I don't know how much overdrive the trans in question has but I bet you wouldn't gain much speed if any. What you would gain is closer gears which would be better for pulling a load. The stock trans has a heck of a jump between 3rd and 4th. From what I understand the 3053 came about by...

Gerhard, Thanks for your testing on this subject. Get some AL pins from Kenny (I'd send you some myself but I don't have any) and test them if you don't mind :wink:.

One more thing, A RTO 14613 is a BIG trans. R- Roadranger T- twin countershaft O- overdrive 14- max tourqe 1,400 ft. lbs. 6- application number 13- number of speeds

I've got a spare RT613 and I've looked at other Roadranger trasmissions. The main problem I've seen is any trans with a range split is going to be quite a bit longer than the stock trans. To make room for the longer trans you're going to have to move the t-case back. When you do that you start...

I wish everybody recomending using steel bolts or pins (of any grade) would take a look at these threads. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/17076-shear-pins-do-work.html?highlight=bolt+shear+pin http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/26126-winch-fragged.html?highlight=bolt+shear+pin I have...

You can get them legal with the duals on. You do have to have an overwidth permit and wide load signs front and rear though.

I driven tractor trailers since I was 16. The only time I ever used the Johnson bar (trolley brake) brake is one time when I was in snow and ice. I was going down a hill and looked in my mirror and saw the trailer trying to pass the truck :shock:. I pulled on the lever to apply the trailer...

I've always had good luck with the site people at the sites I've been to. I have had problems with GL main office though. Nothing major, just a few lies and lost paperwork and such. It all worked out but they can be a pain in the butt. The main thing I've found out when dealing with AZ is have...

Looks like about a 35 ton P&H with a massive oil leak. I could be wrong about the 35 ton P&H but it does have a big puddle under the engine :wink:.

I have no opinion in the Hummer/Tahoe debate but I would like to know what the deal is. Some say they are a dressed up Tahoe. Some say they are completely different. Some say they are made in a GM plant on the same line as Chevys. Some say they are made at a AM General plant. I don't know who is...

emmado, I took it he was talking about the price on the SF97. That number is usually very low. I think my last truck was something like $300. On paper the Gov sells the truck to GL which in turn transfers the SF97 to the buyer so the price on the SF97 is what GL paid for the truck. As I stated...

That's not the VIN. That's the registration number. The VIN should be 1040-***** for a '88 M35A2C WO/W.

That's the price GL paid for the truck from the Gov. before the sale. After the sale I think the Gov. gets a percentage of the selling price on top of that figure also. The only real problem I see with the year is that late model trucks (80s models) are kind of rare and bring a premium...

You screw it in (clockwise) to raise the pressure. FWIW, the federal DOT requires the governor to build to 120psi and kick back in at 90psi on air brake trucks.

Mike, I was going to suggest that but thought it may be a little harsh :-D. I know alot of people have trouble with their weight. I eat like a pig and weigh the most I ever have in my life. 6'1"/160lbs. I don't really think I'm qualified to tell someone to loose weight because I don't know...

Do you have a spring seat or a box seat? The box seat offers a little more room than the springer.

I would be very suprised if you ever see complete HMMWVs on GL. There may be a few parts sold but most of them will end up in the big scrap piles you see at the GL lots when they get rid of them.

Most of the trucks come from GL needing attention in the brake department. After you get the truck and go over the system and replacing what's needed they are pretty trouble free. On any vehicle this old it's a good idea to check the brake system often because the old designs don't have much in...
