Hey James my friend Terry own 3 trucks he had a 1960 IH BC 180 Tandem axle gravel truck. It was the first dump truck i rode in! it ran rough burn oil like crazy! I got to ride in a 1985 Western Star 4900 dump truck with a 15 speed eaton fuller & a 250 small cam cummins. & the 3rd truck i rode in was a 2002 Western Star 4900x w/sleeper it had a 550 hp Cat 3406 18 speed. I found a Rare 60's Canadian Kenworth kw 923 (i think that the model number dump truck.) it had a also a 250 small cam cummins & a 5+4 Twin Stick Trans. Keep trucking Cheers

Not bad for a one man show! 👍 Love the 2 strokes! They're what turned me on to trucks when I was a young pup. Tacking out while grabbing gears and rolling coal! That's the greatest music to this OG's ears! Can't wait til you test drive her!

My Ole Dad drove International Eagle 86 model with a 15 speed, had to be 65 mph to get it in the big hole. 3 digit Truck, well built BC Cummins. I think they gear down the rears and use they deep reduction to get moving. 500 hp Detriot and 15 spd with some 3.55s or 3.73s i would think would roll bug time.

Put some 50 weight synthetic oil in it with 2wuarts of mineral oil it might save we have done up before and it worked

O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 I didn’t realize that Marla was in such bad shape. I love the Centennial KW cabovers!🥰 Sharp & stunning!🤩 BJ & the Bear got me so hooked on those! Hey, where are your steel toed shoes on this one? Love the air assist on the cab jack. I’ve never seen one like that in person. So cool! Does your safety latch on the cab work? I like the 4x4 catcher. I’ve been there a few times! The back of the motor looked like a Galactic Cruiser. When your Milwaukee driver won’t work, the air tool will get the job done! LOL! This is some cool stuff. It took me a while to get through this, but I learned quite a bit! THANKS! Should be quite a runner when you’re done. So this is gonna be your work truck? Go get a ice cold lemonade or coke now. Blessings my friend. Happy July 4th!🥰💥✌️

I didn’t understand it until years later I was able to drive 2 exactly same new trucks & each was different. This may not be what you were talking about, but it’s how I took it.

Damn. JP. Nice job on the transmission removal. Not for nothing. But if just the back half is trash. Why don't you have your gear man build you a double overdrive rear half. If not. That 15spd is a good choice. Back in the Day. One of my best friends bought an 84 Aerodyne just like Marla. Except that it was powered by a KTA 600 Cummins. We drove it all over the country. All a 15spd is is a glorified heavy duty 10sp. Overdrive. With 5 sp. Deep Reduction. A of the ones that we had were..073 overdrive. I had 4 trucks with that transmission. All had really big power. Still. You only had to drive them as a 10sp. The one's we had had 9 and 10 gear turned around so tenth gear was where nineth was supposed to be. There again. Like JG Wentworth says. It's your money. Spend it like you want. ! Good Luck. Will be waiting to see what you do. ! STAY SAFE OUT THERE 🇺🇸 🤔👍

Boy that’s a dilemma fix the 13 or just put the 15 in. The yoke you might be able to use the one off the 13 if the splines are the same and the depth is the same. That was really clean inside the bell housing. I think gear ratio wise the final drive ratio is the same so the top speed and power wise it should work fine. It’s too bad the length is different. You definitely should replace rear seal while you’ve got it apart. I myself would get the the flywheel resurfaced and replace rear engine mounts also. You’ve got some work to do on the rerouting of those wires so they don’t get caught up in the linkage again. That went great tho that clutch pack is a heavy bugger but you got it out. Can’t wait to see how it goes. Stay safe

Great video as usual. On a personal note I’ve always liked a 15 speed better than a 13 speed simply because hauling heavy loads in coal country that deep reduction really helps out when you’re pulling out in a tough spot. Just my two cents lol.

Hi James I’m curious the guy that tried to sell you a locked up motor how do you know if he’s sold you a transmission that’s got issues I’d feel bad for you if after you get it bolted in pay to make the driveshaft shorter and it won’t move. There’s scammers out there and they don’t have any problems selling junk to anybody so I wish you good luck with the transmission.
