    Simp's Cat 7155 Swap into a M923A1

    Thanks for all the pics. But looking at how tall that transmission is in the frame, I'm thinking I'll just have to watch this one from the sideline. :(

    I'm weird. I enjoy working out things like that. I also work fractions in my head.

    Simp's Cat 7155 Swap into a M923A1

    Wanna hear something crazy? If it was a 8.3 powered truck, they can sustain 2800rpm easily. (They could go higher though) That works out to 100mph. Course I'm doubtful there's enough power on tap to make that happen.

    Simp's Cat 7155 Swap into a M923A1

    Honestly I'd love to go down to a 395 on my SEMTT. Tires can be had with a 67mph rated speed too. And it'd make trailers easier to deal with. The 7155 has a .83 top gear. The 939's t-case is .732 in high range. And of course the 6.44 gears. (Saying tires are 47" tall) According to my...

    I went ahead and posted up a WTB for the transmission, but I had hoped there was somewhere with them on closeout/surplus you lucked up on.

    Where did you order all this? I'm game. Even if I have to redo the crane mount.

    I'm guessing that plate is on the top side? That might make this not work for my project at all.

    Simp's Cat 7155 Swap into a M923A1

    Oh, so it's not a torque converter? I honestly would be interested in this swap for the SEMTT, if it can fit in the area the 654 currently is at. My crane crossmember only has an inch or so clearance over the top of the transmission housing. Also, is there any means to installing a PTO...

    Simp's Cat 7155 Swap into a M923A1

    I'd imagine it wouldn't have a lot of effect until the higher gears. Maybe you'd have to start in 3rd unloaded instead of 4th? I just wondered about the operating rpm of the 250. I know the mentions earlier of being able to pull gears faster works behind it, but you'd be down nearly 100hp.

    Simp's Cat 7155 Swap into a M923A1

    So I guess a NHC250 (pretty much a 290 now, with a nudge more power) likewise isn't going to work well behind it?

    Simp's Cat 7155 Swap into a M923A1

    I'm interested in this too. But I'd probably just stick with the nifty 250 I have in my truck already (has a turbo I added). It'd be kinda spooky to think about the road speed that would be possible. I have "tested" Odin up to 68mph.
