  4. I put the information about the Tranny on the BigMackTrucks.com facebook page. You may reference the photo there under the visitors section in the right hand column. Unfortunately I was unable to attach any photos to this forum or gallery. Input on how to correct the issue is appreciated. Thank you, Luke
  5. totally agree i dont care what engine or horsepower you have too big of a jump between gears
  6. 13 speed mack tranny od is .71 low is 13.91 your 2070 tranny is od .60 low is 14.16 the 2070 will run faster and have a slight lower low gear my 2080 had a low of 20.08 and od of .60 with 5.73 gears I could start out loaded on a 60 degree incline and not burn the clutch not a good tranny for the road thou in my opinion
  7. ill be at the shop tomorrow where my book is ill see what i can do i have never posted a pic before but have been wanting to so this might be a good learning experience
  8. keep in mind too that a 13 speed mack will not have as low of a low gear as the 2070 transmission in my mind a 13 speed is more of a road tractor transmission not sure how much you will be using it in the woods pulling out loads of logs i have a mack book that shows the transmission ratios for all kinds of mack transmissions and yes more than likely you will have to shorten driveshaft and redo your pto setup
  9. i talked to a guy in pennsilvania and he too had a early 90s dm tri axle dump that he switch out a mack 2070 and put in a 13 speed mack he also changed from 573 gears down to 442 he said his guys love driving it now said its like a new truck i went with the eaton 8ll because a its cheaper and b i had one in a parts truck and c it has a lower gear ratio than the 13 speeds mack or eaton hope this helps
  10. i was in the same situation as you i had a t2080 mack tranny 3 lows and 5 highs i had 573 rear gears i went to an eaton 8ll and had to switch my rears to 442 to maintain top speed i like the difference not such a big jump between gear changes i had to shorten driveshaft a couple inches i say go for it its only money
  11. hey theakerstwo was your engine originally a em7 300 horsepower engine did you do all the work yourself i would love to get a little more horsepower out of my em7 300 thats why im asking thanks
  12. just letting all know it was a bad day today i had 20 ton of rock on my 91 dm tri axle dump when the rear gears started making a lot of noise since i was only quarter mile from where i was going i limped it there on the shoulder of the road so tomorrow i guess ill get started taking the rear pumpkin out to see the damage not fun
  13. i used one off a r model mack i had to cut a hole in it for the mirror bracket but it worked fine it was one that comes from the factory not a lund brand i can send u a pic if you want i did a little custom work to it i like it alot
