Hard to say what the cost would be. Helical gears would be much easier and cheaper to produce than hypoid gears. Maybe, higher gears would justify more useage...
If I had show a ROI to justify my hobbies, I'd have no hobbies.
Why not develop faster rear gears? Someone here said that Timken/ Rockwell developed a set of faster gears so it can be done. Just need someone to pony up for the NRE...
Just one point of correction. A gas engine doesn't really have any more braking ability than a diesel. Once the throttle butterfly is closed, it isn't pumping anything.
Sorry, but the full flow oil filter was my idea. We are both in SD, though.

I welded extensions to the four rear mounts and drilled through the side of the frame rails. The fronts used modified M105 clamps cut and narrowed to fit the M35 frame.

They are $150 each; they don't want to budge unless we buy a huge quantity. Their relatively high prices have resulted in them having some unique items in their salvage yard.
The problem with today's gas is not that it lacks lead; it is that it evaporates more easily. The hot soak after shutdown floods your engine. The fuel vapors cannot make it out of the filter. As gasoline became better and more easily vaporized, Reo did away with the exhaust heat. What you...
