ive had my deuce to 25k gross weight. Had several large diesel engines in the bed she was a bit heavy... brakes dont work too good when that heavy as COMMON SENSE would tell you since everyone thinks they need to remind you about it and be the law dog on the forum.

Well in Colorado you can put in an engine the same year or newer and as far as the idiot at the counter knows it's stock still your truck doesn't get inspected so all is good

did you have lube pumps for them to run diff coolers or how was that set up?

I already have a deuce I dont need more vehicles lol

so would say 6-7 hours be considered to long I suppose?

man that is steep... I did see those kits. I was thinking of doing the 4.9 gears with the girdle kits to stiffen the 2.5 tons up a bit

how is it? lol

Yeah I did the math on that just a bit ago. Its a tough call... 5 tons would be nice... still though thats pushing that 92 running like that for hours on end while on the highway. IF ONLY IT WAS A 6:1 GRR. The marine guys run the 6v92's at 2300 RPM I think I might talk to one of my contacts to...

correction 1300 rpm is peak torque.

well yeah I suppose you are right on that but I dont think it will be 5500 hehe. Yes 1667 RPM sounds about right. The 6v92 I think (i would have to go look) makes peak torque at 1500 rpm

I dont really care who you "trolled" it is all to common on SS tbh. But back to a more serious note on with the initial question.

yeah that seems like that can get pretty expensive. Also the gears are still pretty low even in the 5 tons. Just read an article on the 2.5 ton t case and people are still using them in monster trucks with 60 inch tires and big power. That being said I am not too worried about it anymore.

5 ton third members fit into 2.5tons?

Here ill do the math for you. The gears cost 1200$ each so that's 3600 bucks not cheap I know but its better than a brownie box (hacked in). Here is the math 2100 RPM divided by .63 trans OD =3333.33 divided by 4.90 axle ratio= 680.27 times 10.55 rolling circumference of my 43 inch tires at...

I plan on doing the 4.9:1 gears from ouverson and then running an Eaton RTOO 15613 double overdrive that has a .63 Final OD gear.
