Since the T2060 was most often used with the EM7 300L which had a max RPM of 1750.

At the risk of annoying my audiance, the truck I was looking at but have now counted out thanks to the knowledge I've learned on this web site, had a EM6 300hp, or at least that is what the sales man told me, what is the difference between EM6 and EM7, can they both be 300hp? Also, the T-2060 I was told is a T-2060A Could you break down all the numbers and the A in this transmission model number, so I can understand what I am reading when I shop for another truck. Thank you.

The T2060 doesn't really have a deep enough reduction in lo range to make it suitable for heavy hauling IMO.

Can you tell me what the ratio is in the lo forward/reverse so I can compare that to other transmission ratios we know. thank you

Do you need the ability to "creep" along, like under a combine chute, etc. while loading? If so the 6 speed might not go slow enough for you. The 7 and 8 speeds were designed for applications like curb pouring and such and are as slow as they come.

I am looking for a truck that I can make a cotton module hauling truck out of the bed I have has hydrolic tracks on it that pull the live bottom bed under the cotton module. When the fields are muddy you assist the bed with your axles but it must be slow enough to mach the tracks. Also, these mudules can weigh 30,000lb. so you must be able to drive out of the soft field without burning up your clutck, etc. Thank you

The one thing you have to remember is the 2060,2070, and 2080 trans take a different rear ratio than a fuller or a mack 6 or 12 spd. tranny. Terry

Thank you for your knowledge, I'm not sure I fully understand, are you saying that the rearend gear ratio is too high or did I miss understand? Please explain your above statement a little more.

Yes, hours X MPH, But on dump truck around here 35mph is usually the max and I just checked an asphalt hauler and it was 13mph average. I just checked a CXU over the road truck and it was ave. 54 mph and it dosent idle at night due to having a APU generator insalled.

thank you for your help, the current truck I am looking at was a sheetrock dealivery truck with a boom to load and unload, so I wasn't sure how many hours/miles it would have, where are you getting your numbers from?

Do you happen to know about how many hours before a customary overhaul is needed?

How many Miles are = to a hour on trucks, do you just take the hours and times that by 55 (mph) to get an estimate on miles on vocational trucks.

thank you for your advice, my knowledge is limited, would you know about how much it would cost me to buy a T2070, T2080 Eaton Fuller 18 or 8LL to put in a truck if I bought the truck that aready had the T2060. I am having a very hard time finding truck with heavy specs. and a long frame and enough Hp and trany torque.

I am shopping for a mack with heavy specs, is this a transmission model that fits that description? I need a low low in forward and reverse for loading and unloading with a live-bottom bed in offroad applications if this one isn't does someone have a list of trans. that would fit this description. I am looking for trucks from late 80's to late 90's to meet my needs, however, I would like to learn about all heavy specs not just the late 80's to 90's. thanks
