  1. If you are familar with the old mack five speed trans. You can shift it like a five speed when your empty, or split any of the five main speeds anytime. The low low has a lockout so it can be used with the main box in first gear only. and you might have to do a little hole modifications, just don't remembeer for sure, I put one in a DM dump years ago with 4.17 rears and just loved it! Terry
  2. I think the end play is set by a button with a lock nut on the cover on the shaft end, with the compressor in place. Loosen locknut snug botton down and back off about a half turn or so and tighen locknut.
  3. As long as the rear u bolts are tight, the loose center bolt should not bother a thing, they only hold the pack together till the u bolts are torqued.
  4. Been their and done this swap,also think the hub that the harmonic balancer sits on has to be changed.
  5. Interior should be tan not the dark gray, maybe had alot of things changed on it.
  6. Very nice! What are the spec's, have you been happy with it?
  7. Sure would be easier just change the rear carrier to a 4.17, there are plenty out there.
  8. Sounds like it is only a yard truck.
  9. Something is not right here, I have driven a RD with seven spd. and 5.55 rears, topped out right at 70 MPH.
  10. If you change to a different trans. you will also have to change the rears.
  11. Biggest problem I have seen is guy's trying to use the low range selector as a splitter, does not work that way !
  12. Also on the front box, top cover bolts
  13. The early ones were basically a 5 speed with a back box, with direct and low on the other stick, or a direct and overdrive on the other.
  14. That truck should give you years of trouble free service. Very good choice ! Terry
  15. I remember seeing trucks for sale their some years ago, when you say the smoke cleared, what happened? terry
  16. I have driven a DM with electronic speedo and tach with no electronics on the engine. terry
