5 ton transmissions.

[madsam]

I just realized I did not know something.. Well I don't know a lot of things..

I have not gotten my 5ton truck yet, so I don't know. Do the transmissions have sincrows, or do you have to double clutch?

Two through five are synchronized.

sin crows are birds which have extramarital affairs? When these trucks get old you should double clutch in some cases to effect good clean shifts...especially when you are shifting the xfer case at speed. But of course our DD was nice enough not to embarass you...not like me... Get the manuals and study them... before you get the truck!!!!!!

Thanks.. I did look at the manual, but it did not say anything about double clutch. I don't care either way, because I can drive either. It sounds like my old Dodge except 2 more gears. In my old jeep I float half the time because it is worn out.
Already Bought the truck. Now I have to study the manuals?

Another way is to pop the throttle just a tad and on the "down rev" it should slip right into gear.

Like in a semi, no need to clutch when you know when the truck needs to shift. Only single clutch on the deuce because it is synchronized.
