    A one piece (torque limiting) clutch brake doesn't fall out.... although it'd be great if they did when they're compromised (lol) Get ready to have a dirty face and head get'n one of those out. Some two piece ones fall out and often on a truck that's gone through a couple, the inspection hole cover is already a memory. So the pieces very well may be no where to be found .

    I'm curious what powered that when it was closer to new. I've seen pictures of facilities with overhead shafts powering several things it looked like ? 106 years old....wow

    He'll want the 2 inch one .

    "twin sister" ?????

    I'm sure there's an airport in Syracuse, as well as one in Binghamton. Cortland is just about an even distance from either.

    That "suspension" must need torque rods or a rebushing. Lot's of side to side sway there.

    What Jojo said....or ??? take the through shaft out from the back !!! PAY ATTENTION TO THE CLOCKING OF THE OIL TROUGH !!! then put the inner cam in the power divider unit. Bolt it to the carrier ( don't forget air shift goes about 7 o'clock looking at it ) then put through shaft back in. Might be easier if you're not familiar with them. That power divider is a little heavy to finesse in there without some frustration.

    I think it's a different cam from the 350s to the 400+ engines in those.

    I remember setting the E7 at .080

    I know without a muffler, the 350s sounded a lot cooler (lol for whatever that's worth) the 427s didn't sound like that. Something is different with the cam . So maybe there was something overlooked during the HP increase ??? There really ids no way to measure the heat in there where the action is....and even with a pyro it's measuring the heat after the energy of it is spent on the turbo. Those heads are probably both on barrowed time at best if it happened after running it a while.

    There's some difference with the cam. I know the Jake setting is different and if the truck has no muffler the engine brakes sound different . but what is it 🤔

    E Tech 460 (pre 2004) was indeed a fantastic engine. Especially if it was as it should be and taken care of. Tri-axle tractor though ??? The 3406 has way more power and more engine brake. Both make a day ride'n around gross'n over 100K a little shorter.

    I think if your heads are acceptable cores ???? get two new heads and 6 new bolts for the Jakes

    3406E could make a 460 seem like a 237

    There's a nice ten wheeler in NJ on Craigslist for 25K nice clean RD

    That might be the desktop reading lamp.

    I had a 2006 CT. I bought it new and in 6 years, it was cut up and exported. I can say without a doubt it was the worst truck I ever owned .

    WTH wouldn't you be happy to have it 🤣

    That looks like one of those leg lamps like in Christmas Story

    The 2006 CTs were Granites. They were the first ones with the fender flares into the headlights and a set back axle.

    Is it me ? or is there several Jazzys in that one too

    CHs could be made with a liner in the frame. Wasn't uncommon to see them with 46s and a liner. The CH tended to be a little lighter in the front end. I'd think the frames only got so big too. (like able to handle some weight on the blacktop, not able to take it twisting over rough terrane) I sold one of my tractors like he's describing 20 years ago to a guy that put a body on it and lined the frame with bent plate. It's still going to this day pulling the tag along and hauling 15 ton loads.
  23. Mark T
    He might be thinking of a CT they were '06s

    RD or CV GU CL all depends what you plan on doing with it. For some guys this truck in question may do the job....others it may not. It's likely a Fuller RTX14609B in it and around a 4.11 or 4.30 axle (probably Eatons) an 8LL is like that tranny with a deep reduction (kinda) Lots of work to put into something after buying it unless it was really a good deal. Nobody's give'n 8LLs away or put'n them in for free.

    Personally, I don't think there's anyone better to be the shutterbug at these events than OD
