    2005 dodge 5.9 H.O.for repower

    I chose it because of the .69 OD. My requirement was a 6000-series spicer 5 speed with the .69 OD, since I had my doubts about the 3053A handling that much torque, and I figured if I was doing it once, I'd get lowest OD I could find. My Ford-bequeathed 3208 came with a 6052 behind it, so my...

    2005 dodge 5.9 H.O.for repower

    Sweet. Happy to hijack. The 6855 Spicer was a real devil to find. I had to track one down in Nebraska. It weighs about 350 lbs. I think it might have been out of an old 5 ton, possibly Mil truck. Bob

    2005 dodge 5.9 H.O.for repower

    Thanks guys, but as HRD says, I am going to keep the L8000 box, because, well, I have it. I guess I'll just jack up my junk myself and measure the fore and aft of the draglink. I rebuilt the Spicer 6855 last night. Man, is it cool to see that mainshaft spin at 31% Overdrive when I kick the...

    2005 dodge 5.9 H.O.for repower

    Oh yeah, spicer, don't fret about that only being 466 cu in. I know you're sort of joking, but you can hop up those IH DT466's to INSANE levels of power. I'd dare say 3053-splitting power. ;) BTW if anyone wants a spreadsheet that shows tire sizes and tranny OD ratios and their end result on...

    2005 dodge 5.9 H.O.for repower

    guys Be careful on the long motors if you want to keep the stock transfer case... I am very intimate with this right now. I just hardmounted the 3208 and the Spicer 6855 last night and I will have VERY little room for the radiator. The long inline 6's are great, but when you put a real tranny...
