definitely broke more stuff than I did haha

I would be just post to youtube and then link in here.
