The t-case housing splits open.

I may put the ISX in a tugboat. Always wanted one.

If I decide to sell it.... There is nothing wrong with the ISX Signature-600 I just acquired, starts and runs perfect.

Thanks. Yes, thread is miles long but full of details, part numbers, etc. My daughter was placed into a double-advanced curriculumn at school, so I’ve been doing hours of Algebra at home instead, 6 days a week, which has slowed truck progression. Just replaced all 12 dog bone ends, and next...

Had our monthly dine-in of local members, and one guy got so excited over the 13 speed, he spilled his beer when showing me how to shift it. Now we just need some snow to melt.

While waiting for Christmas break to perform the swap, I replaced the Eaton/Fuller splitter cylinder cover and valve on the back of the transmission, since the original had a very slight air leak. New splitter cover had tiny air flow ports for the splitter piston, so the action was much delayed...

Yep, that was forwarded to me. I called and texted to chat about, and no response. No big deal. I’m documenting this for anybody else interested in doing the same.

Ok. You’re first on the list.

Trans rear support mock up. Fits so far. Is adjustable height with spacer plates, etc... Second pic is one installed. M939 trucks set the engine and trans to the far right to clear the front driveshaft, so I may need to cut the right side of the spring support and add a frame bracket...

Trans rear support mount came in. I think I bolt angle iron in on each inside of the frame rails to support this. Still have to study that.

Grabbed a new clutch pedal pad for the hydraulic master cylinder, 2010 Freightliner Cascadia. Dealer wanted $70 for the hydraulic clutch hose to include the proprietary clip, not sold by itself. NFW. Over to BMW dealer being they are both German, and away we go, in stock, same part, same use...

Good eye! Gone. Too bad it won’t fit in your PM box. Fuller ran 2 air lines to their shift knob (one for range selector, one for splitter) silly rabbit. I ran a single line to shift knob, then split it. This split should really be internal to the knob channels, whatever. Test shift with...

Replacing all air lines on trans with stainless braid. Small lines to shift knob uprate from 1/8” to 5/32”.

Finalizing small things before the swap over Christmas break. Ordered 2012 Freightliner Cascadia clutch pedal pad for the hydraulic clutch master cylinder, hydraulic clutch hose retaining clip (BMW dealership), replacing all air lines on trans with stainless braided ones JIC ended, ordered...

Noted. Thanks.

Hydraulic clutch slave cylinder installed. U-joint test fit. Both OK. PTO port cover installed for test run on pallet.

Update to above. $240 for 4 gallons of synthetic 50W. Ouch. Can use 40W engine oil, but comparing the change intervals, something good is going on with the synthetic. 60,000 miles fluid change interval if using 40W engine oil, and 500,000 mile change interval if using synthetic 50W. 50W...

Nothing exciting right now besides 2 hours of algebra homework a night with my daughter. Painting trans at work on my lunch break, battleship gray instead of the orange it was. Still need to install clutch pedal in truck before the swap, but we are getting close. $72 for a 5 gallon pail of...

PM sent. This could be the game saving ball. No driveshaft mods! Plug-and-play, just how everybody likes it.

Understood, thanks. Can you take one more measurement? Seems industry goes from U joint bearing ear centerline to far end of spline. Reference pic below, measurement J (tap to zoom): I was was able to spin off the spline seal on mine and measure the spline. It is also 2.5" OD and 16...
