Joe Ditchkus Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Truck looks good but Reyco suspension and 3.73 ratio on a dump truck is a no no.Joe D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Truck looks good but Reyco suspension and 3.73 ratio on a dump truck is a no no.Joe D.I agree. My 74 RL797 is on Reyco but with 4.11's and that would be marginal I'd think.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Lmackattack Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 alot of superliners had the reyco. not a fan but they were lighter than camelbacks. 3.73 are too fast for a dump truck I was going to change to 3.87 with my 6 speed direct to get a faster top end but just stuck with the stock 4.17s and will await a 12 speed for both a faster top gear and slower low/reverse.....

Joe Ditchkus Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Reyco is fine for over the road but not stable for dump work and not enough articulation also. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'm just guessing, but since it's a California transfer, I'm guessing it doesn't see the "off road" that a typical East coast dump sees. Maybe not? Just thinking out loud. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
