I wouldn't worry about the weight. All the years I worked at Freightliner I never seen a single truck with a broken/cracked bellhousing because of the weight on the trans, includes the logging trucks and they bounce hard on those wash board roads. They just hanged off the back.

There's no actual lip seal on those Eaton Fuller trans. There's a gasket behind the plate just make sure to line up the oil passage hole for the bearing that the input shaft goes into or it will have a bad day.

Dont need the alignment tool, the plastic ones are't precise. If your mounting the clutch up put it on the imput shaft of the trans, then you don't need to wrestle with alignment, just line up the holes with bellhousing and bolt those on first then the clutch to the flywheel. If you wanna stab...

2 piece in the way to go, when you slice the tabs off a 1 piece your in there with a torch or air chisel cutting it out...ugh I say. 15 spd would be neat-0, I mean with a 18 I doubt you'll ever split high range with the speeds these trucks go.

If you run a hydro setup you MUST run a solo clutch with it. I made a mistake of replacing a solo with a easy-pedal in a cascadia because I figured it didn't matter as it wasn't a warranty job (solos are 75 lbs heavier then the easy-pedal) and it wouldn't engage as soon as I rolled it out of the...

I've done one 14" in a kenworth, it was a easy-pedal type. Brands, stick with Eaton, lots of support and every truck shop has access to readily available parts. I know there other brands but no experience with them, dealership I worked at used Eaton and nothing else.

15.5" Eaton solo clutches are dual disk. I installed about a jillion of them at Freightliner throughout the years, good for 2250 tq. They're made to run exclusively with hydro. Never seen them run with any other setup. The Eaton easy pedal clutches all ran with mechanical linkage, from what I've...

May have to remove and relocate the batteries in the tractors, the shifter probably come up beside the seat.

I remember working at Freightliner all the trans just hung off the back, Kenworths had the little support leaf, Western Star too just they use the bellhousing as the rear engine support.
