  1. sx 10 wheeler with 58 rears sags 2.5-3 inches when loaded or towing. everything in the rear was replaced 2 years ago except for the springs. trunnion, saddles, insulators, u bolts, etc. we were into the truck for way to much money to spend even more on the springs at the time which was when i was told they didn’t need to be replaced so i decided to hold off.
  2. Don’t bother trying to split low range until you have figured out how to split high range. low range splitting is practically redundant, unless you are really heavy, because the half gears while in low are so close. as for general dump truck driving while loaded, start off in low if needed, shift L-4 while in underdrive, shift to fifth underdrive, then start splitting from there. fifth underdrive then split to direct. preselect up shifts while on throttle, throttle off to allow split to actuate then throttle on. i bring rpms up to around 1900 to up split and usually down split around 1400.
  3. air compressor let go and leaked oil in the air system. how do you clean the oil out of the air system?
  4. i do that also. sometimes i hit the splitter just before i move the shifter and have no problems with gears grabbing but i usually split passing through neutral. only gears that grind when splitting and shifting to the next gear are 3H-4L and 7H-8L. it doesn’t matter if i preselect or split going through neutral, it still grinds. i can smoothly split passing through neutral to the next gear or split just before i move the shifter with all of the other gears with no issuses.
  5. i plan to. i just wanted opinions on the issue.
  6. it has a 2 year warranty and it was installed a few months ago and i do split passing through neutral and the gears still grind.
  7. had a reman 2180b installed and shifting from 3rd high to 4th low and 7th high to 8th low grinds. every other shift slides and clicks right into gear.
  8. whenever i have to firmly and quickly use my brakes, i hear a loud thud sound and my truck pulls hard to the left. my mechanic cant find the issue. could this just be a bad brake chamber?
  9. terminology was wrong when they were saying the synchros were bad. the clutches were worn amongst other things. $5200 was the cost of the reman.
  10. the problem was the gears weren’t meshing together when splitting from underdrive to direct and direct to underdrive while in high range..no problem with gears in low range. splitting in high range would put the transmission in neutral and or neutralize then knock into gear. i was told that all of the synchros were worn and thats what was causing the problem. i put a reman in because it wasnt going to cost much more than repairing what i had. now it shifts fine in every position.
  11. no grinding at all. i range shift, move the shifter, then split.
  12. im going to call the company that did the transmission work and relay what you guys are telling me cause i was told much different. if my problem with this transmission was gear splits not meshing together causing neutralization and or rough engagement, what do you think happened to cause this? im now understanding what mach tech is talking about and didn’t at first due to what i was told previously by other people.
  13. in an 18 speed? why do you think i was told that there is 6 and that they were all worn?
  14. so just range as in high and low..not underdrive and direct?
  15. so how many synchros are in this transmission for splitting gears? the only problem ive had is splitting from underdrive to direct and vice versa. never had a problem with high and low range.
