Are you saying you installed a Allison MT42 series behind a Cummins 5.9 engine ? How did it work out ?

You bring up an interesting point. Saki is about 80 proof correct ? At that level of alcohol it would not burn enough to fire up the multifuel. You would need a pure alcohol at about 190 proof. The problem then becomes the lubricity issues. It would burn up the injection pump and injectors in...

You and me both ! I've been waiting for the country to approve my building permit for the new shop now since May. Now it's looking like it will be June 2019 before they give their final approval. :(

nice !!!

All the Allison's that were "mechanically shifted" had 1:1 in final drive. It is the "electronically shifted" units that have overdrives. The old MT30/41/42 series transmissions where all cast-iron and used in everything from buses to dump trucks. They were extremely hardy units but their weight...

Now is the time to install the starter and see if there is any clearance or engagement issues. Once the transmission is installed it gets pretty hard to see what is going on back there. After you check it you can always remove the starter to make it easier to fit the engine in the truck.

Your right. I took the new Honda CR-V down for service last week. No way was I going to waste my time jacking up that little rice burner just to change the oil and filter. Now my new truck is a different story ! I can get under that thing fine. :D I just realized saying my car is a "rice...

It would be pretty simple. The problem is the "width" of this transmission. Since it is a "twin countershaft" unit it is really wide. The deuce's brake assembly would have to be moved if you tried to install this transmission. Yes this transmission would be a great unit in a deuce though it is a...

Personally I would stay away from any transmission with a computer for a Multi-fuel engine. All the needed inputs and sensors would just be a pain in the butt. I have a M600 series sitting outside right now, though I will probably go with the AT540. Smaller and easier to install. Though if I...

Don't just limit yourself to Spokane. Out here near Seattle, there are tons of wrecking yards with hundreds of medium to large truck transmissions laying around.

If your moving the whole rear suspension system back 18" then you can go with a ton of different transmissions. Fuller 7,9,13 speeds, Clark 5,7,9 speeds, the list goes on and on. You can even go with an Allison automatic if you so desired. It all depends on how much you want to spend. Same goes...

Did you ever check the "booster" pump ? Try pulling off the plug shown in picture two just below the socket on the left side. If there is junk in there then the pump needs to come off and be cleaned out. What can happen is the gears (shown in picture three) can get gummed up and actually break...

There is an adjustment controlling the wiper arm movement. It is that small 1" long piece that mounts to the top of the wiper motor. If you take it off you will see two screws that extend down. They come in contact with the wiper "gear". This controls the total amount of movement.

That's correct. There is no way in the world to get the torque converter into the transmission with it bolted to the engine. There are three "steps" the torque converter must gear into. The pump drive gear, the stator support shaft and the input shaft. That's why you must twist and spin the...

There are several sites that sell silicone "turbo hose" . It's a very common size. Just buy a foot of it and cut off what you need. Keep the rest for spares. Here's one site I use a lot...

At one time there was an attempt by manufactures to prevent debris from entering through the turbo. It didn't work. So the only thing you can do is be vigilante and check your engine whenever you drive it. Hear a funny sound that doesn't go away ? Check it out. As for that hose. Yes, replace it...

I never said anything about Gerhards drawings. What I am saying is he has been a little testy towards me lately (just take into consideration all the comments he has made on my posts lately) . I told him to research this and I mean that. There has been tremendous advancements in driveline...

Really ?!?!? Were going down that road are we ? Well if you knew what you where talking about you would see that my numbers are correct. Just for grins and giggles, why don't you go out and measure your "rear" driveline. That's the one between the axles. You know the one that takes the "most"...
