    Reversed t-case as "overdrive" unit

    I would guess the mounts were dryrotted to in order to fail like that. even if not, think about ALL the touque mulityplied by all the units. if this worked, dont you think this would have been done a LONGGGGGGG time ago, to do away with some parts that need MAINTANCE

    Reversed t-case as "overdrive" unit

    Dont think there is room between the trans and xcaes, if you put it behind the xcase, if you are not carefull, you will have TWO different gear ratios going to the f/r axles, this will = BANG

    City ordinance......What do you guys think?

    I think you home free, here's why, the ORD. just says TRUCK, NOT truck over a curtain WEIGHT, NOT how many Axles,, NOT COMMUCIAL TRUCKS, but only TRUCK, so no matter what the intent of the ORD, it is what is written in the ORD. so this has to mean ALL trucks, pickups, jacked up 4x4s, 1 1/2 t...

    Why 2650rpm max?

    Would putting in the 5t lighter pistons thus lowering rotating weight mass , give you the higher rpm, this would only work up to a certain rpm, after that the bolts would have the same stress as a lower rpm with the heavier pistons

    Why 2650rpm max?

    Still WHY does not the 5t motor take a dump like the deuce if the RODS and BOLTS are the same, about the only difference that you have found is the heavy pistons in the deuce, could at a high rpm the heavier pistons put to load on the lower rod end and bolts, above what the design is, where the...
