    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    that sound awful heavy for a 818 with a 109 box, the 819 data plate calls for 13900 on the front, 10020 on each of the rear axles. 16380 ????, I have a long wheel base, a crane, triple frame, ect. for the 13900 I would think 7360 on the front and 16380 on both rear axles combined would be...

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    I know the 819 wants to run from about 1800 to 2100, when it gets down to the high 1600s it says pleass, please down shift me

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    With 1621rpm for 55 to 1827rpm for 62 makes me wonder if this rpm is LOW for OPP. power for the 250,. with 1621, as soon as power is called for, a down shift is called for. 1800 is not much better. it just seems that the 250 runs best between 1900 and 2000 just my thoughts "just can't find a...

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    as long as you rev your 250, thats cool, though I dont see it lasting long, a over rev for a built pulling truck is one thing, so you get a few second runs out of it, fine, you turn one of these 250s to 24 or 2500, going down the road, I hope you have another motor in the shop. you will have...

    just remember, going to 4.92 will hurt you on hills with the 250, now a 400 would power you over hills like a moto-cross racer

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    Joel(BFR) turned me on to my 1200s off ebay, mine are o4 new, I paid 2000 for 14 tires GREAT price, I looked for about 3 years before I found my 1200s, I was about to go to 1400Rs singles (deal already worked out, but called off) because of the lack of 1200s you can get 1200s in a commercial...

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    I believe the output drives are on the opposite side then that of a 800 or a 54 series, I think Jones said this when he was building the baby hemtt

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    I have done a quick research on OLD skinny trans that might fit. looks like fuller 10-B-1120 10 speed, R95, R950, R96, R960 10 speed, spicer 8125 12 speed, 8512, 8516 12/16 speed its long but might fit

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    the big problem in changing trans, is the front drive line clearance on the left and the pto for the winch on the right, a old style skinny 8 or 10 speed will work, the new 8 and 10s are wide but not tall and on some the ptos comes of the bottom and are set up for rear facing work

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    that's the problem 65-70, whats the speed limit, bet its not 65-70, if your doing the speed limit, your NOT going to get a ticket, now if your doing 35 in a 60 zone , yes you will if your holding up traffic if there is no where to pass. Anybody that's wants to do 65-70 in these truck needs to...

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    It just amazes me how everybody wants to go FAST in a 30 to 40 year truck that was designed for mainly off road with 25% on road use, these trucks are SAFE for the intended use and intended speed , the truck design is basically a late 40s/early50s to start with, most have a single wet brake...

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    The 819 is a #36000 truck, on the stock 1200s, it will do 65 at tack, on flat ground, that being said, I try to keep it at 60 just to be a bit safer, the REAL problem is the F#$%%NG TRANS, the HOLE between 3rd and 4th sucks, it is a terrible road unit, a older style 8 or ten speed would be the FIX
