My question is over the real world power limit of the stock Spicer 3053a. People have a lot of opinions on this transmission but most seem to be based on what the tranny is good for on paper.
So my question: Who has, 1st hand, broken a 3053a? And how did you break it? I.E. Your power output, is the truck bobbed, tire size, and what where you doing when it broke?
I am looking at putting a 6BT or a DT360 in my bobbed M35A2, but I am having a hard time finding a good medium duty tranny with overdrive. If I can use the stock Spicer I would be very happy.
Thank you so much,
Dustin
PS. Here is a pic of the bobber. I'll be keeping the stock 9.00x20s.
