    swap last 2 gears in transmission?

    y'all missed the whole point. if i moved the gears in the trans, i could set the truck by the computer to run 65mph in high gear, so that it would be legal in canada. the cpp officials who are going to be checking it with their hand held computers are not going to be riding in the truck, they...

    swap last 2 gears in transmission?

    of course anyone who decides to attempt this should also take note, that the loss of pulling power because you have much higher gears is quite notable. not a good idea to try if you spend a lot of time on mountains. currently im running about 1550 rpm at 70 mph. I am estimating that this would...

    swap last 2 gears in transmission?

    when i first started driving, i knew a couple of crank head drivers. two of them had this minor surgery done to their trucks. the end result was not only a screwed up shift pattern, something else. the trucks had a whole new gear ratio when they got to the top end. a 13 speed tyranny, is nothing...

    "Could you move your truck so I can park?"

    i parked at the petro in west Memphis. in a t/t, and had my mirror hit 3 time in 15 minuets. the first two drove away, but i got the third. the mirror was not damaged, but my opinion of other drivers sure was. the sad part was that the empty spot thet all three were trying so desperately for...

    Downsizing the boards???

    is this going to be team up, or die? hard to team up when nobody wants to ride in a truck that isnt going to run lots of miles. cant get it through some guys head that expediting is different. let me hire a rookie.
