Bushpilot...did your hitch come on the rig or did you have installed aftermarket? I need to upgrade to something along that line, not sure where to start.

seats fit perfect....now I have to finish upgrading the rest of the interior

I bought an International Toter off racing junk last year. have your insurance company run the VIN before hand. I had mine bound by my carrier and when it came time to issue the policy, I had a whipping from underwriting. The claimed it was everything from a firetruck to a school bus...many...

Well, pu the Pirate ship this morning...WOW. I was definitely running a worn out clutch and trans! Pedal is sweet, float shifts up and down...ran up to 81 MPH with motor to spare. I went from driving a tractor to something that resembles a motorcoach...of course a wire disintegrated on the...

The rpm numbers look good with the current rear ratio and we did not want to over correct. Also the current gear set looked good, minimal wear. I pull 15K and the coach weighs 21K filled and fueled (36K gross). So we will run it like it is and if we need more there is that possibility...

Installing a new (rebuilt) trans with OD. Pulled the rear gears to inspect and confirm ratio, 3.55's...everything back there is great Luckily we went the trans route...clutch was almost dead and had a bent clutch shaft. All in all hate to spend the money, but now everything from the engine...

Picked up an in motion from camping world on internet sale...will see how it works. I will just take the standard def box from the house along with a 47" flat screen...kids will be pacified.

Advice for heading into Cali I have heard there are all types of "nuances" to the rules out there....any pointers before I step across the line? We will enter from Nevada just south of Yosemite, head up to Tahoe, across to San Francisco then back out thru Barstow. I was told to fuel in Nevada?

Well......live and learn. Seems my 9 spd is a direct drive and I have 3:55 rearend. If we drop down to one step on rear gears, only drop 200 or so RPMs and not pu much top end. So changing the trans to a 9 spd with overdrive...chart shows 1500 RPM @ 66mph....1800 rpm @ 80 mph Economics don't...

GREAT link!! Says eaton on the top of the case...Seller told me Dayton...I will have to look for the model # and unfortunately the shop is 45 miles away....I can ck it in the am.

That's the fly in the ointment...there are no build tags and no way to check ratios short of jacking up one wheel. Since I have convinced myself that I need to change the ratios, I don't mind having to bench verify what is in there. I do appreciate your offer though. My rig is just short of...

Not sure how to delete the post....SOLD

They have a gear and axle shop making the recommendation. I have asked for calcs and confirmation of my current ratio once they get the gears out...in 30yrs, you never know whats really been changed. It does hurt to replace perfectly good parts that seem to be running perfectly.... I only...

Looking at 3:55 we think it has 4:08 now...400 cummins with 9 spd eaton thoughts?

I am VERY interested in them...My seats are vintage 1984 and no air ride on the passenger side. Hit me up plowery42@yahoo.com and lets work out the specifics. Thanks, Perry

Just got a quote at $3K for gear change and $500 to pull, reinstall Definitely not going to make this up on economy, but dropping the RPM's and postponing rebuild / preventing engine failure makes total $$ sense. Plus our next trip is across Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada in...

I'm looking at them, we are leaving for the Rubicon trail late August and 3 days straight on the road each way would be too much for my hi-tech kids.... The in-motions get HD with DISH, but apparently Direct TV uses a different band for their HD so no one has an in motion (that I have found)...

Fuel economy is definitely a benefit, but the driving force is top speed and reducing the rpm load on the engine. I tend to be a little heavy footed and literally pin it when the prevailing speed limit allows. If I can drop the rpm and pick up the ability to run at the 75 MPH speed limit...

That might work...I havent a clue on any of the gear ratios, so one wheel up two revs of the tire.

Those were my thoughts...1984 it didnt need to run 75 down the freeway. i never use 1st-3rd gears so I could stand to lower the rear end ratio. First step is to find out what ratio I currently have....since I can't jack up the back wheels to check myself, I will find a shop.

Since my chasis was built in 1984, 55 MPH speed limit, I top out at 72. I'm considering a rear end gear change to help my top end and mpg. 400 cummins with a 9 speed eaton...pulls like a banshee and with my 15K of trailer and toys, I can motor past people uphill...till I run out of gear at 2100...

I got very lucky and found the perfect one for me right off the bat on racingjunk.com The longer I own it, the more I love it!

ooops...pictures

This came on my rig, I tow a flat trailer and don't really need the down force.... $200 located in Dallas. Shipping on your nickle

I just installed an on demand between my cab and rv box. Works great...$200 on sale thru camping world. Now I'm converting the previous water heater location to an outdoor shower.
