Best Cat transmission I have ever driven and I have driven quite a few, need to work on Bill's 916's. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

There is a thread on here about this already, and there is plusses and negatives to both types both need covers and proper maintenance. I will eventually have all synthetic ropes on my wrecker but you need to look at what you will be doing with your truck. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

So M543A2 how alike are the diesels and gas burners? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Can't see your picture but everything I can find says they were converted gasser GMC motors. Okay got the scan to come up so I could read the article and this one says they aren't the same. So let's look at a few things, we know the heads will be different but from what I am reading from guys...

Standard GMC V6 parts were used for most of it. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Yeah it is about 3" thick but it is panels not sprayed in, with aluminium square tube in the upper layer a wood in between the panels on the lower layer. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I don't recommend 15w40 but if that's the way you want to go i would use a non synthetic rottela. I use 10wt hydraulic oil that has Alison approval on the bucket. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

No laod and on dirt no biggie disengaged front end even better. I have backed several hundred up on the step of a stepdeck trailer without modified switches, and never broken one. But before you do try yours do take a few minutes and crawl under and check for cracks in the housing I have seen...

A driveshaft shop should be able to weld it up and machine it back. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Easy now his head might not fit in his truck any more. Naw Wes is A1, dang Energizer bunny, good show Simp. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Also the tank bleaders need to be checked. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Okay stop take a breath, now start by checking you gladhands you have been at a show and people are stupid, they will do things to a military truck that would get them arrested if they did them to a regular show car. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Pretty sure it is the heat, like Simp said the dex type fluids don't like temps over 180 and these trucks were designed to use the 10wt and normal temperature of 210 or more which is fine on 10wt or most hydraulic/ transmission oil. What everyone needs to remember that these trucks were designed...

You are the one with a attitude and not able to read, those are listed as new and not being NOS as the old is a bad thing when dealing with rubber. Simp doesn't need one you do, so shut-up and order one yourself. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Here's the biggest reason to stick with what you have, half of the people I have talked to about changing thier 5 ton out to the tes 295 have had the transmission fail after changing. They have enough money that they said they were going to do it anyway and they had to replace the transmission...

Okay so we had no conflicts? Get a history book. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

All of those are trucks from Iraq not Desert Storm or before. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Thanks Simp and it is not 15w40 that was used in 99% of these trucks it is 10wt engine oil that they were all built with. The 15w40 was a change in the manual and didn't get done to most of these trucks. RSMS even used 10wt whe they were doing complete rebuids up through 2013. Sent from my...
